Homework Statement A hockey puck leaves a player's stick with a speed of 8.30m/s and slides 25.0m before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice. Homework Equations f=μn F=ma v^2=v_0^2+2a(x-x_0) The Attempt at a Solution So I've...

Oh gosh, I didn't know I was giving off that intention that teaching high school is "lesser", I thought I addressed it clearly. I'm not meaning that. I'd just like to know, as I've said, why do people pick it? Just like how I'd wonder why people prefer apples over oranges. So I'm getting the...

So your saying they do it out of service? Well I saw that you said Yet then you say So I'll assume you mean that the teacher nutures their interest, as well as the students' interests and abilities? Well, why do they want to? I'm trying to understand the motive behind it. Just...

I'm not downplaying the idea by any means, I'm just curious of the motive behind it.

I'm implying that I have never heard of anything happining in Cuba throughout my entire life, and that the revolution is almost all I know about Cuba and what has happened there. So it sounds like they aren't faring too well then, are they?

The last thing I heard of them, was the revolution. That was before my birth.

Oh that's right, I completley forgot that I could only factor A2 - B2. Thanks.

Homework Statement Factor the following difference of two squares. Assume that variables represent whole numbers. s^4 - 625 Homework Equations (A)^2 - (B)^2 The Attempt at a Solution s^4-625 (s^2)^2 - 25^2 (s^2+25)(s^2-25) (s^2+25)(s+5)(s+5) - Correct The "program" wants...

I've briefly looked over that once before, but now I auctualy read it. It's really daunting, all that work I must go through. At least I know it can be done, thanks.

I'm not to fond of the idea of working for an industry. You see, no one has ever explained to me how the system works. So your saying the only way I'd be doing that research is to become a tenured professor? Do you mind if I just PM you some questions then? I'm highly curious right now.

Do you mean research? I was planning on doing research regardless.

That's why I didn't ask for a physics based magazine, as I knew I will be getting one for free. :) I have interests in other fields as well, which is why I also want another magazine to supplement. Right I figured "Science" would be way over my head. (That T-shirt looks neat though) I...

Yes Gokul, I live in the US.

"Nature" falls in the line of "ridiculous pricing" I'm simply a first year college student. I couldn't afford that. Do you think I would be able to comprehend "Science" though?

Now that's cheap, I might as well get that with another magazine too.
