My new job is requiring me to be live scanned. I live in CA. I got my live scan done at a UPS store about a year ago. Can I somehow get that live scan and use it for this new job? If so, how can I retrieve my old one?

My friend is an international student and got a red light ticket (she turned on a red without stopping). I saw the ticket but it didn't have a price, just her picture @ the red, so I told her they would send another ticket in the mail with the price. A few months passed and we forgot about the ticket, but another piece of mail came saying she has to give up her license and pay a $790 fine!!! Ahhh! Im pretty sure now I directed my friend wrongly and now she has this fine to pay. What should/can we do now?? She got the ticket almost 3 months ago....*sighh please help! Thx!

I bought a used 2008 Toyota Corolla from a family friend that recently moved out of the country. I bought it for very cheap (bought it for about $7,000 with only 16,000miles).

What I totally forgot about after buying the car was the registration fee. My friends are telling me it's about 10%, so about $700. Well, I can't afford this! Is there any way I can get around this registration fee, for example, stating that I received the car as a gift? Or can I state that I only paid $3,000? How stern is the CA DMV?

Does anyone have an experience relating to this?

I'm looking to buy a used car here in California. A lot of people tell me to avoid dealers because of taxes and other fees, but about how much more will that add if I'm buying say a Toyota Corolla at around 11,000-12,000?

And also, if I look to buy from a dealer how can I negotiate the price? Or can I? Any tips to getting a good deal when buying from a used car dealership?

Write the lewis structure, including all major resonance contributors, and the resonance hybrid for CH3CO2-Na+

My professor provided me with the answer to this question, but I'm confused about the structure. The CH3C(O2)- is in brackets and the Na+ is outside the brackets (on the top right, like a charge). Can someone explain why this is? I thought only charges could go in that position, not molecules.

Thanks a lot for any help :)

Hi guys,

My mom recently hit my honda civic and my front right fender is UGLY and scratches my tire when I drive. A guy at my school randomly came up to me and told me he has the same part and that he'd sell it to me for $45 and install it for $40. Is this a good deal? What do you guys think?

My limit is $700, what do you guys suggest?? I really like the sound of my friend's Martin Custom x-series... it's smaller and looks great with it's natural look, but it's more than my price range.

I saw this on guitarcenter.com ... anyone have this?

I also saw these... anyone know anything about them?

I'm mainly using my guitar to hook into the amp when I play on my church's praise team. I'm looking for a guitar with a sort of brilliant sound... with a more natural look. Let me know if you guys have any advice!

I just bought a Dynex brand digital TV. I plugged it into the cable coming out of my wall but I can't even get local channels (not even fuzzy ones). I thought I could at least get local channels without having an antenna... do I need bunny ears for this TV to get locan channels until February 17 comes and the digital TV law goes into effect?

I bought a phone off of a guy on Craigslist.org

After activating it I realized you can't hear anything except the ringtones. I called the guy back and we met again--was going to return but he fixed it (thought it was a setting problem). But went back home and the sound did it again. I've called him a few times now and he's definitely avoiding my calls. He probably had an on and off problem with the speakers on his phone and knew that by playing around with the phone it would come back on......

Well, now he has my money and I have his broken phone. But i also have his license plate number. What should I do... Will the police help in this situation (since it's not that big of a deal for them?).

Hi guys,

I'm doing to do a physics project and present my results this Monday. My idea is to measure the temperatures various colors absorb from the sun. The project calls for 6 glass jars, fill them with water, and covering those jars with different colored construction paper--then measure each temperature after time, but I was thinking of doing it instead with different colors of cloth (like shirts or cloth from Wal-Mart or Michaels), and using thin plastic containers instead of glass jars. Would this be a better alternative? The reason I want to do this is because I was thinking thin plastic containers would absorb heat better than glass jars, and colored cloth would be more realistic than colored construction paper. (or what if i just filled big ziploc bags with water and covered them with the cloth?)

What do you think? The point of this project is to measure the temperature each color absorbs from the sun (like when we say wearing black makes us hotter, i want to prove this through actual temperatures).

I just lit my wall heater's pilot light... i can hear the gas flowing and the flame sound is a little loud. is this normal? this is my first time lighting a pilot light....

and do i just leave the pilot light lit even when we're not using the wall heater?

Where can I rent a strong black light in the Bay Area, specifically in the Peninsula, East Bay, or even San Jose area?

The potential energy, U, of a particle moving along the x-axis is give by:

U = b(a^2/x^2 - a/x)

where a and b are positive constants and x >0. What value of x minimizes the potential energy?

I took the derivative, but I don't think I did it right, and I'm not sure what to do after. Can someone show me step by step please? Thanks so much!

I'm taking the derivative, but can't seem to get the right solution (comparing to answers in back of book). Can someone help me out and show me how to solve these?

Determine whether the limits exist, and where possible evaluate it.

1) lim as x-->1 of lnx/x^2-1

2) lim as x-->0 of sinh(2x)/x

3) lim as t-->pi of sin^2t/t-pi

4) lim as x-->0 of 1-cosh(3x)/x

I would greatly appreciate help on how to answer these. Thanks so much!

A ruptured oil tanker causes a circular oil slick on the surface of the ocean. When its radius is 150 meters, the radius of the slick is expanding by 0.1 meter/minute and its thickness is 0.02 meter. At that moment:

a) how fast is the area of the slick expanding?

I got 94 meter^2/minute

b) The circular slick has the same thickness everywhere and the volume of oil spilled remains fixed. How fast is the thickness of the slick decreasing?

How do I do part b in this question?

A spherical snowball is melting. Its radius is decreasing at 0.2cm per hour when the radius is 15cm. How fast is its volume decreasing at that time?

can someone show me how to solve this? i'm having a lot of trouble with section and these types of problems.... :(

A 100-kg trunk loaded with old books is to be slid across a floor by a young woman who exerts a force of 300N down and forward at 30degrees with the horizontal. if kinetic friction = 0.4 and static friction = 0.5, find the resulting acceleration.

how do i solve this problem? please help!

A force of 5N gives a mass M1 an acceleration of 8m/s^2 and a mass M2 an acceleration of 24 m/s^2. What acceleration would it give the two when they are fastened together?

Can someone show me step by step how to do this problem?

A force of 61.7 N is required to start a 7.0 -kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor.

What is the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor?

If the 61.7 N force continues, the box accelerates at 0.60 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

I missed this part of my class lecture and have no idea how to do this. Can someone show me the steps as well as the answer?

A projectile is fired with speed v0 at an angle theta from the horizontal. What is the range of the projectile, R? Express the range in terms of v0, theta, and g.

... i have no idea how to do this.
