dbrutherford 0 #26 January 21, 2007 Yeah you are right. To find the min or max of any mathematical function, you must take the first derrivative of the mathematical formula and then set that first derrivative equal to zero. Then solve for the varible you took the derrivative of. d-gold, I was just giving the deffinition of Newton's second law and how "g's" were determined. I didn't go into the mathematical formula of acceleration. What you are talking about is whether that formula is either linear or nonlinear. The basic deffinition of acceleration is the change in velocity devide by time. Remember the deffinition of velocity is the change in position divided by time.

hommeobus 0 #28 February 5, 2007 Right! We measured some 4.5 G for some 40 meters. They apply perpendicular to the body, and don't drain the brain dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
