But then if the acceleration is 20, then 50/20 = 2.5N

Then... Momentum is 2.5 x 80 which is 200P.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around

Tired of livin' in your one-horse town

Like to find a little hole in the ground

For a while



So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans

And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens

It's just like some pornographic magazine

And you smile



Captain Jack will get you high tonight

And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight

Just a little push and you'll be smilin'



Your sister's gone out. She's on a date

You just sit at home and ---------

The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait

For that call



So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes

And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes

But still your finger's gonna pick your nose

After all

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

careless talk

That's what you heard about me

Jealous talk

That's what I heard about you

Everybody's telling lies

I don't even know why

Why can't people

Find something better to do



Careless talk

I don't believe what they say

I heard them talk

They say you've been putting me down

In the shadows on the phone

They won't leave us alone

They've been talking

Ever since you came around



Careless talk

Telling you I'm doing wrong

Jealous talk

Follows wherever you go



I'm aware of what you heard

Every terrible word

Everybody's making believe that they know

All of the intimate things

That we ever might have said



In the heat of a passionate moment

In a conversation shared

For the ears of nobody else

There are some things they will never hear

There are secrets I'll never tell



Careless talk

Going around on the streets

Jealous talk

I know how bad it can be



Let them stand where they fall

They don't know us at all

All that talking won't make a difference to me

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Let me tell you a story

About a woman and a man

Maybe you will find familiar

Maybe you won't understand



The man's name I don't remember

He was always Joe to me

But I can't forget the woman

She was always Christie Lee



He was working in a night club

That's where he played the saxophone

He used to fake to stock arrangements

He left the customers alone



But one night before the last song

About a quarter after three

He saw her standing at the coat check

And made his move on Christie Lee



Christie Lee, Christie Lee

Christie Lee, Christie Lee



She was a nice piece of music

She had a rhythm all her own

He blew a solo like a blind man

She really dug his saxophone



She wanted more than just an encore

And he could play in every key

He left the stage and packed his alto

And he took it home with Christie Lee



Oh I heard the man knew "the Bird" like the bible

You know the man could blow an educated axe

He couldn't see that Christie Lee was a woman

Who didn't need another lover

All she wanted was the sax



It took a while for him to notice

It took a while for him to see

He was never in control here

It was always Christie Lee



Christie Lee, Christie Lee

Christie Lee, Christie Lee



Oh the man took a calculated gamble

Yes the man had the power to perform

But Christie Lee was more than he knew how to handle

She didn't need him as a man

All she wanted was the horn



They say that Joe became a wino

They say he always drinks alone

They say he stumbles like a blind man

They say he sold his saxophone



Even the band must face the music

That's what the moral is to me

The only time you hit the high note

Is when you play for Christie Lee



Christie Lee, Christie Lee

Christie Lee, Christie Lee

 

[marypops!]

Well, I think I have the right answer, because it says in the question that the object is initially at rest.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Blackout, heatwave, .44 caliber homicide

The bums drop dead and dogs go mad

In packs on the West Side

Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide

She wants to hit those bricks

'Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline

While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place

The bag ladies throw their bones in my face

I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound

I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down

Life is tough but it's just enough

To hold back the tears until it's closing time

I survived, I'm still alive

But I'm getting close to the borderline

Close to the borderline



A buck three eighty

Won't buy you much lately on the street these days

And when you can get gas

You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways

Rich man, poor man, either way American

Shoved into the lost and found

The no nuke yell we're gonna all go to hell

With the next big meltdown

I got remote control and a color T.V.

I don't change channels so they must change me

I got real close friends that will get me high

They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try

I shouldn't *****, I shouldn't cry

I'd start a revolution but I don't have time

I don't know why I'm still a nice guy

But I'm getting close to the borderline

Close to the borderline



I thought I'd sacrifice so many things

I thought I'd throw them all away

I didn't think I needed anything

But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay



I need a doctor for my pressure pills

I need a lawyer for my medical bills

I need a banker to finance my home

I need security to back my loan

It isn't new what I'm going through

But everybody knows you got to break sometime

Another night I fought the good fight

But I'm getting closer to the borderline

Closer to the borderline.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Everybody's got a million questions

