Could it be possible to collect vast quantities of rain water from the NW and dump it on the SW? Wouldn't this benefit both places by taking moisture out of the air in one place and putting it in another?

I have just read a book about all the terrifying things that have happened at power plants. Obviously, I know that the potential cause is good: energy and cheap energy. But what about all the consequences? It seems to me that radioactive particles are pretty much all over the world by now---and certainly in the USA. That is really pretty scarey to me...how much more can the earth take with power plant mistakes?

What's your opinion about this. Serious answers only!

and why do asian people all have the same hair and eye color? Is there more genetic variability in whites?

2006-07-27 07:35:58 · 22 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Science

(b^2)/(2i) + b/2 - (a^2)/(2i) + a/2

Note: "i" is being used as a variable, not an imaginary number.

Hint: It has something to do with adding.

The velocity of a satellite at perigee (10.15 km/s) decreases to a min.
1.6 km/s at apogee during its journey along an elliptical orbit. Is this velocity reduction done forcefully using computer measuring the height of satellite at every moment or it happens naturally by gravitational force and momentum ?
