No, I don"t play myself and wife. I haven"t even read her posts yet. Poor? We just lost more than a thousand dollars, and I"ll still have the bills paid, the kids fed, all of our recreational activities will even still be paid for. I"ve corrected the situation by brining in replacement money...

Bad things ensue on this board no matter what. This thread is proof of exactly what I was saying. This board is a cross section of humanity. Someone gets stolen from, you assholes attack. Humanity is scum. Human beings thrive on the misery of others, and the only people that any human being...

It"s not bullshit. (This is Mary, his wife still talking.) My purse was really stolen this morning. I am really upset about this. Because of this, all of my plans are gone. I had over 800 dollars in that purse that I had just gotten out of the bank. I was going straight from there to pay the...

I don"t think he"ll be posting here anymore. Looks like it"s your lucky day assholes.

Kiss my ass all of you. According to previous posts I"ve read about me, you think I have a big one. There"s plenty to go around.

Okay I know you people don"t like my husband, and you think I"m ugly, and all the other bull shit you post on this site. I"m going to tell you what happened. I went to the bank to get our tax refund check cashed. My cousin went with me so that I could deposit some of the money into her checking...

Like I"ve told you before, the post that you take your evidence for that from included a solution given to you by a Nobel prize winner. Besides, like you"re god damn Murray Gell-Mann.

Some of you fuckers are sub human.

Good point! That"s very true. Aye, of course she did.

Not really, ralph. They were in her car, and it was searched. Unless she shoved the purse in her vagina, then she couldn"t have taken it. I"d search her vagina, but I"d really rather not. It wouldn"t be worth the money that was stolen.

Your skull is mighty indeed. I will go now in defeat to mourn the comparitive weakness of my own skull. C&TV, the emo thing makes no fucking sense. Getting stolen from = emo? Fuck, why define "emo" at all? Just use it for anything. Pardon me now, I have to go take a wicked emo while I think...

I wasn"t with her. If the thief was not some one there when she came out, then it had to be some one with the uncanny ability to hide under dirt, because that"s all that is nearby. Both are wrong, with absolute certainty. She didn"t notice the thief taking it. Well, people can move quietly. She...

Except that she found it missing before transit, right after coming out of the bank where she had just used it.

I"d consider that a possibility, Gryphe, but she had just deposited money that was in the purse (not all of the money) into her cousin"s account to pay a debt. Yeah, her cousin was with her, in the car. Maybe her cousin"s the pirate, but it obviously was neither in the car nor in the bank...

Eomer, stab yourself in the head. In other news, I"m going to rip a pirate"s hook off. Why club the wife for getting ripped off? Unless she is the pirate... hmm... Not everyone. Just the few folks at the bank at that time. Poor folks here don"t usually have bank accounts at all. Most...

She had her purse set on top of the car, and was buckling in our son in the back seat. She was having trouble with the buckle, and the boy, so she was well distracted. She stood up, and the purse was gone, one of the other cars was gone, and there was nobody around. She didn"t have time to...

heh! That would make sense, Makist. It"s not unbelievable to me that someone rich would steal. It just makes me that much more angry because there"s no way for me to think, "Well, maybe someone"s kid was starving and they had no choice," or something similar. Nope. It"s just another piece...

I hear ya man. Yeah, there was cash in the purse. This area is about twenty years behind in technology, and you still have to have cash at a lot of places.

Nobody was in the parking lot. This wasn"t a Wal-Mart type parking lot with lots of people and tons of places to hide. This was at a small bank new enough to not even have cameras outside yet, with a couple cars in the lot and no people. It was some rich or near rich asshole. He or she...

No. It"s wide open by that bank, and she"d have seen the thief running off. It was the person in the one car that was there when she came out and gone when she got done buckling in the kid. C&TV, thanks for reaffirming my newfound hatred of humanity in general. Try to pirate something new. It...

Here"s the simplest, best worded explanation in the thread for folks who don"t know much about physics. Good analogy, Zaptruder!

/sigh The entirety of the screenshots forum should understand pretty much all of the physics involved in this by now. I"m pretty sure that even Matt could give a lecture on it by this point. The plane does move forward. I could give you a thousand conditional models where it does this, but...

If the plane moves, then there is upward force. Even with the brakes on, the plane will move because it"s not the wheels that make it go. That"s as simply as it can be put.

Yeah, this thread is a strange occurance for this forum. The only reason it has stuck around this long is probably because nerds like me can"t talk about this shit IRL outside of the classroom or lab. Seriously, picture approaching even the town crack whore to pay for an hour to talk about...

Nice flame, I"ll give it four out of five stars. You lose a star because you miss the point. See, we have something called the scientific process. It consists of more than one step, and nowhere does it have us just assume that what our intuition says is correct. That"s something that you...

I see. So which is it this time: Hermoine, buttsecks, off topic discussion, or just random flames? If you"re looking for a random flames derail, you might want to choose someone who"s better at it than I am. So far as my social skills go, yeah, you"re right. Except, of couse, the...

Agreed. I"d make her hoof curl.

Yeah, that"s pretty much what NASA said when they decided to pay me every semester. You must be looking for a derail.

I"ll study this sometime later, as I have finals to prepare for. The first thing, though, that catches my eye is that they use meters as a unit for force on that page. I"ll look it over later, though. Either they"re using a unit for force that I"m not familar with, or there"s something wrong...

Aye, you"re right. Thus my initial statement that mu is always less than or equal to one, but itcouldbe looked at like Frawdo points out. Like I said, I can"t think of an instance where it would be beneficial, but if some physicist pointed it out, somewhere out there on the web, for Frawdo to...

Yes, but not exactly. The normal force decreases as the lift force increases, not necessarily as the velocity goes up. It comes out as infinity in the case of two objects that are bonded, but it technically isn"t if the two objects can be pulled apart. That"s just one of the things that"s...

Good and true observation, Frawdo Fixed: ? ? 1, always when the two bodies in question are free to move against eachother ...this is pretty much the first time I"ve seen anything having to do with physics sound dirty

Yeah, it is 6th grade simplicity. ...and I originally said that it would take off, then it wouldn"t then that it would, finally after going through all the techinically unneccessary steps, I agree that it takes off. I wonder if all physics students find themselves over thinking everything...

*smacks forehead* ? ? 1, always Only in the pretty much nonexistant case that both coeffs equal one would the more advanced model even be needed. The back force is divided twice, and the forward force acts independant of friction. The plane will always take off. Jesus, that"s so much...

The plane does take off. My scanner is a couple years old, and hasn"t been used in just as long. I"ll look for another one somewhere tomorrow to get the free body diagrams to y"all. 1) Friction The plane takes off thanks to friction, or rather the occasional lack of it. There are two...

<3 Eomer This thread has caused me to respect many of y"all on new level.

Potam: One of my peer"s hypothesis meets that question well. Let"s take the rollerblades on the treadmill, with the skate being accelerated, and with free motion of the treadmill, but with friction. The rollerblade would turn the treadmill with the same speed with which its wheels turn...

The speed of a point on the conveyor belt is twice that of a point on the wheel.

If the conveyor belt were to suddenly stop, and if the plane were to roll off of it, then the plane"s speed would be 500 MPH, because the belt"s energy would be transfered to the plane. Without that transfer, it would be 250 MPH, as in the case of a frictionless belt. The plane wouldn"t...

Of course I am, when it is appropriate. In this case, it has too much bearing on the movement of the plane. Friction is also typically only ignored in the case of systems that are already completely understood. Since this one is being investigated, it has to be included. We don"t just throw...
