Question:

what height will the stream of water strike the building?

A fireman 50.0 m away from a burning building directs a stream of water from a ground-level fire hose at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal. If the speed of the stream as it leaves the hose is 40.0 m/s, at what height will the stream of water strike the building?in m

Answer:

I agree with you regarding the use of blanket statements as I feel it's likely the reason for much of the fighting on here (a few continually make unbased claims about the other groups as a whole, stirring the pot) but then I reached the final sentence of your commentary and saw you make a blanket statement yourself, Atheism is too negative. Needless to say, I was disappointed
What you want is to look for your local SCCA or NASA organization HPDE events. HPDE(High Performance Driving Event) is basically a instructional course for beginners to advance students to learn how to drive on a road course type of track. Since it is an instructional course, you'll be going at 75% of your capability only for the most part. This also allows them to set more strict rules for safety since you'll pretty much be allowed to run a stock car. As long as everything is working on the car and you have a helmet, you can run. There will prob be passing restrictions also since, again, you're not running a race prepped car. Usually, they'll allow passing only on straightaways and only with the front car's point by(driver in front points outwards, signalling that you can pass). Course, the students are divided into different groups typically so that advanced students aren't running with beginners so you needn't worry too much about people slowing you down or you slowing them.
One of the worst things a person can do in a storm is stand next to a tree. The tree has a high probability of being hit by lightning and the person will most likely be hit by stray lightning. This is analogous to the lightning rod and dish antenna situation. In many cases the receiver electronics is very sensitive to overload and would be easily damaged by lightning. I would not put the lightning rod near the dish and I would not route the large gauge cable from the lightning rod to the earth anywhere near the dish.
