do you know science?

Idiot! The requisite is that YOU keep the goat *limited* to eating ONLY half the grass.

You gonna stand there and watch and then stop it, ya dopey ditz?

Galilean relativity applies.

Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. ---

Irrelevant.

No. That would be impossible.

Correct, until the Earth faces (is tidal locked to) the Moon. Losses will then cause the to come together.

There are actually some dopes out there that think that if we captured tides, that we would cause problems between the Earth and Moon.

I do not think that the Moon congealed after a big collision between us and some other gone spheroid. I think that the Moon IS the remnant of that spheroid, now covered in fragments of what was put into orbit around the collision zone for millions of years after the event. AFTER the moon swung around and swept up everything it knocked loose, we got pelted again, BIG TIME, about 3.5 billion years back, and those craters ARE still visible all over the Moon's surface. Earth was pelted as well, but likely had an atmosphere of something and that burned many of them up. That is why our orbits AND rotational velocities are tied together.

Think when two tops hit. It takes a LONG time for those two spheroids to wobble out of the synch they placed each other in.

The Moonoid had very little spin or the Earth was spinning faster, and the moon was spinning the other way, and the Earth cancelled the moon's spins, slowed it's own, and the moon ended up tied to it as it peeled away in the aftermath of the collision.

Look also at Mars. It has a very similar rotational rate. IT could have struck us, left us with a lot of its water as it swept by, and the fragments made the Moon, and Mars fell into its orbit, keeping the remnant like day length as a result of the collision.

So, a glancing blow by Mars, or a more near full hit by what the Moon was before it gathered part of us up and became the Moon it is today, OR the Impactor remained IN or part of the Earth, and the Moon is purely congealed colloidal stone, and we have a monster inside us. :-)

Otherwise, it would not be being 'thrown out', it would be 'falling in'.

We should all launch our rockets in a helpful direction from now on! hehehhe :-)

Wrong. What stops the goat once he has eaten half?

Or more precisely, what about the rope's length STOPS the goat eating once he has eaten half?

Try again, you goddamned cross-posting losers!

Einstein was wrong?

Not to worry Rich--there has never been an observation that contradicts a prediction of relativity. It remains a viable fruitful tools of physics.

The things that matter:

Mast orientation with respect to Earth.

Assumed: Perpendicular throughout test.

Mast direction and velocity, if not stationary through test.

Assumed singular direction and velocity.

Mast height and altitude.

Assumed: Sea level as 70k feet would introduce so many more elements into this. Whatever mast was originally called out. Say 25 feet.

WIND direction, velocity, and turbidity.

Assumed: Never given. Game killing unknown. This value must be known. It would be logical to assume this will not be taking place in a giant vacuum.

Marble composition (to derive mass) and diameter.

Assumed: std half inch glass cat-eye.

Release: Assumed a 'real' drop, as opposed to a roll off an edge.

At this point, the mast could be a laser (plumb bob) simply marking a spot on the ground plumb to the Earth from where it is at.

The marble fall will be pure Newtonian physics. The deck contact point, however, will be determined by the wind factors, and chaos could play in on that one.

If we assume a laminar 'headwind', then the marble will naturally be behind the mast, or behind the original drop point some amount based on how heavy the head wind is.

A paint ball would vary more as it is lighter than, but nearly the same size as the marble given.

Though the marble would fall straight down, pretty much before the wind would even have a chance to do much to it. Again, it depends on how much wind, and how tall the mast.

You could easily see it fall back with the paint ball. The marble may fall and only move a few millimeters to the rear, in that short of a drop. It would take a good gust to move it *far* in that short of a transition.

Colder. Eventually the fridge will die and quit using electric power that heats the room.

You strap them on your feet and then they make you fall on your ass.

Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide. Note that this is one of the most dangerous chemicals on the planet responsible for thousands of deaths every year...

Who knows? Nobody knows. To know one would have to know where the exact center of the universe is and if it's rotating.

Either way, given that in mathematics we can define conventions any way we like.

We ALL get thicker at the bottom when we get old!

Who says it does? I think your "normal" voice sounds funny and a helium voice sounds great!

Well, the first thing an educated scientist does is learn to spell "separate". [or at least how to run a spell-checker]. And then you get out your microscope and put the cubes in one pile and the odd shaped ones in another...

If you go round and round a racetrack, why do you get "tired"?

Puhlease! I thought this was about "science" not geometry... =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D These kind of questions are a perfect example of people thinking they are "smart" while only proving they know nothing about science. I'm sure all the "unthinkers" here will love them.

Excellent answer! Gold star! Now THAT is what we are looking for!

not at all. the lunar horizon contains less than half the surface of the moon. by moving the observer over the face of the earth the horzon is also moved such that more than half the surface it covered.

I forgot about losses. but thought that if the earth has sufficien rotational innertia the mood would contunue to receed and the effect would continue to decrease. whay is that impossible?

have you got a figure for the moons altitude and speed when that happens.

The examples given can be put to your "educated" friends and associates; i.e. who took the minimum science courses in school. In my experience, about half get them wrong.

Not much advance since Aristotle, sad to say -

It looks like you got the idea:

good!

too tough

dumb

good!

too specialized

Is it?

good!

hmmmm....

good!

too much math

Water is correct answer, being a kind of a trap.

Fast moving sailing boat is usually tilted toward lee /leeward / downwind so it would not fall on the board.

This can be a trap too, as the marble from the mast.

Are we compare pounds as weigh, or pounds as mass ?

Of the same weigh, feathers has more mass. Of the same mass, feathers has less weigh. ( because of the Archimedes law )

The bed will definitelly get colder from cold and wet marble, as fast winds moving a boat are connected usually to cold weather.

:-D

Tim, I was going to say not to bother repleying. too late,

I think in general there can be suppossed usual conditions, if not said otherwise.
