Module 1100 Total cost = $47642 + tax = $52406.2 Design Goals: The vehicle is designed to bring a kerbal to the Mun and back preferably in one peice. Launch Goal: We hope to achieve the mun landing milestone. Pilot Plan: Full throttle for as long as possible before overheating kicks in. Drop the four side fuel tanks once the fuel runs out. At 10 k angle the rocket to the side. Once the apoapsis reaches 80ish km, the pilot will kill the throttle until we reach the apoapsis. At the apoapsis, we will burn the reamining fuel in the Jumbo Tank to establish orbit around kerbin. From here we drop the tank and burn at pro-grade once we can see moon while orbiting kerbin. This will lead to a ‘collision’ with the moon. Once a we are close enough, we will establish an orbit. Then we will burn retro-grade to slowly bring us to the surface of the moon. Finally we can return home doing the same thing. Illustrations: Safety Rep: Brandon?

Launch Time: 9:30 Team Members Present: just charlie Play-by-Play: Rocket launch with no issuies. At about 15km the first seperation occured. At this point we were had very little atomphere or gravity pulling us back. Because of this the small fuel tank on the last part of the engine was sufficent to reach orbit. Once the apoapsis reached 100km, i set a new cource for orbit! unforchently I didn't realize my periapsis was too low for orbit. forchently I had enough fuel to correct the orbit. the current periapsis is 71 km above the earth! Time-of-Flight: 6:03 Summary: We succesfully put a kerbal into orbit. It was a good day. Opportunities / Learnings: I learned how to accualy build a rocket and that luke rocket was way too big. Strategies / Project Timeline: The money will be very useful for future goals. Milestone Awards Presented: Achieving stable manned orbit - $50,000 . Available Funds: $110,000 + $50,000 award money + $6538.5(money for recovered parts) = $166538.5

looks good

At 10km the pilot will pt the spacecraft at a 45 degree angle. Once the apoapsis reaches 100km, the pilot will kill the truster until it reaches the apoapsis. At this point, the pilot will burn the trusters putting the aircraft in orbit. Illustrations: Safety Rep: Brandon?

yo dawg. go ahead. looks legit!

u good dawg. go ahead

It seems the search to prove the existence of the elusive Dark Matter might soon come to a close. A Minnesota mine, half a mile under ground, seems to have detected the existence of Dark Matter. For those of you who don't what Dark Matter is, I'll give a brief explanation. The ordinary matter that we can visibly see makes up an estimated 15.5% of the universe. Planets, Stars and pretty much everything else in space is made up of ordinary matter. However 84.5% of the universe's matter is estimated to be Dark Matter. Dark Matter differs from regular matter in the way it interacts or lack of it. Dark matter doesn't emit light or radiation or create a electrostatic or strong nuclear force. So how do we know it exits? Well it because dark matter still has gravitational effects on visible matter. My understanding is that galaxies form spirals because of gravitational effects between the matter in the Galaxy. However our calculations show there isn't enough mass in many of these galaxies to hold them together, therefore we believe that dark matter exists and holds galaxies together. Because dark matter doesn't interact much with regular matter, proving its existence is very difficult. Any ways using a super conductor cooled to 50 millikelvin physicists think they have detected dark matter. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/153782-particle-physicists-discover-strongest-ever-evidence-of-dark-matter

Reiterating Dave's recent blog post, I thought I would review what this last quarter has been like. So this quarter covered the E&M portion of the Physics C course. My general opinion is that the jump from Physics B to Physics C was far easier for mechanics than the jump for E&M. From the first two exams I learned that I was horrendously bad at the E&M free responses. I also found while taking the test, I would realize that I didn't really understand the material as well as I thought. However it seems that with the last two units, I've done better. With the practice free responses, I actually was able to get the majority of the points for the problem where as before I was getting a dismal amount of points. The last two tests, I actually felt like I understood the material and wasn't as stressed during the test. Hopefully the rest of E&M goes like the 2nd half of this quarter and not the first half.

I imagine that if superheated water exploded all over me, it would be super effective in keeping me awake in class that day.

This is quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen. Bravo Joe Bravo.

