Hi! I am a sophomore in high school, and this year I plan to do my science fair project on piezoelectric. I am in honors chemistry, and I want to create piezoelectric crystals, and measure the amount of energy given when pressure is applied. I want to use different types of crystals that I can preferably create myself. Then, I would like to possibly light a small LED.

I know that I can make one type of crystal by using Rochelle salt. Does anyone know of any others, preferably ones that can be made at home?

Also, what is the type of meter I need to get to measure the very small amount of charge that is given off by the crystals. Can I pick one up at my local hardware store, and how much will I have to cough up? The same goes for what ingredients I need for my crystals?

Thanks a lot in advance. I look forward to reading your answers. Please feel free to e-mail me if you need more information, or if I am not coherent enough. Once again, thanks!

I know that anything sexual is haram unless you are married with the other person. What other things are haram, or even just looked down upon?

1. Is it bad if I just have friends that are girls (not girlfriends, I know that's forbidden)?

2. Is it ok to just chat sometimes (as long as someone else is there too, or in groups of people)?

3. Is hugging someone of the opposite gender bad if you're not family with him or her?

My husband is currently deployed, and we are trying to explain to my 3yr old nephew why his uncle isn't around...We have showed him maps and tried to get him to talk to his uncle, but he won't. He keeps saying he is mad at his uncle because he won't come and see him... How can we help him better to understand that his uncle wants to see him, but is on deployment?

I am an un-happily married man. At work there is this single girl whom I talk to and we have become very good friends but nothing more. Whenever I leave home for work I feel bad because of an argument of something my annoyning, selfish and controlling wife has just said to me. But when I get to work and see my friend all of that goes away. I think she has an idea I'm not happy at home but hasn't asked too many questions. I value my privacy and she seems to respect that. She a wonderful person and I know we'll probably be no more that friends. My question is should I tell her how great she makes me feel or should I just keep my feelings to myself. Thanks.

My husband is a very tough man and this is a very sensitive issue for him. He hasn't have a solid stool for about a month. I do not know what caused it, we eat the same food.
He tries to hide it from everyone, but he suffers a lot. It gets to the point that he has to go to the bathroom about 8 times a day. He needs to seek professional help. When I try to talk to him, he does not want to hear about it. How to approach it? What are the home remedies for this problem if any?

A physics student pulls a block of mass m = 22 kg up an incline at a slow constant velocity for a distance of d = 3 m. The incline makes an angle q = 30° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is µk = 0.2.

Picture: https://wug-s.physics.uiuc.edu/cgi/courses/shell/common/showme.pl?cc/DuPage/Phys1201/fall/homework/Ch-08-Energy-Conservation/block_ramp_friction_spring/9.gif

a) What is the work Wm done by the student?

b) What is the speed v of the block when it first reaches the horizontal surface?

c) What is the spring constant k of the spring?

d) How far up the incline d1 does the block rebound?

When a person in the hospital is given fluid intravenously (an I.V.) the fluid is typically a saline solution (salt) with about the same water concentration as human body tissues. explain how the use of distilled water in place of this saline solution would be expected to upset the patient's homeostasis. (may be related to Diffusion)

An example - My brother loves to dip cheese puffs in vanilla ice cream. (I'm not a big fan of this one. lol)

Also ever since I was young I've always loved bacon and jelly sandwiches.

What are some odd food combinations you enjoy or have heard of from others?
