The Ask Mickeko Thread!

Sunday, April 5, 2009 by mickeko | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Ask me anything, I answer all questions (*).

You may get a stupid answer, an incorrect answer, or maybe even the RIGHT answer... Who knows...

Any answer given that is true and correct (as far as I know or in my opinion where applicable) will be marked with a  .

 

(*) - Exceptions: Personal questions or any other questions I don't feel like answering may not be answered. Being polite might help in these cases...

What is the air-speed velocity of an uladen swallow?

 

Now I come to think of it, what is the national language of uladen and why do they eat so quickly?

^ get him jafo.

What would he do with a 'jafo' (whatever that might be)?

Is it Oops! or Whoops!! ?

"Oops" refers to a mistake one perpetrates on someone else. "Whoops" refers to the same but liquids and falling on one's arse is usually involved.

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

Wrong premise: Man did not evolve from monkeys and apes. Humans, apes and monkeys all evolved (diverged) from a common ancestor.

A really strong, triangularly shaped cork fed in apex first along with 150 litres of KaoPectate. And a ticket to Australia.

Right I can't get her.

You may think you want your dream girl, but really, you don't. It's a dreadful thing to live up to, and putting some poor girl through expectations like that is definetely not right. We're all human, as such, we're all different. What you need is the *right* girl - She's probably not even close to how you imagine your dream girl, but you'll be happier with her.

No its wrong.

It's not wrong. It may not be what you expected or wanted it to be though.

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

Because evolution realised it may have been a stupid idea.

Lot's of clear space...

The road to inner peace is long and may at some times seem fruitless. Don't focus your energies on uladen, they do not need it.

LOL Doc!

I don't see the future in that crystal ball though, it's my touch screen.

Youtube is littered with Johnny too. As with all american talkshows, alot of the political jokes are lost on me, but there's tons of greatness to see even for me.

Consider a celestial body (planet) of mass M and volume V consisting of material of uniform density M/V. If the body is spherical, then its radius is R=(3V/4{pi})1/3, and the free-fall acceleration on its surface is g=GM/R2=GM(4{pi}/3V)2/3, where G is the gravitational constant. Consider all possible shapes of the body. What is the largest g, that can be achieved at one point on a surface, and what is the shape of the body for which such acceleration is achieved?

Clearly, as R->0, g-> infinity. The maximum will be achieved as a "Black Hole" on it's event horizon, as a singularity. As R->0, M/V will also approach infinity, as V->0.

Why ask a question where the answer is already included? Just do the math. I'm not a calculator.

Max g = (4/5)(15/4)1/3(π)2/3M/V2/3

Let R be the max diameter of body then its shape will be given by relating distance r from the point, where there is max g,

as a function of the angle θ from the axis of symmetry.

r2 = R2cos(θ)
