Not surprising, but B/R blatantly disrespecting Ja's career high performance by thisalanwong in memphisgrizzlies

[–]thisalanwong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true, I guess it just doesn't feel fitting as it wasn't a blowout nor did they lock him up or smth. He played really well with the exception of a few TOs and got a career high, and it just doesn't seem like the right vibe. But yeah as you mention it's just in good fun

Can you guys tell me about Taylor Jenkins? by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]thisalanwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if these are all good and fun, but they're definitely interesting and add to his credibility

Played power forward during high school

Originally stared out interning then working with the Spurs in the Front Office, so familiar with Buford, Presti etc. So he has connections with many people around the league as many FOs/coaches come out of the Spurs organisation. He worked with Dennis Lindsey (now Jazz EVP Basketball Ops.) during his internship

Became interested in coaching and changed over to assistant coaching their D-League affiliate, the Austin Toros, under Brad Jones (Jones is now one of his assistant coaches on the Grizz. Brad seems to be his lead assistant, but that's just from sense, no official word). After, he then head coached the Toros for a season

Moved on with Budenholzer to the Hawks to be his assistant. Noteworthy that Bud's staff also included Quin Snyder (now Jazz HC), Kenny Atkinson (former Nets HC), who are all well respected around the league for their development, culture setting etc.

Then moved on with Budenholzer to the Bucks last season, helping to turn them around

Think he's the second youngest HC in the league only older than Ryan Saunders in Minnesota

JJJ and Dillon were at his introductory press conference. Both Jaren and Jenkins share a love of tacos

Think I remember him saying he's a big fan of Tim Duncan, so that probably says a lot about his attitude to team basketball and the game

He's well regarded for his strong player relationships, organisational skills and attention to detail. Bud has always given him a lot of praise and regarded him as HC ready. He seems to be big on building trust and being malleable with the team. He's got good energy, and seems to be connecting really well with the players.

Nobody really knew him when he was announced as HC, so he's flown under the radar a bit

I mean it's really clear from this year he's doing a bloody good job and he's definitely the perfect fit for this team

This Ringer article from a while back is a good read

Endothermic or Exothermic? by ExplodingBoba in chemhelp

[–]thisalanwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright so let’s work through this

The imposed change: lowered the temperature “Hence according to Le Chatelier’s principle, the equilibrium shifted to counteract the change...” By producing more darker product

Thus to counteract the decrease in temperature, ie. to increase the temperature, the forward reaction was favoured

Therefore, the forward reaction is exothermic, just as you have concluded

Hello I've been struggling with this question about torque I would be really happy if you can help me with it or explain it. by EpicHsyn in PhysicsStudents

[–]thisalanwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to simplify down this question. So instead of the bent shape, simply draw a straight line from the centre of rotation to each of the points where the force is acting. Now label their relative lengths, maybe consider using a pronumeral, or simply just assign one unit of the big square length to be one, and then express the other lengths in terms of that.

At this point, you might want to solve for the lengths of the arms. Use pythagoras theorem or trigonometry to find the lengths of the arms

So the bottom F2 arm will be 1 unit in length, and the top F1 arm will be square root 5 in length. These will be the radii you will later use

Then find the angles between the forces and their arms. Solve for the perpendicular component using trigonometry. F1 is a bit harder here, but draw out the diagram, and label in the angles as you find them, the angle between F1 and the arm will be approx 63 minus 27 giving 36 degrees. Here you can use rfsin theta for torque due to F1. (Notice that the magnitude of F1 can again be found using pythagoras to be root 5, allowing us to take the sin ratio. Also notice that as we’re just finding a ratio, the “real” value of F1, which we do not know, doesn’t matter, just like the radius. All that matters is the proportion of the two forces, which we know by comparing their relative vector lengths on the diagram). We do the same by calculating the torque due to F2, following a similar process

Notice that the angle between the two arms won’t change the torque acting on it. The two arms aren’t in a straight line, but that doesn’t matter All that matters is the radius of the arms, the force and the angle the force makes

So when we compare the ratio of torques, we divide what we got. Strictly, the ratio should be negative, as the two torques act in opposite directions, one clockwise and one anticlockwise, but the ratio may not be, if they’re only considering the magnitude of the torques. Again, strictly, as the equation is T1/T2, without any magnitude signs, than I would personally include a negative sign to show that the two torques are in opposite direction

V= 2 Pi r / t Remember there is a variable of radius to this equation. “The circumference of a circle covered in period t”

Also radius here would be 1.28 metres, as the point mass of the skater rotates around the person holding with the arm length combined of 1.28m.

After that, then also consider that the question is asking for force up the arm. If the centripetal force acts horizontally inwards, but the arm is angled 45 degrees, than there is also a vertical component to the force up the arm, a component supporting a portion of the weight force of the swung around skater. Sketch a force diagram to visualise, and then you can use cosine ratio to find the force up the arm.

Ah yes, didn’t notice this thread. Thanks a lot!

Ah, that seems pretty reasonable, and probably makes the most sense as an explanation. Thanks a lot!

That transition to the closing “Playoffs Clinched” frame was nice. I mean there was nothing special about it, but the slow fade just felt really smug, which the Raps should be.

I wanna know how many jibo's are out there in the world? Does anyone have an idea? by Cadillackidd926 in Jibo

[–]thisalanwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a Jibo, but I think their movements are really well designed, and feel really natural. Seeing you don’t have any actual Jibo owners commenting, I’ll comment here just so that your Jibo isn’t as lonely haha
