  1. Wrong. But oh so close. I have the answer, but I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE SPOILER TAGS!!! Is it

    ?? Someone tell me and i'll post the answer. Flareon, your previous one was closer. But the 2nd one, if you just think upside down...get my drift and clue...

  2. Oo. Very old thread. Just picked it up. Anyways, there is the "downwash" principle, which is an alternative to Bernoulli's. Asymetrical wings may generate lift "according" to Bernoulli's principle, but symetrical wings generate lift too. So that suggests the downwash principle. It says that the lift is generated by air flowing onto the wing and being DEFLECTED by the curvature downwards, thus creating an upwards lift. Many pilots refer to this principle for its simplicity. Ive heard people calling it the "Newtonian" principle, but I dunno if it is really called that.

  3. And think, E=mc^2. If the mass difference is detectable by, say, a centigram scale, then the energy release would be so powerful you wouldn't exist to write down the data. Nearly total annihlation of matter happens only in antimatter and matter reactions. Yay, hopefully thats the reaction for future rockets. But, how will they contain the antimatter? Hmm...

  4. The Melissa virus is the most notorious virus, and it works by sending itself to everyone in your contact list. So it is very possible for a virus to be sent to you from her account. The fact that it had a list of all her friends' addresses confirms that it is a virus.

  5. Raptors are replacing the Eagles =(, and what a coincidence! After that, MD gets bought by Boeing! Anyways, F-22 should be combined with F-35 JSFs, but the VTOL nozzles of F-35 would render the stealth tech on Raptors useless, since the nozzles will be rotating. =(

  6. Even in nuclear fission and fusion the mass loss isn't significant. But in antimatter vs matter reactions, almost all of the mass are destroyed and converted to energy, which is what makes them release so much energy.

  7. Okay, polar molecules, electronegativity and covalency are okay. But if he doesn't know what covalent bond IS I don't see the point of explaining orbitals and quantum mech models of covalent bonding to him no offence meant.

  8. Don't be surprised. USA has the most neo-Nazis in the world. Its been statistically proven. So maybe some1 is a Nazi. Nazi is just Fascist with a racism touch, so I'm not surprised hearing there are Nazis. But Nazi as a political party? This is getting ridiculous. Fascism and Nazism both as political parties? Plz don't let that happen again.

    Communism is up there. Gee, are ppl scared of a communist or Bolshevik revolution of the world? Better watch out...

  9. How will you control the car once its up in the air? Okay, so we add more rudders, then ailerons, then elevators. Then we slowly get two giant turbofans, we change wheels into landing gears. There, a flying car. But wait, its a plane now!

    Why waste all those materials and energy to build a flying car, when we have planes? Now Im not saying Im against the idea of a hovercar. Quite the opposite. Hovercars will be cool...

  10. Gee, you should really 1st learn the 4 basic types of chem reactions, then you'll know all these, and we wouldn't be here. So learn the 4 basic types of Sythesis, Decomposition, Replacement and Dbl Replacement. Now think, which one does you question fit?

    Bingo! You got the answer.

  11. Yes. Sigma bond is the simplest bond, where the 2 p orbitals of the atoms share electrons head2head. And there is the pi bond, where they kinda arrange side2side and share electrons. Bit hard to visualize the orbitals if you don't what it looks like, and from the questions you're asking I daresay that you are on Bohr models, so kinda pointless saying all these, but oh well. yeah.
