I'm simply stunned you actually admitted anything I said made any sense. So here is what you want.

As for the simple algebra, here it goes. Probably the most famous equation of all history was Einstein's E=MC2. Using that equation, why don't you tell me how much energy would be produced if you took 5 grams of matter and converted it 100% into energy. Be sure and use standard metric (SI) units for your answer.

Now there's good news and bad news. The good news is that this is really a simple problem. Definitely Algebra-1. The bad news is that if you get it wrong, it will be obvious to all.

I'll post the answer at 9am tomorrow, unless you post it first. Either way, I'll post the right answer. If you get it right, I will admit you are smarter than I thought.

---------------------------------------------------------
The real truth is simple--it's lies that are complicated.

Let me find a calculator since you are changing units to grams from kilograms and want SI and you combined metric and standard units in your problem(your mere fear of me working the problem is showing) and using the speed of light. Back in a bit Gumpy

I hope you do realize that this hypothetical problem is theoretical and not actually possible. Also, mixing units is not a simple manipulation of equations where you solve for an unknown variable. that was NOT a simple problem for a high school kid.

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

But actually, that IS an actual high school math problem. It's also possible to re-arrange that problem to solve for C, the speed of light by using the right units for E and M. That version of the problem is usually demo'ed by the teacher.

---------------------------------------------------------
The real truth is simple--it's lies that are complicated.

You were doing just fine and then you had to explain to all that you can actually manipulate an equation. We all know that.

You can do anything you want to an equation following two basic rules:

1) Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other (add, subtract, multiply, divide)

and

2) To move a variable or a quantity across the equal sign you must use the inverse operation on both sides. I.e.: Y=mx+b to solve for 'b' you would have to divide both sides by mx and your new equation would become: y/mx=b

Now, I realize this is a quick, easy, oversimplification but Gumpy, you have got to lose the arrogance or you and I will lock horns every time.

As for the problem you gave me, I did it for YOU not me. I know my equation was correct and I do not need an apple for my effort. Your simple problems have all been worked correctly by me and I too am bored of high school and middle school math problems that are poorly worded and poorly constructed.

If you would stop talking down to people like they are stupid - you would help yourself tremendously.

You were wrong about me doing algebra, half life, and about what I said about Ms. Pena/Valesco. When you can admit that you were wrong to attack me about my comments on Ms. Pena, we can move forward- until then, you have still not answered my Physics questions, and you have still not apologized.

You decide what the right thing to do is.

You converted grams to kilograms. That was the part that most people would have missed. Your answer is exactly right.

Mixer, you just might be smarter than a 5th grader. I stand corrected.

Of Course you added this remark so I will do the same:

I'll post the answer at 9am tomorrow, unless you post it first. Either way, I'll post the right answer. If you get it right, I will admit you are smarter than I thought.

Of course my answer was correct Gumpy, it was indeed a simple problem. I have now answered several of your question, and yet, you have not answered even one of mine completely.

Since you chose not to answer my previous questions I will give you another more simple question that any high school math teacher should be able to answer:

What will be the size of the magnetic field in the exact center between two parallel wires 1.1 inches apart when one wire carries 5,900 ma and the other carries 16,600 ma when the current travels in the opposite directions in the two wires?

Since you are big on one hour time limits, I’ll give you an hour too.

Oh, don't worry about '4' sig figs - unless you want to, I don't use them.

Check with your other teachers if you cannot solve the question.
---------------------------------------------------------------

As for the question you never answered:

My Question was:
If I add 2 neutrons to the nucleus of the Uranium -233 it becomes U-235. Yet, the energy released by these two is quite different and greater in the U-235 since it has a deeper nuclear potential well.

My questions then:

Will the two Uraniums deteriorate to become the same element? (you semi-answered this one from a google post)
Why or why not? (you ignored this one completely)
What does that prove about whether there is an 'end' or if they just get "smaller and smaller"?(you also ignored this one completely)

I actually did the entire calculations in my head using a half life of 28 years.

Do you now admit my answer was also correct then?

