| Apr 17, 2015 at 18:46 | comment | added | Jim | Conceptual or mathematical, "check-my-work" is off-topic and not accepted. The difference is that you can ask one with a conceptual difficulty in another way that is acceptable. But if asked as check-my-work, it's going to be treated that way. And being a radical change in meaning, we can't edit the question to make it acceptable, only you can | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 16:34 | comment | added | RE60K | what i was trying to tell everyone form the start "conceptual mistake=missing equation=regarding centripetal/fugal force" not a mathematical one. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 16:29 | comment | added | Jim | Then it probably could have been reworked into a form that is acceptable. I stand by my statement that "check my work" is unacceptable in all forms, but if your problem was a conceptual one, it should have been possible to ask it without the "check my work" overtones | |

| Apr 17, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | Jim | @ADG Actually, there is a Physics Overflow (not affiliated with the SE network). It was started by ex members of this site that thought what we do now is still too far in catering to non-physicists. But Math.SE is a special case. They do math problems; that's their raison d'etre. So the help students solve homework problems that are all math. If a student has a homework problem that is all physics concepts, you'll find us willing to help. They do math, we do physics. They help with math, we help with physics. If the question is "check my work", it's probably math, not physics | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 15:32 | comment | added | RE60K | maybe someone didn't gave such an explanation; on Math-SE people help students, and on Math-Overflow people ask research level questions, but here this (PhySE) is the Overflow and there's no (Phy-Overflow).Anyways I did just misunderstood, if it's this way then this site is maybe not for me since I am only a student. | |
