A ball of mass 522 g starts at rest and slides down a frictionless track, as shown below. It leaves the track horizontally, striking the ground a distance x = 0.71 m from the end of the track after falling a vertical distance h2 = 1.24 m from the end of the track.



(a) At what height above the ground does the ball start to move?

(b) What is the speed of the ball when it leaves the track?

Hey all.

Im a guitarist and have been for about a year now.

But the strange thing is that ive never really played others bands songs, i just play my own. I learnt House of the Rising Sun by the Animals and thats about it.

I think its because i dislike the whole practicing a song over and over. I feel its quite Mundane.

Now i personally think im not to bad at playing guitar, but i only ever write my own songs and just have a jam with myself if you know what i mean. I seem to just pick up a guitar a play with sounds if you get me

Now what i wanted to know is would this be a good thing or a bad thing. Bad becasue i dont have a massive library of songs i can play and its made learning a little slower.

But it must be good that im picking up my style of music and how i want to play guitar so early.

Im not quite sure. All opinions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers

personally, I doubt it, because if he denied usage on the stand, and then was found to have used, he would be subject to perjury charges and he would go to jail.

Additionally, I am not sure they could find a courtroom where his enlarged head could fit through the door (bada bing!)

In the end I think he'll make some noise and then back off.

what are your thoughts on this?

I have to get up in front of some people and pretend to be proud of some work I did, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to fake it. The confusing thing is that usually people will either have some stupid smile on their face, or they'll just look uncomfortably serious. Just looking for helpful tips so I can wing it.

When I bake cookies they always come out of the oven tasting more like cakes and being really huge
Like example 1
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/evilaphrodite/DSC00214.jpg
which have since been murdered and thrown in the bin

I adjusted the size a little (well a lot) and the next batch came out kind of better but still looked like cake but were harder on top hard enough at the bottom
example 2
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/evilaphrodite/DSC00215.jpg
(they're upside down btw)

so do I just need to make them smaller and they'll stop turning out like cake? and more like cookies!

I am set to go on Judge Judy in January. I'm kind of scared considering... well what I see Judge Judy doing every single time I watch that show. : / Anyway, it should be a fun trip to California on the up side. Anyway, you be the judge. Her lawsuit is total crap. We walked up in a long line for a casting call for interviews. The woman and her son were not in line, but were sort of far away from the line as a matter of fact. 5 or 4 feet. Anyway, once we get in line, she comes up to us and says 'get out of line. you took our spot.' I tell her 'no, me and my girlfriend were in line so ur going to have to wait!" She then steps in front of me sort of shoving side ways and I get off of me by shoving her to the ground. She apparently had injuries. Her defense is the line wasn't single file and was kind of scattered and she was still considered in line even though that would mean that she didn't have to come directly up to the place we were standing and ask to step in front of us. Idiot!

Ha, yea, like I'm gonna ask THAT question...
Ok, serious question now...

At what point in the relationship do you realize you want to spend forever with a person? Even if it ended up not working out, when did you first have that epiphany of "I want to spend the rest of my life with you?"
Do you think women feel that way sooner in a relationship than guys?

Ok, I have this unwanted houseguest who is my hubby's best friend. Every time he gets on my computer, it's always messed up somehow. I tell him constantly to stay off of it, but he never listens to me! He was on it all day yesterday, and when I got home from work, it was messed up again. First, my paint program isn't working. Everytime I click on it, it says "failed to create empty document." Is there a way I could reinstall it? I no longer have any of the installation discs that came with the computer, so I'm completely screwed! Also, I can't right-click on anything! Whener I want to copy text or pictures to the clipboard, it won't let me. I know I can use the ctrl+c shortcut, but I really want my mouse to work again! Any tips on these 2 issues?

Why hasn't the skin of the white people who live in Australia become any darker yet. I mean, some of their families have been there for a couple hundred years now and they still get sunburned worse than a white British person who goes to Spain on holiday. If this process was to happen, how long would it take?

I have been married 15 years, but have been separated for 2 months and have a child together. My wife decided that she was no longer happy with herself and decided to move out. This is the second time she has left last year she left for month then came back, but she did not change. She is currently living with a relative and talks about getting her own place. However when I ask her does she want a divorce, she does not give me answer only says she does not know. I know there is no other person involved, because I would know. I just don't understand what she is trying to do or why she can't make decision. I am willing to work on the marriage, but I just don't know what she wants because she won't tell me or make a decision. We tried last year with marriage counseling but she did not like it and did not want to do it again after one session. I just need to understand or know, so I can move on with my life. Why is talking about her own place but yet won't make a decision about divorce?
