    How to measure and calculate drift of falling object in air

    I was wondering how to calculate the drift of an object that is falling though air. If I know the mass, air density, and velocity of an object that is falling how can I calculate its movement off the center of he drop point. I.E if you looking down on a grid with x and y on the side how many x...

    The shock required to detonate C4

    The only way I know of how to blow up C4 is though a blasting cap. You can hook up and electrical switch t the blasting cap to set the blasting cap off then the C4. I would say the min would be what the blasting cap can do, C4 is extreamly stable you can even set it on fire and stomp on it with...

    Calculating Gas Density at Altitude: Simple Equation for Terminal Velocity

    Hi I found an formula for calculating gas density at height it anyone needs it p = 100 * ((44331 * 514 - z)/ (11880 * 516)) p is density and z is altitued in meters.

    Calculating Gas Density at Altitude: Simple Equation for Terminal Velocity

    Hi I have been reading a lot about how to calculate gas density and I am stumped. What I would like to know is how to calculate the gas density as apposed to altitude so I can use it in the terminal velocity equation found here http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/termv.html I would like...

    How to Calculate Total Mass of a Person with Additional Gear?

    What I have now if the mass of a human found by this m = density x velocity which is 189.16lb or 85.79 kg for about 175lb person. density = 1010 kg/m3 volume = 3ft^3 but then I thought that this guy will have about 200 extra lbs of wight and a parachute along with that. How should I go...
