I prefer what Ernest Rutherford said,
“If you can’t explain your physics to a barmaid it is probably not very good physics.”
He must have hung a lot at the local pub!
No day job left bro so comedy is my specialty........
–that 10,000 hours of practice can turn anyone into an expert–probably isn’t true, a new study says...
Perhaps you could collect deposit bottles/cans and run them to the high paying states?
I haven’t noticed any on FR but many other sites have many offers of high paying jobs, no work required!
Just a few clicks away.
That happened to me as well . I got 2d=60(d/30 +t2) Where t2 is the time of the return and d=the distance traveled one way. That works out to t2=0 . That is when I saw the trick! When you know the math necessary to plow through a problem you usually just work through it mathematically until you've come up with an answer. It's almost an automatic process.
Actually, you left a hole in your statement of the problem.
The Einstein version explicitly specifies 1 mile up and 1 mile back. Your version does not specify the length of the route, and does not specify that the return trip is the same distance. So I could take the direct route getting there at 30 mph, and a much longer alternate route getting back, which would allow me an average speed of 60mph
Not interested.....After all, I have my own lone idiot audience........Don't forget to tip the waitress......LOL!
I think your right... It's like the old frog in the hole problem.. :)
Well she was probably not a very good barmaid!
Even more so if considered old back then when the question was given in '34.
