Rule

Question: What is the rule on physical contact of teachers with students? I've heard that the general rule is no physical contact is to be made with students at all. But what falls under this? Because I have had teachers put a hand on my back, and an arm around my shoulder, it has been perfectly innocent and friendly. I am just curious as to where the rules fall. I mean it is clear what would be appropriate and what wouldn't be, but is there a rule like this? Thanks.

Answer: The official answer will vary from district to district and state to state. A pat on the back/head/arm/etc. is 99.9% of the time TOTALLY innocent--it's just a way to say "Good job" or "I'm proud of you". A little physical contact can be very reassuring to a kid--let's them know that their teacher genuinely cares about them. It also depends a lot on the relationship that a student and teacher have with one another. You wouldn't pat a student on the back that you didn't know, just as you wouldn't do it to a stranger on the street. Students/teachers with good relationships would know that any type of brief "nice work" or "good game" contact isn't anything more than an adult caring for and nurturing a child--they wouldn't read into it the wrong way.

Question: What the rule of thumb for calibrating digital multimeters? Hmm, I asked a minute ago but the question was deleted. We are allowed to ask about the tools of the engineering trade here, are we not? I heard a rule describing the what type of meter is required when calibrating a multimeter... For instance, do I need to use a meter with 2x the accuracy to calibrate another meter? I know there's a "rule of thumb here," just need to be reminded what it is. Thanks.

Answer: I do not know the specifics, but you send the unit to the calibration lab to get is calibrated. They will adjust it with higher precision equipment that is set to NIST Standards. This site should be useful. specifically the link "electromagnetic"

So can someone please tell me one? For example, if a ground state electron is excited to the fifth energy level, what rule can I use to work out how many possible downward transitions there are? The answer is 10. Thanks in advance. 10 points for best answer!

Answer: thanks for the best answer mate i'm footy prince

Question: What is the rule about attacking a severed volleyball that hits the net? Volleyball rule: A ball is served to your team but the ball hits the top of the net and continues over to you. A person may not attack the ball that clears the net but what is the rule when the ball hits the net on the serve? Can a player return the ball in that situation? I was told that the net makes the served ball a dead ball for a serve and can be returned as a normal ball sent over the net.

Answer: It is still a served ball, and should be treated the same as the one that cleared the net.

Question: What is the rule when writing a sentence with a series of modifiers? What is the rule in the arrangement of words? In this example: The beautiful Asian girl walked gracefully on the catwalk. Why can't the word "Asian" be before the word "girl"? Sometimes I see, adverbs placed before verbs, like "gracefully walked". Is there really a rule in terms of sequence, because it can become confusing when there is more than 2 modifiers in a series. Possible modifiers in a series are color, texture, origin for things. Possible modifiers in a series for a person are age, gender, country of origin, personal appearance.

Answer: "Asian" is before "girl," in the example sentence and in your question. Adverbs are the most easily moved parts of speech--they can go before, after, or sometimes much after. The order of a series of adjectives describing an object is more complicated and something most native speakers--including me-- cannot tell you without a textbook. I looked around for the one I used to teach this pattern, but, alas...I can't locate it. I think if you write out some phrases, you'll see the rules. You can do this as well as anyone else. Start with "beautiful Asian girl." Here, I found this on my first try: http://web2.uvcs.uvic.ca/elc/studyzone/4…

Question: Does the 6month rule on Drivers permit start the day you got it or the month after? I've been trying to figure out if the 6 month rule on Drives permit started the day you got your permit or the month after.

Answer: Starts the day you got it.. its good until October 6th

Question: Is the eggshell skull rule fair to defendants? Why should someone who has caused a possibly minor injury be? Is the "eggshell skull" rule fair to defendants? Why should someone who has caused a possibly minor injury be subjected to liability for unforeseeable consequences just because they are of the same general type as the injury he could foresee? Why doesn't the same rule apply to property damage?

Answer: I think it is fair to defendants that willfully cause injury or damage. They obviously intended damage and should have to answer for everything stemming from their willful action. If a defendant makes a mistake not only did they not see the damage coming(as they did not mean for it to happen) but they definitely would not have foreseen further damage. I think each should be decided individually, there should be no "one size fits all" type of situation. As for property damage, I do not think it is the same as a person. A person can be injured and also have mental trauma(that is unforeseeable damage) you would not get that type of damage when dealing with property. This is entirely from the defendants point of view of course.

Question: What's the rule for multplication of the variable when finding the integral? What's the rule for multplication of the variable when finding the integral? The function is x times the sine of x. I need to find the integral with respect to x. What are the rules I need to know to solve this?

Answer: Use integration by parts which is explained with a link in the source: ∫ xsinx dx Let f'(x) = sinx f(x) = -cosx Let g(x) = x g'(x) = 1 ∫ f'(x)g(x) dx = f(x)g(x) - ∫ f(x)g'(x) dx ∫ xsinx dx = -xcosx - ∫ -cosx dx ∫ xsinx dx = -xcosx + ∫ cosx dx ∫ xsinx dx = -xcosx + sinx + C ∫ xsinx dx = sinx - xcosx + C

Question: What rule in baseball requires you to have a catcher? There is a rule that says you have to have 9 guys in the field, and 8 can be in fair territory. But with noone on base, and less than 2 strikes, is there any rule to stop you from putting your catcher 1 foot in foul territory in left field? Practically speaking, I expect the problem is the umpire would suddenly start viewing every single pitch as a ball, but I'm wondering if there is a firm rule on this.

