is there a chance it might catch on fire? And to what degree of heat would the heater have to be (let's say it's a real powerful industrial size heater). I find it ridiculous that a jacket hung over night in front of a heater can catch on firebut the safety inspector at work threatened to write me up for violating safety hazard. I know it's not the safest thing to do, but realistically, could this happen?
the range (horizontal distance) travelled by a projectile is given by R u?.sin2α / g, where R is the range, meters u initial velocity, m/s α angle of launch upwards with the horizontal g acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s? plugging in the values, we get 2 [6.8? / 9.8]*sin2α or sin2α 2*9.8 /6.8? 0.4239 2α arcsin(0.4239) 25° or α 12.5° ANS: angle of launch 12.5° upwards with the horizontal
Yes - on the part of their insurance company. They tend to be a little more 'reality based' and don't believe in magical sky daddies that protects his buildings. Considering the number of churches that get destroyed by 'acts of god' I would say they are probably doing the right thing.
