  1. yup. so it comes from the normal force. for the normal force to provide this component and for it to not go through the track the normal force has to be <insert word here> than the weight. Its the centrifuge effect.
  2. Ok, what force is needed for circular motion? and where does it come from?
  3. if an electron impacts a proton(its an electrostatic attraction rather than gravitational attraction) it forms a neutron. this is seen in neutron stars where the matter is so compressed that the electrons get 'pushed' into the nucleus. still nowhere near as dense as a black hole though.
  4. Y'know what happened toady? i had to hand in that report i finished at 3 am last night and guess what? i couldn't get to the office because it was flooded! I wouldn't be so angry about this if it was somewere prone to flooding like the basement but its not! its the ****ing fifth floor of the building! theres even a floor above it thats perfectly fine and all the floors below it are dry too. WTF??? really, how does a floor in the middle flood? how is that ****ing possible? i mean really, the chances must be so ****ing miniscule that its obvious that there is some sort of god and the bastard has a personal vendetta against me. and what do i say to this god? bring it on biatch! i'll take you down.
  5. For those that don't have to justify timescales to a boss/advisor/evil overlord this means they'll be posted after he's actually done the calculations.
  6. y'know what Lab reports suck. they really really suck ass.i've just spent the whole day writing one and i'm on to the conclusions. i don't have a effin clue what the heck i've concluded from my results. its just a bunch of numbers! The only thing i can think to write to sum it all up is 'water makes things wet' but somehow i doubt thats what i'm supposed to write. AND WTF is up with all the assignments uni's hand out over the HOLIDAYS i have 6 assignments 3 15 minute presentations (one on engineering disaster no less, how cheery) and 3 exams to study for. when exactly am i supposed to get this done? its bloody christmas, if i'm sober enough to see just two of everything it'll be a miracle never mind do home work! Another thing i've just noticed, my mobile phone has no reception apparently, i can see the ****ing tower from my window. how can it not be getting a signal!!! bet it runs on m$ or some crap like that and its crashed. GRRR. man that felt good.
  7. so do you you mindless twerp. what have you ever done for anybody. you worthless sack of excrement.
  8. Since the religion and philosophy boards closed we've not had an creationists we can direct a really good rant at. this seems to be building up a lot of tension and some of us are snapping at newbies. so, lets have this little corner where we can rant about anyone/anything we want. I'm atually pretty chilled just now so someone else start us off.
  9. But of course. don't you know the cold war never took place. It was just a soap opera for world leaders. the Yanks and the Ruskies have always been really really good friends in reality. its just them that don't want you to know.
  10. the oxygen could have been provided by another oxide in a thermite type reaction but this is an extremely bad thing to have aboard a space craft as it could potentially rupture fuel/oxygen tanks and damage heat shields.
  11. For the computer power required to reach the moon, try playing this game: http://www.orbitersim.com once you've got used to the controls download the apollo addon turn the autopilot off, take a basic calculator, a stop watch and your index finger. try going to the moon using only these and the read out from the telemetry computer. its actually pretty easy. you might need a piece of paper if your not to familiar with mental maths or orbital mechanics. if you turn the flight computer on it can actually do everything for you apart from the lunar landing and its a pretty good simulation of the actual flight computer. the maths is easy therefore big computers are not necessary.
  12. if it does eat breath or excrete then it can't be living since no chemical reactions could possibly be taking place. (plants do all three btw.)
  13. This isn't inorganic life, this is just the effects of evolution. its completely organic. just had some evolutionary pressures applied from another life form. this is why EVERYTHING evolves. Foxes eat rabbits, rabbits evolve to be faster. Humans like <insert crop here> so they grow more of the type that tastes good. same thing.
  14. ??? give us an example on inorganic life please, this is interesting.
  15. remember now, this is technology available in *nix systems a whopping 20 YEARS ago. and M$ have added bits of ****uppery to it so i don't expect it to hold for long.
  16. umm, computers should generally work better in the winter as its colder and they don't like the heat. Have you tried reseating the RAM sometimes that can make it happen if the computers changed quite a bit in temperature.
  17. yeah thats the security measures from *nix systems working. microsoft nicked them.
  18. i don't think it will be long before hackers can spoof M$'s killswitch activation signal. then we can watch with glee as microsoft impales itself on vista install disks.
  19. i also don't see a loop.
  20. how hard can you study? its possible if you put the work in.
  21. i know what you mean, pretty much the same thing happened to me about a month back, a wee kid ranout into the road from behind some bushes and i almost totalled my car and some other guys car. thankfully nothing bad happened and cars and child were unhurt. can only remember slamming on the anchors and a couple of other wee things and not much else. couldn't find out what causes the slow down of time though.
  22. its just going to take longer to heat up since the surface temperature of towel will be less than that of the radiator, this will cause the radiator to be slightly hotter and the rate of heat transfer to be slightly slower
  23. takes a while up here in scotland in winter. its also annoyingly low all day so you burn your retinas when driving.
  24. okay, you seem to have a mental block on this part so i'm going to give you a bit more help than normal. The nutrients in the fertiliser need to be absorbed by the plants first before they affect the growth of the plant. If you added nitrate and phosphate fertilisers in equal amounts(wrt mol) how could you tell which one the plant absorbs more of?
  25. he said the kids are equidistant from you on ONE track with ONE train, which means one is going to get hit first, that one can die.
