Well, if you are talking about being stuck on an island without a hammer (or C4, always C4) Then you could drop a large boulder on the coconut.

I was actually talking about banging 2 halves together to simulate horse feet sounds (like in The Holy grail by monty Python)

taht movie was my favoite of all movies...


But I HAVE A QUESTION... Trust me, this one is hard.


1.what is the force in Newtons of 58.14 kg of compressed C-16 (compression ratio 187%)in a soild lead cylinder(closed in one end[where the explosives are]) with a (length 5m long) (inner circ. of 1.086 meters) in space?

2. If there was 30.31 Kg bullet (circumference of 1.08581 m)inside the cylinder with the c-16 when the c-16 exploded, and the bullet left the tube what would the force of the impact of the bullet against another object?

3.what would its terminal velocity be?

4.What would its initial velocity be?

5.How long would it take it to leave the tube and stike a object 100 meters away?


Figure this out, and you will be my hero!

Don't help HMC with her homework xD

its not homework!!!!

I wanna make a videogame when i get older....

and the Math wiz noxstant, all my hard calcuatons would be finished.

Good luck finding an engine to input these specifications. Physics simulator?

Here is the data (large inhale)

1. A lot of unnecessary information.

Force = MA

F = 58.14kg (x)

(X) = 187% compression ratio x standard blast force (270,000 joules - as discovered by me) + 4/10 of light speed (72,000 mi sec 2) =

774,900 joules of force + [ 72,000 x 58.14] 4,960,980

That means 4,960,980 N-1 mi sec2 or 4.9 x 10(6)

2 - 5

I hate to tell you this, but there is a gaping hole in question number 2.

Newton's laws of motion state that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The bullet with the c-16 would most likely be ionized by the intense heat, but if it was massive enough, the compression of the canister would become too great and a massive explosion would take place, destroying half of the ship.

If you find an engine that you can plug things like this in, could you inform me?

Also, if you do, it will be realistic and what I described will most likely occur. (exhale)

Thank you so much!

No problem. Though be sure when you finish this game, whenever that may be, you send

me a copy, okay?

Same here xD

Of course it probably won't happen for a another 10 years.

I could in theory have mailed this question to you but I think sharing it with the world (there exists nothing outside of the code of this Forum!!!) would be a better idea.

For interstellar travel, what would you propose?
Synthetic Wormholes?
Hyperspace? (Interpret Hyperspace however you like)
Solar Sails?

Add any other ideas you might want to add. (The outcome of this question will most likely not affect the plans for the ISSTraV, Nox knows what I'm talking about).
