Need help with Pysch HW... Only takes a few minutes.

I could pick out developmental issues for children ages 1-6.. but developmental issues for people 20-30? More like sociological and economic issues.

Dealing with career choices. Dealing with living and schooling costs. Trying to balance school/work/play, or find the best possible ration of the three.
For people my age who aren't academics and aren't enamored in getting a PhD in their field, their issues may consist more of settling down, finding the right person to be with, starting a family, dealing with being a new family, etc.

If you are like some of the people I went to high school with who are now in their mid 20's, their sole concerns in life are

-living in the same old town, doing jack s***.
-partying with people of similar aspirations (none).
-going to community college classes just often enough to stay enrolled, but not learn anything.

LAZY COLLEGE KIDS DOING HOMEWORK VIA A WEB SURVEY. sigh.

was this sent off your blackberry while texting from the library or dorm room?

I'm sure you could google your answer and still get a passing grade.

DOS computers didn't come with a spell checker. I dealt with TRS-80's and IBM's running at 4.77 mhz and EGA or VGA graphics..............google that dough boy......yeah we had to do school work the old fashion way, we earned it..........

Nope it was sent off my laptop from my apartment whilst doing calculus homework... Yes I could have googled it... Figured I would get more accurate answers here...

[Rusty Heap]

The derivative of X squared is 2 X

ta dum.




Now for 2 pages worth of equations, is drop a rock off a bridge over a river and 8 seconds you hear the splash.

How high is the bridge. dual differentials are a beatch.

Gravity down, speed of sound up.

I'll let you work the answer out,


grins.

We haven't gotten that far yet... Its a pretty basic calc class...

[nostatic]

I think if you had filled out at least some of the answers and asked for other ideas you might have gotten a warmer response. For instance, if you had the original post and had answers for 1 and 2 for each category and asked, "hey do you guys have any other good ones?" I bet people would have offered up something and you would have gotten a number of interesting and real responses. As it stands now, it looks like you just typed the blank assignment in and asked us to do your work for you.

[porsche4life]

I did have some ideas but I was curious to see what you all would say...

[Rusty Heap]

so why are you on the Pelican boards posting fluff for the last 15 minutes when you're supposed to be doing calc homework?


Shotgun a can of Schmidt beer yet tonight?

So this is a social experiment?

We love those...

Who's paying for the laptop/apartment/college?

40-50: Supporting childrens Internet/texting/gaming habits. Sending them off to college so we can "hit it" (or "whack it" for you single dads) in private on occasion.

[porsche4life]

My folks paid for the laptop... Rent is paid out of what I made over the last several summers... Other people are paying for my college... My grades got me a full ride...

Finished the calc a while back...

I have a 9 year old. Here are a couple observations:

In the 5-10 year range: There are alot of changes emotionally and mentally during this time. For most, this is the first time they are in a school setting. I don't mean preschool. I mean sitting in a desk. Turning in school work, etc. That can be exhausting and frustrating even for the smartest of children.

Children in this age range also start to break away from their parents. Their personalities really start to come out. They develop distinct likes and dislikes. Remember this is the age range where most people are introduced to sports, music, etc. In this age range kids start to worry about how their peers see them.

In this age kids start to pick up on things more quickly and understand right and wrong. Younger kids know things are wrong because they will be punished but in the 5-10 yr range they understand why they shouldn't do it (ie. they can be hurt, it hurts someone else, etc.)

Hope this is what you're looking for.

[porsche4life]

Thanks Stephanie, That is an age range I was going to have trouble with.

[Dueller]

OK. I'll try to help you out, Kid...errrr....I mean, Sid

5-10: Separation from parent issues (school), socialization outside familly, physical body changes (growth spurts)

You didn't have it listed, but 10-15: Puberty, growth spurts, adolescence, sexual awakening,

15-20: Independence/rebellion against parental authority, sexual activity, exposure to alternative lifestyle inconsistent with rearing (drugs, promiscuity), spiritual conflicts.

20-30: Mating choices; career choices; who am I gonna fuch tonite

30-40: WTF did I marry HER? WTF does she want a divorce? How the fuch am I gonna pay my child support? Who am I gonna fuch toonite....oh wait its my weekend with the kids.

40-50: Physical changes: menopause/Peri-menopause, erectile dysfunction issues (so I've heard...wouldn't know personally...lol), decreased libido, bveginning of physical decline such as eye sight/hearing/physical endurance declining . Mid-life crisis in many men (reliving youth...buyin red 911's), career changes. Increased stress over work responsibilities---at peak earning capacity but concern over being able to maintaiin at certain levels of work performance

50-60: Further physical decline; empty nest syndrome

60-70: adjusting to retirement; onset of early signs of dementia; will Viagara keep me from rolling out of my hospital bed? Fear of loss of spouse/mate; where did I park my car? wait....do I have a car?

70-80: Who is this old woman sleeping in my bed? Fear of becomming dependent/loss of independence due to physical/mental decline. Senility/dementia.

[PorscheGAL]

Jim left out the 30-40 so I'll bite. That's my age group:

Getting married or staying married

Having/raising kids

Careers: I have alot of friends reevaluating career choice in this age range. They chose careers in early 20's. They have now been doing it for 10 yrs and now they try to figure out if they can do this til retirement or switch things up.

Average American does not start saving for retirement until this age group.

well, all I have is pencil and paper... but dual differentials this is not. Just newton and algebra..

taking sound to be 340 m/s at sea level.
x=340*t2
x=(1/2)(9.81)(t1)^2
t1+t2=8
solve for x
x= 257 meters.

not quite 2 pages of differential equations to figure that one out. that's as complex as it can get unless you wanna give me a drag coefficient, frontal area of the rock, and air fluid density and viscosity.

Thats the engineers response... The Pharmacy students response... Ask an engineer....
