  • Why do both nuclear fission and fusion produce energy?

    It seems a little odd that both would produce energy. One would think that it uses up energy to do one thing, and it releases energy to do the other. Why does it go either way?

  • How do I enter function into Y1 from program (TI-83 Plus)?

    I'm trying to write a program on my TI-83 that asks for input, inserts these values into a function, then puts this function into Y1 and graphs it.

    Simple example: I want to input values for A and B into the formula, 3A+10B^2/x, then put this into Y1 and graph.

    I thought that would be:

    Input A

    Input B

    3A+10B^2/X -> Y1

    That gives me: "ERR: DATA TYPE" when I try to put it in Y1.

    So my question is, from a program, how do I enter a function into Y1 and graph?

    Thanks for your help.

  • How did Chell get into the test chambers initially?

    In the (awesome) game Portal, the main character, Chell, wakes up in a bed that is in the first test chamber. My friend brought up an interesting question. If the enrichment facility is abandoned, how did she get there in the first place?

  • What is the cause of the sharp pain in my hip?

    Yesterday I was hanging out and doing some tricks for fun. After landing one of the tricks (I didn't mess up) I got a sharp pain in my hip that came whenever I lifted my left leg. The pain started out small but then got increasingly worse throughout the day. This morning, the pain is still here. It feels like it's coming from inside of the actual joint. I thought it might be a pinched nerve, but, after looking it up, I'm not feeling any of the numbness or radiating pain that is associated with a pinched nerve.

    Do you have any idea what this could be and how I can stop the pain?

  • How do appliances tell battery charge?

    Many of my electronics (especially my digital camera) are very inaccurate when they indicate how charged your battery is. They will say 3 bars. Then 2 bars. Then 3. Then 1. Then 2. So I was wondering how these electronics test battery charge and why this method is so inaccurate?

  • Ubuntu installation problems?

    I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop using Wubi. Wubi worked fine. Then, when I restarted my computer and began the Ubuntu installation process. The first step was 'Migrate documents and settings'

    On this step for some reason, no matter what i select (and even if I select nothing) the Forward button would not highlight and be 'clickable'?

    I also tried just quitting the installation. It then brought me to the desktop.

    One Icon on the desktop was "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" I tried that.

    I went through all the steps no problem (although I don't know what partitions are), but when the "installing system" progress bar started, it got to 15% and gave me the error "Error opening /host/ubuntu/disks/swap/disk: No such file or directory."

    Im stumped. Any suggestions.

    By the way i'm using an HP with Windows XP.

  • Trumpets: Yamaha Xeno or King Flair?

    Which trumpet is better? A Yamaha Xeno (YTR-84455) or King Flair (2055-T)? I can get the Xeno for $1,299 and the Flair for $999. I am a high school student looking for a good trumpet for a lifelong hobby.
