1. During the Winter Olympics at calgary in 1994. Dan Jansen of the United States skated 5.00 x 10^2 m in 35.76 s. Suppose it takes Jansen 4.00 s to increase his speed from zero to his maximum speed, which is 10.0% greater than his average speed during the whole run. Calculate the magnitude of Jansen's average acceleration during the first 4.00s.
2. The winding cages in mine shafts are used to move workers in and out of the mines. These cages move much faster than any commercial elevators. In one South African mine, speeds of up to 65.0 km/h are attained. The mine has a depth of 2072 m. Suppose two cages start their downward journey at the same moment. The first cage quickly attains the maximum speed ( an unrealistic situation) then proceeds to descend uniformly at that speed all the way to the bottom. The second cage starts at rest and then increases its speed with constant acceleration of 4.00 x 10^-2 m/s/s. Which cage will reach the bottom first, and how long will it take?

My two main characters, Ethan and Olivia, have a time machine. They need to go to either the future or the past to prove that the machine works. They also need to get in some sort of trouble, preferably the kind of trouble that strengthens their bond and even makes them have to get closer physically to add to the romantic tension.

Unfortunately I can't think of a thing. Help!

I have found that sometimes certain people that I don't even know at theatre auditions ask which song I am going to sing. I think it is very nosy due to the fact that it is often out of "checking out the competition" and sometimes trying to find out what songs are being used incase they want to steal the idea. It stresses me out and and I don't know what to say because I don't want to be rude - also, even saying "I don't want to talk about it" seems rude and obvious. Is there a good way out of this without having to answer the question?

Yes, your politicians and the corporations are making major cash on this. Yes, the war is for oil. (Which war hasn't been for resources or US interest?) But more deeply, we messed Iraq up, promising Iraqis liberation and a better way of life. (Again) Which of you - especially those of you who've been there - think abandoning them to a bloodbath is what right looks like? If our dead friends could speak, would they appreciate the political blather that uses their names as an excuse to further their careers, or would they want their deaths to back up the promise we made?

I just had an interview at staples, one of the questions was what de-motivates you, and I stupidly said "Things I am not interested in", I should have said "being un-organized", do you think i still have a chance with the job, the rest of the interview went great.

What is your party affiliation?

What was the party of the president when you graduated high school(or during the end of your high school years if graduation cuts too close to an election year)?

I have this semi-theory that most people are the opposite party of the one that was in power when they were in high school because of rebellion. I don't think the rebellion is on purpose but I think in the back of our minds we don't like the way the world is when any of us hit our late teens and unconsciously blame our president and their party.

It seems disheartening that humans have not evolved beyond the pack mentality of killing one another over land, opinions, beliefs or ideas. We kill each other over ownership of land that really doesn't belong to us... it belongs to the Earth. We blow each other up because we cannot agree on who's God is real. We murder each other over resources, ideology and greed.
Is this it? Is this what we've evolved to be? Is this what it means to be God's children? How do we move beyond this monkey thinking?

Wasn't that the whole idea to set them to show whether or not the right progress was being made and supposed to be strictly adhered to. Why do they waste taxpayers money on phoney political theatre.
