    i'm a sophomore at notre dame studying physics with a bunch of pre-med classes thrown in. i don't want to be a doctor but i really like the chemistry and biology courses and this is the easiest way to study a lot of science at the same time.

  1. i think it'll still be an above average year, but nowhere near the level of last year. a year ago today, tropical storm gert formed in the bay of campeche..that was the 7th named storm of the season. we've only had 2 so far this year. things will likely pick up in a little while, but last year was a little crazy.
  2. i'm guessing it's just the university firewall blocking the ports or something. they'd probably do something like that, knowing them.
  3. i'd vote for him. that damned hurricane better stay south...
  4. what do you mean? i've definitely seen it done this way before, and i'm not making it up off the top of my head or anything. i'm almost completely certain that it works. look here:trajectory wikipedia if you scroll down 4/5 of the way or so, look for equation 10- it's exactly the same thing with different variables.
  5. didn't work... i've got no idea of what the hell is going on
  6. the position of a projectile divided into x and y components is: [Math] x=v_{0x} t [/math] [math] y=v_{0y} t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 [/math] solve for [math]t[/math] and plug in: [math]y= \frac{v_{0y}}{v_{0x}}x - \frac {1}{2} g (\frac{x}{v_{0x}})^2 [/math] then, you know that [math]\tan \theta_0 = \frac {v_{0y}}{v_{0x}}[/math] and the x component of the initial velocity is [math] v_{0x} = v_0 \cos \theta_0 [/math] plugging those in, you get [math] y= (\tan \theta_0)x - \frac {g}{2(v_0 \cos \theta_0)^2} x^2[/math] you can see [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math] pretty clearly like that i think hopefully this helps... first time i used latex... maybe it'll get less annoying when i get used to it
  7. can't copy for some reason, but here's what it says: looking up jersey.blackcobalt.net connecting to 69.50.242.98, port 6667 sending login information... jersey.blackcobalt.net- ***Looking up your hostname... jersey.blackcobalt.net- ***Found your hostname (cached) timeout connecting to jersey.blackcobalt.net then it tries again
  8. at the level of M.I.T., a lot seems like it's thrown to chance. i talked to an admissions guy there and he said that MIT couldn't choose the best, they had to choose from among the best.
  9. unitversities generally want multitalented, well-roundend students so they can keep or better their reputations. extracurricular stuff is incredibly important to admission. they don't generally want people who study all day and do nothing else- academic perfomance is important- probably the most important thing in admission, but it certainly isn't the only thing.
  10. that's the new orleans arena- it's pretty new- the hornets play (or used to play) there. it's also incredibly ugly- definitely not the same kind of roof- i think the superdome had a white foamish material on it... the arena has a much more metallic roof. and the walkways aren't covered, just cement bridge-paths.
  11. yeah, i tried that too- i also tried to pull a delta x out of the numerator and canceled it with the denominator, but that didn't get me anywhere either. too many damn letters. aghhh.
  12. i've seen some of the smartest, most well rounded people rejected from there... a friend of mine was valedictorian, a professional-level pianist/violinist, 1600 SAT/36 ACT, in every club/service organization imaginable, and he was rejected. the applicant pool to MIT is ridiculous- if you get in, it's like winning the lottery- just about no one is guaranteed entry. there are a lot of other good schools out there that you should look into. good luck though.
  13. how did you get that updated satellite picture?
