I have to do a PowerPoint Presentation on how light-weight things are made to be so strong.

Basically I am supposed to talk about plastic and fiber glass.

My teacher told me that airplanes are supposed to be light weight, and many of their wings are actually made from plastic. Though plastic is light weight engineers have been able to make it strong enough so that it can be used on planes.

Also I need info on how fiber glass, despite its light weight is so strong.

Can somebody give me some information that they know or useful links of sites that provide such information? I just need to be able to explain it, in a simple manner. Please remember that I am not even in college. How are they able to make such things?

Thanks

ok, i have a 1yo male (neutered) cat. he REFUSES to go in the litter box. we have a bunch of other cats, and 2 litter boxes which are very clean. thered be no way for me to keep the other cats out of one of the litter boxes. he used the litter box for a little while...
he usually goes to the bathroom in the same place, but lately hes just been going wherever. he started out as an indoor cat then we had to let him outside because he wasnt using the box so much. now my mom is saying that if he keeps this up hes going to have to go to a shelter. he went for a checkup fairly recently, so i dont think its a uti, but could it be?
HOW DO I GET HIM TO START USING THE LITTER BOX?!

First off, I know very little about computers besides how to use them. Currently, my computer is Windows 2000. There are a lot of disadvantages to my outdated laptop. A lot of websites don't work for me and I can't get the most updated programs (ex. AIM, Windows Media Player). As far as I know, Windows XP is the most updated thing, but I don't know how to get my computer to Windows XP. Is there something I can buy and install to update my computer? I really don't have the money to buy a new laptop and would rather spend money on upgrading my perfectly fine laptop. The only problem with it is it's only Windows 2000.

I am a Christian and I know that God exists. I have not only the Bible but my faith and personal conviction that God exists. I am an educated person and can tell you there is not one single piece of scientific evidence that proves that God does not exist. In fact, things like the Laws of Physics, Genetic Code, and Formation of the Planets all point to creation by design (which means you have to have a Creator).

I have read, however, the spats of all the unbelievers who like to roam the Christian sites and would like to give them an opportunity to back up what they say. So, You say God doesn't exist, here is your chance to prove how it is impossible.

I know most of you don't, at least not often. But shouldn't you show up -- just in case?

Please include the ordered pairs for each problem and the domain and range. I need a full solution.

1) {0,1,2,3...10} twice the abscissa more than one is equal to the ordinate

2) {1,3,5,7,9} the abscissa is one third the ordinate

3) {1,2,3,..9} the abscissa is a natural number and the ordinate is a prime number

I have a big (10 ft by 16 ft) shed that needs to be moved to a spot 50 feet away. I have heard stories of Amish folk attaching handles to barns and walking them. Can you find me a live link to a first generation news story (no blogs) with photo about moving barns or houses by hand? Thanks!

Let guess. Jeff Gordon could win a race running on 7 cylinders, three tires, missing a door and a fender, coasting to a finish out of gas and people would still whine. I bet someone would still say the NASCAR lets HMS win. Am I one of the sane ones that think a lot of people have WAY too much time on their hands? No matter what he does, SOMEONE will find something to whine about. How many other fans have noticed this?
