the viscosity and density of the water will affect the drag and thus "rate of deceleration", as would the shape of your body entering the water....
So there you have it. The LD50 is going to be somewhere between 65 and 200 feet! P.S. you really need to remember to keep your arms "in", and...
Anecdotally, I have experience jumping off highway bridges into water. (was a highschool pass-time). Virtually none of us ever got hurt on...
Troy Hurtubise? The PROJECT GRIZZLY guy? http://www.projectgrizzly.net/ Give me a break.
You're getting the concept. The distribution of mass is factor in rotational inertia (i.e. how much mass is located where within the object)....
You're confusing the two concepts. You articulate them both correctly indvidually at the top of your last post - but are just not thinking of them...
The sonic boom is caused by the shockwave formed whe the supersonic object 'punches through' the built-up waves of air in front of it. The shock...
I think Cato has it right. The shock wave would continually be moving around you making a constant roar.
Attractive Gravity? Yeah, and all the lightbulbs in my house don't actually emit light, they suck dark.
MetaKron, I see what you are trying to say now. What I didn't get was you said "any" theoretical thermal efficiency = 100% fuel efficiency....
Yeah MT, I understand entropy - MetaKron has a problem with the 2nd law of thermodynamics. I don't understand his take on what he calls "fuel...
I don't understand why you think that. It makes no sense.
Newon does have a law of rest - his first. A body at rest tends to stay at rest... Rest is the absence of motion. There is a whole body of...
actually the question was about the water level. It doesn't change.
He's YOUR citizen Clockwood - he IS on your side (of the border at least)
Talk about ignorant. What do you know about Canada? If you're a typical American - the square root of jack squat. True, Canada is less willing...
MetaKron, you are a scientist?!!! After reading this thread your standpoint on the heat pump issue is now clear to me. Perhaps it is the...
You don't need to move the ramjet at >0.5 Mach. You DO have to figure out how to make the air move through it at several hundred miles per hour........
....no clue whatsoever. Lay it on the table MetaKron - what is you formal training in this area? Do you have any? It sounds like you're self...
You're joking right? :bugeye: Ok Metakron, you are right. Millions of scientists and engineers are incorrect. That seems like the most likely...