This is our second independent unit in a row, meaning we haven't had traditional class in a very long time. This one seems a bit more difficult then previous ones though. Unlike previous independent units, I don't remember much about magnetism from last year making it more difficult. Magnetism also employs more complicated math like cross products and calculus based equations then the other independent units. I found it hard to understand the textbook and the only thing that stands out from the lewin videos his obsession with the magnetic monopoles. I feel pretty burnt out at the moment so I'm very glad the break almost here. I'm not sure if I even remember half of the equations from the book so I'm not sure how well I'm going to do on the test. Hopefully I can make it through the test okay, and then I can relax over break.

I seriously hate you for showing us this gif.

Have you seen my handwriting before? I have absolutely no artistic talent what so ever.

Don't understand the relationship between current, voltage and resistance? Maybe this picture will help! [ATTACH=CONFIG]630[/ATTACH]

I found the most amazing video of superconductor levitating from a magnetic field. You absolutely have to watch this video!!! So basically a sapphire is coated with yttrium barium copper oxide. When cooled to -301oF, the saphire becomes a superconductor. The superconductor experiences no electrical resistance. For some reason the magnetic fields aren't able to penetrate because the superconductor expels fields from the inside. This leads to something called quantum locking which holds the superconductor in place. This is a quantum mechanism so its a bit beyond our knowledge of physics to understand, but none the less, its really awesome!!!

Has your hand ever been so cold that it went numb? Well how about when it was 90o and you were outside in the sun, no, well this has happened to me before. Over the summer I worked part time at clover home leisure. Part of my job was to fill up propane tanks. Normally not a big deal, but sometimes we get massive propane tanks with purge valves. While filling, the purge valve forces the air out. When tank is done filling, the purge value starts spitting out massive amounts of propane. Propane stored in the tanks is very very cold to allow more gas to be stored. So I have to reach my hand into the cloud of propane gas and twist the purge valve shut as it is spitting out the ice cold propane(frost will literally form on the tank while I shut the value) . So one day a guy came in with 14 of these purge tanks. By the time I had finished filling the tanks my hand had been frozen and thawed and refrozen and rethawed far too many times. So my story kinda got away from me so I should probably relate this to physics. Thermodynamics was included in our physics class last year and as we learned PV=nRT. From this equation we get that n, the number of moles or amount of gas is inversely proportional to the temperature. If we want to put as much gas into the tank as possible we have three options, cool the gas down, make stronger tanks that can withstand more pressure, or alter the fabrics of the universe so that the gas constant R is a smaller value. Naturally cooling the gas is the most wildly used method (altho for my hand’s sake I’d prefer if we invested in the third option). Thus this is the reason why the propane gas is so cold when stored in a fuel tank.

I feel as if the second question is biased and unfair. 1) 1.25 A in positive j 2) Mulan?

I've been very disappointed in the lack of cookie problems. the dog has magnetic field of 1.257x10-4 T The arcade is pizza planet arcade.

I seem to have a acquired a mutation of the virus that has caused me to stop caring about only one class... pig speaking of which, i should start working on my pig project sometime soon...

The navy is developing a prototype for an Electromagnetic Rail Gun. The Rail Gun would be use massive magnetic fields to accelerate a projectile at over 5000 miles per hour. The projectiles would have so much kinetic energy that warheads would become unnecessary components to the projectile. The projectile would be able to devastate a bunker just by making impact with it, making explosives unnecessary. Clearly such a weapon would be extremely useful in a wartime situation.

The Mag lab near Tallahassee has created a 45 Tesla Magnet. This Magnet is 800,000 more powerful than the earth magnetic field. The Magnet was build by placing a coil of wire inside a coil of wire inside a coil of wire ... creating a massive magnetic field. The Magnet proved so strong that a camera crew lost half its recordings just by being in the same building as the magnet.

Have you ever wondered if physics would be applicable to your life? How can you make what you learned in physics useful? Well Physicist Dmitri Krioukov used physics to get out of paying a $400 traffic ticket. Dmitri Krioukov wrote a paper titled "The Proof of Innocence" to explain to the judge that his traffic violation for running a stop sign was the result of the officer suffering from an optical illusion. The end result, Mr Krioukov no longer has to pay the ticket!! This proves one of two things, knowing physics can prove your innocence, or if make up a bunch of complicated stuff, someone who isn’t proficient in that field will believe it! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/16/dmitri-krioukov-physicist_n_1429545.html
