  1. Video games by no means causes aggression and violence. Pretty much every male youth (in my experience) has owned a violent video game at one time or another. Yet, none of these people (that I know of) are aggressive/violent people in any way. In fact, the violent people I grew up with weren't exposed to violence through video games, but through broken homes, bad neighbourhoods and such. On a large scale, video might aid to a residue of violence, but if somebody acts out a violent scene or is influenced by a game then that person had something wrong with him in the first place.

  2. How many names for a hick? redneck

    What are the equivalent of chav's called in your town / city? I'm still not quite sure what a chav is, but I can assume we call them 'wiggers'

    What do you ask for when getting a ride on the back of someones bike ? Can I ride on the back of your bike?

    What are the different classes referred to e.g toffs for the upper class...toffee nosed...stuck up. snob, rich bitch, prissy boy

  3. I'm not sure which of my western Canadian terms are out of the norm, but I do know I've heard a few words that are never used in Canada..such as: bloke, lad, lass, chav, blimey, fit (when referring to whether or not an individual is attractive... it just means 'athletic' here), and 'you ok?' (meaning "how are you?").

  4. You are also bypassing the normal cooling process of sweating and blood is being pumped to the skin to release heat that can't radiate out because your in hot water. I don't know what damage this can cause but it could be similar to heatstroke. Over the long run, doing this twice a day can't be a safe practice.

     

    I figure hot water (steam) is beneficial to 'at least' skin. It allows for skin pores to open up and waste removal... which is indeed handy if you aren't a big zit and pimple fan.

  5. Efficiency = (useful energy output/energy input) x100

     

    Is that 17.5 lumens per watt a give value or an experimental value? If it's experimental then you should have a given value to compare it to. If it's a given value you need to do an experiment (somehow) to determine how many lumens per watt are actually being used.

  6. The period depends on sqrt (l/g)

     

    So' date=' as YT said, the distance to the bob, which can depend on environmental factors such as temperature, as well as the accceleration due to gravity. All else being equal, a pendulum swings more slowly on the top of a mountain, or even when the moon is overhead.[/quote']

     

    Actually, the period depends on 2 x pi x sqrt (l/g)

     

    Also, Any kind of torque will affect a pendulum, as well as movement into another plane (which means the mass at the bottom of the pendulum did not reach its maximum height as has both a vertical and a horizontal compenent.. so the time it takes to swing would be a little shorter than expected.)

     

    With that being said, I too, have a small question:

     

    Why should and angle through which the pendulum swings be no greater than 10 degrees... and what happens as the angle becomes larger?

  7. Don't try removing the space bar. That's a disaster waiting to happen. I did that once with an old keyboard and the clip underneath broke off. I tried to fix it after, but the button never was the same. All the other buttons should be fine.

  8. Hi,

     

    I'm a first year radiology student in Canada. This was a difficult field for me to go in to because I enjoy sciences of all types and limiting myself to one particular field was tough. My favourite sciences are Physics and Astronomy. In my spare time, I play hockey, compose music and look through my telescope almost every clear night.
