Physics help: As a civil engineer for your city, you have been assigned to evaluate the purchase of spring-loaded guard rails?
As a civil engineer for your city, you have been assigned to evaluate the purchase of spring-loaded guard rails to prevent cars from leaving the road. In response to a request for proposals*, one company states their guard rails are perfect for the job. Each section of their guard rails consists of two springs, each having a force constant 5.34020 × 105 N/m with a maximimum distance of compression of 0.614 m. (According to the manufacturer, beyond this compression the spring loses most of its ability to absorb an impact elastically.) The largest vehicle the guardrails are expected to stop are trucks of mass 5350.000 kg. What is the maximum speed at which these guard rails alone can be expected to bring such vehicles to a halt within the stated maximum compression distance? (Assume the vehicles can strike the guard rail head on and that the springs are perfectly elastic.) _____m/s Thank you!
In the event of invasion of a US city, would the military "conscript" the local police to help fight?
The local police are ALREADY lawful combatants in the example you give.No need for conscription.Also, no permission from DOD required for police to engage in combat operations against invading force.Police are LC under the following rules-1. in uniform ( detectives in suits have to put on cop uniforms)2. in their own country.These rules are why Baghdad police were not detained as war criminals in 2003 for shooting at US forces.also, INTERNAL boundaries dont matter. for example- NYPD cops are lawful combatants in Philly, Dallas, Chicago, etc. too.So governor of Texas could send all his state troopers to NYC to support NYPD in their operations against ENEMY.

City Carrier Assistant position hiring process USPS?
Right now, a score of 78 would probably get you in if you pass all of the driving testing (on top of the others you cited), In my city, for every three they hire, two are gone within the first month - they're either let go or quit when they see how hard the job really is. Forget about having an outside life if you are a CCA (or a career carrier). You are expected to be available six days a week for up to ten hours a day, more if emergencies require it. Here, the day starts at 8 AM but you can be directed to start before that, and the 'normal' delivery day ends at 4:30, but with the staffing shortages, even with the CCAs we have, the 'normal' end time most days is 6PM but has often gone past that. The program you are looking at will not be 'worked with' by USPS. You will have to choose the job of the possible career. I would go with the career. The 360 day thing, I think it's actually 364, could be wrong, but the deal is you are on the employment rolls for that number of days and then you are off for one day (maybe even one week, again, not sure), so that there is an official 'break' in service. You are then back on the rolls for another (mostly) year....over and over....there is supposed to be a pathway to a career position but the CCA thing is too new for, even the CCAs I've talked to, to know how it works. I'm near the end of my career. I had wanted to go the full distance (42 years) but there is no way I can physically do it, the job has changed so drastically in the last three years. I do not recommend it as a career to anyone starting today. The average body will be physically broken down in ten years if you are a foot carrier unless they ease up on the length of the segments you are forced to carry.
During a military invasion, what role would local police forces (from normal officers to SWAT and the like) have?
Without knowing any department's particular published policy, I would like to weigh in.On the one hand, in a completely old fashioned style total-war concept, I could imaging that the losing side or the side losing some ground (in this case of your question the USA) would retreat orderly and formally, ceding some turf to the invader. Police, Fire, EMS, teachers, mayors, city councilmen, etc etc would be left behind (ignoring any that may try to "refugee" out. The invader would find a relatively intact local construct (ignoring any odd battle scars on the city hall building or that library over there). The invader would then employ the left-behind intact construct as functionaries. Of course the invader would be in control, but even invaders need some leftover locals to drive the trash trucks, run the board of water supply, open the library, and issue speeding tickets. And therein lies your police force of today. They will be the police force of tomorrow's occupied town.Of course some individuals would be purged by the invader, obviously, and some few individuals would decide to refugee out or become Resistance. But in an official sense, the entirety of the force would become police under the occupiers.In the case of a more radical enemy though (Communists, Jihadists, etc) those kinds of people would simply kill the majority of everyone in authority positions - teachers, water operators, trashmen, firemen, policemen, mayors, etc. In the case of that kind of invasion the local police force wuld resist the invaders. or melt away and disintegrate, or evac "refugee" style. Probably all three.
Are drug tests during the hiring process an invasion of privacy?
[Irony] Who should be forced to undergo this sort of tests on a regular basis? Drug workers obviously, nurses (RGN’s & RMN’s) and doctors of course, social workers, police, hostel staff, housing support workers, local authority staff (it’s our taxes paying their wages after all we need to make sure they are doing their jobs properly with clears heads), school teachers, baby sitters, sports coaches, people who adopt, bus drivers, train drivers, pilots of course and stewardesses, all drivers, cyclists, anyone caught crossing the road not on a crossing -- in fact, why don’t we insist every single person in gets a drug test at least twice a year; drugs are illegal after all. Anyone testing positive can be forced into treatment, dismissed from their job and if they don’t stop using illegal drugs sent to prison.Makes perfect sense to me, fuck human rights, I don’t care if they are doing a great job they are breaking the law and there is no place for them in our society. [/Irony]Sorry, my non-ironic answer is yes, they are an invasion of privacy, based on a moral judgment that taking drugs is wrong and impacts on a persons ability to do their job. MOST people use drugs without it impacting on their work. To label a massive section of society (8% smoke cannabis) unfit for work because they use a substance that Richard Nixon thinks is worse than other more dangerous drugs (tobacco & alcohol) is a moral judgment and breaches basic human rights.Unless you insist people do not smoke tobacco, drink alcohol, coffee, use sugar, etc. you are pandering to a moral set of judgments based on racist and unscientific laws. (I have generalized to cannabis but this applies to all illegal drugs.) What people do in their own time is absolutely no business of their employers unless it impacts on their work. So drug screening is pointless unless it tests inebriation, not use.
