so ive got a horrible function and shit. when i do
plots[animate](plot, [Ax-axionAx, z = 0 .. 200], t = 0 .. 1/1500000, frames = 100)
i get pic related, but when i do
plot3d(axionAx-Ax, z = 0 .. 200, t = 0 .. 1/1500000)
i get whats in the next picture.

so why is there such a disparity between the 3d plot and the animation? is there any way to fix the 3d plot, because the animation is right, but i need the 3d plot

I dont know. I can estimate it with graphs, but I dont know how to calculate it.

unless im just forgetting something really basic like an idiot...
>>
>>7971740

[eqn]\sin \theta = \cos \theta[/eqn]
[eqn]\sin \theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}[/eqn]
[eqn]2\sin^2 \theta = 1[/eqn]
[eqn]\sin \theta = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/eqn]

Moral of the story, substitute either sin or cos and solve for the trig function.

Where do I even start with this problem? I get the feeling that I'm supposed to use differentiation to prove this, but it explicitly says right there that F=ma can't happen because m is not constant for particles.

I've never taken physics in my life.

>>7971565
in SR, write the product of m times v

then write v = v(t) since v depends on time t, then differentiate with respect to time t

usual the chain rule

then render manifest some acceleration a, which is defined as whatever makes you get the final result on your sheet

>then write v = v(t) since v depends on time t, then differentiate with respect to time t
What I posted is the entire text of the problem. There's no v or m given elsewhere to differentiate, or any other functions for that matter.
>>
>>7971593
you are wrong

you know that F = d/dt (mv) which is true in SR

but in SR the mass m= m(v) is what is given, with v depending on time t, so you must be careful when you differentiate wrt the time t

in newton, mass is cst wrt the time t and the velocity v.

your whole problem is a chain rule.

there's more hydrogen in the universe than other elements. what else you fucking idiot? jesus how is this a question? think about it; the progenitors of other elements are these stars. when they exceed a certain size they reach a critical phase that prevents an accretion disk of a large enough scale that could produce fuckhuge exoplanets.

The rich get richer. The biggest object around tends to accumulate more mass than other nearby objects, making it even bigger, and even for likely to pick up mass, and so on. Also with the really big ones a lot of their volume isnt particularly dense

>hurr engineers learn just as much as mathfags and physicists
>in uni: calc III/ODE
>in real life: excel and basic geometry with CAD

it's like bragging you one rep'd a plate in high school on /fit/ while you clench a shaker in your personal gym. why are engineers so deluded? i'm not going to deny they're important to society, but in no way are you on even intellectual ground with real STEM majors. Every single project or contribution you make is built on the premise that a physicist or mathematician produced. if they didn't exist, you wouldn't be able to do your job. CS fags are useless? guess who made your CAD software and CNC firmware. Engineers need to stop talking so much shit about these. You need to learn all of them, the programming, the CAD/matlab/C++/etc, and the theories that work in ideals. if you can't adapt yourself why are you even trying to act like your opinion matters? it's asinine. I just find this so fucking hilarious. You really do have to be 1st year tier to be so butthurt about theoreticalfags or CSfags to think that they're useless, when you can't even work past draught stages or cost analysis.

>in real life: excel and basic geometry with CAD

not even remotely true. practicing engineers are very involved with numerical methods, particularly convergence of solutions and orders of error. i know you think CAD software is nothing but virtual legos, but they are comprehensive CFD/FEA packages which require knowledge of PDE's and complex analysis.

So it seems to me like there are two kinds of people that complain about depression. One seem to have reasonable reasons to feel down. Like being ugly, sick, poor, dumb, friendless, social phobic, without education/job... the other seem to be irrational and unable to explain why they feel bad. They have a college degree, good job, friends and a significant other...

So is the first case depression or just a reasonable reaction to being dealt a bad hand / being in a bad place in life? Then again there are people that have the same conditions without complaining about depression. Is it just a depression that happened early in life so it shaped the rest of it?

Recently I've seen several psychologists and psychiatrists say that combining several things into 'major depression' was a mistake and that 'melacholic' and 'reactive' depression should have been maintained as separate diagnoses.

Depression is great, it makes you work. Happiness is equal to absolute poverty, you are too happy you don't care etc happiness throws duty, morals out of the window, happiness is like snorting cocaine, it will eventually make you poor and die