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

Do I have to compensate for the Lorentz force on the wire segments and do you want the answer in newton-seconds per coulomb meter?

Yes, make it teslas if you are that bored ... better yet, since surely you have better things to do than play these silly high school math games:

I have one of 'your type' of questions for you- (I REALLY like this one.)

Who do you support in the Hillary Clinton public demand for plans for withdrawal of American troops Iraq or the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Eric Edelman's position that "Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies," and why?

And for a bonus question:

Should George Bush pardon the two border agents, Jose Alonso Compean (12 years)and Ignacio Ramos (11 years), who are serving time for shooting a illegal alien and drug smuggler in the butt who was caught with over 750 lbs of marijuana and was brought to America to testify against them. they testified they thought he had a weapon.

I know what kind of questions you like 'Locke'.

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

I hope you don’t mind a nuanced answer (you know how we libs are). Hill did not make a public demand for plans for withdrawal; she asked if there was a plan. Edelman botched it in his reply because it gave Hill another platform. After much contemplation about this tempest in a teapot, my considered opinion is: a pox on both their houses. I support neither and while I think it is reasonable and necessary for the military to plan for all contingencies, I suspect that Hillary asked the question for political purposes (as hard as that might be to believe). Even knowing that you will be aghast at someone questioning her sincerity I am fairly firm in holding onto this suspicion. To be perfectly honest, you have asked me express support for one of two positions, both of which are, in my opinion, faulty. Thus the nuance.

Bonus question answer, but first more nuance: that it came to this is truly and sadly outrageous. Had it been up to me in the first place, I would have suspended them for a couple of weeks and told them to clean up their sloppy paperwork. Now that it has become a Federal case, I would commute the sentences so as not to stigmatize them with a pardon like Marc Rich got.

I'm glad you are here- stick around for a while and I'll try not to get banned. Cal just sent me a warning. Thankfully, you are smart enough not to exasperate me.

I think Hillary is exploiting (and publicizing) the conflict with Edelman to make up for her move to the right when she supported the Iraq invasion. I think Obama being to left of her makes her uncomfortable and it scares her. This demand for information (which she can get privately upon request) on a withdrawal plan makes her look like she is solidly in favor of pulling out and helps separate her from the 'pro-war' politicians. It reminds the voters in the primary that she is a 'lefty'.

We actually agree on the two border agents although I am not sure I would have suspended them unless it was with pay. I also have a problem with a commute as opposed to a pardon because of the felony conviction (I wouldn't want it staying with these two). While Bush is firing Attorney's, I would highly recommend he include Johnny Sutton (Johnny 'Satan' is his nick among Border Agents).

One of us is becoming more moderate. I hope it's not me!

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

Since I believe the whole thing was political, let me add some points in that arena. Edelman made three mistakes: the condescending tone of the reply may have offended other Senators (not fatal but a hazard in his line of work, and one to be avoided), the tone of the reply also led to his outing as a former aide to Cheney (always good for my side), and finally and by far most importantly (and sheer speculation on my part) he probably blindsided his boss Gates with the memo and I suspect if there are any consequences for him, it will be as a result of this. Gates probably reminded him in a very gentle way that he used to be an ambassador and DCM and perhaps it would be more advantageous to exploit his diplomatic skills when dealing with hostile opposition Senators. I'm sure there was a lot of nuance!

PS: I am very concerned about your bleeding heart tendencies with respect to pardons in lieu of your traditional rule-of-law stance. Next I'm afraid you'll be seen standing in the middle of the street with a sign saying "Free Abbie Hoffman."

You want all of this in an hour??? Well, first things first. Your question about the "size of the magnetic field" needs clarification. Do you mean actual size or do you mean "strength" of the field? A magnetic field has an indefinite size, and just gets attenuated as you get further from the center. There's no "end" to a magnetic field. And by the way, this is NOT a math question--it's a Physics question, and not very basic, either. No comparison with E=MC2.

