Reading a story in Meduza I came across this little bit:

Ukrainian media outlets and bloggers, meanwhile, have turned Mala Tokmachka into a symbol of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ resilience. By their count, the battle has lasted more than 1,500 days, ostensibly longer than any successful defense in world history.

Then I wondered just where this place is.

Wikipedia:

The Yakovlev Yak-18 (NATO reporting name Max) is a tandem two-seat military primary trainer aircraft manufactured in the Soviet Union. Originally powered by one 119 kW (160 hp) Shvetsov M-11FR-1 radial piston engine, it entered service in 1946. It was also produced in China as the Nanchang CJ-5.

Wikipedia leaves off the U suffix, and some tack on an A suffix. In any case, it is not to be confused with the Yak-18T, which is not a trainer but a utility airplane.

Velocity & Distance

Demos Graph

I'm trying to work out some elementary math problems, but for some unknown reason I haven't been able to actually work on them, so I thought I would just do a simple math problem, just to get moving.

This problem is: How does velocity change with distance?

Start with old distance from time formula.

Set acceleration to 5 so we get a nice curve.

Old velocity from time formula

Solve the first formula for time

Substitute our new value for time into our velocity formula

Assign distance to x and that gives us the graph we have above.

If we view this graph as a car accelerating at a rate of a low 1/6 G, then by the time it has gone 80 feet (or six car lengths) it will be going pert near 30 MPH.

RADAR

Toyota Grill

Saw this car yesterday and noticed three little round things in the grill. You might need to embiggenate the image in order to see them. I'm wondering what they are and then I realize they are likely sensors for looking at the road ahead. Might be cameras, might be RADAR, might be mystical quantum doodads.
