Ok so I have like 8 problem sets to do. I got a 100% on all of them (yay me!) but this one is killing me.



I don't understand what they are asking.
Could anyone please explain to me? -_-

I think I know what to do, but either mastering physics is being gay or idk..

Should I attempt to help and possibly confuse you more, or should we wait for Micronesia...

So, U=.5*k*x^2
If you double the displacement x, you get 2^2 or 4 times as much energy stored (4Uo)

If you half the displacement x, you get (1/2)^4 time as much energy stored (Uo/4)

If you want to double the energy, then you say

2 = x^2

so x needs to be sqrt(2)'d (xo*sqrt(2))

Ok good, I did put 4Uo before (for the first one)
And I put Uo/4 for the second one.

This p.o.s tells me:

4Uo 2.78 The correct answer does not depend on the variable: U_0.

Its asking for the ratio. Just drop the Uo and it seems like it should accept it. Notice the fraction before the answer box?

Though IMO if it can't take a Uo, whoever wrote the thing needs to learn to parse inputs better.

Mastering physics is the best online homework type thing I've come across so far. It recognizes answers within 2%, which is REALLY helpful, considering other courses I have do this stupid "post it in exactly this way/method or else you get it WRONG" shit.

Well, since your problem is "this image has been moved or deleted", I guess the obvious solution is to reupload.

Hope that helped!

Didn't read anything. I just wanted to say:

Yes, Mastering Physics sucks. A complete emphasis on the final answer and not the solution in its entirety.

How would you design an Internet physics education system then?
