A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attepmt to jump accross a river on a motorcycle. The takeoff ramp was inclined at 53 degrees, the river was 4 meters wide, and the far bank was 15 meters lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 meters below the ramp. Ignore air resistance.
a.) What should his speed have been at the top of the ramp to have just made it to the edge of the far bank?
b.) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

My boyfriend and i have been together for 9 months and i found out right at the beginning that he was still telling his ex that he loved her and that i was just something he was using to get over her (he dumped her). She lives in Mexico and so he was ringing her and emailing her and i overheard conversations and i found emails. He told me that he would stop and the only reason he was doing it was to keep her happy he did it several times after this each time i found out and then i told him that the next time i find something he's gone. I haven't found anything but i'm still suspicious. He still has contact with her cos he owes her money. She also sends me horrible emails regularily and he tells meto ignore them but when i say that i am going to email her back telling her what i think of her he tells me that i'm out of order and i'm being unfair to her he doesn't seem to think that she is being unfair and out of order to me by doing it in the first place! What should i do?

i had a crush on a classmate when we were in gr 6.everybody knows it but i duno if he had a crush on me too.when we were in highschool i learned that he already migrated in the US. after 10 years, he saw me on friendster and sent me a message.we exchanged emails and talked on the messenger constantly since then.what amazes me is that he remembers every single detail during our elementary years like he's been to our house, he knows my dad, that i was fond of hitting him on his shoulders..and others stuffs. he also kept on teasing me that my sisters said i had a crush on him (which i always deny). one day, he asked me why i'm still shy at him.he encourages me to say anything to him.i was speechless bec of that.we continued talking to each other but i'm beginning to feel something for him.actually, we dont chat for long period of time, he just makes it a point that he greets me everyday.

It would be great if it is sold by an online musical instrument store. it is OK if the instrument is only available at a local store. Thank you very much.
