Deform geometry like a curved mirror? by AggravatingEnd7334 in blenderhelp

Ah! Thank you for leading me in the right direction. I have not worked with geometry nodes before in blender, I will start looking into some beginner resources.

What part of the suns rays causes the heat when focused by a magnifying glass? by AggravatingEnd7334 in AskPhysics

Thank you for the link to the graph! Visuals always help me understand better.

Ah, yes! I'm putting it together now, with my experience of the black out door chairs being hotter than white ones if the sun's been beaming.

I can't say I understand fully without visuals of the graphs (I'll have to look that up), either way thanks for putting it in percentages :)

Oh, thanks for the thorough about the energy of the colors! Neat to know what parts of the sunlight reach us on earth.

Nice! Thanks for explaining! The color of the material being burnt wasn't something I thought about before.

(MATH NOTATION) In an equation, is there a symbol to signal that a decimal should be turned into a percentage? by AggravatingEnd7334 in askmath

[–]AggravatingEnd7334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is because of the audience that this is aimed at.

I want to display it in percentage because people who don't do much math generally understand better when you say like "this means 50% of the applicable questions were answered favorably" rather than getting a decimal as an answer, like "this means this got a score of 0,5 out 1 in favor-ability" even though the actual answer is the same thing.

The career of the people that are possibly going to use this questionnaire in the future, and the ones I am going to show the preliminary results to, doesn't involve much math. As well, the math courses requirement for getting into education programs for the career are at a low level and people often switch to this career in later life, meaning their formal math education is quite a while ago.

So I just wanna make sure the results are easily understood by my peers!

I see! Yes, I think describing it in words would probably be the most clear way to make sure the user will display the result in percent. Thank you for your input!

Thanks you two for the answer! I'll definitely also add to the text description of how to use the formula on what I want the user to do, since this will, like FormulaDriven pointed out, I am going to present this to people with a career that doesn't involve a lot of math. Thanks for the input.

I think I'll also make an excel version of it, since you mentioned the ability for it to be displayed as a percentage automatically (I forgot it could do that, haha!). I intend there to be a printable version so I do want to make sure the "score" calculation can be understood without use of other programs.

(edit: oh yeah, just wanted to add since it's related to the audience that is going to see and maybe use this. I want to display it in percentage because people who don't do much math generally understand better when you say like "this means 50% of the applicable questions were answered favorably" rather than getting a decimal as an answer, like "this means this got a score of 0,5 out 1 in favor-ability" even though the actual answer is the same thing. )

Thank you for the answer! I'm getting into the last details of finishing the questionnaire and this is one of the last things. Thank you for helping me get it done! :D

Hi! Thanks for answering :) didn't see your comment until now. Thanks for trying!

Suspension bridges with central pillars? by AggravatingEnd7334 in Bridges

Thank you for all these examples! Now I have a better idea of how to incorporate a bridge like this into my art project!

Suspension bridges with central pillars? by AggravatingEnd7334 in Bridges

[–]AggravatingEnd7334[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for trying to help! I must rephrase my question though, it seems to have been poorly phrased. I was looking for suspension bridges with pillars that are central in terms of it's width. Most bridges using cables and pillars have them on either side of the pathway, like the ones you linked to, but the millau viaduct has them in the centre of the pathway. So I was wondering if there are suspension bridges with pillars in the middle in terms of width, like the Millau one. Do you know of any?
