The only preferences I have in girls are: 1) The are good looking. 2) They are an annoying b****. 3) They don't secretly have a penis. 4) They aren't fat. Other than that I'm down with everything. Also with the exception of number three, there are exceptions to those rules. Such as incredible hotness can override rule number 2 for a while or a large quantity of alcohol can lower the standards of number 4.

I am not quite sure what equation you are talking of. The centripetal force is equal to: [math] F=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}[/math] I guess you could express force in terms of the number of "g's" the object is feeling in which case: [math] \frac{F}{g}=\left(\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\right)\left(\frac{1}{g}\right)[/math] In that case the g is simply there to express the force as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity.

As I am only in 12th grade myself I could not give you a good way to measure your ability. You seem to have a passion for the sciences, and I would say in high school that is equally if not more important than ability. If you really want to see how you rank with some of the top students in the country. I would make sure to take a challenging curriculum with some AP courses, or their equivalent. You could also try competing in national and local competitions such as the Chemistry Olympiad, Physics Olympiad, or an one of the numerous math contests out their. As for were to go to learn some physics. I would go to the local library and see if they had a physics textbook which you could go through. There is also this website which someone else posted here a while back. It might be of some use.

That's what I am doing, and it works. As I said I was hoping the problem was meant to be an easy trick one. Thanks again for the help.

Like all forces the force of gravity has a equal and opposite reactive force. The force the Earth exerts on an object is the same the force the object exerts on the Earth. The Earth is attracted to the smaller object. However since the Earth is so big the acceleration of the Earth towards the small object is very small.

I had a feeling that my solution was incorrect. However, before I spent the time to do it the longer way, I figured I would see if the easy way was correct. Thanks for the help guys.

Here is a question from my physic's problem set. I was wondering if my solution is correct. Question: How much work will Madison have to do to push DJ up a 22 degree ramp that is 6m long. DJ has a mass of 77.2 kg and a coefficient of friction is .29. First assume that she pushes at a constant velocity then solve again for an acceleration of 1m/s/s. My solution is that work is equal to the change in energy. [math]w=\Delta E[/math] At the beginning of the hill there is no kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy. At the top of the hill all the energy is gravitational potential energy so the change in energy is: [math]\Delta E=mg\Delta y[/math] I am going to assume that the bottom of the hill represents a initial height of 0m. The height at the top of hill is equal to: [math] height = side opposite= hypotenuse(Sin(\theta ) [/math] [math] height= 6(Sin(22^{o})=2.248m[/math] Then the work done is: [math] w=(77.2)(9.8)(2.248)=1700.5 J[/math] Since the height is the same for both situations the change is energy is the same in both, and thus the work done is the same in both situations. I was just wondering if these calculations were correct.

If a country is advanced enough to offer abortions, then it can probably produce condoms just as, if not easier.

I would be against this use of abortion just as much as I would be against killing baby girls to meet child restrictions. As I said in my opinion I view abortion to be wrong under virtually all circumstances. If there were such food shortages in a country I would hope that the adults would do the responsible thing, and take proper percations against bring a child into the world they know they cannot raise. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged I have a feeling that the healthcare reform will not pass under any circumstances. All the republicans have to do is string this out for another two to three months, and then mid-term election season begins. This will mean that many congressperson who is considering voting in favor of the bill will be under great pressure from their opponent as they seek to be reelected. Also if they can hit another vacation then their might be another tea party resurgance which would just bog down things more.

Although I a personally vehimentally against abortions. I feel that the subject comes to rest to much on a person's own subjective interpratation of when life begins. Thus, I feel that I cannot force others to not have abortions simply based on my beliefs. However, as there is no consensus on the issue I do not really feel that it is right for the federal government to take sides on the issue, and so was quite happy that the Stupak Amendment was accepted. Although it was accepted in the House bill there are rumblings that Nancy Pelosi, the devot Roman Catholic that she is, will make sure that the Stupak Amendment is removed in confrenece commitee.

[math]\frac{}{}[/math]So you have: [math]x=\frac{y+4}{y-3}[/math] [math]x(y-3)=(y+4)=xy-3x[/math] Try to isolate all the y's on one side of the equation (Hint distribute the x). Once you have only terms containing y on one side factor something out. Then simply move the x over by dividing.

You are correct in that: [math]m_{b}=m_{o}\left(1-\frac{p_{f}}{p_{o}}\right)[/math] However your calculation of density is incorrect. According to your calculations your density has the units of [math] \frac{kg^{2}}{m^{2}s^{2}}[/math] which is not right. Unless you have a volume for the immersed solid there is not enough information to do this question.