Answer: While the catcher is the only player who isn't in fair territory, he must still stay within the catcher's box. If not, they call a Catcher's Balk. Rule 4.03a "The catcher shall station himself directly back of the plate. He may leave his position at any time to catch a pitch or make a play except that when the batter is being given an intentional base on balls, the catcher must stand with both feet within the lines of the catcher's box until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand. Penalty: balk." This balk, known as the catcher's balk, is charged to the pitcher.

Question: What is the general rule for differentiating a function within a function? So, for example, how do you differentiate: y = f(g(x)) or y = f•g(x) (however you may write it) I know Sum/Difference Rule, Product Rule, Quotient Rule, and Power Chain Rule. But I'm not sure of the general rule for this? Thanks so much in advance!! :)

Answer: f(g(x)) to differentiate it you use the chain rule try this Substitute g(x) with u f(u) The differentiate that and then times it by the derivative of u EXAMPLE: differentiate (3x)^2 (u)^2 substitute 3x for u 2(u) differentiate 2(u) * 3 times by the derivative of 3x 6(u) then replace u with 3x 6(3x) simplify 18x your answer :)

Question: How did you start a no shoes house rule? Did you have a shoes off rule growing up? What did you do to start the shoes off rule in your house? Who does the rule apply to in your home?

Answer: We never had a shoes off rule growing up. I just recently (last week) put in to effect our no shoes in the house rule, and the way I did it was, I had off white carpet installed and made really nasty threats to my family, so they really don't have a problem with it. The rule applies to everyone who enter the areas where the new carpet is, and so far all of our guests have SEEMED happy to oblige.

Question: What is the rule on women removing their headgear during the national anthem? Over on the NASCAR forum there's a question asking people's opinions about one of the driver's wives keeping her baseball cap on during the national anthem before yesterday's race. There's a bit of a discussion on whether women are expected to remove their hats for the national anthem. Are women expected to do so as well, or are they exempt from that "rule?" Come to think of it, I wonder exactly why wearing your cap would be considered disrespectful to the flag in the first place.

Answer: Women should remove caps, but they don't have to remove formal hats.

Question: What is the rule for carryon bags flying to Mexico? What is the rule regarding carry-ons flying to mexico? What is the maximum size allowed and how many are my wife and I allowed to carry on? And is her purse considered a carry on?

Answer: Both you and your wife can have a carry on. However, be careful if you put liquids in there because there are guidelines for that. Just a standard carry on bag will be allowed and most airlines aren't picky about it. You and your wife are each allowed one carryon item and one personal item. Her purse could be her personal item. If you had a camcorder, that would also be a personal item. Also go on the website where you can check all the specifics with the airline you are traveling. It varies from airline to airline. You have any more questions, feel free to ask me.

Question: How do you know when to derive using the product rule versus the chain rule? For example, the function sin^2(3x^2-2x+12). My text says derive using the chain rule, but isn't this simply two things multiplied together, thus calling for the product rule? Is it the fact that sin is squared that makes the chain rule called for?

Answer: no. it is a function of a function, needing the chaqin rule. let g(x) = 3x^2-2x+12 then this is sin^2(g(x))whose derivative is 2sin(g(x))cos(g(x))g'(x) = 2sin(g(x))cos(g(x))(6x-2) plug the quadratic back in for g(x) and you are done.

Question: What is the rule when it comes to writing numbers in numerals and wording? What is the rule, I thought it was under 10 but my teacher says under 100. What about decimals?

Answer: Between zero and ten use the word, but from 11 onwards use numbers. However, if your teacher wants you to use words up to one hundred then I strongly suggest you do so, at least for her class. For fractions or decimals use the number no matter what size it is.

Question: What is the rule regarding the temperature of water when starting to boil vegetables? My Granny used to say the rule was "Old into cold" referring to potatoes, as a reminder that new potatoes and all other veg should go into boiling water. Is there any particular reason why certain vegetables should go into boiling water, or into cold and then be brought through the boil?

Answer: your granny is right with the potatoes,but i put all veg into boiling water when its boiling it is 100 degrees.

Question: What is the rule about using a lullaby in a novel you want to publish? I'm sure there's not copyright on it...I've used the lullaby "I See the Moon" as a song in my novel. Is there a restriction on publishing something with that content in there? I'm really young, I'm not sure at all if there is a rule against it.

Answer: There are rules against publishing the copyrighted materials of another author, but I See the Moon, if it is the one I'm thinking of, is an old traditional poem and in the public domain. Use away!

Question: What is the general rule of how long you keep your billing statements? How long do you keep your billing statements, or other utility records on hand? I don't recall the general rule of thumb about this. I don't usually have to refer back to my bills for anything, other than for my Home, and Taxes, and that's about it. But, what about the utilities, and credit card bills? When is a good time to shred these?

Answer: Most people keep thing from one tax period to another around here, But, in some states you don't have to file everything. So, I would just keep them for one year for peace of mind. It seems the minute, you do shred something . all of a sudden you need it,LOL

Question: What is the official rule on what a house's street address is? For instance, when a house is on the corner of of 2 or more streets, which street is the house's address? It would make sense for it to be whatever side the house faces, however I know that is not all cases that is what the address will be. I've heard that is is whatever side the driveway is on and i've also heard that it is whatever side the meter is on (whatever that means). Does anyone know what the true rule of thumb is? Thanks!

Answer: It's supposed to be which ever side the front door is on because that's where people are supposed to have their house number near.
