Please tell me if this makes sense, This isn’t all of it but I didn’t think anyone would want to read the whole thing. This is just the first part, the rest is about 10 pages long. I still have to write it.
The controlled mode, which is also known as Command Detonation, the mine will be detonated by the operant while the forward edge of the enemy will approach in the killing zone, primarly 20-30 meters where the maximum casualities will occur.

The controlled detonator mode can be adept by the use of the electrical or non electrical firing system. In the moment when mines are engaged in the controlled roll, they will be treated equally as the individual weapons and will be reported for the inclusion in the unit fire plan. However, they are not reported as mines yet the emplacing unit fire plan. The m57 firing device, which is also known as the clacker, is incorporated with the Claymore Mine in order to be used in control mode. When the Claymore mines are daisy chained together, the M57 will inaugurate several claymore mines.

In uncontrolled mode, also known as the Victim Initationed Detonation. the mine will be installed in a manner to cause a target to detonate the mine. The mines which are engaged in this manner are to be reported and further on recorded as land mines. Many mechanisms are used to initiate the Claymore Mine, such as the M142 multipurpose firing device, tripwires, strikers, infrared sensors, acoustic and vibration sensors, and the m5 pressure release device also known as the mousetrap.

In time-delayed mode, the firing will contain the fuse igniter as well as the applicable short time fuse in order to allow the mine to be used as a pursuit detterent. This may be combined with the CS Grenade, or the bag containing the irritant contained in the CS Grenade.

nospoon1117 asked:


I just had a 3.8L V6 motor (Jasper rebuild) put in my 2000 Chevy Impala. After new plugs, plug wires, and cleaning the injectors. I am still plauged with a misfire on cylinder 6. Cylinder 3 was the only one misfiring initially, new plugs fixed that. But I still had a rough idle that wouldn’t go away for the first couple of minutes after starting (I would hear what sounded like water passing through the heater coil at about the same time the idle would smooth out). So my mechanic put the coolant system under vacuum to make sure there were no air pockets, but the problem still persisted. Then Cylinder 5 and 6 started acting up about 2 weeks later. Still having the rough idle, but now it is cutting out when I accelerate and getting worse, with the check engine light coming on, also occasionaly hearing a small pop under the hood while it is cutting out. The error(s) it reads on the meter are misfires. It was cylinders 5 and 6 that self destructed on my other motor with only 90k.

F = ma asked:


My program can be found bellow. The program collects kWh readings from a user. The user gets the reading from their meter. The meter counts up to 99999 and loops back to 0 and continues counting. For example, if your meter reads 99900 kWh one month, and 50 the next month, 150 kWh has been used, right? I just need my program to do that. Everything else works. Any ideas? Thanks!
Here it is:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Electricity

public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

//Prompt user
System.out.print(This program will take the kilowatt-hour(s) (kWh) reading);
System.out.println( from last month and this month, and calculate your bill);
System.out.println( );

//List prices
System.out.println(Kilowatt-Hours Used Charge);
System.out.println(Less than 1000 7 cents per kWh);
System.out.println(1000-2500 $70, plus 5 cents per kWh for each kWh above 1000);
System.out.println(More than 2500 $145, plus 3 cents per kWh for each kWh above 2500);
System.out.println( );

//Collect input
System.out.print(Please enter last months kWh reading[0-99999]: );
int lastMonth = in.nextInt();
System.out.println( );
System.out.print(Please enter this months kWh reading[0-99999]: );
int thisMonth = in.nextInt();
System.out.println( );

//Determine total kWh used in month
int month = Math.abs(thisMonth - lastMonth);

System.out.println(You entered readings of + lastMonth + and + thisMonth + kWh.);
//If this month’s or last month’s readings are above 99999, tell user
//they inputed an invalid value
if (thisMonth 99999 || lastMonth 99999)
{
System.out.println(You have entered an invalid input value, so no bill will be produced);
}
//If less than 1000 kWh, 7 cents per kWh
else if (month = 1000)
{
double small = 0.07 * month;
System.out.printf(You used + month + kilowatt-hour(s), and you owe $%1.2f., small);
}
//If between 1000 and 2500 kWh, $70 plus 5 cents for each kWh above 1000
else if (month = 2500)

Phenias B asked:


Working as part of the National Science Foundation’s West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WAIS Divide) Ice Core Project, a team of scientists, engineers, technicians, and students from multiple U.S. institutions have recovered a 580-meter (1,900-foot) ice core — the first section of what is hoped to be a 3,465-meter (11,360-foot) column of ice detailing 100,000 years of Earth’s climate history, including a precise year-by-year record of the last 40,000 years.

The dust, chemicals, and air trapped in the two-mile-long ice core will provide critical information for scientists working to predict the extent to which human activity will alter Earth’s climate, according to the chief scientist for the project, Kendrick Taylor of the Desert Research Institute of the Nevada System of Higher Education. DRI, along with the University of New Hampshire, operates the Science Coordination Office for the WAIS Divide Project.

WAIS Divide, named for the high-elevation region that is the boundary separating opposing flow directions on the ice sheet, is the best spot on the planet to recover ancient ice containing trapped air bubbles — samples of the Earth’s atmosphere from the present to as far back as 100,000 years ago.

