Math Problem: Want me to take you seriously?

I heard the people of Offtopic love solving basic math problems. Here's one that a fellow b.net user gave me. It's literally a 10th grade physics problem (or so I'm told, I haven't studied shit like this in years, but I was still able to solve it pretty quickly). Anyways, what does this question have to do with me? If you kids can solve it (showing full work, of course), then I might actually show you some respect in our next debate/take you seriously. Even if you don't want that, at least try to show off your intelligence. Here it is: A body at rest slides with negligible friction from point A (has height h1+h2) down a smooth curved ramp. The end of the ramp is horizontal at point B (has height h1). The body then falls from point B to the ground. Show that the body will land at a distance d from point O (ground level and aligned with point B). Put your answer in terms of d, h1, and h2. PM me your work, but post just the answer on this thread. Purse, out.

  • To be honest I remember doing stuff like this in my year 11 physics class but for the life of me I'm too incompetent to solve it.

    • Simple. h1 has d and h2 takes it in. h1=human 1 h2=human 2 d=human 1's D Then a baby is made. That was easy.

CoVA = cost of visitor acquisition CoLA = cost of lead acquisition CoCA = cost of customer acquisition Your marketing team spends $1,000 on a PPC (pay-per click) campaign over the course of 4 months and 6 days and brings in 500 visitors. At this point, what is your CoVA? If 5% of those website visitors convert into a lead, then what is your CoLA? If 10% of those leads actually buy something from your store, what is your CoCA? How much does it cost your marketing team to bring in one new customer? This one is really easy.

              • If you're so content in thinking that you're smarter then everyone here, why not just leave instead of puffing out your chest like the mighty silver back? Which you are not, btw.

              • Seeing as I've not taken Physics and am not a math major, I'm not even gunna bother with this "question". But, if you'd like an ambiguous question on my field of study, let me know. I'll be sure to stump you and show how moronic you really are.

                  Well I mean what you're basically describing is some body on a ramp with height "h2" moving a distance down the ramp of d and finishing at a height of point h1. As you said there is no friction so there is no opposing force. The force downward would be the mass of the object X the acceleration and in this case it's just assumed that it's on earth so use g times the sin of the angle of the ramp. Anyway. You really never said the ground had friction so using the laws of the conversation of energy the body would move in a straight line once reaching the distance d and continue until hitting another object. Overall this "problem" is terrible. There isn't anything of substance here beyond understanding what it's asking you to picture.
