![]() The figure shows the forces acting on meteoroids falling through the Earth's upper atmosphere. However, when the air density cannot be assumed to be constant, such as for objects falling from high altitude, the equation of motion becomes much more difficult to solve analytically and a numerical simulation of the motion is usually necessary. Using the figure of 56 m/s for the terminal velocity of a human, one finds that after 10 seconds he will have fallen 348 metres and attained 94% of terminal velocity, and after 12 seconds he will have fallen 455 metres and will have attained 97% of terminal velocity. If gravity is the only influence acting, then the acceleration is always downward and has the same magnitude for all bodies, commonly denoted g Technically, an object is in free fall even when moving upwards or instantaneously at rest at the top of its motion. as long as air resistance is negligible in comparison to weight). An object thrown upward or a person jumping off the ground at low speed (i.e.An object dropped at the top of a drop tube.in a continuous orbit, or on a suborbital trajectory ( ballistics) going up for some minutes, and then down). A spacecraft (in space) with propulsion off (e.g. ![]() ( July 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Įxamples of objects in free fall include: Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ![]() Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. This article possibly contains original research. According to Shlomo Pines, al-Baghdādī's theory of motion was "the oldest negation of Aristotle's fundamental dynamic law, anticipation in a vague fashion of the fundamental law of classical mechanics. In 12th-century Iraq, Abu'l-Barakāt al-Baghdādī gave an explanation for the gravitational acceleration of falling bodies. Although, in the 6th century, John Philoponus challenged this argument and said that, by observation, two balls of very different weights will fall at nearly the same speed. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) discussed falling objects in Physics (Book VII), one of the oldest books on mechanics (see Aristotelian physics). In the Western world prior to the 16th century, it was generally assumed that the speed of a falling body would be proportional to its weight-that is, a 10 kg object was expected to fall ten times faster than an otherwise identical 1 kg object through the same medium. Main article: History of gravitational theory The aerodynamic drag forces in such situations prevent them from producing full weightlessness, and thus a skydiver's "free fall" after reaching terminal velocity produces the sensation of the body's weight being supported on a cushion of air. Thus, falling through an atmosphere without a deployed parachute, or lifting device, is also often referred to as free fall. The term "free fall" is often used more loosely than in the strict sense defined above. an astronaut in orbit) and its surrounding objects, it will result in the sensation of weightlessness, a condition that also occurs when the gravitational field is weak (such as when far away from any source of gravity). ![]() When there are no other forces, such as the normal force exerted between a body (e.g. In a roughly uniform gravitational field gravity acts on each part of a body approximately equally. The Moon is thus in free fall around the Earth, though its orbital speed keeps it in very far orbit from the Earth's surface. An object moving upwards might not normally be considered to be falling, but if it is subject to only the force of gravity, it is said to be in free fall. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.Īn object in the technical sense of the term "free fall" may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.

Very Good + Condition.Welcome to Fender guitars for sale! Fender has long been synonymous with quality craftsmanship, iconic tones, and undeniable style. It lives in a later (1960s) original grey Fender Mustang case that is pretty well worn but still functional. The original small frets have some wear, but playability is still quite good. ![]() The plastic buttons have been replaced on the original Kluson tuners, and the two end saddle screws on the bridge are replaced as well. Internally the pickup, pots and electronics remain original. The metal pickguard has some fairly heavy picking wear on the lower half, as is often typical with these that's why Fender discontinued this feature in mid-'59! The plastic pickup cover and other metal parts show some typical wear, but nothing tragic. The neck finish shows a bit more wear with some dents and chips, especially on the fingerboard. This extends somewhat down the back of the neck which has also been buffed out a bit, but not to the fingerboard. The Fender logo decal has chipped away somewhat the headstock has had a clear overspray added, probably to protect the crumbling decal. The body finish is scuffed in spots and may have been buffed out long ago but is surprisingly free of the common dings, dents, and chips. This is a good-playing original example of the first-generation Musicmaster showing some general wear and tear. (3.8 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. (31.1 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1/2 in. This example has had some adventures over the decades but not been stripped of its more valuable parts (knobs, neckplate, pots, and wiring) as so many have and remains a very cool and relatively affordable genuine 1950s Fender guitar. The Musicmaster is not Fender's most versatile guitar but as good sounding one, with a surprising warmth and depth through the right amp. The original anodized metal pickguard has a decent amount of strum wear but still looks cool! The neat, comfortable little neck has the classic '57 Fender "soft V" profile. The pots are coded to the 45th week of 1956 combined with the serial number that suggests an assembly date of early 1957. This guitar has no penciled neck date on the heel, which is unusual for this period but not unheard of. The Musicmaster features a short-scale maple neck and a single pickup in the neck position with volume and tone controls. They were designed to be good enough to get kids hooked on playing electric, but not so flashy as to stop them still lusting after a new Stratocaster down the road! Built to expand the company's hold on the teaching studio/young student market, these guitars were many 1950s and '60s players' first electric, far more playable than most and stylish in an understated way. This is a nicely worn-in and fairly early example of Fender's first student guitar: the unassuming but very functional Musicmaster.

