I was looking at my girlfriend's homework from some physics GER she's taking online. They're discussing Newton's Laws right now, and one of the questions on her assignment is:

"Is the force acting on a massive object larger than that acting on a less massive one? How can you verify this without taking any measurements?"

This was the answer she submitted:

"Force is measured as the product of an object's mass and its acceleration in the equation f=ma. Mass, being a factor in the equation, is in direct proportion to force, the product of the equation. Accepting this formula, we can therefore deduce without taking measurements that an increase in the mass of a moving object results in an increase in the force applied to it."

The answer makes sense, but is it really the best answer? For some reason, I feel like her response doesn't fully answer the question. It almost seems like kind of a cop out. Now, I don't know much about physics and haven't studied it since high school, so I can't really collect my thoughts on this. I don't know what her professor thought as she hasn't gotten a grade back yet. What do you guys think? Is there a better way to answer that question?

A coworker of mine is also a good friend of mine. We had an issue within the computer system regarding some charges. It was not his (or my, for that matter) job to understand or solve the issue, but I was bored and decided to work it out. When I figured it out, I muttered "Oh I get it, now" mostly to myself. He heard and asked me to explain the problem.

Now, he's a nice guy and I like him a lot, but he isn't too bright. I immediately knew he wouldn't understand my explanation, no matter how simply and articulately I could present it. I could either say, "you wouldn't understand" or try to explain it. I didn't want to sound like a jerk, so I began explaining it. I was actually pleased with how clear I was able to make my description, but he posed some questions lacking applicability, making it clear that he still didn't understand. So, I tried again. After about 10 minutes of this he got frustrated and gave up trying to understand.

I knew right away that he wouldn't get it, so what would you have done? Would you have risked being rude and told him that he wouldn't understand, or would you have spent the 10 minutes trying, knowing that it would only end with him feeling frustrated and embarrassed? Which is the worse of the two feelings: embarrassment at being told you wouldn't understand or embarrassment at actually not understanding?

I hope this question doesn't make me sound like a stuck-up jerk; I'm really not a jerk. I just can't get this situation out of my head and it's really bothering me. I'm wondering if I should have handled it differently. I just don't see a way to resolve it without him feeling embarrassed and frustrated. Hopefully one of you guys can shed some light on it for me.

Should the following sentence end with a question mark or a period? Thanks.

"We notice that the speaker cannot recall how he answered the question posed to him, was he going to the bazaar?"

or

"We notice that the speaker cannot recall how he answered the question posed to him, was he going to the bazaar."

I need help interpreting this quote. What does it mean and what does it refer to? Thanks.

A friend of mine is trying to get rid of a 6.6gal tank. I have one male and one female Betta in two separate 1gal tanks. If I took the 6.6gal and put them both in there could they coexist or would the male attack the female? Also, I am not interested in breeding...what would be the chances of that happening?

The old game tank wars for pc....is there any way to play a game similar to this online...a long distance friend and i are interested.
