  1. Very good. To sum it so far:

     

    1. Each word rhymes with a digit of pi: We rhymes with three, won rhymes with one, your rhymes with four, and so on.

     

    2. Each word starts with a letter whose position in the alphabet is a digit of pi.

     

    3. This is the hardest one - I'll give you a hint. Considering the position of the letter E in the words.

     

    4. The first letter of each word has a shape similiar to the corresponding digits.

  2. Well I didn't think it would be too hard, except the calculus teacher at my school is one of the worst teachers. She gets angry when you ask her questions and she's horrible at explaining stuff. She's been known to make honors students get 70's and to top it off she's mean as implied above.

     

    Very good. In my last math course in high school last year, I had this really horrible teacher as the worst teacher ever in my history. She freaks out when students ask her questions as if she was going to have an epitedic (sp?) case. As a student in her class, I was the only one who would catch all her mistakes and made her embarrassed. As a sweet revenge, I made 93% in her class even if she was an awful teacher. Again, I'm saying that you control your destiny which is your responsibilities for your performance. Nothing else matters.

  3. But apparently the newest elements are really useless and not as important as carbon, oxygen, nigtrogen, and many others. They also are very rare and they are man-made.

  4. The sentence, "May I draw a round perimeter?" is a mnemonic for remembering the first six digits of pi: Count the number of letters in each word and you get 3.14159. Each of the following phrases is also a mnemonic for pi. Can you figure out HOW each mnemonic stands for 3.14159? Hint: Consider the spelling, sound, and shapes of the words.

     

    1. We won your fun drive sign.

    2. Circles and diameters are equally important.

    3. The easy vowels echo mathematical magnitude.

    4. Bring in your initial six questions.

     

     

    Good luck.

     

     

    Note: The world record for the most digits of pi memorized is now over 40,000 digits. The record holder used very sophisticated mnemonics to perform that feat.

  5. PHYSICS - Element 118 Debuts On the Periodic Table from Discover (January 2007) Issue.

     

    Chemists will soon have to make room on the periodic table for a new element discovered in October. Element 118, tentatively called ununoctium, is the heftiest to date - it has 118 protons and 176 neutrons, compared with 82 protons and 126 neutrons in lead - but it is also one of the shortest-lived, decaying in less than a millisecond. To whip up a batch of ununoctium, a team of Russian and American nuclear physicsts shot calcium atoms (element 20) at a target of radioactive californium (element 98) in a particle accelerator at the Joint Institue for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. Every so often, the nuclei of the two atoms would hit head on and stick, overcoming the replusive force between positively charged protons. It wasn't easy: After two months and 30,000,000,000,000,000,000 collisions, the group managed to create only three atoms of the new species. Starting in 2007, they will search for even heavier elements, some of which are predicted to live for several hours.

     

     

    Just thought you guys should know this. :cool:

  6. Bettina, you might have even gave their best Christmas present ever. Who knows. Christmas is not always about giving things to other people as a sign of your generosity or kindness. It's about rejoining of families, friends, memories and happiness in my opinion.

  7. [math]\frac{dc}{dt} = \frac{dc}{db}\frac{db}{dt}[/math]

     

    Applying [math]a = 10000\,\text{ft},\ b = 12000\,\text{ft}, \dot b = 200\,\frac{\text{ft}}{\text{sec}}[/math] yields

    [math]\frac{dc}{dt} = 200 \frac{12000}{\sqrt{10000^2+ 12000^2}} = 153.64\,\frac{\text{ft}}{\text{sec}}[/math]

     

    I'm not sure how exactly you came up with the formulae of [math]200 \frac{12000}{\sqrt{10000^2+ 12000^2}}[/math]?

  8. Do you know how to use relative motion? Suppose an observor is standing in the fort and is watching the whole scenario, a triangle will form.

     

    [math]r_A + r_{B/A} = r_B[/math] where r is the distance.

    [math]r_A = 10,000 ft[/math]

    [math]r_{B/A} \rightarrow d=vt \rightarrow 12,000ft[/math]

     

    Use Pythragroas Theroem, you get [math]15,620.5ft[/math]

     

    From the [math]r_A + r_{B/A} = r_B[/math] formulae, a new equation is formed: [math]v_A + v_{B/A} = v_B[/math], where v is the velocity.

     

    Since the airplane went at 200ft/sec, you have:

    [math]v_A + 200ft/sec = v_B[/math].

     

    I'm not sure what to do next.

     

    But if you want the derivative of [math]\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/math], it is [math]\frac{2a2b}{2 \sqrt{a^2+b^2}}[/math].

  9. Y-S, you control your destiny. You can't land the responsibility of failing the English course on your teacher. It's the student's responsibility to pass the course even if the teacher is horrible enough as it is.

  10. Suppose you have a ball that is 5 kg and it have a velocity of 10 m/s, the ball would have 250 Joules of energy.

     

    [math]KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/math]

    [math]KE=(0.5)(5)(10^2)[/math]

    [math]KE=250J[/math]

     

    But in real world, that doesn't happen due to air resistance and friction, so it would be slight less than 250 Joules.

  11. Joules is an unit measured for amount of energy.

     

    Two kind of engeries that are commonly known for novices: Kinetic and Potential energy.

     

    [math]KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/math]

    [math]PE = mg(y_2 - y_1)[/math]

     

    Both of them have the answers in the unit of Joules.

     

    Any other questions?

  12. Since the merry-go-round is a fixed conjoined matter, the whole thing go at the same angular rotational speed.

     

    For instance, I hold 2 separate strings with one longer than the other one and a ball (both same masses) is joined at each end. You hold the strings in the same hand and you spin it around above your head. What happens?

  13. How is that the derivative of [math]x^x[/math] is [math]x^x(lnx+1)[/math]??

     

    Never mind I got it.

    [math]lny = lnx^{x}[/math]

    [math]lny={x}lnx[/math]

    [math]\frac{y'}{y} = {x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} + (1)lnx[/math]

    [math]y'=y(1+lnx)[/math]

    [math]y'=x^x(1+lnx)[/math]
