Wind change for frames 2 and 3 please note.

[Squire]

- Wind: 0-10K NW TO SE - Speed 5
        10K-18K W TO E - Speed 10
        18k-26K W TO E - Speed 20
        26k+ SW TO NE - Speed 40

I am changing the settings as above. If you want to fly at high alt go ahead, but there will be a higher cross wind. I have thought about this, and I am happier with this as the lesser of the other alternatives available. I know I wont please everybody, but thats the way it goes.

Just a thought, is it possible that you can get the weather report of the area during that time?  Then add it on to the event?

[Saxman]

I think he's saying that IS what the wind layers are in Frame 2.

Incidentally, does anyone know what the rate at which the bombs drop actually IS?

If it's modeled properly, when you drop bombs they accelerate at 32 feet per second, per second.

Ok...

So what's their terminal velocity? Bombs don't continue accelerating all the way to the ground, do they?

[oakranger]

Hummm, i do not think they will increase in speed.  The only thing that is pushing them to the earth is gravity. And gravity stays consisten.  But you have a good question there, saxman.

[gyrene81]

I'm guessing this would help...any math wizards here?

I'm sure I entered something wrong but for a 250kg bomb I got 83.3971 meters/second. But that has to assume that air density doesn't change until it hits the ground.

Objects accelerate at 9.8m/s^2 until they reach their terminal velocity. That's gravity

[Saxman]

Yeah, but what IS the terminal velocity of bombs IN THE GAME, and what is their rate of acceleration IN THE GAME?

[gyrene81]

Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead...only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon.


There is no "terminal velocity" in the AH environment...it's a cyber-make believe world.

All I know is below........  But I do know objects will fall slower and slower based on........................

Ok...

Humidity...... 

At 8:15 a.m. local time, the bomb known as Little Boy
dropped free at an altitude of 31,000 feet. 43 seconds later,
at 1,890 feet above zero elevation, it exploded.

Ok, never took physics.  All i know about gravity is that it pushes. 

[branch37]

Gravity doesn't push, it pulls   

[oakranger]

Gravity doesn't push, it pulls   

That what we thought, but it has been study and found that it pushes. 

[AKP]

Gravity doesn't push, it pulls  

Not according to today's physics community.  The theory now is that gravity is a force that PUSHES inward on all objects in the universe.  The more mass the object has, the more force is applied to it.  But I am no physicist    But it has something to do with the theories they are coming up with that try to define the origins of the universe, rate of expansion, blah... blah, blah... blah, blah.

All I really need to know is that if the roadrunner drops the anvil off a cliff, it will hit the coyote and turn him into an accordion.
