Swimmer in River

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A river 700 ft wide flows with a speed of 10 ft/s with respect to the earth. A woman swims with a speed of 5 ft/s with respect to the water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) If the woman heads directly across the river, how far downstream is she swept when she reaches the opposite bank?
d1 = ft *
1400 OK

HELP: Can you find the time it takes the swimmer to get across the river?
HELP: Can you use this time to find the distance down river she was pulled?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) If she wants to be swept a smaller distance downstream, she heads a bit upstream. Suppose she orients her body in the water at an angle of 37° upstream (where 0° means heading straight accross, as in part (a)), how far downstream is she swept before reaching the opposite bank?
d2 = ft


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c) For the conditions of part (b), how long does it take for her to reach the opposite bank?
t = s

TOLERANCE (old definition) – to recognize and respect other people’s beliefs/practices without sharing with them OR to bear or to put up with someone or something that is not especially liked.

TOLERANCE (new definition) – every single individual’s beliefs, values, lifestyles, and truth claims are equally true and are to be accepted and appreciated.

Christians: do you have ANY clue what the ramifications of this is?

Here, open your eyes and behold:
To say that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven and proclaim Him as such to others in love will get you labeled as a fanatic, a bigot, and intolerant.

The number one known Bible verse in the world has transitioned from John 3:16 to Matthew 7:1!

Alright this has been going on for a while. I'm not sexual active, I am on birth control pills and I've been on it for four or five years. These abnormal pains are located around my stomache area and this started about a couple of months ago. I thought it was from cheese because every time I eat it, I feel dizzy or feel like throwing. Sometimes when I eat cheese the pain comes. I stop eatting with the cheese completely and I still have the pains. I went to the gynecologist and she didn't find anything. What could this be?

This is a website that actually tries to claim that government is good and is a "vital" institution. Of course, anybody who makes arguments as absurd as these (and the person running it is a Marxist professor at Mount Holyoke of course) will inevitably make arguments so absurd that they are funny.

I don't think we need to rebut this nonsense (it is so absurd that no rational person would believe it), but it makes for a good laugh.

I have a project in English and my partner and I need a book by tomorrow that we're going to read and do a project on. It needs to be something not too long but not too short, I'm thinking between 250-400 pages. It has to be an American author.

Here's what we're going for:
-something humorous, and maybe a little dark
-original and funny
-can be acted out in some way
-very entertaining
-can hold the attention of a 14-year-old boy who is slightly emo and loves dropping the "f" bomb and sexual comments.
-can hold the attention of a 14-year-old girl who loves sarcasm and ironic situations

If you have more than one book in mind, feel free to recommend them all.

Don't worry about a description, I'll look them up on amazon or something.

Thank you :]

I mean come on now :D if you dont believe in God why spend your time discussing a being you believe doesnt exist. Then you rant on about how he should die and he is an sob well most of you do anyways. You quote scripture and then try to make believers believe you. Its okay to quote and read the bible but why? Then you put down believers for believing? If he doesnt exist why spend time talking about him and insulting him. Do you have anger against him because it seems a majority of you seem as if you believe but you dont want to. Why spend time talking about God or god's that you believe dont exist. Find a better hobby. :D

I would like people of all religions to also put their views in as well

It's a fairly large car so manual lifting is out of the question. I suppose a crane may be needed but I don't think I can get one close enough without destroying my prize roses.

Could explosives be used? Just enough to get it out. Then I can drive it to the street.

I am planning to open my own shipping company. I want to cover air, land, and sea. I hear about many people starting a shipping business and becoming rich, but I am not sure exactly how to start a business. I know it involves buying several older ships, having them refurbished, and putting them back to use, or buying several beat up Lincolns and turning them into taxis, and so on. The other way is to start my own banking company, but I have no clue at all how to start a banking company.

Okay, I go to a middle school, and I'm really confused. All over the middle school is fights, people saying they lost their virginity, and smoking pot. In fact like 20 minutes ago, when I was on the bus, some kid was smoking in the back of the school bus. The smell was gross and a bunch of the girls were playing with lighters and writing with sharpie on the bus covers. My friend and I were disturbed and a little freaked out. Girls were talking about how they all supposedly lose their virginity with b/f. This is not really a question... I just want to know what you think, and what I should do... and does this go on in high school too?
