If I lifted a car 20ft off the ground revd it to 100mph then dropped it how far would it go? Take out the spinning wheel and skidmarks. Just the drop, it lands at 100mph, and set off?

why does a thick, viscous material settle better when I knock the container against a wet rag than when I hit the counter against a harder object?

I have heard this from multiple people even when I worked at a liquor store. That when you are on an upper or something that gives you speed that you cannot get drunk. Is this true? And how?

Is it likely that we’re underestimating the extent of metamorphosis in the fossil record because we’re mistaking different stages of the same organism for different species?

If gravitons are particles, can it be said that they are like radiation around a black hole, and if so, why doesn't the black hole lose energy/mass from it?
