do ya'll know the scientific classification for seaweed

hey guys, i couldn't figure out this question. Can anyone help me do this question. - 2 persons are skiing down the frictionless hill. The height of the hill is 12m. Calculate the velocity (m/s) at the end of the hill (assume the initial velocity is 0m/s) - I think it has something to do with Kinetic Energy. But, i don't know where to start from. I need the answer for Monday. So, if anyone can solve this problem, I would be thankful.

...should you choose to accept it (which you do), is to go to http://www.ishiphop.com and check it in all the browsers you have installed. What I'm most interested in is retention of products in the wish list between browser sessions, and the existence of a 10-digit reference number on the shopping cart page. Bear in mind sessions and cookies cannot be shared between different browsers. I have tested it in IE, NS, Opera and Mozilla and LuTze has tested in Konqueror, but I found a load of entries in the wish list table that had no reference numbers so something may be off slightly....

I've noticed a lot of you use the default icons I uploaded, here's how to make your own if you want: Find an image you like! Remember, the subject of the image should be pretty large, since the whole picture needs to be scaled down. Open your image in an image processor (besides MS Paint) Scale it down to 100 x 100 or less. The dimensions do not have to be equal, but they both have to be less than 80 pixels Click on "usercp" then click edit options and scroll down to "Avatar", click 'change avatar' Scroll down to "You can upload an avatar from your computer:" and click browse. Find your scaled down image and press "Submit modifications" If you nee…

a movie where a chemical gas of some sort leaks into the air and wipes out a small town/or school. no one dies, they're all knocked unconscious from the chemical. after a few hours, they awake and suffer extreme memory loss(like they don't even know who they are)... okay, do you find this cheezy? incredibly unbelievable? possible? also, since these are SCIENCE forms, can anyone help me out with a name for the chemical? is there such thing? could this happen in real life? I'd totally appreciate feedback, I'm currently writing the script. Thanks

I know faf has this title on his username. I was wondering though; isn't this ironic? I mean: Both have to do with not accepting something; so what does that make them in conjunction with each other?

Has anyone seen the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding?" I watch it at least twice a week and laugh hysterically everytime. I find it terribly amusing. Perhaps it is because of the family dynamics remind me of my best friends family (Russian Jews). Especially the quilt. When he saw it he said "Hm. I thought just my mother was like that." Bill

I really don't look like Albert, so I would like to upload my own avitar. How can this be accomplished? Thanks Bill:confused:

i need the oppinion on this subject. if you had the chance to be cloned, would you take it or let it slip?

Hey guys, What would you suggest in this situation ??? 1) If astronomers detect a planet-killing asteroid right before it hits Earth, do you want to know? - Yes, I would like to be able to prepare for the end. - No, I would rather enjoy the last minutes without knowing.

I am in the process of gathering materials for my next book. I am seeking a new Graphics person with Artistic abilities for the design of the cover. This is an excellent opportunity for a new/young/burdgeoing artist to be published. If you are interested in more details, please contact me. Thanks; Bill

So I go to login to my windows XP account this morning and the userdata file is corrupt. unfortunatly, i made the mistake of putting all my sensitive and important data on my desktop which is now corrupt and unretrievable. I had a project on there I've been working on for over a year. gone. I suppose thats what I get for not backing up.

Hey guys, i just wanted to know if there is life on Mars. Is it really true that aliens exist ??? If there are aliens on Mars, then, will they come to dominate Earth ??? Is there any evidence of this ???

Hey guys/gals[?] hahaa Anyways, I've been assigned to do a "Chemistry Career Exploration" project, and I've chosen to research being a Chemistry Prof. To continue, there are 6 areas to address: 1. Education (needed to become a teacher) 2. Job (What needs to be done) 3. Salary (Money made) 4. Work Site (Where its going to be) 5. Related Experiences (What needs to be req'd beforehand) 6. Advancement (Promotions, etc.) If you guys have any information on the aforementioned areas, it would be of great help! Thanks.

Do you know of any scientific fields, research and theory available on the area of predicting the future. Predicting The Future Forces and Factors Take a card, spin it into the air. The foce applied to the spin may cause it to spin 10 times before gravity causes the card to hit the ground and stop. As the card started face up as that is how I left the card on a table. The card will land face up. I apply more force just enough to spin it 11 times in the air before gravity will cause it to hit the ground the card lands face down. I try it again then a gust of win comes alond acting on the spinning card causeing a force of 11 spins I appieed to the card to only s…

zeo i need you to visit this site and go to the general discussion forum, please register man, and post some stuff about life and our true purpose. yes this is me marquise t. look for the thread called, "ZEO IS COMING.". and post some replies.

Are there any jobs (that have a good pay) in the field of physics? I plan on getting a double PhD in theoretical physics and computer or electrical engineering. Would these degrees be profitable?

Well that was certainly annoying. Mod signups here.

Are they among us or in caves? Why do they exist? What causes them,to wanna isolate themselves from the world? Do they have shells lol? I myself know a Hermit. he never picks up the phone when he gets calls or, owns cell phone strange? Yet he is richer than all of us in this site combined.

I upgraded the forum, if you find any errors let us know. thx

Ok, here what I want to: get as much gain as possible (at least 20dB) on a 1900MHz signal. How might I accomplish there? Could I use a type of satellite dish, and more important where could I get it. Where can I get giant antennas with gains like that? Size of the antenna or dish isn't important, but cost is, let's keep it around $150 This is for my cell phone... here in the US it's on GSM1900 band, and since the US is always behind national standards, the coverage sucks. Here in miami, the coverage is excellent, but I frequently travel 50-100 miles from the nearest cell phone tower, so I'm looking to boost the signal by as much as possible with the budget…

Does Music make who we are? Is music thrapy? Does it make us do things? what would life be withought music?

Well I really f'ed things up this time with my gf. I bought a ring over the internet. It looked great, no problems, recieved just fine. However my gf wore it to bed and the next day she had a dark band underneath her ring. Like it stained her finger. She is so pissed and is accusing me of buying her a cheap ring. Not to mention I got a double wammy because I bought it over the internet and that screams "no effort". Anyway, the ring was advertised as Sterling Silver. I read that some staining might occur because of the small copper content. However she has a few other rings I have given her and they are all fine, but I'm not sure what they are made of. So these are my ques…
