Science & Mathematics - 13 September 2006

Okay, I give up. I believe that to actually solve this problem is beyond my current abilities. I've approximated the solution to be 304.64, but now I want to know the exact answer.

The problem is: An object moves at a rate of [20+7cos(x)] m/s for 15 s. How far did it travel?

I know I'm close, because if it had traveled a little longer then the rate would have averaged perfectly to 20 m/s, so the answer should be just a little over 15*20, which mine is.

Is this problem a lot easier to do than I think? I started calculus last week, and I just picked up this problem as a challenge. If integrating a trig function is actually what I have to do, and is as complex as it looks, then all I need is to be told so.

my cousin and i were discussing creation verses evolution and this question popped up and i dont know how to answer it. if man and ape (monkeys) share the same DNA and genes as humans and they say humans evolve from the ape. then can a human and ape create a cross species, it looks to me like if we were from the same gene pool it would be possible, but doing research i have found they they have tried and failed so this just make me believe that the whole human ape theory is wrong. if any one can explain this whole thing please do. the question is if we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys today? and is it possible to cross species, take your time answering this ill will read all answers no matter how long they are. this is a serious question

alrite, ive tried looking at this in different angles, but theres no lightbulb popping up above my hea (if u catch my drift)

A B C
1 8 27
64 125 216


~~the data above was featured in a table-- the question is: in what column would you find the number one billion and why?~~

~~ the information is jumbled, but it was originally aligned according to row and column, so the numbers 1 and 64 go under column "A". the numbers 8 and 25 go under column "B". the numbers 27 and 216 go under column "C".

"SEE" back to the time when the Universe became transparent

This question has NOTHING to do with God! Just so we are clear on that point.

I cannot see anything beyond the picture of the dog and his master. What I need is an idea of who this celestial image was made for, why it was made, what was happening physically and socially in this time period and what it represents. This is totally beyond me. What ever suggestions, ideas or cites would be welcome.

If you were to inhale pure carbon monoxide for a short period of time, would pain occur before or after the loss of consciousness?

That is, would death by the inhalation of CO be in any way painful?
