Hay guys this my sound like a weird request but here it is. I'm taking a calculus class and our teacher wants to right a paper dealing with our major. While paint ball isn't my major (at least I haven't seen paint ball on our major lists) I was thinking calculus had to be used some where. Any help from you guys would be I also need formulas and other stuff like that to but right now I just need how it's associated (any well known formuli and such). Any help is a appreciated.

Y = My expenditures
Y = Gun + Parts + Tank + Field Fees + Registration + Hotel + Food + Paintballs + Air + Alcohol + Car Rental + Misc.
X - Y = Some negative value.

Use parametric equations... so that x is the amount of money you spend and y is the amount of friends you have outside of paintball...
x= 1/t^(1/2)
y=t
now find how quickly a particle (you) will move along the curve given time=some numer.
you need to find dy/dt and dx/dt and set up a vector diagram (or use pythagorean theorem):
Speed= ((dx/dt)^2 + (dy/dt)^2)^1/2
And that's how fast you're losing money and friends outside of paintball.Comment

possibly the nerdiest thread ever.
Anyway, you could always derive some ballistics equations from newton's laws and use painball to demonstrate them.Comment
