A 4000 kg jet touches down at 240 km/h on the deck of an aircraft carrier, and immediately deploys a parachute to slow itself down. If the plane comes to a stop in 155 m, what is the average force of air on the parachute? Assume the parachute provides essentially all the stopping force.

My boyfriend and I broke up almost a month ago. He still talks to me every day, we see each other, other than going to work and to the gym the only person he he hangs out with is me. We have a lot of things that are joined, such as our phone bill, a gym membership, keys to each other's cars, and just the other day I saw my pictures are still in his wallet. And I found out my pictures are still up in his room. He still calls me by my nicknames he gave me, he calls me sunshine, and last night he called me sweetie. He broke up with me, he said he needed "me" time. But he initiates every conversation. He's privately called numbers I have talked to, to see who they were. And he's logged into some of my accounts so I have changed the passwords. I know he's not talking to anyone, and when we went out this past week he paid for my meal. I have a daughter, who is not his, and he still has toys, her car seat, and a stroller in his truck that he hasn't taken out. I'm confused! Any advice?

sad pathetic losers who have more interest in other peoples lives than in your own lives! Jesus leave them alone i hope one day you lot are caught up in the media and have the world hate you!

You yes you! reading this now really dont know all the facts you probably dont know hardly any of them!!! So before you pass judgement on them think before you act. People keep saying o take the twins away from them. Who are you to say that, are you a proffessional within the british child care system. I bet you are not. your just know all idiots who have an opinion on everything that does not concern you!

If your really that concerned about young children. Why dont you get you wallets out and donate some money to childline (NSPCC) that would help children not standing there voicing your media influenced opinions on Maddies parents!
Who agree's!
O for all you out there who really care that are just not biching heres the link to donate some cash to help a child!

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WEEKLY CLAIMS REPORT

SEASONALLY ADJUSTED DATA

In the week ending Sept. 1, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 318,000, a decrease of 19,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 337,000. The 4-week moving average was 325,750, an increase of 500 from the previous week's revised average of 325,250.


Roughly 300,000 each week are filling and that means about 1.2 million people losing jobs compared to the 24,000 created it seems like the economy is really in the dumper these days despite everything cons try to say about it .

I am looking for sone of the slightly less popular bands and songs, so please don't list the really obvious eg: Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Beck, Alanis Morissette, etc because I already have those. Thanks!!

For those who know, I was contemplating leaving Islam. But I wasn't really, I think I said all of that in a very weak moment, and my human nature took better judgment of me. A lot of people said, tell your friends and family to support you, I have neither, so sometimes having to support myself isn't enough. Within the last month I lost my husband, Yesturday I lost my mother, today my friend said she is leaving forever. so basically i'm even more alone than I was.

Can you forgive me for saying all those things? Those who know me, know I would never doubt or leave Islam. It was as if I was a whole new person yesturday.

I am still very upset, lost and alone, But I hope inshallah Allah forgives me as well as everyone here.

Will you please keep me in your prayers?

My granny taught me to eat with one hand under the table, bringing the other up only to cut food.
