John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat !

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."
Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the "kicker":

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse.

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and ! the assassin ran to a theater.

In a TV set, an electron beam moves with horizontal velocity of 3.4x10^7 m/s across the cathode ray tube and strikes the screen, 45 cm away. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 .
How far does the electron beam fall while traversing this distance? Answer in units of m.

Any help appreciated thanks.

"Write a program that plays a guessing game where the computer tries to guess a number picked by the user. The program asks the user to think of a secret number, and then asks the user a sequence of guesses. After each guess, the user must report if it is too high or too low or correct. The program should count the guesses. (Hint: Maintain HighestPossible and LowestPossible variables, and always guess midway between the two. This is called a binary search.) The program output should look similar to:

Think of a number between 1 and 100 and press any key.
Is the number 50 (Correct, Low, High)? _h_
Is the number 25 (Correct, Low, High)? _h_
Is the number 13 (Correct, Low, High)? _l_
Is the number 19 (Correct, Low, High)? _c_
Number of guesses: 4
"

Underlined material is user input

At a given instant, the total acceleration of a particle moving clockwise in a circle of radius 2.05 m. The magnitude of the total acceleration of the particle at the given instant is 14.8 m/s^2; the angle between the vector of total acceleration and the radius-vector of the particle is 30 degrees. At this instant of time, find the centripetal acceleration of the particle. Answer in units of m/s2.

2.Find the speed of the particle at the samemoment. Answer in units of m/s.

3.Find particle's tangential acceleration at the same moment. Answer in units of m/s^2.

My daughter came home with a question that I have no idea how to help her with. Her math teacher asked the class to work out:

A farmer has 10 sows. Each sow had 14 piglets, 7 of which were sows. How many pigs will he have in 5 years? Indicating working out would be greatly appreciated. I assume each sow gives birth to 7 sows and 7 hogs.

Hey, thanks for taking a look at this. Basicaly, what I've done, (Stupid I know) Is put some money, into a envelope. A hundred bucks, and Apperantly I was supposed to put it in the bank, and then write a check.

Well, In all honesty, I had no idea. Now, I'm totally scared that I'll be yelled at etc. by my Mum. I mean, She freaking filled the form out, and put the freaking enveloppe right there, signed with the money out on the counter. So What did i do? I put the whole damned thing in.

My question is, Since It's late at Night, Do you think that tomorrow I might be able to go to the Post office that I sent it to, and tell them, what the enveloppe was, show them my Id, passport number etc. that was on that form? Do you think they might give it back? Any ideas? It would really be apperciated.

Please, No ' No You can't get your letter back' answeres just to get you freaking points. If you think you can help, then please do so.

I already took the SAT test before but because I'm a foreign student, many of the colleges would like me to take the TOEFL Exam, but the time I'm taking the TOEFL exam is after the application deadline for one of the school I'm applying to.
