What is it, then?

This plant is a low growing ground-cover that grows in Florida. It is a succulent, non-woody plant, and roots quite easily. The top of the leaves are green with purple spots, and the underside of the leaves are purple. I have never been able to identify it.

1. k + 6k = 8k - 4
2.10p - 14 - p = 4p - 9
3. x - 8x + 7 = 2x -11
4. 1/4x + 2/3 = x + 3/4
5. 1/2y - 2/3 = 2/3y + 1/2
6. 4/7p + 2/7p - 1 = 2/7p + 1/2

I've heard Dog's and Wolves sense they hunt in packs. But is it true that nothing could survive an attack from a pack of dogs or wolves? Or what about a pride of lions?

Hey all you Science whizzes out there! We are looking for an example of a movable pulley and can't find one anywhere online! Everytime we think we have found one...it turns out to be a block and tackle, or some sort of lever. We already have examples for block and tackles and fixed pulleys. If you can give us an example of one it would be much appreciated. Also, if you are getting your info from a web site, please list the link on here for us. Thanks so much!

It seems to me that the electric eel has no predators in the amazon. A jaguar, caiman, or anaconda wouldn't dare attack it! The coils of an anaconda are useless against this highly charged shocker! But is there anything that can attack and kill and electric eel?

A 1909 group of German meteorologists allegedly flew a series of kites up to 31,000ft, and U.S. aerostats on the Mexican border routinely fly at about 20,000 ft, but has anything actually flown higher with a tether?

OK, I have heard from a person who never tried it but was told and certainly believed that if you were camping and wanted an ice cold drink that you could bury it about 6 inches underground, then cover it up with dirt, pour gasoline over a large area above it (he described 3-4ft. diameter) then light the gasoline. Supposedly, the resulting large but brief fire would pull all the heat from the ground and drinks below. This seems highly implausible but I thought I'd check with you guys first before making fun of him for being so gullible. Has anyone ever heard of (or tried) this?

This one's for my brother and me. A Thermos Bottle works because heat won't travel across a vacuum, so how does a spacecraft dissapate the heat generated by equipment and people? It can't be as simple as a radiator (such as in a car) because they need airflow to work.

I saw a video clip of a Tiger that had escpaed out of the coils of a python and wouned the snake very badly. The Tiger escaped because the snake could not get all of it's coils around the tiger. To me, it appeared that the tiger had more strength than the snake had anticipated! But lets say the Amur (siberian) Tiger which is the king of all cats, against the Anaconda the king of all snakes! who would win that battle? I know it woulld'nt happen naturally because they do not co-exist with each other(meaning they live on separate continents). I myself like the Amur Tiger in this one because of its size, and strength. After all this tiger is capable of bringing down Russian brown bears! It is said that the Amur Tiger can grow to be over 9 ft. long and weight over a 1,000 pounds! I would guess the snake would be history!

Two inertial objects move heading each other. When they cross each other , a light pulse is shot up. And when these objects look for the light pulse after they have gone a long way along, they find it just above their head. How do you explain this ?
The single pulse shot seem to be two.
Does this go against the Law of conservation of energy?
