Is it possible to have king kong jumping around and surviving his various crash landings? Why not? Please explain this in terms of atomic physics using natural units (planck units). An answer might discuss the force of the impact of King Kong (use approximate equations) and the chemical bonds in his bones. Ignore factors of 2, pi, and such pesty constants. What is the biggest sized creatures (made of atoms) we could imagine surviving on the surface of a neutron star? What about at the surface of a star? About the latter - nothing much could actially survive at the surface of our star, since the surface temperature is comparable to atomic binding energies. Is this parametrically guaranteed, or is it a co-incidence between parameters? |

There is no answer at this time. |

Why is that, when posting homework problems, students don't at least "dirty it up", to make it at least appear plausibly to be their own thoughts? |

Maybe the people reading these questions should not jump to conclusions about the intention of the question poster... qed100, you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA who I am or why I am posting this question. Period. |

My friend and I just finished our final problem set for our class and we figured that we wanted to test the researches on google answers. Our semester has been over for days anyway. |

Ah. In other words, it sounded just like a college class assignment precisely because it *is* one. So why chastise me or anyone for figuring it out that way? And although in my part of the world the Spring semester has been in session for about two weeks, I'll take your word for it that you are between semesters. But if that's so, then why do you need an answer ASAP? That still is indicative of a class assignment which is due very soon. |

And why, why it would have to be "in Planck's units" ? The physics itself is independent of units, didn't you learn that? Only an educators whould dream that up. You guys are no educators. Before you try to "to test the researches on google answers", please be aware that you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how much we know about you. http://users.chartertn.net/tonytemplin/FBI_eyes/ So watch it :-) Hedgie |

Alright, I can explain all of this at length if anybody really cares... Yes, it was for an assignment, and a very open ended assignment at that. All the questions had many paths that could be taken to find possible answers. I responded quite sharply to your (qed100's) original comment because I felt like I was put on the defensive about my ethics, and I strongly feel that I am a very ethical person. I apologize if my response was too harsh. My friend and I wanted to see what kind of response 20 bucks could buy - just for the hell of it. We do lots of crazy stuff along these lines, and I really don't feel like I have to prove that to anyone. Anyway, I asked for plank units because those units were the most commonly used in our class. I assume most physicsts out there "show their work," so I figured I would give a little guidance. ... hedige: "an educators?" ??? |

Just understand that many people really do post their homework questions on Google Answers, trying to squeak out of doing it themselves, and that Google has a policy against providing answers to obvious homework. |

True, I totally understand that, though I really don't understand the policy. I don't think it should be Google's choice what I can and cannot ask - perhaps some personal responsibility is in order? I mean there must be so many different circumstance under which a homework question could be ethically asked and answered online. Maybe Google should make all their answers searchable directly through special educator accounts so that teachers can check and see if their students are cheating. Maybe this is already possible - I haven't check it out. If so, it seems like a reasonable solution. |

"I don't think it should be Google's choice what I can and cannot ask" Well, as Lt. Saavik inquired to Adm. Kirk, "May I ask you a personal question?" His response was "You may *ask*." :) |
