Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

My original calculation wasn't off, I got 67N last time, 72N this time.

AdamHeard, care to share how you did your calculations? Brushing up wouldn't be a bad idea.

I just used my ti-84 to be honest

I integrated the acceleration of 9.8m/s/s to get a velocity as 9.8(x) m/s.

I then graphed the integral of that (position) and just saw where it intersected a horizontal line that was the distance traveled. That gave the time to travel that distance; From there the speed was as easy as putting that time into the velocity equation above.

It's all really basic calculus. So, if you haven't taken it yet, don't worry; you'll get it really fast once you do.

Wow. I had forgotten about this thread.
Just promise me that once you have this all figured out, you won't try to test it out in 2008

Although that would make an awesome YouTube video and Mythbusters episode! Sounds to me like there's as much fun in the hotels as the actual event. We aren't paying to go this year, but I'm hoping we play our way in. Last student year for me, and I want to enjoy Championships before converting into a college NEM.

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

A LOT of great conversations... Movies.....

Then after things settle down and its just the real close group in a room... (no, i know what your all thinking and NO).... we play Halo till like 1/2/3 in the morning, and somehow manage to wake up the next day...

-q (who is on the edge of his seat waiting for Halo3)

Undisclosed.

We did have one almost broken ankle though...he was running down the stairs...and managed to somehow twist it oddly on the last step. Yes, last step. Haha.

Re: What is your team up to at your hotel?

The kids? who knows.

The mentors pretty much spend the entire evening eating dinner, figuring out the next day's schedule/tasks that need to be done, scouting, and formulating pick lists. Not much time for play
