i see what you are saying, but the groups with recessive alleles are the ones who usually try to demonstrate their "superiority." i.e. nazis, caucasians in general, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going after any individual person (except Hitler, Musilini, etc.) I myself am caucasian. But...

I'm having a problem with another related problem. If I wanted to find terminal velocity, the Cd=1.17, the Ac=.4522 m^2 and the weight equalled 5.67 grams or.0556037055 Newtons and the air density is 1.184 with no turbulance, what do you get? I think the problem may be my...

I was given the above equation in order to find drag coefficient through estimation and Reynolds Number. Where would I find a Reynolds Number - Cd Chart?

I understand most of the equation. [tex] Re=\rho *D *V over a symbol I don't recognize I don't know what the symbol is the denominator, and I can't find its name so I don't know what it means. I just need one definition, thanks.

Have you ever noticed that people with recessive alleles were considered (or considered themselves) superior. Throughout American history, people with light skin (recessive) were widely considered superior (which is not true of course). And during WW2, the Aryan Race (yellow hair, light skin)...

I write poetry, and the only time I write one that rhymes is when I'm not trying to convey an important message. But on the subject of the initial question, I feel that rhyming poems are more pleasant because, in most cases, it seems like a song sung acopella (I don't think I spelled that...

Thank you to all who helped me with this problem. And thanks for the link to the mathematical symbols.

That is exactly my point. I don't think that ants "sleep" they are in an altered state of consciouness.

Thanks for the info. For the cross-sectional area, do I use centimeters or meters? And I still don't know where to find the mathematical symbols to put in my replies. Can you tell me where they are?

I think creativity is brought on by genetic and external sources. For example, the external forces could be having a parent or close friend being an artist or writer. A genetic source would be the way of bringing your idea to "life." For example, If you wanted to be writer, you would need a...

Thanks for pointing that out Moo Of Doom, Being as the original qeustion, what are the chances of pulling the same card from a deck twice in a row, probability would probably be the way to go. I just got phrases mixed up. I'm glad people are paying attention.

I'm realize now that I placed the decimal point one space to the left while figuring out the cross-sectional area (oops). But for some reason I don't see where you got 30 m.p.h. If I plug in 1.17 for Cd, 11.34 g. for weight, .46353465 m^2 for Ac and 1.184 for air density, I get about 10.9914...

The fact is, if I already knew the Cd, I wouldn't have to use the Fd equation. I'd just use the terminal velocity equation of Vt= sqrt 2weight pAcCd And I did find the terminal velocity ofa quarter. It's 83.136...

I feel the most simplistic way to explain this would be by flipping a coin. What are the odds of flipping the coin and getting the same result twice in a row? 2:1 But the odds of getting a preselected result (let's say heads) twice in a row is 4:1 The odds of getting heads on the first...

I'm just wondering... wouldn't infinite squared and 2^infinite be the same?because you can't get higher than the concept of infinite? As stated earlier in the thread, infinite times infinite equals infinite. And 2 to the infinite power would be 2X2X2X2... with no end which means it is...