While other ice cores have been used to develop longer records of Earth’s atmosphere, the record from WAIS Divide will allow a more detailed study of the interaction of previous increases in greenhouse gases and climate change. This information will improve computer models that are used to predict how the current unprecedented high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activity will influence future climate.

The WAIS Divide core is also the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of a series of ice cores drilled in Greenland beginning in 1989, and it will provide the best opportunity for scientists to determine if global-scale climate changes that occurred before human activity started to influence climate were initiated in the Arctic, the tropics, or Antarctica.

The new core will also allow investigations of biological material in deep ice, which will yield information about biogeochemical processes that control and are controlled by climate, as well as lead to fundamental insights about life on Earth.

Says Taylor, We are very excited to work with ancient ice that fell as snow as long as 100,000 years ago. We read the ice like other people might read a stack of old weather reports.

The WAIS project took more than 15 years of planning and preparation, including extensive airborne reconnaissance and ground-based geophysical research, to pinpoint the one-square-kilometer (less than a square mile) space on the 932,000-square-kilometer (360,000-square-mile) ice sheet that scientists believe will provide the clearest climate record for the last 100,000 years.

With only some 40 days a year when the weather is warm enough for drilling — yesterday’s temperature was a balmy -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) — it is expected to take until January 2010 to complete the fieldwork.

For the project, Ice Coring and Drilling Services of the University of Wisconsin-Madison built and is operating a state-of-the-art, deep ice-coring drill, which is more like a piece of scientific equipment than a conventional rock drill used in petroleum exploration. The U.S. Geological Survey National Ice Core Laboratory in Denver designed the core handling system. Raytheon Polar Services Corporation provides the logistical support. The NSF Office of Polar Programs-U.S. Antarctic Program funds the project. The core will be archived at the National Ice Core Laboratory, which is run by the USGS with funding from NSF.

What should I do about this emissions problem in my 2001 Subaru Outback Sudan?

February 17th, 2009

Steve B asked:


I’ve owned a ‘01 Subaru Outback Sedan for a year and a half. I bought it from a family man in Southern New Jersey. It’s required maintenance since I purchased it. Replaced the ball joints, rotors, breaks, tires, spark plugs, O2 sensor, and I got the fuel system flushed. I’ve driven the car almost 40,000 miles since I purchased it. Cross country and my last freelance gig had me traveling everywhere in the car.

For the past few months the car has been sluggish between 1500rpm-2500rpm and that range has widened to possibly 1200rpm-3000rpm now. I can’t accelerate properly when this is happening intermittently when accelerating. Until recently, I could get the car out on the highway no problem and it was just giving me problems sometimes around town. Now occasionally the car stalls when idling. Other times it can’t go in reverse smoothly at all. About 50% of the time it runs fine.

A similar feeling happened when the car couldn’t accelerate uphill easily. The problem was the O2 sensor then. The Engine Knocked when going uphill. A similar uphill phenomenon happened right before I got the spark plugs replaced and the fuel system flushed. Now its happening whenever it feels like it wants to. It could be a vacuum leak, I thought.

I had a chance to drop by Advance Auto today and check the error code because my Check Engine decided to stay on for awhile this time. The error on that device read P1137 Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering. One a website I found this code also means Front oxygen (A/F) sensor circuit range/performance problem.

http://www.troublecodes.net/Subaru/

There’s two O2 sensors in my car, one upstream another downstream, its possible the second sensor is malfunctioning? Should I go back to the shop that fixed the O2 sensor a year ago and ask them fix this? Or could it be an air leak around that sensor? They charged me around $160, they drove me home when I dropped off the car and they are a family operation. I’ve also been referred to a guy that used to work for Subaru and now has his own garage.

#1 Vanessa Hudgens Supporter asked:


The German army in World War I shelled Paris with very large artillery pieces. These so-called ‘Paris Guns’ were actually a combination of two mortars stuck together. Pointed 55 degrees above the horizon, they fired shells with an initial speed of 1700 meters per second.

The guns were first used on March 23, 1918, a few days after the German army launched its last great offensive on the Western front. Three of the guns were located in Crepy-en-Laonnoise (about 8 km west-north-west of Laon), just behind the German lines.

Ok, I will show the parts I have solved so far first.

In the absence of air resistance, what was the range of the ‘Paris’ guns?

D = 277113.43613 m

How long was the shell in the air?

Time = 284.195607202 s

What is the distance from Crepy-en-Laonnoise to Paris?

D = 100 km (aka 100000 meters)

These 2 questions below are where it all falls apart:

If the Germans had wanted to shell London from the same spot in Crepy, what muzzle velocity would the shells have needed?

The distance from London to Crepy is 382797.19 m

Placing artillery on high ground extends its range. If the Germans wanted to shell London from Crepy with their existing ‘Paris’ guns, to what altitude would they have needed to lift the guns?

To be honest, all my attempts have been incorrect and I don’t even think I’m close, so if someone can show me how these 2 parts are done it’d help alot.

I couldn’t even comeup with a system to solve the first problem, so I have no work to show.

As for the second: (And none of this may even be remotely close) I tried it this way:

Vo x = 975.079941797
D Crepy to London/ Vo = T for mortar to make trip
T = 392.580314281 s

D = Vo y * t - 4.9 ( t^2 )
Answer is positive, since its height above ground.
D = 208493.541605 m

This answer is wrong.

Anyway, need help really bad, thanks!

Additional info: Vo y to paris = 1392.55847574 m/s
