I have always wondered. As a young girl, I had a stuffed squirrel and a stuffed lion, and the squirrel was biggest. However, I think I have heard that lions are even bigger than house cats which are definitely bigger than squirrels.

1) An electron, starting from rest and moving with a constant acceleration, travels 1.9 cm in 3.8 ms. What is the magnitude of this acceleration is km/s^2.
I got 5 x 10^-4 km/s^2. Is this correct????

2) A tennis ball with a speed of 12.6 m/s is thrown perpendicularly at a wall. After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 10 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.014 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is contact with the wall?
I got the answer 1614.29 m/s^2. Is this right???

I'm currently a sophomore major in EE in college.
I have learned calculus1-3 and I'm taking differential equation now.

I get the feeling that math may be the most useful and desirable major I know,I'm thinking about changing major.
But I'm not smart at all and dumb when it comes to math or science.

If a guy drank water really slowly continuously, and then waited until he had to pee and kept drinking really really slowly, and then peed again, still drinking, could he eventually create and endless cycle of drinking/peeing?

I don't have time to explain why I need to know this, but I need the names of some famously terrible scientists (bonus points if they're chemists). Also welcome are names of pioneers of various pseudosciences. My ability to find pictures of these people is crucial so keep that in mind. Thanks!
