Question One: A train runs off the tracks at an initial speed of 50 Miles per hour. It heads off a cliff and falls for 3 seconds. How high was the cliff?

Me: "Oh, *****, Which program did I place my Physics Equations in. Thank god for TI 83+!" - outhouseinput, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13My TI-83+ can own a Casio any day. Bring it on!
(Sign below if you shamelessly use your calculator as an electronic "cheat sheet" and never get caught. Sign also if your passing of any class is entirely dependent on the effectiveness of this aforementioned "feature") - Bean945, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I didn't know there were calculator fanboys aswell >_
- checksumz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Good for them, their calculators served me well in HS calculus.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Wow, I think the last time I heard the word Casio was for a prize at the end of Legends of the Hidden Temple
- Tainek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6There are fanboys for everything
_Everything_ - gmprunner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7According to my calculator, that's... 3.333 for every person in the U.S.!
- wheeliedude, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Now all we need is a calculator that can calculate over a billion.
- flag564, on 10/12/2007, -3/+810th grade french class would not have been the same without my TI-81 coming out at helpful times during written exams.
- Hoovooloo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Chicken101:
You're confusing the x and y axis-the height and acceleration are in the y direction, but the initial speed is in the x direction
Thus, for y-(yi)=(vi)t-.5at^2, vi=0
y-(yi)=-.5*-9.8m/s^2*(3)^2
y-(yi)=h=44.1m - nobogeys217, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I like punching random numbers for a long time and then running through them. It looks kind of like the matrix.
Gotta love the TI-84+ silver edition. It has interchangeable face-plates and preloaded with anything you need + a few games. (for when you are not in class of course.) - CraigB12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Perhaps if their calculators were higher in quality, then they wouldn't have to sell so many.
- hobbers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MaxPayne3476,
I can't tell if you are joking. Please help me.
h=.5*a*t^2
h=.5*9.8*3^2=44.1 - Yander, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Casios are good but real engineers use a TI-89. It is essentially a voyager 200 computer without a qwerty keyboard so it is allowed on most standardized tests and more importantly the AP Calc Test. It dominates any Casio
- sulthernao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@MaxPayne3476
9.8 m/s^2
Notice the units, also take note that gravity is a force and thus accelerates the object.
Both hobbers and Hoovooloo are right. the answer is 44.1 meters. The horizontal velocity of the car makes no difference in this problem.
y = y1 + v1*t + 1/2*a*t^2. - MagicBobert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3My TI-89 can own your TI-83 any day, bring it on!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I find it odd that you don't see the site spam in Vulpes' post.
- sulthernao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29999999999999999999999101113999999999999999999999990000000000000000000000089886
I did that on my TI-89 (might of missed a couple of 9's that you posted, so sorry. I hope your life doesn't depend on this oh so vital information). - squishee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Do you have seventeen dollars and a nice watch?"
"No...I've got two dollars...and a Casio!" - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6@pix
h = 22.2m/s(3) + (1/2)(-9.8)(3)^2
h=110.7 meters
(: - anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Recurring of course.
- D4r7h3v1l, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Obviously nobody got the "Da Ali G Show" reference.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3When i read the title and up until i clicked the link i thought it was "Casino" :(.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I always liked their Calculators better than Texas Instruments, however they make ***** digital cameras
- MagicBobert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just because you suck at math doesn't mean the rest of us do.
- vistic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wouldn't have to sell so many.... to what? What on earth does your comment even mean and who dugg it up?
Good quality or not, every company wants to sell "many" of their product and selling "so many" is a GOOD thing... not something "they have to do". - AETAaAS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ive got a SVPAM fX-350TL. It last me over 10 years, Casios are cheap but very usable. Id be hard pressed to find anyone in my area who hasnt owned a Casio.
- whistle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have casio fx100s VPAM that i got it in 1991. It took me through high school, undergrad engineering and 2 masters degrees. And it works like a charm and never even had to change the battery. It is my first and only calculator.
