You are applying to 2 different jobs with the same starting pay. One company uses a linear model to increase wages, one company uses a quadratic model.

x=# of years at the job
y= current pay

what are some examples of linear & quadratic models for this?

Area between North San Jose and Milpitas.
Is being Seismic zone more dangerous than near an earthquake fault? When will seismic liquefaction happens? Does it have to be with or without every earthquake?

Are the just dumb or brainwashed? Or do they have legitimate reasons?

Some time ago I asked if there was a long pole between 2 stars, and somehow I managed to pull on one end, would someone on the other star, say 3 light years away, feel it pull at the same time? Or would they have to wait a few years?
Someone said no because of 'rigidity' and the speed at which waves of atoms pull on each other. Nothing pulls instantaneously.
Ok, therefore if you was in the middle of the two stars and you was pulling the pole backwards and forwards from the middle, the pole atoms would surely be compressing on one side of your hand, and expanding on the other side (before the pole is seen to move). Is there a formulae to work out how far the atoms in a pole (for example) would compress or expand before there is movement? Putting it another way, suppose you was pushing or pulling a 20cm long pencil (say in a vacuum without gravity to remove effects of resistance), whats the formuale to work out how long it would take for it to move, after the initial push or pull?

Good:
I designed a device which has premovement acceleration, can continue to add its top speed to its current speed, very simple design, runs on eletricity, no external part.

Bad:
The olny problam is there is currently no way to stop, olny works well in zero resistantce envirment, instant speed addition is not good for people. Every prototype i build eventually rips its self apart. (the design bacily causes it to ram into its self acusing instant inertal force from the inside.)

a question about the Bible not be posted in the "Science-Other" category when it's not a religious question? (It seemed logical to me to post the following question in Science-Other: How many times have you read the Bible and what religion are you?) Not to start a debate, but to get answers. Was there something wrong with that?