Even spells without an added benefit can be cast from a higher level slot, they just don't do any more than they would out of the slot they normally use. If the character has a spell that can be cast in a higher level slot for added effect, the character can do so. This means the character has four 1st-level and two 2nd-level slots.

The only part of multi-classing where the two classes have anything to do with each other is in determining spell slots, as quoted above. Use this total to determine your spell slots by consulting the Multiclass Spellcaster table. You determine your available spell slots by adding together all your levels in the bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes, half your levels (rounded down) in the paladin and ranger classes, and a third of your fighter or rogue levels (rounded down) if you have the Eldritch Knight or the Arcane Trickster feature.

Mage Hand plus two cantrips from the Wizard list. The character can prepare (Conjurer Level)+(INT Mod) spells from the Wizard list as a Conjurer. Note that because you consider the classes individually when determining spells known, the character could not select 2nd-level spells at level 2, even though the character may have the slots (as described below).

If your projector has Bluetooth, then pairing it with a modern mobile phone or tablet is easy. The wireless option may be more appealing if you don’t want added cables all over the shop. USB to HDMI cables range from US$10 to US$50 in price, depending on brand. Regular USB to HDMI cables are simpler but may compromise quality because they lack the adapter to negotiate the USB to HDMI conversion. A setup like that will cost anywhere from US$30 to US$80. In most cases, it’s good to use a USB to HDMI adapter plus an HDMI cable. If your phone or tablet have a mini HDMI out, even better, though you’ll need a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Once connected, simply change the source on your projector to the relevant HDMI port and you’ll see your phone’s screen displayed. These are available for every version of USB, so check your phone and pick the right one. Since all good projectors have HDMI in, you can get a USB to HDMI cable or adapter. ![]() Much like every class of device nowadays, you may opt to approach the phone-to-projector connection process in one of two ways, broadly speaking. Whatever the content may be, a projector link will make it stand out. This applies to travel photos, family videos, and even personal art you’ve created on your phone while commuting. One big, glorious screen everyone can enjoy at once beats passing a tiny mobile device around. That’s especially handy when you have people over who want to see your content. Pics and videos you’re used to seeing on a 6 to 8 inch screen look a whole lot nicer on a 200 inch mega-screen, let us tell you that. Projectors offer a great way to view content in a big way that’s much more suited to sharing with others. But hooking those up with a projector may seem like a daunting task. After all, we all have photos, videos, and playlists of favorite songs readily accessible on our phones and other mobile devices. While you most likely got a projector initially to enjoy movies, TV, and gaming on a big format screen, you’ll likely want to showcase content from your iOS or Android devices on that large display, as well.