The equation you have is very similar to the definition of a derivative at point a: [math] f'(x)=Lim_{x\rightarrow a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}[/math] So if you can get rid of the cube roots you can just evaluate the derivative. To do this I would try and rationalize the denominator. This will give you: [math]\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a} \bullet (blah) [/math] Factor the blah out and then evaluate the function. I have not finished the solution yet, but this is the approach which I would take.

Not gonna lie I am not a fan of the current health care bill, although the passage of the Stopak Amendment did make it somewhat more appealing. However, there are rumblings that Pelosi will cut this from the bill once the bill makes it to a conference commit. I also think that the bill that is going to be voted on by both the House and the Senate will look substantially different from what both bills currently are.

A republican was actually asked about this incident this morning and said that the measure the representative asked to introduce required unanimous consent, and that his colleague was simply objecting the the motion. However, even if that was the case it was still in bad form to yell it over and over again. Also just to be nit picky this was from the US House of Representatives, not the senate.

I have never heard the explanation of this trick being that women have stronger spleens. The two physics teachers that I have have demonstrated this to the my class. According to them the trick relies on the fact that women have a lower center of mass due to there anatomy, specifically their large pelvic region. While most men have a large chest raising their center of gravity. The lower center of gravity in women allows them to be more balance and to accomplish this task. So in part the theory that women can do this because they can have babies is correct because it is their larger pelvic region, evolved for the passage of a baby, which helps lower their center of gravity and allows them to pick up the chair. I apologize for the lack of references the only reliable one which I could find was a USA Today experiment which showed the difference in the center of gravity of men and women. As I said this is the explanation my physic's teachers have given.

I do not think that The Daily Show, or The Colbert Report for that matter, are news programs. I feel that they are more commentaries. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert both give their own spin on the stories they pick to report on and so I wouldn't call it news. That being said they do occasionally do incredibly good interviews. The one that comes to my mind is Jon Stewart's interview with Mike Huckabee over abortion. No matter if they are news programs or not they are amazingly funny, and a good way to end my day.

I assume you mean thalidomide, so you hit the nail on the head. So its your turn.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, chocolate can have up to 60 insect fragments per 100 grams and up to one rodent's hair per 100 grams. Here is the FDA Defect Levels Handbook. Although I do not suggest reading it if you are eating or plan on eating today.

This thread was really fun while it was going so lets see if we can revive it. So here is my riddle: If you take me I will ease your stomach, but don't look into the mirror or you may see an extra limb.

There is no job called an applied mathematician, at least as far as I know. An degree that is called Applied (Insert Subject Here) is basically a degree that focuses taking a subject and using it in real life. So an applied mathematician might work in a number of fields. For instance an applied mathematician might do work in economics, biology, or physics. While a pure mathematician would probably spend most of their time working on research into mathematics. The best example I can give is not of a mathematician, but a friend of mine who has a PhD. in applied physics. Instead of trying to isolate this particle or unify this force, he works to use his physics knowledge to solve everyday problems. Like using the physics of nanoparticles to benefit the medical field.

Personally I agree with the decision to drop the atomic bomb. In war their are bound to be casualties both civilian and military. I view Truman's decision to be between authorizing the use of a new weapon which although highly destructive had the possibility of ending the war and saving American lives or continuing the war and having Americans die. I feel that as the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces Truman had the duty to protect his soldiers. So if the Atomic bomb had even the slightest chance of saving an American life it was Truman's duty to do it. Also I am not sure if this was mentioned, but on July 26, 1945 the allied forces issued the Potsdam Declaration to Japan. In this declaration the allies called for Japan to end the war or, "The might that now converges on Japan is immeasurably greater than that which, when applied to the resisting Nazis, necessarily laid waste to the lands, the industry and the method of life of the whole German people. The full application of our military power, backed by our resolve, will mean the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitably the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland...We call upon the government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction. " Interestingly, the Potsdam declaration was given ten days after the explosion of the first nuclear weapon. So maybe the allies gave Japan a warning.

I feel that everything with in reason should be done to save him regardless of his economic circumstances or how the injury occurred. However, I do not think that it should be society's duty to help in rebuild his life. It would be society's duty to save him. However, it would not be their duty to pay for the plastic surgery to make his face somewhat normal again.

There are many jobs that require mathematics, ranging throughout many different fields. Here is a CNN article which touches on what they consider to be the top 10.

If the slope of the tangent and the slope of the derivative are the same thing then you are looking for when the derivative equals -1. If I where you I would rewrite the equation as follows: [math]\frac{1}{(x-1)}=(x-1)^{-1}[/math] and then just solve it using the chain rule once you have the derivative remember a few things like: [math]\frac{dy}{dx}=m[/math] [math]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/math] So once you know when the derivative is equal to -1 you already have m and x. So all you need to know is what y is at the x points you find.
