actually this should be reverse if we consider the weights??

You have a misconception as to what an ozone layer is.  Ozone is a gas and is found throughout the atmosphere, even at ground level.  The ozone layer is the range in the atmosphere where ozone levels are the highest.  Oxygen O2 is present in the ozone layer as well (as are all other atmospheric gasses).  You should also note that in the ozone layer there isn't actually a whole lot of ozone, just more than there is anywhere else.  I think it's around 5 parts per million; meaning there is 1 molecule of ozone for every 200,000 other molecules.  There isn't a blanket of ozone, it's just an area where ozone is 5-10ppm instead of 1ppm or less.  \n\nWhy does most of it stay where it is?  Ozone is a somewhat unstable molecule and the same mechanism that typically forms ozone also breaks it down.  Simply, O2 gets hit by some photons of the right energy (some kind of UV light) and is split into O and O, one (or both) of those O's bonds to another O2 molecule to form O3, ozone.  Sooner or later, that O3 gets hit by the right energy of UV light and one of the O's break off to form O2 and a spare O which will find another O2 to bond with and repeat the cycle.  A small percent of the ozone does drop into the statosphere (where we live).

it could be if you were lifting something or lifting weights

emmmmmm\n\nd. its not a fuction of x in terms of y explicitly. It needs to be rearranged

Is this a trick-question?  LOL

First convert to improper fraction which will be 25/8,\nThen divide by 10 which will be 5/16 lbs each.

I think the point may be to use synthetic division.  Look that up in your text.

3 on one side, 3 on the other.\n\nIF they all balance, then the 2 left over has the lighter stone, just weigh and find out the lighter stone.\n\nIF they do NOT balance, then take the 3 that's lighter, take TWO stones from that group and weigh.\n\nIF they are balanced, the remaining stone from the 3 is the lighter stone.\n\nIf there's one that's lighter, then that's the stone you want.\n\nOnly two weighings in either case!

Yes, it would be more accurate, but the calculations are much harder. Whether it is worth it depends on what you have to do with the information. One thing that happens is 'frame dragging', where a rotating mass drags along space and time with the rotation. We now have a probe in orbit around the earth to measure exactly this phenomenon.

Balancing an egg on end at the equinoxes is pure baloney!\n\nhttp://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/egg_spin.html#badegg

in a sense everything you go by is moving in reverse....\nit is travling behind you and further away

big behind sometimes, yes.(with a balancing front).\nbig back? am thinking.

We think that the thing to do is weigh six balls against six balls, but if you think about it, this would give us no information the only different ball. As we already know that one side will be heavier than the other. \n\nSo that the following plan can be followed, let us number the balls from 1 to 12. For the first weighing let us put on the left pan balls 1,2,3,4 and on the right pan balls 5,6,7,8. \n\nThere are two possibilities. Either they balance, or they don't. If they balance, then the different balls is in the group 9,10,11,12. So for our second weighing we would put 1,2 in the left pan and 9,10 on the right. If these balance then the different ball is either 11 or 12. \n\nWeigh ball 1 against 11. If they balance, the different ball is number 12. If they do not balance, then 11 is the different ball. \n\nIf 1,2 vs 9,10 do not balance, then the different ball is either 9 or 10. Again, weigh 1 against 9. If they balance, the different ball is number 10, otherwise it is number 9. \n\nThat was the easy part. \n\nWhat if the first weighing 1,2,3,4 vs 5,6,7,8 does not balance? Then any one of these balls could be the different ball. Now, in order to proceed, we must keep track of which side is heavy for each of the following weighings. \n\nSuppose that 5,6,7,8 is the heavy side. We now weigh 1,5,6 against 2,7,8. If they balance, then the ball is either 3 or 4. Weigh 4 against 9, a known good ball. If they balance then the different ball is 3, otherwise it is 4. \n\nNow, if 1,5,6 vs 2,7,8 does not balance, and 2,7,8 is the heavy side, then either 7 or 8 is a different, heavy ball, or 1 is a different, light ball. \n\nFor the third weighing, weigh 7 against 8. Whichever side is heavy is the different ball. If they balance, then 1 is the different ball. Should the weighing of 1,5, 6 vs 2,7,8 show 1,5,6 to be the heavy side, then either 5 or 6 is a different heavy ball or 2 is a light different ball. Weigh 5 against 6. The heavier one is the different ball. If they balance, then 2 is a different light ball.

