| If you want a good 3D animation/rendering application... take a look at Blender. Its a completely free program (open source), and is excellent for creating games, as well as 3D animation. Just look at the gallery on their site: http://www.blender3d.com As for animation master, I've never heard of it. |

| yeah. The only way you are gonna get good at finding physical relationships is by having a strong base in equation manipulation and geometry/trig. After you know how things work mathematically, you can take several simple relationships found in physics and apply them to a broad spectrum of problems.... |

If the net outside forces acting on a system are equal to zero, then the body is in equilibrium, or it continues to do whatever it is doing...

When the two masses collide what is the maximum compression distance of the spring? (the collision is 1-D... |

| actually, using the comparison test, I found that when p>1 the series converges because: 0<=(ln n)/n^p<=1/n^p and when p>1, 1/n^p converges and therefore the original series converges... i think this works, but its cool cause I can loose one point on the hw. and it wasnt on my test today so its all ... |

So I called my mother and asked her what she thought an appropriate reaction would be and it was generally the same thing you guys said.
