Make sure you specify what your final answer is EX. (my answer=___) because I do not want to give the best answer to someone who is wrong This is easier than it seems ENJOY before the age of technology the library was over flowing with books. then during one decade each book was stored on microfiche. this new storage space was equal to the cube root of the old space. in the next decade the microfiche were converted to diskettes this new storage space was equal to the square root of the previous space finally in this decade each tape has been changed over to a compact disc. the current space is about 23 percent of the previous space. if the current space is equal to 3 books how many books were in the old library???????

Do particles and antiparticles have same half-life and stability?

Electron is v stable. Is positron equally stable with the same half-life? Is the anti-proton equally stable as the proton?

Of course we assume that the antiparticles are well confined and they do not come in contact with their counterpart and annhilate.

Has the half-life of positron been measured independently?

NASA receives approximately $14 billion annually from Congress despite their costly mishaps, failures & cost overruns. Each Space Shuttle launch costs approximately $600 million. As of yesterday, the national debt is up to $8,504,680,145,498.58 ( that's $8 billion +). Do you think that the tax-payers money could be better spent? Or do you think NASA is so important and beneficial it doesn't matter how much money they need to fulfill their curiosities?

It's a rare symptom, and I wonder what has perpetuated this myth. My sister earnestly believed it after watching "Bring it On". It occurs in the minority of those with Turret's.

If 2 x 2 = 4 then the square root of 4 is 2
If -2 x -2 = 4 then the square root of 4 is -2 Also!
So the square root of 4 is both 2 & -2

Considering that the above is true.

What is the Square Root of -4?

Every few hundreds of thousands of years the world goes through a dramatic climate change. The poles change, as do the tropics, so are we starting the new change, or is it realy global warming that is causing the bad weather?
In the 80's when Mount St Helens blew, the force of the explosion caused the world to stop momentarily in it's orbit. Was this enough to shift the rotation of the earth and cause the new weather pattens?

A velocity selector only lets through charged particles moving at a velocity v, where v = E/B (E is electric field and B is magnetic field). In order for the velocity selector to work properly:

a) The motion of the charged particle must be perpendicular to both the electric and magnetic fields.
b) Electric and magnetic field must be perpendicular to one another.
c) All of the above.
d) None of the above.
