Because a flame needs two things to burn:

Oxygen and fuel. And the rest of the stuff that's in the air (mostly nitrogen) doesn't work as fuel, so the air by itself can't burn.

Because it's pronounced ˈjʊə.ɹəp, the first sound is a soft j not one of the 5 vowels (a,e,i,o,u) and it's only the pronunciation, not the speelling that determines the choice of an/a

You know that

T = 4.5% × H

Where T is the Tax and H the total inheritance.

To figure out the total inheritance you simply divide the Tax by the Percentage, so

H = T/4.5%

In your case the inheritance would have been 622 and a bit grand

If the update is to existing assets, the old version will just be removed.

E.g. if they changed the colour of an object, they can just delete the old texture file and just keep the new one

Yeah I think engineering more efficient solar might be a better investment than trying to GMO a plantable phone charger....

There's already technology to create power from sunlight. It's called solar.

There's no point in trying to get a plant to do it

The reCaptcha service is owned by Google, and it feeds a whole bunch of data, exactly what Google won't tell us, into one big machine learning algorithm that spits out a score how likely it thinks you are a bot, and depending on what that score is the site then deals with your request.. Checking the box is mostly unnecessary, and the newest versions of captcha don't even have it anymore, they just run silently in the background without you even knowing.

As I said, so long as it's the same type of liquid you absolutely can. The weighted average for equal portions simply would be the average

But if you have different liquids that doesn't work because different liquids can store different amounts of heat

Assuming constant heat capacities for the 2 fluids, and no heat loss to the environment we can use conservation of energy to figure this out

Definitions:

C: heat capacity (J/kg/K)

T: Temperature (K)

m: Mass (kg)

Energy After mixing: C_Mix × T_Mix × m_mix

Energy before mixing: C_Liquid1 × T_Liquid1 × m_Liquid1 + C_Liquid2 × T_Liquid2 × m_Liquid 2

We can also use the following relations:

m_mix = m_L1 + m_L2

C_Mix = (C_L1 × m_L1 + C_L2 × m_L2)/m_mix

From this we can solve for the mixture temperature, skipping the algebra and getting straight to the result:

T_Mix = (T_L1 × m_L1× C_L1 + T_L2 × m_L2 × C_L2)/(m_L1×C_L1 + m_L2 × C_L2)

In words, we can say that the temperature of the resulting mix is equal to the weighted average of the two input temperatures weighted by their corresponding thermal mass (C×m)

(E: for mixing two portions of the same liquid, the thermal capacities are equal and can be canceled. The result in that case is simply the weighted average of the two Temps, weighted by the mass of each liquid. Since liquids ~ inkompressible you could also weight them by Volume for the same result in this case)

E2: This only applies to (E3: inert) liquids mixing, as u/E_B_Jamisen pointed out, for your given temps you would have ice and hot water mixing, or ice and steam if you're more than a few dozen metres higher than sea level.

>There are some exceptions carved out for religious views, like in the case of sexual orientation,

Which is really fucking stupid.

Except for the fact that the US is literally one of two countries that haven't adopted metric.

But yeah, just like any other country

>Note that the watt is a standard unit of power in the SI system. However we still use things like horsepower (1 HP = 746 W) and BTU/hr as non-SI unit measures of power. One used even today for engine power output and the other for cooling and/or heating

The US just has a furious hatred for standardisation, don't they ?

Because as unlikely as a failure is, the consequences of one would be horrendous. If it failed at high altitude it would be far worse than fukushima or tschernobyl, it's simply not worth the risk

There's three major advantages to having the engines in the back:

1. The Engine truss provides a convenient structural carrying element for stacking stages, since the engines need to a structural truss to attach too anyway.

2. Because acceleration from the engine causes the fuel to pool at the rear end of the tank, the fuel outlet has to be there. Engines in the back means both less head required for the turbopumps, since they are aided by the acceleration of the vehicle, rather than having to suck fuel against it. For the same reasom they'd also be much less prone to fuel cavitation. And lastly the engines being close to the fuel outlet obviously means significantly shorter feed lines.

3. Not blasting hot exhaust gases past/against your big tank of explosive fuels.

All 3 points are most crucial for chemical high thrust engines. For things like ion drives they are less relevant.

Yes because the justice system has famously never done something like coerce a confession, or falsely sentence someone.

No need at all for an innocent person to be nervous in a police interview.

That's not at all what it means. And it makes no sense. Net energy positive has nothing at all to do with cost or price of development. And as I said, comparing output value to production cost (rather than running cost) also makes no sense without a time span.

If you run it long enough, even a trillion dollar reactor that produces only a milliwatt of power will eventually have produced more value out than it's production cost.
