  • CALCULUS AND VECTOR HELP Vertical Motion + Horizontal Motion?

    A model is launched from a dock at the side of a lake. It's flight path through the air is modelled by the equation h(t) = -5t^2 + 30t + 2, where h is the height of the rocket above ground level in meters and t is the time after the launch in seconds.

    a) Determine the time it takes for the rocket to hit the water after initially being launched

    b) Fin h'(t) (derivative of h(t)) at the time the rocket hits the water (use the time from d). Interpret the meaning of this value.,

    c) Find the maximum height.

    d) Find the h'(t) or derivative of h(t) at the time that the maximum height occurs. Interpret the meaning of this value.

  • Why does God hate my family?

    I used to have the perfect life, and then all of a sudden, my dad left halfway across the country to do his intern. Now it's been 3 years since I last saw him, and I am just sad that he wasn't part of my life for those 3 years.

    My mom earns the money for the family, but today she got fired from her job. SO now, we have no income. And a lot of loans and bills pilling up. I can't work because my mom says she will take care of it, and she will get mad if I do.

    I didn't have a childhood because I had to clean, do chores, etc. and I never got the time to actually spend time with any other child my age. Besides, I never had an iPod, or iPhone, or cellphone or computer like they do. I have nothing to offer them if they were my friends anyways, I can't buy anything.

    Not only that, I have no other family here other than my mom, dad, brother, and grandma. SO, I cannot go over to my cousins house and play dress up, or talk one on one, or go shopping with close family or friends because I don't have anyone.

    I have no friends. At school I am a loner because not a single person cares about what I have to say, so I sit alone away from everyone hoping that someday or one day someone will come and say hello and not ignore me, but I am slowly starting to think it will never happen.

    I have no house or apartment to live in. I have been living in someone's basement (apartment) for a year.

    All my hopes of becoming someone successful, living in a house, enjoying times with my friends, driving a new car, going to prom, relaxing in the summer, being together with my (whole) family, has been ruined.

    I can't cry because I have to be the older sibling for my brother and be strong. But I am tired of believing in God, after what's happened to me & my family. I pray night and day, but yet nothing good ever happens only the bad

    So, WHY DOES GOD HATE MY FAMILY? My other cousins don't live like this, and their parents don't work hard at all, they are just greedy and take everything from us. They rub it in our faces all the time. And yet, nothing happens to them. They don't get fired and they live their lives happily. Why does it happen to the good people like my mom and dad? They didn't do anything wrong.

  • How can I be happy in my pathetic life?

    I am just tired of crying, and being miserable. MY LIFE IS PATHETIC.

    I am currently living in someone's basement because my family cannot afford a house or apartment. My dad is in Calgary doing his intern and doesn't get a lot of money. My dad doesn't live with me and my family. My mom hasn't paid off her loans and I feel like we are going to go bankrupt. My mom is the sole earner of the family, and I just woke up today to find out she got laid off.

    Other than my mom or dad, I have no family here or anywhere that will give us money because all of my mom & dad's sisters and brothers are cheap and won't give us a cent.

    To tell you the truth, I have no friends either. I see kids playing and laughing who are my age, and I want to be like them. But I can't because I feel like they will just laugh at me once they know how poor & ugly & stupid & worthless I am.

    All my hopes and dreams are crushed because I have no money, and I feel like no future either. Some days, I cry because I feel like I will never make it in this world and I will be penniless and alone.

    Does anyone have any words of advice?

  • THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST DAY OF THE YEAR! help?!?

    I feel like crying, because I am so depressed today.

    Today has got to be the worst day ever because...

    I figured out that some girl asked my crush to prom and I feel like he's going to have sex for the first time with her - i really wanted to be his first.

    Then I just got back a test and I failed!

    It was raining when I walked home, so, I was covered in rain.

    I feel like I am going to fail all my exams

    and I HAVE NO FRIENDS... (just realized this today)

    and to top it all off... I sat on some gum, so I had gum stuck to my butt for the whole day (and believe me a lot of people saw because I have a huge butt). Which is so EMBARRASSING. Thank god half the school was away for prom, or else I would have died. But still, people saw it...

    How would you cope with such a bad day? Do you have any de-stressers?

    Anything would help... please... i don't feel like living anymore, my life is so pathetic

  • Why does No guy like me!!?

    I have been looked down upon, made fun of, laughed at, and ignored by every single guy I come across (except my own father, but he had no choice). The girls (I'm a girl btw), say I am nice, but whenever I talk to a guy, he just leaves me hanging and doesn't bother ever contacting me.

    I don't even know what I did wrong. It's starting to affect my emotions, and cause some negative thinking. I feel ugly because I feel like no guy will ever like me for me. Can someone help... (and please no negative comments because, I am depressed already).

  • is it wierd that I like being alone?

    My motto is I love being alone but I hate being lonely. And when I am with my friends, they ignore me, so I have decided to do things MY way, which is alone. Does it make me look terrible or unapproachable to guys?

    i thought being a loner made you more approachable? Can you shed some light? How do I make real friends anyways... friends that won't ignore me?

  • crush help... EASY 10 POINTS?

    Okay so I like this guy, and we go to the same school. Only today I saw him at the park playing basketball with his buddies when I was there walking.

    I don't have a problem with that but, after I was done walking around the park, I saw him turn his back towards me and bend over (showing me HIS BUTT)... and it's weird because no guy has ever done that to me. What does it mean because I am confused!

    And the sad thing is... i really badly wanted to tell him I liked him today... BUT something always comes up.. and I can't do it in front of his friends... :'( is there a way I can talk to him? Any suggestions?
