I was assigned a sheet full of problems in physics class, and I got them all except these two. Could anyone help me please?

1. A car is stopped at a stoplight. As soon as it turns green, it accelerates 10 ft./s^2 while a truck that didn't stop, having a constant velocity of 30 ft./sec passes the car.

How far beyond the starting point will the car overtake the truck, and how fast will the car be traveling at this time?

-------------------------------

2. A student wants to test acceleration due to gravity, so he climbs to the top of a 900 ft. tall building and falls off the roof. 5 seconds later, Superman arrives at the scene and flies down to the bottom to catch him (Assume Superman's acceleration to be acceleration due to gravity).

A. What must Superman's Initial velocity be to catch the student immediately before the student would hit the ground?

B. What must be the height of the building so that even Superman cannot save him?

I was watching a commercial for one of those adopt a child programs and this question occurred to me. If this childs family is to poor to buy the kid a pair of shoes, then why are they still having more children. I personally wouldnt chance the possibility of bringing another kid into the world if i couldnt afford shoes, food, or a decent roof. How come this logic escapes poorer countries. I dont want to hear education, because even if i where completely in the dark and backwards in my education, i would still put these together and not have anymore kids.

Suppose Jim is a saved born again Christian. Jim dies and goes to be with the Lord. Jim was generous in that he left behind his body's organs for donation to people who need them.

Jack is not saved, does not know God and has clearly rejected God's plan of salvation. Jack is in need of a heart transplant. Jim's heart is a perfect match. Jack get's Jim's heart.

Lets say that the rapture happens before the tribulation. Will the transplanted heart in Jack's body be raptured, or stay with Jack?

My vet prescribed L-Lysine for my cat's sneezing (herpes). She told me to purchase a bottle from a drugstore and give 250 mg twice daily.

I just read online that Propylene Glycol is dangerous for cats to consume.

The L-Lysine tablets that I have have "Polyethylene Glycol" listed in the ingredients.

Is this the same thing as Propylene Glycol? Could it be harmful for my cat? Or is it something different?

I plan to stop giving it to my cat for now until I can consult my vet, but I'd love to hear any answers! Thank you very much!

Today I was talking with 2 other people about someone who always annoys us, and the conversation went into his nationality. One of the two I was talking with said that he was an idiot, so I said, "Is idiot a nationality"? I asked a few various people, and the results were:

1 Yes
2 No's
1 I don't care

So now I throw this question to you, the Y!A community. Is idiot a nationality?

I feel we have not reached that level of thought yet that Bruce Lee first discovered 40 years ago. MMA, though it gets the "blending" portion of Jeet Kune Do correct, still is far behind in the evolution of martial arts.

For example, although styles are being mixed, they are not being mixed in the manner that a Jeet Kune Do practitioner would be mixing them. Rather then mixing this high kick which works for me, with this take down that works for me. We're still going to BJJ/Muay Thai route. Even worse, we still have some backseat martial artists here who watch a few UFC matches and their eyes light up thinking they've seen the revelation. The revelation that every art except BJJ/MT is useless.

Jeet Kune Do teaches to let go of names of styles, as that is all they are and despite the name, its not going to make the moves any better. People don't get Muay Thai'd on the street, they get beat up or beat someone else up.

What are your thoughts of MMA's current state of thought vs JKDs?

What would happen if you turbocharged a motorcycle, surely the kick in power would make the back wheel spin. Anyway, just curious =D