As for the Uranium question, yes, uranium eventually decays into lead, and this can be used for radiometric dating over longer periods than carbon-14, because the rate of decay is slower. I don't know the exact isotopes involved in each case, nor do I care. What I WILL tell you is that there is NO end. As I already said before, it keeps dividing the remaining amount of the original isotope in half. It keeps getting smaller and smaller, but there will always be some trace of the original isotope remaining. It will just get too small to measure, but there will always be a few atoms left that did not decay.

Your Strontium answer was incorrect. You said 27 years, which was a pretty good estimate, but if you use a calculator, the correct answer was about 28.2 years. Your answer was supposed to be "to the nearest year". That would have been 28.

Well, that's all I can do in an hour.
.
.
---------------------------------------------------------
The real truth is simple--it's lies that are complicated.

I certainly would not ask you a question that "needs clarification." Since you believe " A magnetic field has an indefinite size, and just gets attenuated as you get further from the center. We could only be talking about a field's 'magnitude'.

I assume you are referring to the Inverse Square Law.

My answer for your question on Strontium was correct using the half life of 28 years.

Regardless, in your blog you stated:

"You said 27 years, which was a pretty good estimate, but if you use a calculator, the correct answer was about 28.2 years. Your answer was supposed to be "to the nearest year". That would have been 28."

Not correct Gump. I said, and I quote: "the correct answer of 47 years, +/- one year."

I added that "I actually did the entire calculations in my head using a half life of 28 years."

In your incorrect response to ONE more part (now two of three) of my questions you stated: "As for the Uranium question, yes, uranium eventually decays into lead, and this can be used for radiometric dating over longer periods than carbon-14, because the rate of decay is slower. I don't know the exact isotopes involved in each case, nor do I care. What I WILL tell you is that there is NO end. As I already said before, it keeps dividing the remaining amount of the original isotope in half. It keeps getting smaller and smaller, but there will always be some trace of the original isotope remaining. It will just get too small to measure, but there will always be a few atoms left that did not decay.

I recommend you learn more about radioactive isotopes and how atoms are constructed if you truly believe this.

You may wish to begin here.

The entire process works much differently than you apparently realize. Even a Proton (which is composed of quarks) has a half-life.

Again, you have not answered any of my questions. Don't bother. The mere fact that you cannot admit when you are wrong or I am right tells me you have no class and are immature.

You are right about this much: this conflict started first when you challenged my military service - you don't remember that but I do.

Then you again challenged me and insulted me when I passed information along as rumor regarding your assistant principal's DUI and reputation.

You challenged nearly everything after that and insulted me and my family (including the number of troop deaths that Denise defended as accurate) and I did not respond. (You called me a PHd in B.S. on that blog).

You also talked about my deceased mother the weekend she died.

Just yesterday you claimed I "couldn't even do simple algebra" ...and pretty much challenged everything else I have blogged about.

You even interjected in to an oversimplified statement I made to dollar to start this one-sided 'math challenge'.

You eventually asked me a difficult "algebra 1" problem, which was not difficult for me but certainly was not a "simple" algebra problem, and I answered it in six minutes. That was the third time I answered your questions and yet, you have not answered mine.

And here we are.

None the less, you know as well as I do that everything I said I had heard about Ms. Pena/Ms. Valesco (and more), which I identified as 'rumor' since I was/am unwilling to name my sources, is true and has been substantiated by others on this site.

Yet, no admittance of error or apology for calling me a "character assassin" taking "cheap shots", and "hiding behind an anonymous moniker" was offered.

To compound the problem, when others spoke of Ms. Valesco/Ms. Pena's 'issues' you had no comment or criticism. You went so far as to lie and(wrongly) accuse me of being the user 'eggbeater' to prevent her blog from having any credibility.

Tell me again, what was my part in this problem you are having?

Again, I fight back Gump - every time. Combat Controllers are like that.

Forget the math/physics questions I asked you - you can't answer them.

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

For "BS in motion". You keep jumping around on various subjects with enough mixed up assertions and baffle everybody with your BS, and hope that people lose track of what was originally said.

