There are only 3 components if the force/acceleration vector ISN'T along the same line as the reference axis. Why would anyone do that unless there are other forces/vectors/axes involved ?

It was the controller for a GenRad (1795?) functional tester. We also used DataGeneral Nova and PDP11/23 computers for system test.

Take a geodesic dome and attach the parts to each other, on the flat. http://www.domerama.com/software/geodesic-software/

Is there any such thing as pure energy, or could Matter BE energy of a particular form ?

If it is held at anything other than vertical, it will get closer and closer to a straight line, but never achieve it.

Crumpling a sheet of paper. It is HUGELY complicated/impossible to mathematically model.

From your perspective, the bullet would follow it's normal parabolic (?) trajectory, just without air resistance.

Use it as normal. It may not work as well as fresh stuff, but it probably will.

Irrelevant if the axis of the gyro is parallel to Earth's axis

In my limited experience, pulse power can be a lot higher, but average power considerably lower.

Candela is not light output, it is intensity in a particular direction

There are readily available 240 -> 120V transformers available for using power tools on building sites. They are generally "autotransformers" in that the secondary is simply half way through the primary i.e. centre tap, no isolation. You CAN use any twin-primary transformer by just connecting...

I said "they don't act like SIMPLE resistors. They ALL have a temperature constant, they ALL have inductance and capacitance
