I can only see it as being useful for finding the equation parameters at one instant, but not over the whole rotation.

And that c better not mean centripetal/centrifugal force. :mad:

Um, that equation is pretty much only for centripetal force, which is quite real, thank you very much. And for the original question - no, that won't tell you everything if you have a tangential acceleration - either the orbit will increase or the force must increase. Context may help, as always.

Edit: Yeah, Globex, probably a much better approach to analyze the gravitational force for your pendulum, right? Simple combination of that with trig should let you find Tension for your problem more easily, I'd think.
 
As I recall things....

"Plotinus is an historian." is correct.

"I saw an hilarious episode of Seinfeld." is also correct.

The vowel after the "h" determines whether or not "a" or "an" is used. I's require "an".
¿lol wut?
 
I'm a sub editor and I can't resist responding to this one.

For words that begin with a silent 'h', ie hour (pronounced 'our'), it is preceded by 'an'.

If the h is stressed, then the word is preceded by 'a'.

This is due to the awkwardness of saying, for instance 'a egg' as opposed to 'an egg'.

For historian (pronounced 'his-to-ri-an'), it is preceded by 'a'. However some slangs might pronounce it as 'is-to-ri-an (dropping the h), so in those cases using 'an' might be more convenient. Choose the article that suits your pronounciation.
 
"Everybody is insane but me" is a good way to get institutionalized.
Yet numerous films and television shows have proven that I am correct. If you'll excuse me, I have to travel back through time to father the saviour of humanity.

Historian has an "h" sound. So it doesn't have to have an "n" sound before it.
Not according to my English teachers, and this guy:

As I recall things....

"Plotinus is an historian." is correct.

"I saw an hilarious episode of Seinfeld." is also correct.

"A hockey puck slammed him in the face." is correct.

A hundred men...

A humongous crowd...

A hesitant performer...

A hanged man is a dead man.

Thanks. I've also heard 'an hilarious,' I just didn't think of it.

:wallbash: Historian, not 'istorian! :mad:
Bite me.

Good response. Full of information.

Doesn't really work, since I never have, and never will, drop the 'h' in 'historian.' Neither does anyone I know, nor has anyone I've ever heard, including the aforementioned English teachers. Except for them Northern English types. I'm not pronouncing the word 'hilarious' any differently to anyone else I've ever heard either. It seems to me that awkwardness comes from saying 'a' instead of 'an' in front of 'historian' and other words like Birdjaguar mentioned.
 
To speak English well with a Cockney or French accent it is vital to completely ignore the dictionary and a/an your h's by usage. This is why the BBC's fixation with "an Historic" is an abomination before god.

So the BBC's fixation with the correct pronunciation is wrong because your accent can't get your tongue around it? :confused: I hereby declare the entire French language to be wrong, not to mention the frigging Spaniards.
 
Does anyone know what the original "advice dog" meme picture was?
This?

i'm not sure of its origin.
 
In Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto, and Ottawa, can I pay with American dollars for everything if I feel like it? If not, can I go to any local bank and exchange some American cash for Canadian cash?

My opinion is just go to an ATM and take out some money on your bank card or credit card. And you can use your credit card to pay for most things. Let the bank handle the exchange rates.
 
Um, that equation is pretty much only for centripetal force, which is quite real, thank you very much.

Not if you fix your frame of reference.
 
AFAIK, it's just an extention of newton's first law which basically says 'stuff keeps on doing what it's doing until force is applied to it'. This holds true for masses in a vaccum as well as for cadet units.
 
No, I didn't say "centrifugal" which is just a result of inertia, as Flying Pig rightly points on. It sounds like ICBM was confusing "centripetal" with that.
 
I think I may have asked this here before, I can't remember the answer though and don't feel like searching for it.

My question: Can you bite into the dietary supplement capsules, multivitamin tablets, etc. with no bad effects? Or do you have to swallow them?

I mean I guess swallowing the tablets/capsules would ensure the vast majority of nutrient/supplement would be absorbed in the stomach, but does it matter necessarily where it is broken down/absorbed?