Let's do one thing at a time. First, the Strontium-90 problem. I had thrown my notes on that problem away, and I was under the "one hour" time limit to answer several things, so I answered off the top of my head and got 28 crossed with 48. That's a typo. Bottom line--you were off by 1 year. Here's the formula: 20 = 63(e^-.0238T), where ^ means "raised to the power" and T= time in years. You divide both sides by 63, then take the ln of both sides, and you get T = 48.21. With all your personal contacts that you are always talking about, surely one of them is a math or physics teacher, and they can verify what I have written here. The same goes for the carbon-14 problem and for radioactive decay. Any science/math teacher will verify my statements on that.

Second, your electromagnetism question. I have the current high school physics book for Fayette county, and this is not a high school physics problem, it is a college-level physics problem. Be that as it may, the answer to the magnetic field's strength in between the wires is that the two fields are in opposite directions, so they will tend to cancel each other out in the middle, except that one field is more powerful than the other. The net effect will be 1.532e-4 Telsa. If you have a different answer, be sure and actually explain it like I did the Strontium problem.

As for the rest, you are once again engaging in personal attacks. I was trying to bury the hatchet, but you keep indulging in personal attacks on me, on Mrs. Pina, on David's Mom, and on Dollar. When somebody lashes back, then you take offense. I never would have said anything about your military career if you hadn't made some insulting remarks about me to begin with. You can sure dish it out, but you are thin-skinned when it comes back at you.

I didn't come to this website to engage in endless flame wars. That's all I have to say.
.

---------------------------------------------------------
The real truth is simple--it's lies that are complicated.

You have to look in books for similar problems and you are a High School Math Teacher? It took you over 5 hours Gumpy. You failed.

I guess that explains why WHS has the lowest scores.

For "BS in motion". You keep jumping around on various subjects with enough mixed up assertions and baffle everybody with your BS, and hope that people lose track of what was originally said.

And then you, being the idiotic hypocrite that you are, you say:

"First, the Strontium-90 problem. I had thrown my notes on that problem away, and I was under the "one hour" time limit to answer several things, so I answered off the top of my head and got 28 crossed with 48. That's a typo. Bottom line--you were off by 1 year.

Uh, who's trying to baffle whom Gumpy? You 'forgot'? You 'threw away the notes'? You 'got the year wrong'? It was a 'typo'? Who said within a year - then got the answer from me - and then cried 'fowl' about significant figures? Sorry Gumpy - You are indeed a liar and a hypocrite.

And then after I have already worked the problem, and gave you the correct answer, you do this bit of condescending 'baffling BS':

Here's the formula: 20 = 63(e^-.0238T), where ^ means "raised to the power" and T= time in years. You divide both sides by 63, then take the ln of both sides, and you get T = 48.21.

You must be kidding me.... Duh!

Are you really so arrogant and ignorant that you think people are working these problems in their heads (like I did) but somehow can't plug and chug?? I think I already gave you the keys to solving algebraic equations in a previous blog. In fact I am sure I did - look up. God help the kids at Whitewater. They have a drunken adulteress for an AP and an idiot for a Geometry/Algebra II teacher.

As for your comments that:With all your personal contacts that you are always talking about, surely one of them is a math or physics teacher, and they can verify what I have written here. The same goes for the carbon-14 problem and for radioactive decay. Any science/math teacher will verify my statements on that. You mean Like Darren Handley, or Sandy Powers? Greg Stillions? Sam Sweat? John DeCotis? Or perhaps you want me to ask you. You sound like some self absorbed idiot with an Internet Master's from the University of Phoenix 'online'. I guess asking Ms. Mary Ann 'hic' Pena is out ... tell me Alice, who would you have me ask? Mike Vena? I'll ask for you.

Then you say:

Second, your electromagnetism question. I have the current high school physics book for Fayette county, and this is not a high school physics problem, it is a college-level physics problem.

Oh, did I say somewhere that I was giving you a public school problem? No, I didn't. I said it was 'simple'. You need to get out more Alice.

Be that as it may, the answer to the magnetic field's strength in between the wires is that the two fields are in opposite directions, so they will tend to cancel each other out in the middle, except that one field is more powerful than the other. The net effect will be 1.532e-4 Telsa. If you have a different answer, be sure and actually explain it like I did the Strontium problem. I have the same answer Gumpy but I didn't spend the day attempting to find a book with a similar problem. Should I ask what happens if the current flows in the same direction? You are soooo easily manipulated. You must be Portuguese or maybe - Italian?.

So, did you ever solve this: BBROYGBVGW ??

As for the rest, you are once again engaging in personal attacks. I was trying to bury the hatchet, but you keep indulging in personal attacks on me, on Mrs. Pina, on David's Mom, and on Dollar. When somebody lashes back, then you take offense. (DUH??)

And the biggest lie you have ever told here is this one:

"I never would have said anything about your military career if you hadn't made some insulting remarks about me to begin with.

Okay Alice, the first time I ever spoke to you, was to respond to you. You butted in on a conversation (as usual) and asked what gave me the right to my opinion, insinuating yours was more valuable because you 'served'. You rhetorically asked 'where did I serve'? What had I done for my country? I slammed you on it and you then asked me to please 'seriously' answer a question on who outed Valarie Plame (Duh). I have thought you were and ignorant little twerp every since and you never failed to reinforce my suspicions.

In fact, you remind me of the character from Saturday night live - Stewart.

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

We all know that.

Please stop talking about basic simple equations like you are the only one in the world that can work them. No one is impressed.

I repeat:

You can do anything you want to an equation following two basic rules:

1) Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other (add, subtract, multiply, divide)

and

2) To move a variable or a quantity across the equal sign you must use the inverse operation on both sides. I.e.: Y=mx+b to solve for 'b' you would have to divide both sides by mx and your new equation would become: y/mx=b

Now, I realize this is a quick, easy, oversimplification but Gumpy, you have got to lose the arrogance or you and I will lock horns every time.

Look, I said "I stand corrected." about you not knowing algebra. I was trying to be positive and friendly in my tone. You WERE wrong about that half-life problem, but it's NO BIG DEAL! By the way, the curve for exponential growth or decay is NOT a parabola; it looks similar, but not the same. Again, no big deal.

The real issue between us has always been your treatment of Mrs. Pina. She was already in deep trouble with the DUI arrest. I'm sure you believe your sources, but it was still hearsay, and it was unnecessary and cruel to bring that stuff up at that time. My original intent was not to "attack" you, it was to get you to stop smearing her name in public. I AM sorry that the whole thing turned so ugly. Part of that was my blame, part was yours. If you are willing to admit that part of it was your fault, then I'll admit that I too was at fault. At this point, I would be happy to put the whole thing behind us. What say you?

As for the physics problem, I thought I did answer it. Why don't you re-post it (the part you say I didn't answer) and I'll take my best shot.

Mostly white guys in pastel with white pants on hanging on each other on the street corners ... oh, and I did see parking lots with a lot of expensive cars in apartment complexes with fancy wheels and people just hanging out ... on a weekday ... in the middle of the day... in the apartment parking lot .... with gold teeth ... and wheels that turned even when the car was standing still ... with a nicer Lexus than mine... and new sneakers.... white ones .... and long 'T' shirts ... and a really loud, low frequency rattle .... and did I say just hanging out? In the middle of the day?

I’m not exactly sure what that dope Nagin meant by “chocolate city”, but the last time I was in New Orleans, about 4 months ago, the ONLY people I saw doing ANY of the reconstruction work on the streets were Hispanic. Not a single exception. Could that be what he meant?

what he was talking about is that a lot of people are Creole...and that the whites and the blacks have a shared history there. You would have to be from that area to understand. He also meant if the whites n blacks came back it would be chocolate, not white, not black, chocolate. I like the man's sense of humor, I really loved it when he was talking about Bush flying over in his 'pimp mobile'.

elected official and wants to please his constitutes who live on the government dole already. I wish I knew how to stop it.
