1) Your Post (YP)#15229188: Given a choice between being hit by a chunk of ice at a few tens of mph, and a chunk of foam with the a tenth of the mass at hundreds of mph, you're better off with the ice.
Let's say the velocity of the ice is 10mph, its mass is M and the velocity of the foam is 1000 mph with mass 0.1*M. The KE of ice is then 0.5*M*100 (units are left as an exercise for the reader), the KE of the foam is then 0.5*0.1*M*1000000. Then we can conclude..... absolutely nothing because KE isn't the absolute answer to collision dynamics. There is also the very significant factor of energy absorbed by the deformation of the projectile and the area of effect on the body that was hit. In essence, we could debate this quite extensively here, but without some nice FEM models we're not going to get an answer very soon.
2) YP#15229329 No, but it looks like you missed the term relative velocity
I didn't, because the parent to your post didn't mention it. In fact, I believe 'iamlucky13' mentioned an absolute velocity of 500 mph.
3) No post in particular.
It's a trade-off, allways has been allways will. You need the foam, because you don't want very large chunks of ice AND you (really) don't want to heat up the liquid propellant stored in the tank. Foam vs ice is therefore something which should be studied very closely. The only concrete valuable thing your astronaut friend mentioned, is that you can't just keep adding foam to let the ice problem go away.
Actually men and women have the same ability to multitask. There is no significant difference. All recent studies confirm this.
Yup, really convinced me here. Such strong logic and impeccable references. How could I resist?
There is also no significant difference in average IQ - women certainly aren't higher on average. The one big difference with IQ is that women are more tightly centred around the average whereas men are more varied, meaning that there are more men at the bottom of the scale and more men at the top. (Oh, and women tend to be best at verbal while men are best at spatial and mathematical - though these have huge overlap with recent studies suggesting much lower sex biases than previously thought).
If you think IQ and intelligence are the same thing, you've got bigger problems.
While we're busting myths, I should also point out that men have higher pain thresholds than women, so you shouldn't believe everything your local feminist tells you.
That's right, I don't have any basses for this idea. That's probably why I didn't mention it.
I can guess where you got your bullshit ideas from: for the last few decades there has been an increasing amount of "women can do anything" stories culminating in "women are better than men at everything, including what men were thought to be good at!" but it is not true. In fact, we are starting to find that most of the so-called "sex differences" are the result of culture rather than actual in-built biases, and with a minimum of training the differences become insignificant.
Can we agree that the women vs men debate is just to stupid for words? Because of cultural and social differences, the populations just vary to much. For instance I've read (but don't remember where, so take this seriously at your own peril) that the lack of spatial reasoning in women is due to the loss of iron during menstruation. A better diet could remedy that quite easily.
Stop believing the daytime Oprah show and look into the actual research. I suggest PubMed if you don't have access to University Ovid subscriptions.
I'll just stick to the Discovery Channel for subjects I only have a mild interest in.
Of course, brute strength does provide you with some advantage, but I'm pretty sure withstanding G forces is more about power/mass ratio than absolute power. I've noticed that smaller people tend to have the advantage there as well.
Withstanding G-'forces' is about heart-brain distance more then anything else. Women therefore have a definate advantage. Women also have better multitasking abillities and on average higher intelligence. Men have a better abillity to focus on one task. Men generally are stronger and have higher stamina.
The best fighter pilot team would be a women flying, and a man shooting and navigating.
The man has to navigate, because we all know women can't read maps.
Actually, I liked the sets for Enterprise and I thought they did an okay job of making it look "retro." But you're right in that it took place 100 years before Star Trek and yet some things looked "more modern" than Star Trek. My favorite example? The flat screen in Archer's quarters versus the CRT in Kirk's quarters. You'd also see the odd effect of things like bulky phase pistols and communicators next to sleek scanners.
Then you must have loved that alternate universe episode "in a mirror, darkly", where alt. Archer encounters a ship from Kirk's era and goes all mushy because it' so high-tech.
