hey Barnsey… noticed how there’s more mailserver traffic
over sucking up to clients than there is over an architecture Q? oh well… (or did you ask
the Q to show off your new email address? - just joshin,
he he!) From:

I probably lost it in translation, I
meant, A bullet by nature will drop at the same “rate” as if you
dropped it via your hand, only it does so at a longer distance but the rate is
still the same. Of course this is if you were discount wind resistance and both
items were dropped equally from the same height. Point
is a bullet is really dropping at a standard rate once it leaves a barrel only
we perceive it to “fly” (if the winds willing that too could be
true) but in a dead wind, it would be the above? AND
THAT is all I can remember from high school… damn girls always
distracting. Scott. From: Mike Everest
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, Just
a note from mike the physics teacher and pedant: "I didn't intend to shoot him, merely showing him
the physics associated with a bullet - in that he didn't believe that a bullet
is realistically a dropping object only it drops at a lower rate then say an
apple leaving a persons hand". Not
completely true. Any object moving freely in the earth’s
gravitational field falls at the same rate, regardless of mass or horizontal
velocity. So if
you fire a bullet and drop an apple at the same time and from the same height,
they will both (errm theoretically) hit
the deck at the same time. I say ‘theoretically’ because some
effects may affect the rate of fall: for example, a Frisbee produces lift due
to the aerodynamic shape and the constant angle of attack to the airflow
stabilised by the spin, and therefore falls at a lower rate than an apple or
bullet. A
bullet, however, is usually aerodynamically designed for minimum drag and so
also minimal ‘lift’. Therefore I predict, dear Watson, that
it will indeed fall to the ground at the same rate as the proposed piece of
fruit! ;-) --- --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ |
