I put this here because it is a Frequently Asked Question; I hear people asking it all the time! Why do we find slope by using rise over run and not run over rise?
Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. According to Einstein's famous equation E = mc squared, the energy (E) of a physical system is numerically equal to the product of its mass (m) and the speed of light (c) squared. It is customary to refer to this result as "the equivalence of mass and energy"; or simply ";mass-energy equivalence", because one can choose units in which c = 1, and hence E = m. An important consequence of E = mc squared is that a change in the rest-energy of a physical system is accompanied by a corresponding change to its inertial mass. See? Easy! How do I pronounce "FAQ" so that the teacher won't think I'm swearing? Sorry, can't help you there! Whud'up wit' de whole "Han shot first!" thing? In the original version of Star Wars, released in 1977, Han Solo blasts Greedo, Jabba the Hut's paid killer, before Greedo can draw his gun on him. Digital alterations made by George Lucas in the 1997 "20th anniversary" re- release of Star Wars show Greedo firing a shot first and Han somehow miraculously ducking the laserblast coming at him at light-speed, then returning fire and killing that slimeball Greedo. Forget for a moment the ludicrous (that's Ludacris for you hip-hop fans) possibility that a trained paid killer for the most vile gangster in the galaxy could miss his target from less than three feet away; true Star Wars fans know that Han Solo is a stone-cold killer who later becomes good by joining the Rebellion! He's not some wimpy milquetoast who'll nicely let a bounty hunter take a shot at him before firing back! He's a ruthless smuggler who shoots first in order to survive. That's the way it is in the "hive of scum and villainy" that is Mos Eisley. So true Star Wars fans, remembering that Solo was a stone-cold killer who later redeemed himself and ended up hangin' wit' Leia's too-cool fer old- school Rebel crew, shout in protest at any opportunity, "HAN SHOT FIRST!" Any scene showing otherwise is a LIE! |
