- ... the formulas. Everything about to be described effects another characteristic of the boat's handling and capabilities. When talking of sailboats, buoyancy and stability are the first two areas of concern. With the force of high speeds, the boat must stand true in the water and move precisely. There are two "centers" of concern in a sailboat that should be described. These are areas where numerous forces exerted on the boat ... basic hydro-dynamics have been covered, the wind and sails are still left to discuss. Air moves in parallel streams that are very difficult to deflect. Low pressure air is far less dense than a high pressure area. A sail will achieve a low pressure area on the convex side giving it maximum lift. A sail is the same as a sideways airplane wing. On diagram A below, a sail is ...
- 5997: Hail
- ... When the wind is blowing hailstones are at their worst. The most common places to see hail is in Texas, through the Great Plains and up into Alberta, Canada.

Microwaves and their Use The idea of cooking with radiation may seem like ... plywood, roast coffee beans, kill weeds and insects, and cure rubber. Microwaves trigger garage door openers and burglar alarms. The new cellular car phone is a microwave instrument.

- ... been achieved otherwise.) The average ATM network runs as three-times the speed of the Fast-Ethernet and approximately twenty-five-times that of a basic (switched) Token Ring. ATM is able to achieve these high speeds due to the constant high-bandwidth (made possible by Asynchronism) and the ability to simultaneously transmit multiple media formats (made possible by ATM topology and Asynchronism.) The structure, or topology, of an ATM revolves around the use of cells (unlike ...
