  • I have a question about general relativity for an Astronomy study guide?

    A simple result of General Relativity is that light observed to have cosmological redshift z was emitted when things were 1 + z times closer together than at the present time. Thus, if a galaxy's spectrum shows a redshift of 3, we know that, compared to today, that galaxy was _____ times closer to us, and the original wavelength of its light was ____ by the same factor as it traveled to us.

    a. 2... shortened

    b. 4... shortened

    c. 2... lengthened

    d. 4... lengthened

  • What is KC on my heart rate monitor?

    I got a heart rate monitor for Christmas and it has a calorie counter to tell you how many calories you burn. When I go to the mode it says the number followed by KC. I assumed it was kilo-calorie but I've read that 1 KC = a thousand calories. During my workout today I burned over 500 KC, which would be 500 thousand calories. Can't be right. What is KC? I have a Sportline heart rate monitor with a chest strap. Thank you!

  • What is the name of this card game?

    There is this fun card game that I've been playing for a few years but I have no idea what it is called. You need at least two people to play. Each player gets 10 cards and lays them face down in front of them in two rows of five and the remainder of the cards are in the draw pile. You draw a card and put it in the spot it is supposed to go in front of you. For example if you draw an ace you take the top left card and lay the ace in its place face up. If the card that was there is a five put it where the fifth card spot is. If there is an ace there your turn is over because you already have an ace and it goes in the discard pile for the next person's turn.

    King can be any card

    Queen can steal other people's cards

    And Jacks end your turn because they don't do anything

    The object of the game is to get ace through ten in your cards.

    Does anybody know what the name of this game is? Basically I want to know so I can search for an iPhone app.

  • Are there any jobs that do not care at all about texting or Internet surfing?

    Does anybody have a job where they do not care if you text or surf the Internet as long as you get your work done? Where I work at this lady got fired because she was texting all the time but she apparently was the best worker in that position that this place has had. I feel like companies shouldn't care as long as they get their work done or if they have some down time. But then again I'm an empoyee, not a manager of a company so maybe I just don't fully understand the concept of the no texting rule in the workforce.
