Shape

Question: What kind of shape do you have to be in for the military to not accept you? I'm enlisting in the Navy in May. And I remember talking to my recruiter about six or seven months ago and he asked me what kind of shape I'm in... I'm in good, athletic shape. But I was wondering, what kind of shape you have to be in for the military to not let you enlist? Because I have some military friends who aren't in impressive shape at all.

Answer: There are certain height and weight requirements to be in any given branch of the service, they are different to each respective service. Each service also requires that you be able to pass an adjusted PT test before enlisting.....this requirement is strictly on paper though. Recruiters can simply write off that you passed the PT requirement. Once your in the military you need to maintain a more rigid height and weight requirement and be able to pass the service's respective PT test. However, again, this is on paper. Some people write their own PT cards, some units don't flag people for failing PT tests or failing to meet the height and weight standards. There are various reasons for this, some good, some bad. Nowadays with two wars going on it is unlikely one will be discharged for not meeting physical requirements once in. They should be flagged. If they aren't, they have an in with the CO/senior enlisted or on some kind of profile.

Question: How do you shape a piece of Titanium into the shape you want? My dad has a piece of titanium, and he wants to use it to make a knife. Well, it'd be considered a dagger, since he wants it sharp on both sides. Anyway, every time he pulls it out of the forge and towards the anvil to shape it, it's back to being the shiny silver instead of hot enough to shape easily. I know they make titanium tubing and things like that for housing. I'm just wondering how you make it stay hot enough long enough to shape?

Answer: Titanium has a very high melting point, 1660oC, this would indicate that the forge needs o be hotter. Use oxygen in a stream into the fire. Seamless and welded titanium tubing is available and is hot poured.or hot formed.

Question: How in shape should I be before I contact a border patrol recruiter? I've been slightly out-of-shape, but that's because i haven't been exercising properly. I'm back to running and should be in shape quickly. I'm not exactly Michael Jordan right now, but I am slightly stocky. I don't have a history of being fat. Should I run a couple more weeks until I'm in basketball player shape, or just get it over with now?

Answer: Historically the Border Patrol Academy is well known for the physical training they put new agents through. At the Academy in Artesia Wells, New Mexico you will run and run and run some more, so if I were you I would concentrate on running and cardiovascular endurance, with some weight training mixed in. Due to the fact that the U.S. Border Patrol is hiring new agents at a record setting pace, they have considerably reduced the length of the Academy, which used to run nearly six months. But since they are desperate for new recruits, the total length of the program is now about two months. The rumor was that too many recruits were unable to pass the rigorous physical training requirements, so the Border Patrol eased back on their Academy length and are now enabling higher numbers of rookie agents to successfully complete the training. Regardless of the reduced time, you will run and run I can promise you. While the training time has been cut by more than half, the Border Patrol still takes the physical conditioning of their agents very seriously, especially for those assigned to the southern border. Concentrate on your running and cardio and as I also mentioned earlier, throw in some weight training and you should be okay.

Question: What shape makes the best foundation to hold up a house? My science teacher asked whether a square, a circle, or a triangle is the best shape to hold up a building/house. What is the shape? May I have a source along with your answer so I can site it for my science teacher?

Answer: As a flat slab foundation, a rebar-stabilized, post-tensioned circle would be the strongest, as it is being compressed from all angles, making it stronger.

Question: What is the molecular shape of propane and how do triple bonds affect molecular shape? First, what is the molecular shape of propane (C3H8) and how do triple bonds and lone pairs affect the shape of a molecule?

Answer: Propane is bent (V-shaped). A triple bond forces a linear shape upon the part of the molecule that it's in.

Question: What causes the mushroom shape of a nuclear detonation? I'm curious about the physics behind what really causes the shape of a mushroom cloud after a nuclear detonation. Is it possible to have a different shape? If so, what other shapes might it resemble? If no, what forces are acting upon the cloud to make it only take a single form? I assume there are lots of environmental factors such as wind, air pressure, temperature and such. What I want to really know, is how do all the factors work together to create such a beautiful, but deadly symbol of nuclear technology.

Answer: It really has to do with the bomb itself the mushroom shape is caused because as the extremely hot nuclear material cools it rises up the hot column which is very dense and falling, and then once it is free at the top the density decreases and it spreads out forming the top of the mushroom, the environmental factors are non-existent anyway because the bomb destroys any wind patterns, humidity ( evaporates ), and it causes the temperate to rise to huge levels. Although different bombs leave different types of " mushrooms" e.g. hydrogen bombs cores are so dense they tend to say low to the ground and form huge tops that are very fat and wide, all conventional nuclear devices leave that shape.

Question: What is the biggest and hardest shape to form? A sphere is naturally the easiest shape. You can see this as planets form spherical shapes. It is the smallest possible shape they can form. But what is the biggest or hardest shape that can be formed? What is the opposite of a sphere?

Answer: Following your logic. If a sphere (a polyhedron with infinite sides) is the easiest, then the most difficult would be a pyramid (a polyhedron with the minimum number of sides). Or perhaps a thin plane, an infinite polyhedron with 2 sides???

Question: How do celebs change there eyebrows shape without people knowing? I mean one day they have one shape, then the next they have a completely different shape. A shape where previously the hair didn't even grow. I want to change my shape but i don't have any days where i can let the hair grow.

Answer: Makeup artists. They probably shave off the hair completely and draw on new ones. I don't even know if they sell fake eyebrows, but that could be a possibility.

Question: What is chemical base of mystery of shape of organs in living beings? All insects,birds,animals eat similar foods and similar blood cells ,in general, in their systems.But,when these grow in full body,all have different shapes as species shapes.What is the mystery code or natural technology for this formation process in living beings?In non-living matter for shaping a mould is used ,but in living beings ,there is automatic shape without any mould formation first and then filling. DNA is smallest unit of living system like atom in materials.But,skelton is foundation of shape and sperum is said to have secret code of shape and size/species.Is there any memory BIO-CODE in sperum like software?

