Yes. And when I visit the house of a smoker, I have to wash my clothes afterwards. The stink gets in everything.
Sometimes the lanugo is not consumed and the baby is born with a covering of hair. This happened to both of my sisters.
Stephen King short story, "The Jaunt".
Ah, concise and accurate.... I like it.
A gas's properties are described by a statistical ensemble, so two particles wouldn't meet that criterion. There's no sharp cutoff, but for their motions to conform to the expected statistical properties, you'd probably need hundreds of particles as a minimum.
Depends a lot on the seating style. Modern theaters with recliner seats will hold ~100 to a few hundred people. The older theaters with narrower nonreclining seats probably hold twice that or more.
"Will you fondle my buttocks, please?"
There has to be a word or phrase that goes beyond "astronomically unfuckingbelievably stupid" to describe these people.
IANAL but I imagine that it is unlikely to survive a 1st Amendment legal challenge.
Were they in a hovercraft?
Astronomer here. At the undergrad level, physics+computer science is a great combo to prepare you for astrophysics. I took very few astro courses as an undergrad, saving them for grad school.
Spent my career working at a couple of observatories and NASA. You're off to a good start.
My first thought. The inventor, Dean Kamen, loudly proclaimed that it would revolutionize transportation in cities.
Nice work! Good composition and choice of contrast.
This is not a useful response. There are very extensive observational data and sound theoretical models that address the question.
No, it is not. The Moon is receding because tidal friction slows the rotation of the Earth: the angular momentum is transfered to the Moon's orbit.
Planets often do so in the early stages of solar system formation due to friction with the protoplanetary disk. It is not currently occurring in our mature solar system.
All the responses that say "gravity" are wrong.
The centrifugal force of a planet's orbit around the balances the Sun's gravitational pull; that's essentially the definition of an orbit. Consequently only some outside force can change the orbit.
Consequently there are two mechanisms by which an orbiting planet can move closer to its sun. One is friction, if there is a lot of material in the orbital, as happens during the early stages of planetary and solar system formation. Most migrations of planets towards their sun happen during this era.
The other mechanism is interaction with a massive colliding or near-colliding body, e.g. a passing star.
The Iran story is mostly right but a little exaggerated. The Iranian scientist that was assassinated had just gotten into a parked car, not one driving at 40 mph.
Launch 15 minutes before sunrise. Set hyperlapse to 2 second intervals and shoot for about 18 minutes. At 30 fps playback this will give you an 18 sec video.
Set ISO to 100. For your first attempt let it set shutter speed automatically. Later you can experiment with ND filters and fixed shutter speeds.