Operation is straightforward: Press the booster, mod, delay, FX or reverb button located above each knob to select the desired effect type, then turn the respective knob to adjust the depth. The MkII amps all have 60-plus Boss effects onboard, and you can use five types of effects simultaneously. The effects section has two concentric controls – booster/mod and FX/delay – and a dedicated reverb knob. ![]() Note that “secret” access to Ch3 and Ch4 is available by connecting the optional Boss GA-FC ($124) or GA-FC EX ($149) foot controllers. ![]() Pressing the panel button toggles between banks A and B. The Ch1 and Ch2 buttons capture all the top panel knob/button settings (except master) when you press and hold either one for about a second. You can store and recall a total of four presets on this amp: two in bank A and two in bank B. I also liked using the acoustic model with a Takamine TSP 138C, which sounded great with variation activated to give it more punch-through presence onstage.Īfter landing on a few sounds I wanted to use, the tone setting buttons (labeled Ch1 and Ch2) facilitated saving them as presets. Using a Strat, Tele and a PRS SE McCarty 594, the Katana MkII sounded good for live playing using mainly the clean, crunch and brown models, almost always with reverb on the spring setting and delay on the tape setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, thanks to having to stay at home, I can finally check this off my list! I made a note back then – almost a decade ago – to give his a recipe a try. ![]() Through research and trial and error, he’s pretty much perfected the Pandan Chiffon Cake, so I knew I wasn’t going to find a better recipe. I started following the blog and soon found Dr. ![]() But then I stumbled upon this blog when I was looking for a Roti Canai recipe. Previously when I made this cake, I used a basic chiffon cake recipe and added in pandan essence. It’s also used to add subtle flavour and aroma to rice dishes, such as nasi lemak and meat such as Pandan Chicken. It has a complex taste which lends itself well to desserts, where another common ingredient, coconut milk, is often infused with it. Pandan can be described as sweet, floral and grassy. Pandan Chiffon Cake is basically a chiffon cake flavoured with the juice of pandan leaves (also known as screwpine leaves), which are often used in preparing food in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. It had been about 10 years since I last made it, which is hard to believe, especially since it’s one of my favourite cakes! Of course, I get my fill of it every year when I’m in Malaysia, but it’s been a really long time since I’ve enjoyed this cake homemadeow good is this cake? Well, a few years ago, CNN named Pandan Chiffon Cake the national cake of Malaysia and Singapore, and one of the world’s 17 best cakes! I finally made Pandan Chiffon Cake again recently. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Tesla flippers flooded the market with gently used Teslas, the buyers vanished, and we’re left with plummeting prices for used Teslas. The LA Times featured once successful Tesla flippers in this fascinating story. Flippers would order a brand-new Tesla from the factory (often paying cash), with the intention of selling for a premium to an impatient buyer weeks if not days after taking delivery. Wait times were between two and six months for factory-ordered Tesla EVs. Tesla flippers made good money for a while. Tesla Flippers Out of LuckĪnd then there were the flippers. Nearly 40 percent have been listed for sale for over 90 days. It was a time of record gas prices, and electric mobility was very appealing.įast forward to the last days of 2022, and 69 percent of the 5,800 used Teslas on the market nationwide have been listed for greater than 38 days, the overall industry average. The Model 3 and Model X were #5 and #6 on the list, right behind the Toyota Prius hybrid and the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E. More noteworthy is how long used Teslas are remaining on the market.Īs recently as July 2022, analysts at iSeeCars found that the Tesla Model Y was the fastest-selling used car in the United States. In fact, roughly one third of ALL used Tesla listings are 2022 models. A third of these nationwide listings have less than 5,000 miles on the odometer. Tesla Inventory and Days to Sell RisingĪs we approach the new year, there are 1,085 used 2022 model year Teslas for sale on CarEdge Car Search. “You can’t sell your current Tesla for more money than you paid for it, which was true for a lot of the past two years,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst at car sales website. Who would’ve guessed it? Tesla cars couldn’t remain appreciating assets forever. In November, used Teslas sat on dealer lots for 50 days before selling on average, compared with 38 days for all used cars. ![]() Used Teslas are sitting on dealer lots for much longer these days. ![]() It’s all about perspective here: the overall used car market dropped 4% at the retail level during the same period, and wholesale prices dropped much more, as you can see here. In July, the average price of a used Tesla was $67,297, but six months later the average price had fallen to $55,754. Here’s where things stand today, and where prices are headed in the near future.ħ Negotiate Used Tesla Prices in 2023 Used Tesla Prices PlummetĪccording to Edmunds data shared with Reuters, used Tesla prices were down 17% in December for the July peak. In 2023, used electric car prices are in for a rude awakening. Thousands of Tesla buyers flipped their new cars for a profit on the used car market just weeks to months after taking delivery. Long the best-selling EVs by raw numbers and market share ( more on that here), Tesla became the darling of auto market speculation in 2022. ![]() The picture is different for used Tesla prices heading into 2023. Generally, used electric car prices have been reluctant to drop, at least compared to the steep declines seen in other vehicle classes such as luxury SUVs, crossovers and compact cars. Used car prices have fallen over 25% in 2022, and have a lot further to fall. With these changes, in 2023, expect used Tesla prices to be at least 20% lower than they were in 2022. Lower new Tesla prices will immediately hit used Tesla prices hard. This means that not only are all Teslas cheaper now, but most Model 3 and Model Y spec options are now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S., at least until March when more detailed eligibility requirements are to be released by the government. The top-selling Long Range Model Y dropped from $65,990 to $52,990. January 2023 Update: Tesla slashed prices for new models by up to 20% overnight. ![]() |