Everybody wants to know the score

What you went through

It's something you

Should be over now



Everybody wants to hear the secrets

That you never told a soul before

And it's not that strange

Because it wouldn't change

what happened anyhow



But you swore to yourself a long time ago

There were some things that people never needed to know

Guess there's one that you keep

That you bury so deep

No one can tear it out



And you can't talk about it

Because you're following a code of silence

You're never gonna to lose the anger

You just deal with it a different way



And you can't talk about it

And isn't that a kind of madness

To be living by a code of silence

When you've really got a lot to say



You don't want to lose a friendship

There's nothing that you have to hide

And a little dirt

Couldn't hurt no one anyway



And you still have a rage inside you

That you carry with a certain pride

In the only part of the broken heart

That you could ever save



But you've been through it once

You know how it ends

You don't see the point

Of going through it again

And this ain't the place

And this ain't the time

And neither's any other day



So you can't talk about it

Because you're following a code of silence

You're never gonna to lose the anger

You just deal with it a different way



So you can't talk about it

And isn't that a kind of madness

To be living by a code of silence

When you've really got a lot to say



I know you well enough to tell you've got your reasons

That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break

Some things unknown are best left alone forever

And if a vow is what it takes

Haven't you paid for your mistakes



After the moment passes

And the impulse disappears

You can still hold back

Because you don't crack very easily



It's a time honored resolution

Because the danger is always near

It's with you now

But that ain't how it was supposed to be



And it's hard to believe after all these years

That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears

And you feel like a fool

Because it's part of your rules

You've got a memory



But you can't talk about it

Because you're following a code of silence

You're never gonna to lose the anger

You just deal with it a different way



But you can't talk about it

And isn't that a kind of madness

To be living by a code of silence

When you've really got a lot to say

 

[Disney Princess Elli]

i'm back - just had a roast dinner!

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

All the waiters in your grand cafe

Leave their tables when you blink

Every dog must have his everyday

Every drunk must have his drink

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why



All you life you had to stand in line

Still you're standing on your feet

All your choices made you change your mind

Now your calender's complete

Don't wait for answers

Just take your chances

Don't ask me why



You can say the human heart

Is only make-believe

And I am only fighting fire with fire

But you are still a victim

Of the accidents you leave

As sure as I'm a victim of desire



All the servants in your new hotel

Throw their roses at your feet

Fool them all but baby I can tell

You're no stranger to the street

Don't ask for favors

Don't talk to strangers

Don't ask me why



Yesterday you were an only child

Now your ghosts have gone away

You can kill them in the classic style

Now you, "parlez vous francais"

Don't look for answers

You took your chances

Don't ask me why

Don't ask me why

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"

And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound

I have chartered a course to the Vineyard

But tonight I am Nantucket bound



We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday

And left this morning from the bell in Gardner's Bay

Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home

Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone



So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"

And I go where the ocean is deep

There are giants out there in the canyons

And a good captain can't fall asleep



I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes

I know there's fish out there but where God only knows

They say these waters aren't what they used to be

But I've got people back on land who count on me



So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"

And if you work with the rod and the reel

Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis

And I still have my hands on the wheel



Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"

More and more miles from shore every year

Since they told me I can't sell no stripers

And there's no luck in swordfishing here



I was a bayman like my father was before

Can't make a living as a bayman anymore

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea

But there ain't no island left for islanders like me

 

[marypops!]

What is the difference between speed & velocity when you use the same formula to get there, and the same symbol to describe each (well, m/s, not s or v)

According to some website, speed is the rate of change of distance with time, and velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time...

 

[Smiley.Socks]

Grr.
MSN keeps freezing up my computer.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

