So far I have been just skimming the surface, and I wanted to go for the jugular, but, why hurry, I have nothing on my agenda but to increase the price to US$200m, and today I will start tackling applied mathematics, which is the basis of some rocket science... after all, they did manage, both Russians and Americans, to put their payloads into space based on mathematics, yes?
Da?
Yuri Gagarin and the Space Wars, anyone?
Now, where were we?
OK, it is a given, that, for the motion of an object, based on (...hey why go too deep, let us start on the basics, because even the most complicated equation of motion is just the basic equation with a few tweaks worked in...) the famous equations of motions derived from Sir Isaac Newton's insightful views on nature [hmm English flavour there!!] that any body, of mass m, will, when acted upon by a force, travel thusly
Let 'u' be the initial speed in a specified direction,(straight line); they call that the initial velocity;
't' be the time taken to travel from the starting point to the end point, or any point on the journey;
'a' the acceleration of the object, or deceleration, which is the time taken to change velocity in a given time, which is THAT time we are talking about, above,
Then, the final speed, in the same direction,'v', or, more correctly, the final velocity, is given by;
v = u + at......(i)
so, one KNOWS the time, and one actually works out the, (GET THIS!!) time taken to change the time taken to cover a certain distance, which is basically what acceleration is defined as, then one multiplies THAT time taken by the acceleration, adds the initial velocity, 'u' and one gets a final velocity!
That is deep there!
Imagine having an answer that depends on you knowing what the answer is before you begin working out the answer and THEN finding the answer, after you have worked everything out! Well, you do not have to imagine it, it is being done!
And someone may wonder why I mock Einstein's equation for which he is so well remembered! It is OK for someone to say something like, I am in the middle of nowhere, but quite another for someone to actually calculate where EXACTLY the middle of nowhere IS, and use convoluted logic to arrive at the answer.
Since when is time a product of anything?
How is it possible to have 'acceleration-times-time'?
But that is small change when one considers the following;
the other equation of motion, based on the laws of conservation of energy, no less, where one can actually CALCULATE the amount of 'kinetic energy' that one possesses [in the academic world, something HAS to have some ENERGY to do anything; even sitting like a log, as a log would, it has to have 'gravitational potential energy'!] goes:
2 2
v = u + 2as, where 's' is the distance as the proverbial crow flies.
If you even read my post yesterday, you will see why one can not have the square of velocity...
Oh my, oh my, do I have to start getting REALLY graphic here?
Because the next post, I will have to start a full di-section of the whole mathematical setup, from top to bottom, and i will not be just cruising lightly as I currently am.
I am not going to just touch on the spots here and there but I am now going to be methodical, going from one level to the other.
I do not want money, as such, but you will still have to pay. And it is US$200m now, guess what it will be when I am through?
How many billions are spent in the education budgets of a single nation? And to have them all poured down the drain because I am going to pull the bottom out of everything?
Pay me my pittance, and YOU get to address the problems yourselves and keep the bottom intact... or do not and the bottom is out and you still lose
