Why not allow the whole thing to flood with water (makes it sink), and then blow it outside through the tube in order to return to surface?

It's a simple enough design -- a can of cola (except for it'd be nice to have a transparent can) with two holes: one for the tube (should be water-tight), and one below the waterline (allows water to come in).

If you leave the end of the tube open, water will flow into the craft, allowing it to sink. If you close the other end of the tube with your finger, no more water would flow in (air pressure) -- it stays level. If you blow hard enough (try this), water will actually be forced out, and it'll return to surface.

All of this is wasted, however, if you count air as "something" that you add or remove.

i hope you guys can help me in english class i'm doing a project and i need info about carry concealed weapons and i'm on the pro side so i'm saying that carrying concealed weapons reduces crimes and etc.

so if you guys could help thanks alot

Well, you can do a google search to find out what states have concealed carry laws. And you can go to the FBI's web site to find statistics on violent crime state by state.

You might look into Texas State version of FBI's info page as the recently had an issue on this and re-approving of concealed wepon laws do to school shooting so they may have something useful.

EDIT: doesnt matter, i've handed the work in now anyway

Alex has maths homework which she's confused on. Guess who gets to help her?! Yep, you There's 4 I can't do, but I'll just post 2 (I'll bug dad later ;D)


The problem is, I *know* I can work this out... I just can't get my mind around it.


Again, like the last -- I know I'm able to do it... I just can't.

If you're able to help with either, I will love you forever

I'm not ignoring you or anything r4che1, it's just that science really isn't my thing and I don't even know what you're talking about. o_o



Let x = how fast she can run (km/hr). That means that (x+30) would equal how fast she can cycle. She spent 48 minutes (.8 = 8/10 hours) running and a third of that time cycling (16 minutes = 8/30 hours)

That would give you something like this:

(8/10)x + (8/30)(x+30) = 60

(8/10)x + (8/30)x + 8 = 60
(32/30)x = 52
x = 48.75



Er. By any chance, did you/your teacher leave part of it out? When I have to solve these kinds of problems, it usually gives something like the total price of the blend in addition.

Thanks for the help with the first one

As for the second... my bad, I didn't type it up correctly. The correct one:

Hope this helps...



Let x = the # of kilograms of the $11 tea and the $12 tea. Then...
11x = the total price of the $11 dollar tea (in the mix)
12x = the total price of the $12 dollar tea (in the mix)
10(100-2x) = the total price of the $10 dollar tea (100 ... the # of kilograms - the number of kilograms already taken, which is 2x because one x for the $11 and one for the $12)

Then....
11x + 12x + 10(100-2x) = 1120 = total price of the 100 kilograms of tea.
23x + 1000 - 20x = 1120
3x = 120
x = 40

This means you've got 40 kilgrams of $11 tea and 40 kilograms of $12 tea and 20 kilograms of $10 tea...

Plug that back in...
11(40) + 12(40) + 10(20) = 440 + 480 + 200 = 1120
Then you divide by 100 to get the price of 1 kilogram of tea and you get $11.20, which was what you wanted.

I love you both

...Any chance I can hire either of you to do my homework?

What's the difference in usage between Shiite and Shia? And how would I use them correctly?

Shiites is plural for Shia.

A Shia is singular.

When you are taking about a group of Shia's, you would say Shiites. The actual section of Islam which is split into three sections (Suni, Soufi, Shiites -- I apologise for my spelling, I'm taking religion in French.) is called "Shiites".

Is this a little clear?

I think that helped.... I'm doing a speech for compitition and it deals alot with Iraq and the Sunnis, Kurds, and Shiites. I was thinking Shia was plural for Shiite, but that wouldn't explain Shiites, with an S............

Oi...this genetics stuff is confusing me. Dihybrids and Punnett squares, and I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to mix sex-linked characteristics (colourblindness, for example) in there- especially since albinism seems to be a "plain" characteristic, if you get what I mean.

"A woman who is a carrier of the albino allele marries a colour blind man who is also a carrier of the albino allele. The woman is not a carrier of the allele for colourblindness. Completely describe the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children and the theorietical ratios in which they will occur.

Then, repeat the question except that the woman is now a carrier of the allele for colourblindness."

Any help would be much appreciated.

[edit] Oops, spelling mistake. O_o Serves me right for not looking up when typing.

Err...Which is dominant and recessive? and is it like XxYY by XXyy or more plain and simple like Tt by TT, oh it's sex linked...hehe...let's see then, wait is albinism sex linked also? wait...scratch that...can't be or the male wouldn't be able to be carrier

Okay I'm thinking that 2 boys not colorblind, and 2 daughters are carrierrs

because it affects the x chromosome so let's say x-is the infected trait

XX is the mother...and xY is the father...so punnett square gets what is above

for the other part,
Xx is the mother since she's a carrier and has two it doesn't show up... xY since the father is colorblind since he doesn't have a nother x to cover it up and punnett square it gets this:

1 boy colorblind, 1 boy not, 1 girl carrier, 1 girl colorblind

as for albinism, it can't be sex linked or male can't be carrier....so it's recessive because if it's dominant then no carriers allowed so it'll be
Aa by Aa because both parents are carriers

so 25% normal, 50% carriers, and 25% albinism

Genetics is so refreshingly fun!
