HOMEWORK HELP Thread

Big Mike · 03-25-2007, 05:13 PM

I made this thread woth inspiration from CutlerChris and his homework problems. Post problems with homework here and see if The Elders on these forums can help you with them.

princefielder28 · 03-25-2007, 05:15 PM

I can probably help with US History, Chemistry, Physics, and Math becuase I've taken college courses in high school on these subjects

Why? Why... Why! Why would people ask for help here? Unless they have no access to the telephone, the outer world, parents are dead, no IM service works on their pc and the only page that loads is this one, why would people want advice on homework from here?

My predicament is that I don't have any one in my class' phone number, nobodys on MSN, I have no idea what it's even asking, and nobodys responding to the topic on the class discussion forum. I also asked my dad, and he was hella confused. So I am completely desperate at this point.

I remember answering questions like that in Grade 12 Physics. It's asking how fast the person was travelling I believe, they just left out a word.

I can't remember how to do it, sorry. Physics isn't my strong suit.

What class is it for?
Physics would be speed or velocity of the pole vaulter I am assuming.
Calculus would be just figuring out the angles and distance's of the triangle but there's not enough info. One side and one angle [you can assume the 90 degree angle opposite the Hypotenuse].

Also, I don't know about that. I think there's to many variables. There needs to be another piece of information.

If it is indeed calculus, use the SOHCAHTOA technique but you would need another angle or side...

Physics I'm rusty on and I would have to look some refreshers up online....

I still think there is missing info.

Yeah, it's physics. I figured it out, it's asking speed, so I had to use the Total Energy, Kinetic Energy, and Potential Energy thing my class did, and I got it. It's 9.2m/s. Thanks for everyone who helped me out.

Also, critesy, do High School Musical.

wow i hated doing that stuff, physics was a fun class cause my teacher loved doing experiments and demos, not to mention the first day of class he asked us what we knew, when someone said something he replied how do you know, then another class he jumped from table to table dude was crazy. but i hated doing the math because im lazy with math,im good at it which is probably why im lazy.

Because people on here can help more than the people they know?

princefielder28 · 03-25-2007, 09:41 PM

If people truely need help send me a PM

This quote contains great irony.

Because none of my family speaks Japanese and I dont like my teacher and everybody else is failing the class

If I had homework problems I don't think I'd look here......

i wouldnt look for help anywhere but a teacher, bul utler Chris wuld. but like i said when it comes to math/scienve sometimes nobody can help nless they have a backround knowlege of it. For Example my mom is a business lady so she probably wouldnt know crap relating to Physics or CHemistry.

I'll count you out for help on English.

I refuse to believe that someone who has graduated from law school would use the word "wud". No offense, but if I believed that I would lose all hope in humanity.

I suppose in respect to this thread, I'm useful in regards to talking philosophy and writing, but I suppose if anyone knows how to cure a case of writer's block I'm all ears. I need to pump out an essay by Tuesday and I'm having an utter ***** of a time getting started.

Moses · 03-25-2007, 05:21 PM

Can somebody write me an essay on one of the following topics:

(1) Does Mill’s “harm principle” allow for enough state intervention in our mutual dealings and exchanges? Why or why not? Give examples.

(2) What does Hobbes mean by a “state of nature”? Do you think he is right to insist that without a very strong government we would descend into such a state? Can you provide any examples to back up your answer?

(3) Compare Nozick and Marx on the problem of private property. Does each individual have an inalienable right to his or her property? What limitations, if any, should the State impose on this right? Be sure to display an awareness of what the opposing view would object to in your position. Can you meet your opponent’s objections?

I say we make an essay request thread....

I got this one boys.....

03-25-2007, 05:29 PM

Guys I am a junior in HS, and I am trying to decide what major I should have in college I will probably go to Ohio State. I am thinking astrophysics but IDK yet.

Sad thing is I took Political Theory last year and could probably write the first two essays. Unfortunately I don't have time for that. #2 would by far be the easiest though.

I just wrote an entire essay like a week ago on a very similar subject for a Philosophy class I'm in. I wasn't a big fan of the Leviathan, but Hobbes has a lot of valid arguments.

Moses · 03-25-2007, 06:30 PM

I actually already did that assignment and decided to do #1. I'm a big John Stuart Mill fan so it made the most sense to do.

UKfan · 03-25-2007, 05:37 PM

Does it mean like how fast she was moving or something in order to clear the bar? It's a real vague question and doesn't have a lot of information to go on either.
