In other words is the TRUE color really red? I have heard that color is the light not absorbed by the object, therefore the color we see is the refracted/reflected light waves..and so on... so I guess the question is: What color is a RED APPLE?

the problem: a stone is thrown with an initial speed of 10 m/s. How high it will rise?
Solution: acceleration is a=-g so
v(t) = -gt+10, x(t)=-gt^2/2+10t, you equate v with 0, find t and replace for x....
My question: don't we consoder the mass since, if you throw a light stone will go furhter than a heavy one?

Tell me, please, what is the meaning of the following sentence:"
This realizes a 126 times extended dynamic range which is equivalent to an outstanding dynamic range of 52dB."

I just cannot understand it!

Do the planets in the solar system and the sun come in a perfect alignment, just like the earth, moon and the sun comes in alignment during an eclipse? If so, when? This question is a inspired by the movie, Tomb Raider

I have had some success creating predictive models using a fairly simple Poisson distribution model for individual players' rebound and assist numbers in basketball games. These figures match the requirements of the poisson distribution; namely, they are infrequent and occur 1 at a time.

I was working on trying to create similar models for points scored by a player in a basketball game. However, point scoring occurs differently: players can score a 2 point basket, a 3 point basket, and a 1 point free throw. If I had numbers for all of these different types of scoring, any suggestions on how to put them together and model a player's total scoring output?

I'm mainly using this for two different purposes:
1. Predicting how many points the individual player scores (ie. "Probability that Player X scores more than 15 points)
2. Predicting players' scores in relation to each other (ie. "Probability that Player X scores more than Player Y).

Thanks in advance!

To divide a number by .01, move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

Is that statement true or false?

Please answer TRUE or FALSE and explain why

If I were to tell you that you would be making a trip, on this trip you will be crossing a certain number of checkpoints. Then I was to tell you that this number of checkpoints is infinity, it would be safe to assume that the total trip would be of a infinite distance, and it would take you a infinite amount of time. But, the trip is only 100 feet long. What I did was drew a starting line and finishing line exactly 100 feet apart. Then I put the first check point halfway, at 50 feet, then the next checkpoint between the halfway mark and the end at 25 feet. Then the next at 13 1/2 feet, then the next at 6 3/4 feet... etc, each exactly half way between the last checkpoint and the finishing line. Since a number can be divided in half a infinite amount of times, then there could be a infinite amount of checkpoints along a 100 foot stretch. I know this logic is wrong, but I've yet to find a web site explaining why or how it's wrong.
