    Hard drive vs flash drive for long term backup?

    I have probably less than 16GB of important data on my laptop I'd like to backup. Since a 16GB flash drive is cheaper than an external hard drive I figured I'd just get a flash drive. Is there any reason why I should go with a hard drive instead? I know hard drives are faster but I won't be...

    What's the difference between sculpture and ceramics?

    I have the option of signing up for sculpture or ceramics, but there is no description given. I was wondering what I could generally expect to see in these kinds of classes. Does sculpture mean you are trying to model something else and ceramics are more free form? I'm clueless so please...

    What is the minimum speed a trail bike must be moving to clear the ditch?

    Range equation: R = (v^2/g)*sin(2*theta) so v = (R*g/sin(2*theta))^0.5 v = ((2.5+1.4)*9.8/sin(30 degrees))^0.5 v = 8.74 m/s hope that helps!

    Can someone please help me with this physics question?

    Fnet = k*q1*q2/ r^2 = 4*10^-5 newtons so if we increase r by 0.03 meters then all we are really doing is doubling the distance from r to 2r: Fnet will decrease to k*q1*q2/ (2r)^2 or by a 1/4 since 1/(2*r)^2 = (1/4)*(1/r^2) so the electrical force will be one quarter of what it was...

    Physics - Force problem....?

    Force normal = FgravityOnFirstBox - FgravityHangingBox So, for 30 N box on other side: Fnormal = 77 - 30 = 47.0 N for 60 N box... Fnormal = 77 - 60 = 17.0 N for 90 N box... Fnormal = 77 - 90 = -13 N, so the box is lifted off the ground up to the pulley because the second box weighs more.
