1. A lawn mower (25kg) is pushed downward w/ a force of 50N at an angle of 60 degree w/ the horizontal distance of 5m. The frictional force opposing the motion is 20N. If it starts at rest, what will the speed of the lawnmower be after traveling 5m?

2. When a 7.0kg metal shell is fired from a cannon barrel that has a length of 2.5m, the explosive force exerted on the shell while it is in the barrel varies in the manner shown in the graph below (weblink). Assume the barrel is horizontal and neglect the effects of the friction inside the barrel. Determine the approximate muzzle velocity of the shell at the instant it leaves the barrel.

Have you ever tied to cut it out or calm it down a little.
I was at a restaurant where some dude was talking all loud and every other word was F***. And not even caring that everyone in the whole place could here him. And he wasn't even mad, only joking and laughing. Apparently he just thought he sounded "super cool".
He actually just sounded like an idiot.

Zero1 tells us that your age doesn't count until you're a year old. I'm alive during the previous 12 months, so I'm IN the first year of my life, even though I'm not one year old yet.

When time began on Earth, the Earth already existed, so even though a decade hadn't passed, Earth was in its first decade.

keep this light and silly. Anyone giving vulgar responses will be reported on - even if just merely suggested along the "F" word or taking God's name in Vain or body parts with symbols thrown in to mask the actual word.

This is just for fun to see what silly words we grew up with to express anger or a mistake....

My examples:
Boo-boo
"Oh boy, Almond Joy"
Fiddlesticks
"Hell's Bells"
"I'll be a monkey's uncle"

So on & so on.
Have fun, and the cutest, most unique or longest list of adjectives will get the 10 points!

Does it bother you when people use the word "very"? To me, using "very" just cheapens the word following it. If you say "very hot" why can't you just say "hot"? Hot is HOT. Like just being hot is not good enough it has to be very hot?

You don't only have to use hot, you can have any word following it, it just seems to me that words are loosing their powers with this stupid lead in to the real word.