Casio makes awesome ones for sure that truly last a life time. - delta013, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not surprising since the Casio FX-260 Solar is the official calculator of the GED. I'm sure many schools have ordered a few hundred thousand of them.
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I still wear CASIO Databank watches. ;)
- nobogeys217, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The best thing to do is sit by the smart person and act like your calc. is dead and borrow theirs between problems. So you dont cheat, they clear the screen and then hand it to you. Then you push recycle and see the answer. It worked once, for a while until they got tired of sharing their calculator.
- BigEazy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Pretty sure Microsoft has sold more calculators.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well, i'll be damned - i didn't realize that casio made calculators
- meandmymouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mine wasn't able to
- Sprules04, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11*10^84?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That took a long long time
- codyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well how many cell phones are on this Earth? Take that number, and figure each one has its own calculator function, and it probably surpasses a billion itself (over the years / total count of cell phones with this feature)
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
- dpl_, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Casio fx-991MS FTW
This thing is the quintessential engineering calculator, and it's only 20 bucks. - scootinger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Hmmm, how does TI compare to this?
- hassan11, on 04/08/2008, -0/+0Casio is a well known brand name and its products are commonly seen in most households in the form of wrist watches, clocks and calculators. However, they are less well known for other products such as musical keyboards, PDAs, electronic dictionaries and digital diaries, printers, portable and handheld televisions, etc. PDAaccessories.com mainly related to PDAs and laptops, our readers would be interested to know that Casio has the following PDAs available: Casio BE 300, Casio E 10, Casio E 100, Casio E 125, Casio E 200 and Casio EM 500. Although this is not a comprehensive list it does cover the more popular Casio PDAs.
- laneh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I was always a huge casio fan. Sorry, never used TI's.
Remember those old school Casios with color that used to amaze everyone? I remember the days I would save up for a PC hookup so that I can download color tetris. - allaun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To be honest i thought the post said casino at first. I kind of wondered why so many people were calculating the odds of their winning. My mistake, but it would kewl to see that many calcs in a casino.
- MagicBobert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1TI's are better. :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i own like 6.. these things just pop up out of nowhere.. i dont even remember buying any of them
- kucalc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0CASIO beats any TI! CASIO invented the graphing calculator! CASIO is well known for their innovation in watches, but their calculators are awesome! You wouldn't be having your HP and TI graphing calculators if it wasn't for CASIO.
The Texas Instrument TI-81 is just a copy of CASIO's fx-7000 (the first graphing calculator). Don't believe me? Take a look at the hardware yourself.
CASIO's newest graphing calculator the fx-9860SD, beats all TI's. The fx-9860 is currently the fastest graphing calculator, averaging about 5-7 times faster than TI's and HP's, has a high contrast display screen and has a SD card slot for expandable memory.
CASIO's CFX series of graphing calculators have color and are much better for mathematical purposes than a TI-83.
The CASIO ClassPad 300 features a big screen, CAS system with pen-stylus input.
The CASIO Algebra FX runs on a DOS operating system. It's similar to a PC! - nmathew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That sounds right, I own 3.
I've had one for 12 years now, and I love the stupid thing. I'm just terrified that I'll loose it again, because I'm so used to it and where all the buttons are. I lost it in college, and it turned up a year later in the nuclear reactor room of the chemistry building. I thought I had lost it forever, and I had already bought a replacement. I immediatly reclaimed my lost property, but I never got an answer as to why it hadn't been placed in lost and found and instead a professor has placed her property sticker on it. (yes, said professor admitted that it was "found" around the time I lost it and returned it to me) - Laokaplow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Why is everyone burying all the pro-Ti comments? Texas instruments makes a superior calculator.
or better yet...
***** Casio, Ti FTW! - rhowell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Wow. I'm sure the US has more that its share of the one billion Casio calculators, and yet we still suck at math.
- Ladymongoose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Who bought number 1,000,000,000?"
dunno, but they should win a free calculator for being #1 billion! -
