I'm sick of problems from school being so hypothetical. I think they should make problems that people can use in the real world. In this thread, come up with problems that you think you should be used instead of ones that books give you.

Here's mine, try to solve it... Shit just got real.

I don't think you understand the concept of pure mathematics (although I know you're talking about physics).
Personally I prefer shit without a practical application. Means you don't have to do shitty experiments, you can work everything out with logic.

If I got a degree in Woman's Studies and it cost me $20,000 and if I work at McDonalds and get an average of $9.00 a hour and get 24 hours a week. Assuming I don't get fired or kill myself how long would it take me to pay off my mistake?

This problem is not realistic at all

Raptors were burst hunting animals, high initial speed but rapid deceleration

Not to mention the insane difficulty of real life problems.

I remember modelling the trajectory of a water rocket. Spent 4 hours every week, for 5 months. Didn't even look vaguely like real life

Furthermore maybe this raptor is smart enough to get through a door. And they usually don't hunt alone

1 year, 9 months and 18 days by my count. Although I rounded up a tiny bit and assumed you work every week with no holidays or sick days. I could factor those in if you provide said data.

This is true, ok, let me rewrite it real quick, how many raptors would you say is a fair number. Also, the distance, acceleration, and velocity don't seem right, how can I fix it?

Lol it takes you 10 seconds to accelerate to full speed?
How fucking slow are you?

Assuming 1 seal per second how long would they take to make?
Assuming each one releases one joule exploding what is the power created per second?

If I got a degree in engineering and it cost me $20,000 and if I suck guys off and get an average of $9.00 per guy and suck 24 guys a week. Assuming I don't get arrested or a STD how many guys would I have to suck to pay off my mistake?

What? That much paper would be around 10% of the earths surface.

It would take a couple thousand years to make them, in the 12k range.

Around 1GJ a second too, that would destroy the earth if it went on for ten minutes.

Try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side,
from the other two 'raptors you didn't even know were there. Because Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns and he is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... a six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the the middle toe. He doesn't bother to bite your jugular like a lion, say... no no. He slashes at you here... or here... or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect.

An engineer sells his cum to his needy coworkers once per week for up to $6 a gallon, depending on the quality. He produces cum at a rate of 5 gallons a day. The quality of the cum he stores in his buckets reduces over time, causing the price of each gallon of cum to reduce at a rate of $1 a day. If over 10 gallons of cum accumulate inside the engineer, the engineer will die. How many times must the engineer cum during the week, and how much money will his coworkers pay him?
