I don't think the mass is the problem there; is it not that in the clarified version of the question we don't know the angle of the slope itself (only the angle between the force and the slope)?  I think you'd need the angle of the slope to calculate the height change. 

If you had that I think you could then use trig to calculate mg as the vertical component of the 300N (assuming a frictionless slope and constant speed).

I may have that all totally wrong though, as I say it's been a long time.

Edit: Nevermind, just realized that we don't have the object's mass.

Don't we?

F_y = F*sin 40 = m*g because it's moving upwards at a constant speed

So m = (F*sin 40/g)

W_total = W_x + W_y

W_total = F*cos 40*S*cos 40 + F*sin 40*S*sin 40 = F*S*(cos² 40 + sin² 40) = F*S = 90000 for S - distance, assuming it is given for slope

If it is = S_x:

W_total = S*F*cos 40 + F*sin 40*S*ctg 40 = 137888 rounded up from 7.999

Did I miss something here? I probably did :3

Yeah, I wanted the mass to calculate the energy, and you used that energy to obtain the mass

Silly LSP, you can't call something "corn-flavored" if it already has real corn in it.

[Spehss _]

Corn flavored corn? Corn flavored corn studded with spikes of minced corn?

[Frumple]

Silly LSP, you can't call something "corn-flavored" if it already has real corn in it.

Sure you can? It'd just have to taste like corn. Well. Maybe not even then. It's a fuzzy thing, advertising, and they have special words for what most people call "Lying out your ass" that somehow makes blatant deception not false advertisement.

Also, isn't erdnuss... peanuts? Technically you wouldn't need any actual peanut in the corn chip, just peanut flavoring. Which they have that via peanut butter and whatnot. Not sure the exact ratio, but I heavily doubt there is one. Just... some. Enough you can taste it. Or enough you can claim it as part of your ingredient list and say it's peanut flavored, even if it really isn't.

Least that's more or less how it seems to go in the states. Consult someone who actually knows advertising law for your specific area, LSP. It varies from region to region.

well if you have to know, i live on the same street as mech#4

don't tell them though

Does anyone know how media changes after a big war? Videogames would be good, but any examples are good. I'm thinking mainly of wars that involve the populace rather deeply, so while changes in America media after 9/11 would be a good example, changes in American media after Iraq I wouldn't be so interested in.

Try getting your hands on George Orwell's collected writings (may be on Project Gutenberg). The part after '45 may be what you're looking for, especially since Orwell was both completely undogmatic and piercingly accurate in his writing.

[Fniff]

Some of his essays are up on Gutenberg. You and the Atomic Bomb is especially enlightening, considering the theme of "democratic weapons and tyrannical weapons" which is very appropriate for what I need the info for.

[Helgoland]

The idea has been disproven by our current day and age, though: The main weapons are the rifle and the IED, and yet democracy is receding.

[Fniff]

Well, we still have nukes. Really, a weapon that is fired once (Resulting in utter horror and devastation at the push of a button) is more intimidating then a weapon that has been fired multiple times that always results in very localized destruction. How can you challenge a government when the government is able to obliterate not only you, but everyone within your city at the same time while also being hundreds of miles away?

I digress. Thanks for the info!

I have three questions:
How fast would a car need to move to be invisible?
How many times a second does a human eye send information to the brain?
How fast would you need to run to outrun a mosquito?
