Suppose that the coefficient of friction between your feet and the floor, while wearing socks, is 0.250. Knowing this, you decide to get a running start and then slide across the floor.
Part A
If your speed is 3.00 when you start to slide, what distance will you slide before stopping?
Express your answer in meters.
1.84
Correct



Part B
Now, suppose that your young cousin sees you sliding and takes off her shoes so that she can slide as well (assume her socks have the same coefficient of friction as yours). Instead of getting a running start, she asks you to give her a push. So, you push her with a force of 125 over a distance of 1.00 . If her mass is 20.0 , what distance does she slide (i.e., how far does she move after the push ends)? Remember that the friction force is acting anytime that she is moving.
Express your answer in meters.

Hi, I enjoy eating Aberdeen Angus steak. I usually buy sirloin from our local butcher during the week, keep it on a shelf in the refridgerator ( not freezer) until the weekend, then cook it at the weekend.

HOWEVER we were recently at a restaurant and I was impressed by how tender their sirloin was. I mentioned this to the manager as we were leaving and he said "we always HANG their beef for at least ten days before cooking it...." (?)


So my question is, how exactly does one "hang" beef? I can find very little on this subject on the internet, and what I have found is contradictory. I imagine you'd need to have some dialogue with the butcher to determine how old the beef already is when you buy it, but at what temperature shoudl it be stored while it's "hanging"...?

Ok my dauchie mix Maggie had been in "heat" for about two months now! They say she is in heat because of her swollen back end! She has also become very aggressive towards our other dog Bud! People say they souldn't be in heat longer than 2 weeks! Its been 2 months, no joke! Is something wrong with her? I want to get her fixed and they say i can't until she is no longer in heat! Is that true? Also what are the ups and downs of getting her fixed? i want her to calm down, and be nice to our other dog like she was 2 months ago! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!

I had a miscarriage on June 23, 2005 at 14 weeks, and it was the most emotionally and physically painful experience I've ever had in my entire life. I was 36 years old at the time, was not planning on having another child, but wound up pregnant. When I m/c, I was devestated (and it's still hard to deal with at times). The doctors and pathology report never could say with any certainty why I m/c, but I know that my baby son was perfect. So it must have been something about my body that did not allow him to develop to term. Well, I found out today that I'm pregnant. I don't know how to deal with it. I want to be happy, but all I can think about is loosing this baby too. How can I stop being so full of fear and dread, and start feeling the usual excitement of pregnancy and motherhood and new baby?

I just went to cyberpower, and read the list of all the components of one of their systems, and picked out each exact component over at newegg.com and put it in my shopping cart...

The end result was the comp from cyber power cost $999 with free shipping, and all the parts from newegg cost $1,069 plus shipping

I know how to build a computer, and would like to do that, but if it's cheaper to buy a pre-built, why would I want to order the parts and build it myself? It seems like more money, more work and less warranty. Am I right on this?
