This toy was a popular feature in midwest tavern back- bars in the forties. Just what made it work generated much conversation, I never what it was called or who manufactured it. Any ideas?

Ever since I was little I've wanted to chase storms for a hobbie and if I was lucky as a career. I'd like any advice as to supplies and locations that are good/easy to travel. Also any other advice based off experience. Unfortunatly I live in Michigan and it may be some time before I get out into the plains states so if anyone had advice about Michigan that would be helpful too. Thank you.

altitude, down range distance, and velocity data from pad to srb separation and then to main engine shut down.

Possibly fuel consumption rate for srb's and main engines.

A student could either pull or push, at an angle of 30o from the horizontal, a 50-kg crate on a horizontal surface, where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and surface is 0.20. The crate is to be moved a horizontal distance of 15 m.
(a) Compared with pushing, pulling requires the student to do (1) less, (2) the same, or (3) more work. I think that pushing or pulling does not make a difference so the answer would be the same. Maybe their is a difference though and I thought I would see what other people thought.

It cannot be denied that we live in a universe where anything is possible(infinite possibility). Is it then possible to create a mathematic impossibility such as 1+1=3 even though there is infinite possibility? And if so how can we apply the idea to our lives?

I really want to know. Someone told me how to do it in one of my previous questions when I asked "What are some things you can do in a lucid dream". What happens? If it is so amazing, just leave it as a suprise, but just tell me what you thought. Thanks!
