Angry Well, it's 3:11am....

...just finished a paper for my stupid "Arts & Ideas" class.

I think I'm going to skip Modern Corrections tomorrow (or is it "later today"?), because I don't like it.

What do you guys think?

UPDATE: It's 4:30 - I'm declaring a snow day.

Sure it's 80F outside, but since I've declared a snow day, it's far too dangerous for me to make my commute. Better stay around here.

I wish more things were this easy

here's my situation

It's 6:01 am, and i'm stuck on my physics work.

"Express the linear speed (v) in terms of the radius (r) and the number of revolutions per second (n). Substitute so as to express the centripetal force in terms of m, r and n"

Not a clue what it means...i've been thinking about it since...umm...thursday.

LOL, I thought about taking a sick/snow/relax day last thursday. Everything building up puts a lot of stress on someone.

lol yeah just a joke, i pretty much failed physics after on a test i put " real far and real fast" to the question about the speed a bullet would travel fired out of a certain firearm on a humid day in july, and how far it would travel based on its weight. lol

V = N * 3 * (pi.) * R , what you're doing is converting rev/sec to radians/sec (one revolution equalls three * pi. * radians) and because a radian can be anything you need it to be, you multiply by the radius to get meters/sec and thus your linear speed.

Force = M * V * V / R

yeah, but we didnt get to radians yet, so i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the answer.

I went to class today with nothing at all, and i discovered that nobody in my class was able to figure it out either. So i dont feel too bad

Chris,

We HAD some snow here.

I'd go to class, but then again I'm not you and I didn't follow that advice while I was going to school.
