Can I turn this unit upside down and use it?

It is probably not advisable, I believe engineers take the effects of gravity into consideration when designing things. Can you imagine those heavy components falling into electrical cabling, sounds like a hair raising experience!!!!!
Think I mean ,very emphatically, that you should not do it


GOOD LUCK

An object undergoes free fall for 126m on a fictitious planet (Whoosedat) It takes 6.00s to travel 126m. What is the acceleration of gravity on Whoosedat?

For any free-falling object, the distance traveled by that object can be represented as:

s = 1/2 g t2


where

s = distance traveled by the object, g = gravity, t = time




So, if we resolve for g, we get:



g = (2 x s) / t2




So, by replacing the known values we get the acceleration of gravity for that planet:

g = 7 m/s2

How does a sattelite fall if there is no gravity in space

Gravity is a force that causes a mass/object to be attracted to another mass/object similar to magnetism. Gravity is not an object itself located in any particular place like earth or space.
The satellites stay in orbit around the earth because the force propelling the satellites forward away from the earth is balanced by the gravity pulling them back to earth.
The satellites move too slow and they fall back to earth. If they move too fast, they fly out further into space and out of orbit.
I hope this answers your question.

1982 500cc honda silverwing, bike is charging @ aprox. 11.5v , also when right signal is put on right side running lights go out, are the 2 conected(ground short) ? or maybe stater? , new to bikes with no...

1st, Your alternator is charging real heavy. the lower yhe voltage the hidher the amps. 2nd, yes, Turn on one and the other dima is indicarive of a poor ground which would in turn affect the charging rate. Nowm The bad ground is more than likely the battery cable on the negative. But, Check the other end of the cable also. good luck- Ned

Snowbard rack safety

not specific for snowboard buy general rack use : 1. The Lighter the Better Most minivan roof racks are designed for carrying lightweight objects -- like skis, small ladders, well-secured aerodynamic cargo containers (like those offered by Thule) and other light loads. 2. Mind the Center of Gravity Putting heavy boxes, bulky luggage and other weighty objects on your roof will raise the center of gravity of your vehicle, which could increase the chances of a rollover during emergency maneuvering or in the event of an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) also encourages drivers to follow auto manufacturer guidelines for roof rack usage. * Rollover Risk: Load Vehicles Properly [NHTSA] 3. Strap and Secure Improperly secured roof cargo can also fly off and strike vehicles travelling behind you, sometimes with tragic results. Remember: Only put lightweight objects on your roof rack, secure cargo properly with tie-downs and strong cord, and consider purchasing an aerodynamic cargo container if you plan on using your roof rack to frequently carry light loads.

Big cliff height measurment?

You could do a bit of research as i can't remember the math's from my college days, but, it is possible to calculate the distance something travels by using its rate of descent against the time it takes to reach the ground, for instance, if gravity is measured at 9.81N/m per sec squared, then an object must speed up at the same rate from standstil every time unless the earths gravitational pull changed. If you then timed how long it takes to hit the ground you could do a simple calculation offsetting the rate of descent against time which would then give your distance. The calculation is - distance = speed x time, but you would need to factor in the the rate of change in the speed of the object from standstill to finish which is the bit i can't remember.
