Default Re: OT: Looking for a good physics site

Uh, I think the formula Jack gave me gives me a time, if used properly.

I have said this before, but to repeat: What rate of acceleration do I pass into the routine and/or where do I get it?

To wit: I have Formula X and Formula Z which require an acceleration number. The acceleration in the X and Z directions will determine which direction the ship will accelerate in. I'm using Formula X and Formula Z (Formula being the one Jack posted) to try to determine in which direction to accelerate. Am I using it wrong or something? Becuase there seems to be some sort of basic miscommunication.

Oh, and I'm only getting one result per axis from that formula. I have no idea how I would get two results out of that formula.
