For a particle moving in a circle,can $a_t\neq 0$ and $a_r= 0$?
Is centripetal acceleration mandatory for circular motion?
I've seen them maneuver. They definitely can go backwards. How fast can they go in reverse? Is warp speed possible, or is reverse limited to impulse power? If it is limited to impulse power, can they travel backwards under impulse power as fast as they travel forwards under impulse power?

Does anyone know the proper way to do this?  public void DeleteProject (string projectName) {     string ccConfigPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConfigPath"];      XmlDocument configDoc = new XmlDocument();      configDoc.Load(ccConfigPath);      XmlNodeList projectNodes = configDoc.GetElementsByTagName("project");      for (int i = 0; i &lt; projectNodes.Count; i++)     {         if (projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"] != null)         {             if (projectName == projectNodes[i].Attributes["name"].InnerText)             {                                                                 configDoc.RemoveChild(projectNodes[i]);                 configDoc.Save(ccConfigPath);             }         }     } }   UPDATE  Fixed. I did two things:  XmlNode project = configDoc.SelectSingleNode("//project[@name='" + projectName + "']");   Replaced the For loop with an XPath query, which wasn't for fixing it, just because it was a better approach.  The actual fix was:  project.ParentNode.RemoveChild(project);   Thanks Pat and Chuck for this suggestion. What does '>/dev/null 2>&1' mean in this article of crontab basics? How to decide if an effect is magical for Magic Resistance? Some creatures have Magic Resistance:     The [...] has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.   We know from  that this works against Turn Undead, but does it work against Stunning Strike, Death Strike, Fey Presence, etc? How do we decide? I want to find the conjugacy classes of this group: $$G=\{(a_1,a_2,a_3):a_i=\pm e_j\}\subset GL_3(\mathbb C)$$ I know that $S_3$ is one of the subgroups of this group, so I can check which elements of $S_3$ continues to be conjugate in our group, I know that in $Z(G)$ there is two elements $I,-I$. I know that I have to check the diagonal matrices on which ones are conjugate, but I don't know how to finish and find the others conjugacy class of this group, and I don't Know how to find the number of the elements of the conjugacy class. I'll be thankful for help Draw a vertical line over the entries of a column in an array I'd like to draw vertical/horizontal lines over the entries of a column/row in an array. I find the method to draw horizontal lines at . But when I used the same way to draw the vertical lines. It didn't look well.

Thank you. My party bypassed a combat encounter. Should they still get XP? Some thug bandits set up a road block on the main road to extract a toll from passersby. It was twilight when my party encountered them. They used the Rogue to scout ahead, and they ultimately decided to bypass them by taking the long way around with some stealth to avoid the bandits.  Is there RAW justification that I should award XP as if they actually fought and killed the bandits? (5 x 1/8 CR) Validity of naively computing the de Broglie wavelength of a macroscopic object Many introductory quantum mechanics textbooks include simple exercises on computing the de Broglie wavelength of macroscopic objects, often contrasting the results with that of a proton, etc.  For instance, this example, taken from a textbook:     Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for      (a) a proton of kinetic energy 70 MeV      (b) a 100 g bullet moving at 900 m/s   The pedagogical motivation behind these questions is obvious: when the de Broglie wavelength is small compared to the size of an object, the wave behaviour of the object is undetectable.  But what is the validity of the actual approach of applying the formula naively? Of course, a 100g bullet is not a fundamental object of 100g but a lattice of some $10^{23}$ atoms bound by the electromagnetic force. But is the naive answer close to the actual one (i.e. within an order of magnitude or two)? How does one even calculate the de Broglie wavelength for a many body system accurately? Where to place my local website starting with the 2.4.7 version of apache2? I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04, then I installed lamp-server and placed my webpages in /var/www directory, but when I opened localhost in the browser there was nothing. I think that happened because Zend updated Apache.  Whatever the reason may be, I want to know where to keep my php files so that I can access them from my browser. Let $A =  \mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-2}]= \{a+b\sqrt{-2} \ : a, b \in \mathbb{Z}\}$. Show that the only natural number $x$ for which $x+\sqrt{-2}$ is a cube in $A$ is $x=5$.   So I have to show that there exists $c,d \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $(x+\sqrt{-2})^3= c + d \sqrt{-2}$. From the last equation, I obtain $x(x^2-6) = c \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $3x^2-2= b \in \mathbb{Z}$, and here I blocked. Could I conclude from both equations? If not, is there exists another way to proceed (hint)?  Thanks! Calling Java from MATLAB? Honey changing into unusable, hardened clump Is there an online community to find travel partners (for mountains, sightseeing etc.)? Is there an online community to find travel partners for mountain trekking or sightseeing, or anything else?  I don't want to travel to foreign mountains alone, but I don't know where to search for company. There's a great community for accommodation (I mean CouchSurfing) so I think there should be something in "reverse" direction (searching not the place to stay but the people to go with).

When we try to drop these tables the mysql goes to the defunct mode and hangs in that state for a long time. Is there a solution to drop these tables without mysql hanging.

How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog? I use the term "100% crop" to mean a portion of a picture that has been cropped but not resized, but I have also seen some confusion around that term.   Is there an accepted definition for "100% crop?" What is its opposite called?   Here's what I think it means:   If I'm right, what is the proper name for "something else?" If I'm wrong, please include illustrations.  Either way, what evidence supports the definitions? I'm trying to hide the app icon from the title bar in GNOME in Ubuntu 18.04.