you don't have to talk all night

I'm a man who can't say no

You don't have to twist my arm

Just point me where you want to go



Take me to the action

Take me to the track

Take me to a party if they're bettin' in the back

I've been working all my life

Can't afford to wait

Let me call my wife so I can tell her I'll be late



I want the easy

Easy money

Easy money

I could get lucky

Oh, things could go right



I want the easy

Easy money

Easy money

Maybe this one time

Maybe tonight



You don't have to try too hard

I don't need a song and dance

I don't need an invitation

If you've got a game of chance



Take me to the tables

Take me to the fights

Run me like the numbers

Roll me like the dice



When you're counting on a killing

Always count me in

Talk me into losin' just as long as I can win



I want the easy

Easy money

Easy money

I want the good times

Oh, I never had



I want the easy

Easy money

I want the good life

I want it bad



Easy money

You say I fool myself

But better me than being a fool for someone else

I got a hot slot machine of a system

Ready to go



Easy money

I got a one-track mind

And a good reputation laying on the line

I'll either come back a bum or a king

Baby I don't know



You don't have to start a fight

I'm a man who can't say no

If you've got a little risky business

Just point me where you want to go



Take me to the power

Take me to the heat

Take me to the cleaners

If it's open to the street



Something's got to pay off

Something's got to break

Someone's got a fortune that they're begging

Me to take



I want the easy

Easy money

Easy money

I could get lucky

Things could go right



I want the easy

Easy money

Easy money

Maybe just this time

Oh maybe tonight



Easy money

Oh I don't want no hard cash

I just want the easy money

I could get lucky

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another serenader

And another long-haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you'll forget my name

And I won't be here in another year

If I don't stay on the charts



I am the entertainer

And I've had to pay my price

The things I did not know at first

I learned by doin' twice

Ah, but still they come to haunt me

Still they want their say

So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants

I let 'em rub my neck and I write 'em a check

And they go their merry way



I am the entertainer

Been all around the world

I've played all kinds of palaces

And laid all kinds of girls

I can't remember faces

I don't remember names

Ah, but what the hell

You know it's just as well

'Cause after a while and a thousand miles

It all becomes the same



I am the entertainer

I bring to you my songs

I'd like to spend a day or two

But I can't stay that long

No, I've got to meet expenses

I got to stay in line

Gotta get those fees to the agencies

And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay

So I just don't have the time



I am the entertainer

I come to do my show

You've heard my latest record

It's been on the radio

Ah, it took me years to write it

They were the best years of my life

It was a beautiful song

But it ran too long

If you're gonna have a hit

You gotta make it fit

So they cut it down to 3:05



I am the entertainer

The idol of my age

I make all kinds of money

When I go on the stage

Ah, you've seen me in the papers

I've been in the magazines

But if I go cold I won't get sold

I'll get put in the back in the discount rack

Like another can of beans



I am the entertainer

And I know just where I stand

Another serenader

And another long-haired band

Today I am your champion

I may have won your hearts

But I know the game, you'll forget my name

I won't be here in another year

If I don't stay on the charts

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

While in these days of quiet desperation

As I wander through the world in which I live

I search everywhere for some new inspiration

But it's more than cold reality can give

If I need a cause for celebration

Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind

I rely on my imagination

And I dream of an imaginary time



CHORUS

I know that everybody has a dream

Everybody has a dream

And this is my dream, my own

Just to be at home

And to be all alone...with you



If I believe in all the words I'm saying

And if a word from you can bring a better day

Then all I have are these games that I've been playing

To keep my hope from crumbling away

So let me lie and let me go on sleeping

and I will lose myself in palaces of sand

and all the fantasies that I have been keeping

Will make the empty hours easier to stand



CHORUS

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Baby all the lights are turned on you

Now you're in the center of the stage

Everything revolves on what you do

Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age



And you can always have your way somehow

But everybody loves you now



You can walk away from your mistakes

You can turn your back on what you do

Just a little smile is all it takes

Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too



Loneliness will get to you somehow

But everybody loves you now



Ah, they all want your white body

And they await your reply

Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry

So do I



All the people want to know your name

Soon there will be lines outside your door

Feelings do not matter in your game

Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore



So your life is only living anyhow

And everybody loves you now



Close your eyes when you don't want to see

Stay at home when you don't want to go

Only speak to those who will agree

Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know



You have lost you innocence somehow

But everybody loves you now



Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever

And it's all been done before

Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor

No more



See how all the people gather 'round

Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl?

Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down

Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall



This is what you wanted; ain't you proud?

'Cause everybody loves you now

Decembers - Hawthorne Heights

Lets to try to remember these days back in December
Our lives were very different
I was lonely when we first met
A small upstairs apartment
Driving through the darkness before they even knew you were gone

 

[MuskratSusie]

You don't even have to speak because I can hear your heartbeat
Fluttering like butterflies searching for a drink
You don't have to cover up how you feel when your in love
I'll always know im not enough to even make you think

 

[MuskratSusie]

Please slow down girl
We're moving way to fast for their world
We gotta make this last
