some initial force must be imparted upon it. A baseball that has been hit by a batter, a cannonball fired from a cannon or a diver jumping from a diving board are all examples of projectiles. In each case, some force is applied, by the bat, the cannon, or the diving board, after...
So two objects that were moving along a flat plane are now moving along a spherical plane. And two straight paths along that sphere end in a single point. Gravitational Waves and Other Theories More recent theories of gravity express the phenomenon in terms of particles and waves. One view...

What is a momentum oscillator? What are damped oscillations? What is a projectile? What did Foucault's pendulum provide in the 19th century? What is a maser cannon? What is a ballistic knife? What is a seismograph? What is an aftershock?
They're not naive about how he's perceived, but the word we heard a lot was "but". "He's an asshole, I get it," one resident told us, "but his policies are way better". "He's a loose cannon," said another sun-worshipper, "but people like a w...
I also want a rangefinder, a telescope, a cannon that shoots radioactive jelly at homeless people, a candy bar dispenser, a mechanical arm operated by brain waves, a retractable roof, an autopilot, an ejection system (with parachute) in case a car is about to run into me, a 360 d...
I move beside her. Her cheeks are covered in mucus and fine sand, and her hair feels gritty. She feels small in my embrace, almost fake, like a doll. My eyes trace the waterline, taking in the ebb and swell of waves. “I want to go home,” says Shashi. ...
What are evanescent waves? Compute the position of the sandbag at a time 1.35 after its release. What is meant by the depth of focus? Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously...

"If the conditions are correct, I think that there is no limit to the size of waves that can be ridden, as long as the storms make them." The Millennium Wave changed human perception of what is possible from a surfing perspective. But it also changed Laird Hamilton. ...
