Open Question: an answer to the tree riddle?
From: http://thinks.com/riddles/tree.htm This multiple riddle dates from the 19th. century. To solve it completely, you are required to identify 65 names of trees. Even we don't know every the answers. ****** What's the sociable tree, and the dancing tree, And the tree that is nearest the sea; The most yielding tree, the busiest tree, And the tree where ships may be? The languishing tree, the least greedy tree, And the tree that bears a curse; The chronologist's tree, the fisherman's tree, And the tree like an Irish nurse? The tell-tale tree, and the traitor tree, And the tree that's the warmest clad; The layman's restraint, and the housewife's tree, And the tree that makes one unhappy? The tree that with death befrights you, The tree that your wants would supply, The tree that to travel invites you, And the tree that forbids you to die? The tree that will battle, and the tree that obeys you, And the tree that never stands still; The tree that got up, and the tree that is lazy, And the tree neither up nor down hill? The tree to be kissed, and the dandiest tree, The tree guiding ships to go forth; The tree of the people, the unhealthiest tree, And the tree whose wood faces north? The tree in a battle, the tree in a fog, And the tree that bids the joints pain; The terrible tree when schoolmasters flog, And the tree a mom and child do name. The emulous tree, the industrious tree, And the tree that warms mutton when icy; The reddest brown tree and the reddest blue tree, And the tree one becomes ere one's old? The treacherous tree, the contemptible tree, The tree to which wines are inclined; The tree that causes each townsman to flee, And what round fair ankles are twined? The tree that's entire, and the tree that is split, The tree half given by doctors when sick; The tree that we offer to friends when we meet, And the tree we may use as a quill? The tree that's immortal, and the trees that are not, And the tree that must pass through the flame; The tree that in Latin can ne'er be forgot, <-------------- And in English we every most admire? The Egyptian plague tree, the tree that is dear, And what round itself doth entwine; The tree that in billiards must ever be close, And the tree that by Cockneys is turned into wine? ********************* so my point of posting this on YA is that i think i may have figured out one of the tree names that is not figured on the web site. (if you go to the web sites there are hyper links that show the answers to most of the trees))) anyhow. this line The tree that in Latin can ne'er be forgot, And in English we every most admire? i think the answer could be an Ash tree. Examples are Æ/æ (from AE, called "ash" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet thoughts/ comments... i got lucky really. it was the sentence about Latin that got me thinking. so i got on wikipedia and looked up the latin alphabet, and then any word that sounded like a tree name-- thus ASH =D

If you have a billiard ball of mass 90g (0.09kg) confined to a billiard table of dimension 1m use heisenburg's uncertainty principle to find the minimum velocity of the ball? i looked up heisenburg's uncertainty principle: (delta x )(delta p) > = h bar/2 using h bar/2 = 5.27 x 10^-35 (where h bar = planck's constant/ 2pi) my answer for the velocity doesnt seem right please help i'm a little confused ---> delta p is change in momentum which is change in mass X velocity

Resolved Question: Chemistry Help please!!! Kinetic energy of a rolling billiard ball...?
The kinetic energy of a rolling billiard ball is given by KE=1/2mv^2. Suppose a 0.17-kg billiard ball is rolling down a pool table with an initial speed of 4.7m/s. As it travels, it loses some amount of energy as heat. The ball slows down to 3.7m/s and then collides straight-on with a second billiard ball of equal mass. The first billiard ball completely stops and the second one rolls away with a velocity of 3.7m/s. Assume the first billiard ball is the system. Find for the process: w= ? J q= ? J delta E= ? J Thanks so much for help!

A ball rolls across the top of a billiard table and slowly comes to a cease. How would Aristotle interpret this observation? How would Galileo interpret it? 1. Aristotle would say that the ball comes to relax because the ball seeks its natural state of relax. Galileo would likely have said it comes to relax because of some forces acting on it; likely friction between the ball and table surface and with the air. 2. every are wrong. 3. Galileo would say that the ball comes to relax because the ball seeks its natural state of relax. Aristotle would likely have said it comes to relax because of some forces acting on it; likely friction between the ball and table surface and with the air. 4.