Unless you are talking about math then yes it is the opposite.

Division is opposite of multiplication.  Inverting a fraction creates the opposite function.

Sounds like a Math/Science type question to me. Why are you posting it here?\n\nBesides, I have the the slightest idea.

That would be a "random variable". So I guess other words of the puzzle might be wrong.

Well, that depends upon how one looks at MOVEMENT.  This is to say that though we tend to understand movement in relation to distance, to other objects, to speed, and so forth, when comparing movement in relation to the universe, the one all unifying factor of that which exists in a defined reality, actual movement becomes sort of relative, taking direction with it.\n\nBefore I pick out inherent directions of movement, let me explain a little of this subjective relativity.  What if I were to instead ask, "How much does the planet Earth weigh?"  This question similarly depends upon how one looks at the variable of weight.  See, if I ask how much a frying pan weighs or how much a barbell weighs, we can automatically presume that I am talking about its weight on Earth, how it is affected by the pull of the Earth's gravity.  So, how do we judge the pull of the Earth's gravity against the Earth itself?  Some would say you can't.  Others would maintain that the Earth itself weighs nothing, just floating in space.  Still others would determine the mass of the Earth against the pull of the sun's gravity.  Still others could match the whole solar system's weight against the pull of other systems or the pull or push from the center of the galaxy, thereafter attributing the very tiny percentage of mass for which the Earth is responsible in the equation.  Other folks would simply conceptually add up the mass of the planet and imagine what that mass would weigh if it were a great big ball sitting on our planet.  A few creative folks might pit our planet's mass against a gas giant like Jupiter, determining it's weight against that pull of gravity instead of the sun's, as if we were a theoretical super-satellite (moon) of another planet.  \n\nAll these subjective, objective, and conceptual differences come into play when we are talking about things greater than the finite.  Similar questions plague your query about movement.  So, there are not so many answers as there are different things to consider and different ways to look at it.  Here are a few options...\n\n1)  Relative to the sun, the Earth revolves.\n\n2)  Relative to its axis, the Earth rotates.\n\n3)  Relative to the plane of the solar system, the Earth wobbles on its axis.\n\n4)  Relative to a line between it’s own equator and a fixed point on the sun nearest us, the Earth tilts.\n\n5)  Relative in comparison to a planet that always has the same side facing the sun, like Mercury, or in other words, relative points on the surface of the Earth and the surface of the sun, the Earth is in an exaggerated or accelerated spin or spiral away from this presumed connector.\n\n6)  Relative to the galaxy, our solar system moves out from center in the Milky Way, the Earth moving with it.\n\n7)  Relative to other galaxies, our galaxy's mass gets caught in the collective gravitational pull of the mass of others, adjusting the direction and speed in which we travel as a galaxy and thereby affecting our solar system with Earth in it.\n\n8)  Relative to other stars in our galaxy, the Earth's proximity to the sun and small size seems more like a shake or a flicker than a revolution.\n\n9)  Relative to a center of the universe in a single big bang theory, everything, including us, moves on a vector out from center.\n\n10)  Relative to Einstein's use of LAMDA in an equation meant to unify his two theories of relativity; everything also collapses in toward center slightly in a very precise balance against the movement outward.\n\n11)  Relative to a multiple big bang theory, everything moves out from the last center of the last big bang, which in turn was already in a generalized outbound pattern from a previous big bang.\n\n12)  Relative to our branch in the implied spiral of the Milky Way Galaxy, a number of systems are moving in a sort of half-parabola ever slowing.\n\n13)  Relative to the idea of a unified greatness, like a universe, a single,