Answer: The DNA and RNA is the "software" that determines the shape of a living organism. This is easier to see in bacteria than in mammals or large species. Many bacteria are classified by shape. Some are spheres (cocci) while others are rods (bacilli). Some even have whip-like tails for locomotion (flagella). Bacteria with similar shapes have similar structures in their DNA and RNA. Their shape is determined from the inside out. This model is far more complicated in larger multi-celled organisms. As cells differentiate, the DNA and RNA determine the structure of the cells and how the cells interact with one another. This is what determines the final shape of the organism.

Question: What is the shape of an unrolled cardboard toilet paper roll? For a math assignment I need to know the shape of an unrolled cardboard toilet paper roll. I don't have any empty rolls, so if someone does, I would appreciate if they could unroll it (along the curved line), and tell me what shape it is. Thanks!

Answer: a parallelogram

Question: How do you copy and paste a shape into the same layer on Photoshop? This sounds like a stupid question but I really don't understand it. Whenever I try to select a shape and copy it, it highlights the background instead of the shape. And I can never find the other copies of the shape so I am probably pasting it into the wrong place. I dont think I am pasting it underneath the shape because when I move it there is nothing there.

Answer: Photoshop "Shapes" are vector graphics. That means they are infinitely scalable without resolution loss. Each layer is essentially a mathematical representation of the shape. That's why you're having trouble putting them both on one layer. To get them both into one layer, you must rasterize them prior to combining them. Like so: •Make sure the shapes have the attributes (size, color etc) you want for the finished piece. •Highlight the target shape in the layers pallete •Layer>Rasterize>Shape •Do this for each shape •Now the shapes are pixels instead of vectors and can be managed in ways that you expect.

Question: What's the difference between shape and morphology? how would you uniquely measure the shape of an object? For example, how would you measure the shape of square and a square with a pieace of corner missing, so that you can distinguish any shape from another?

Answer: Fractals are a good way to quantitatively to distinguish differences in shapes. Fractals are often used to build computer-generated graphics for background scenes in videos. In two dimensions, a fractal is the ratio of the perimeter to the area, and in three dimensions, it is the ratio of the surface area to the volume. These simple ratios can be used to mathematically describe or even build nearly all complex shapes.

Question: How do I get back into shape quickly and stop the constant soreness and muscle tightness? I'm a sophmore in high school now and I've been running track for two years. Freshman year I played football, and wrestled after, when wrestling season was over i was still in shape and I joined track. I was a star on the team as a freshman, i ran an 800 in about 2:14 a mile around 5:00 and 2 miles around 11:10. Since I was so successful my coach convinced me to quit football and run cross country. Cross Country season the next year was also successful, I ran about a 17 minute 5K and was feeling great. Then I wrestled on the varsity wrestling team, near the end of the season I got sick, missed practise for a couple of weeks and got out of shape. When track season came I was out of shape and could hardly keep up in practise, and got sore everyday. When one thing would go away, another thing would get sore. My thighs, my calves, my abs, ect. I've been doing terrible so far in the races and my body is in pain. How do i get the magic back?

Answer: One of the major causes of muscle soreness is when you suddenly start exercising a muscle that you haven't used in a long time. I am guessing that you didn't use your thighs, calves, abs, etc. in wrestling as much as you do now in track. Doing general stretching exercises before you run should help you avoid muscle soreness. Also, gradually increasing the intensity of your workout will help. The idea is that you want your muscles to ease into your running so that your soreness will be less likely to occur. There is conflicting evidence regarding post-workout exercises, but it may help. In the meanwhile, since your pain seems to be in localized regions, you can ice your muscles to reduce the inflammations. No more than 15 minutes at a time for about 3-4 times a day. Pain medication may be taken if the pain becomes too severe to bear, but they do nothing to make it go away any faster. As your muscles get used to running again, the muscle soreness and tightness will pass sooner than you think. I am sure that you will be back to your "magical" self. Good luck.

Question: What shape should the inside of a guitar be to get maximum resonance? If you were to make a makeshift guitar what shape would you make the inside cavity in order to get a nice, loud, full sound (would you use a rectangular box, a bowl, a can) or is there something better?

Answer: Use something with a large inner surface area. That way the sound is amplified and sounds very nice. You'll notice that some guitars have wooden blocks placed along the inside. This is to increase the inner surface area. Depends upon you what you want to use. But remember larger inner surface area better sound. Hope i was helpful

Question: What shape of sunglasses fit a big nose with ball shape ending? What shape of sunglasses fit a big nose with ball shape ending? I mean it's very straight, but it's ending is very big, like a ball shape on the end.

Answer: Defo ray-bans they look good on everyone. :)

Question: What shape is the eyeball when both near and farsightedness exist? When nearsightedness (myopia) exists in an individual, the eyeball is said to be elongated so that the image appears in front of the retina, causing blur in distant images. When farsightedness (hypermetropia) exists in an individual, the eyeball is said to be flattened so that the image appears behind of the retina, so that near images appear blurry. Some people have both myopia and hypermetropia simultaneously--what shape do their eyeballs take?

Answer: It is not uncommon for people to have one eyeball elongated (myopia) meaning near-sighted (can only see things near) and one eyeball flattened (hyperopia or hypermetropia, same thing) or far sighted. An astigmatism is blurry vision caused by an irregularly shaped cornea. Having myopia in one eye and hyperopia in the other is correctable with regular glasses, etc. An astigmatism is also correctable with eye glasses. Lasik surgery can now correct for all (I had it done and ... it's great!)
