I just smoked a cigar while drinking a martini. It felt so...Republican.

I think the Reader's Digest version of this Zed posting could be paraphrased as: "Transmitter busted, please help!"

Two boats leave the same port at the same time. One travels at a speed of 21 mi/h in the direction N 50° E and the other travels at a speed of 27 mi/h in a direction S 70° E. How far apart are the two boats after one hour? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)
I'm guessing 34 miles but I have no idea if I did the right equation.
Just heard on scanner :rofl: :rofl:

Iron is typically the endpoint for a star. Stars start out fusing hydrogen and hydrogen to create helium. As the star ages, if it's large enough, it starts fusing helium and hydrogen into lithium, then helium and helium into beryllium. With the most massive stars, this "progression of fusion" continues. At some point, the star starts to fuse things that result in iron.
Under current theory, an iron-producing star has entered the last seconds of its life. Iron is the upper limit of fusion at stellar energy levels. It is also the immediate harbinger of a star's death. Until the fusions start producing iron, they produce excess energy and project it into the system. In general, when they start fusing iron with other stuff, the fusions require input energy from the environment to succeed. Stars don't have that much energy. Unless they go nova.
In somewhere between a fraction of a second, and a handful of them, an entire star collapses from hundreds of thousands or millions of miles across to simply hundreds or thousands. It largely turns itself inside out. It vomits a big chunk of itself into the surrounding space. In the intense violence of this process are born the elements heavier than iron. The energy produced in that cataclysmic collapse even has enough energy to force iron fusion and produce still heavier elements. Every atom of every element heavier than iron originated in a nova or super nova, somewhere, somewhen.
To me, that is the most astounding fact about the universe. Well, technically, I guess it's the combination of two facts. First, every atom is traceable to some specific hydrogen atom, somewhere, somewhen (this is NdGT's choice). And second, (my choice, combined with first), that it takes two separate, but related processes, both of unimaginable violence, to produce the full panoply of elements in Nature. That even the "normal" power of a star is insufficient to produce the spectrum of the universe. That as powerful an object as a star must "die" catastrophically to complete the process.

Use vectors, one for each boat and then subtract the two vectors and determine the length of the resulting vector to get the distance between the 2 boats.Quote:

What answer did you get?
Is it possible to use too much garlic? I mean, assuming you're not putting it on your cornflakes or some other inappropriate place.
Come to think of it, I've never seen this guy counting garlic cloves...

I'm going to go work on the sprinkler system until it pisses me off.
Should be back in 15-20 minutes.

Since both boats contain a magnitude (speed) and a direction vectors are about the easiest thing to use, either by drawing the vectors to scale with a straightedge and protractor or, by using basic vector arithmetic.Quote:

I am a big dummy when it comes to trig. I prefer to bisect that triangle to two right triangles then add the two hyp together. It worked for me on figuring HAAT (height above avg terrain, et. al) for the old first phone exam. If I did not have a calculator, I'd be lost. Polar/rectangle function key is my favorite key.
You can do it that way, by decomposing the single triangular region into two right triangles and then determining the sides.. Matter of fact that is basically what is happening when you do it via vector arithmetic.Quote:
