Crocodile Maths Problem That Stumped Scottish Students
This problem caused an uproar on social media because it was too hard, and it brought some Scottish students to tears (it gave many mathematicians crocodile ...
... I guess I'm too stupid to comprehend what's happening with both the
Calculus solution or the Physics solution (well, I SHOULD understand
because Snell's Law was taught already but... theta-1 and theta-2's
positions are wrong plus I only learned that n1sin theta-1 = n2sin
theta-2...) Moving on...
+boilpoil The position of theta-2 is definitely wrong. Another thing you would need to know is that n1v1 = n2v2 = c, which transforms the equation familiar to you to the equation he used.
+Degenerated asdf x is the distance along the river to the point P. The equation calculates the time it takes for the crocodile to get to the zebra if it swims straight across the river to the point P, and then walks the rest, and the time varies with x. The second part of the equation ( 4(20-x) ) is the time it takes to travel the land distance, where 20-x is the distance and 4 is some arbitrary speed factor. It decreases as x increases and if x is 20 (P is at the zebra), it is 0 because no land travel is needed since the crocodile swims directly to the zebra. Does that explain it?
I am no physicist but it seems strange to me that snell's law which is
"referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two
different isotropic media" can be applied here, This would require some
thinking to be sure this is valid reasonning.
A friend of mine tried once to applied the ideal gas law to a liquid... got
a well deserved F.
+Tom Tom It has to do with Fermat's least-time principle. Light travels along the path that takes the least time. Since the constraint on the allowed motion is the same (both must travel with the least time possible), we can use Snell's law, which is a consequence of the principle, in multiple applications. Crocodile or light, it doesn't matter as long as the relevant bits (the constraints) are the same; then the principle can be taken to its logical conclusion. That's the beauty of math. Liquids don't act like ideal gases so your friend was out of luck. //hyperphysics.phystr.gsu.edu/hbase/phyopt/fermat.html
My Exam Results 2015...
I'M SORRY ABOUT THE LAG/UNSYNCED AUDIO AT THE END BUT I CBA RE-UPLOADING Where to find me: Recovery Instagram: ...
+Indie Green That's the point - this video is about my results. My schoolwork suffered MASSIVELY because of my "issues", therefore I have a right to talk about them...but I see where you're coming from and I value your opinion.
+ALL KINDZZ It's really sad how insecure you must be to say all of these things to someone you don't know. I hope you find the strength one day to be happy enough in yourself that you stop putting other people down to get a 'kick'.
+ALL KINDZZ Wow, that's such a helpful thing to say to a person who had anorexia...and hunny it's a play on words, as in laurel wreath. Slut? Explain that. Go look up the definition of a slut and then try to argue your case once you've been educated on the definition.
+Rachel Coyne oh yea, that's true. I see they also keep putting my name in there as well and just typing random letters almost make u think they're doing that intentionally
+scrount1 i swear i don't get that. my children as well as any child who's ever step foot through our doors loves this and the mother goose club but they both have tons of dislikes. maybe it's the competitors giving each other tons of dislikes or something, i don't know.....
