Does anyone hold a Quicksilver World Elite card and if so, what are the eligibility requirements? I have heard that this tier for the Quicksilver card does exist. My next target is the World Elite Quicksilver MC. I was contacted a month after I submitted my letters by a very nice case manager in the Executive Office and from what I was told, you must have a limit above 5k to be eligible for this upgrade, and even if you are eligible, you may not be approved.obviously. I am very surprised however that no one at the CSR level knows anything about this option. It took a good month and a half for them to approve this. Next step I emailed the CEO and also faxed a letter to the Executive Office explaining to them that I was very interested in this upgrade. Six months later I had seen several postings about a Quicksilver World MC and so I contacted a rep at Capital One (several in fact) and no one knew anything about this option. 6 months later, I asked for an upgrade to the Quicksilver card with no annual fee and was also given another credit limit increase that took me past a 5k credit limit. 5 months later, I was given a $2000.00 credit limit increase automatically and I also upgraded my card to the Quicksilver rewards card. I started with an entry level Capital One Platinum Mastercard with an annual fee of $39.00 in Sept of 2014 with a starting limit of $500.00. ![]()

![]() ![]() One with the Six-Pack (three two-barrel carburetors) with 390 hp (395 ps), and the one that this Charger has. The 440 was also available in two different configurations. This particular model, being the R/T, featured two engine options: the infamous 426 Hemi and the colossal 440 ci (7.2-liter) Magnum V8 - which is the one this particular Charger has. You had many engine options, from a small slant-six to massive V8s. Now, it's time we get under that long hood of the Charger. Adding a little class to the mix is a wooden dashboard and a wood-rimmed steering wheel, which fronts a 150 mph (240 kph) speedometer and an 8,000 rpm tachometer alongside a few other gauges. Moving on to the interior, it is mostly original and finished in black but accented by gray inserts on the seats and a whole lot of chrome. Behind said wheels, the R/T brought a few more goodies, like better suspension and more powerful brakes, but this one has Wilwood stopping power all around. This Charger is finished in the popping Hemi Orange with black tail stripes.Ĭomplementing the old-school muscle look, it has a set of American Racing billet Magnum style wheels measuring 15 inches with BF Goodrich rubbers around them that have white lettering, tying the retro look together. The main differences are the grille and the taillights, cementing the shape we still have today. On the outside, the 1970 Charger, the last year of the second generation, followed the same principle as the redesign from 1968 but did a little better. Now, to see what makes it so good, let's look at this one from 1970 and analyze it more profoundly. The latest iteration borrowed a few design cues from the previous one but cranked them up to 11 and placed them in a brand new Coke-bottle styling.Īlso that year, a brand new package was introduced called the R/T, which took the Charger to the next level, making it the best possible version of what a 3,700 lbs (1,700 kg) sports car could be. Richard Sias, the head of design, visioned an entirely new look for the Charger. In 1968, Dodge's design studio cooked up something pretty special. Even with racing wins behind its back, Dodge sold only 37,000 of them in the first year meanwhile, Ford sold over a million Mustangs – so some more work was due for Dodge. They changed the roof, the quarter panels, the decklid, and the grill so it looked properly mean, and with many engine options, including the 426 Hemi, you would expect it to sell like hotcakes. So, Dodge's design team got to work on the brand new car based on the Coronet, and in 1966, the Dodge Charger was finally born. Their sister brand, Plymouth, launched the Barracuda to fuel the fire, putting more pressure on Mopar muscle to do something. They needed an entire car, not just a badge slapped on a limited run of vehicles. ![]() But they still needed to solve their Mustang problem. The Charger name was first used as a package on the Dodge Dart GT Charger. Of course, they only started to sell it after a while, but it got people talking, and finally, Dodge started producing a cheap sporty car of their own. ![]() On the side of that wannabe rollbar was a badge written in cursive that said: Charger. Powering it was the 426 ci (7.0-liter) Hemi V8 (until it was reaped out and replaced by a stock 383 engine because of Hemi shortages). It had no roof, a chopped windshield, and a roll bar thingy. The new design was based on the 1964 Dodge Polara and looked terrific. ![]() So, they needed a brand-new vehicle to compete with the Mustang, and they needed it fast.Īfter chaos ensued, a few designers at Dodge came up with a concept car. No one had a car in their lineups, even remotely similar to Ford's new golden child. When Dodge and everyone at Chrysler saw Ford's fun and reliable offering, they all freaked out. The Charger was born in part thanks to the Mustang. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Adidas Terrex Swift R2 Mid GTX is a very light, synthetic boot that’s great as a crossover for urban hiking and day hiking.

Weighing about a pound per boot, the X Ultra 3 Mid GTX is lightweight for a boot with ankle support, has Gore-Tex waterproofing, and a burly outsole with Salomon’s classic Contragrip technology. The Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX is a hybrid shoe that perfectly balances the weight and agility of a trail runner with the comfort and ruggedness of a hiking boot. See the Women’s La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX See the Men’s La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX The waterproofing and leather make it quite warm, though, so not recommended in summer and humid climates. The durability is decent for a fairly lightweight boot, and the protection is superb. The soles are Vibram Nano rubber, which provides good traction, and La Sportiva added its Impact Brake System, a piece of hard rubber, to the heel, which helps to go down steep hills.

If time is being calculated then α is presumed given. If initial angular velocity is being calculated, then ω is presumed given. If θ is being calculated, then ω is assumed given, so it must be calculated first if you want to specify α. In the example calculation, the time, initial angular velocity, and angular displacement were considered given (primary) unless they were being calculated (e.g., in calculating α). In the example calculation, you may have to do intermediate calculations, e.g., to establish the final angular velocity, in order to set up the problem you wish to solve, just as if you were working the problem with calculator and paper. The rotation equations represent a complete set of equations for constant angular acceleration rotations, but in certain types of problems, intermediate results must be calculated before proceeding to the final calculation. In the example calculation in the section Rotation Equations above, some assumptions were made about the calculation order. Associated with each active text is a Javascript calculation routine. It's like a game to see if you can set up a consistent set of parameters. You can probably do all this calculation more quickly with your calculator, but you might find it amusing to click around and see the relationships between the rotational quantities. *These quantities are assumed to be given unless they are specifically clicked on for calculation. Radians = radians/s = s angular velocity ω = initial angular velocity* + ang. angular displacement*θ = average angular velocity x time* t It is assumed that the angle is zero at t=0 and that the motion is being examined at time t.

Where the Greek letter delta indicates the change in the quantity following it.Ī bar above any quantity indicates the average value of that quantity. The averages of velocity and acceleration are defined by the relationships: Average angular velocity: Angular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement and angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. Rotation is described in terms of angular displacement, time, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. Angular velocity has the units rad/s.Īngular velocity is the rate of change of angular displacement and can be described by the relationshipĪnd if v is constant, the angle can be calculated from The tangential velocity of any point is proportional to its distance from the axis of rotation. Vector angular velocityįor an object rotating about an axis, every point on the object has the same angular velocity. HyperPhysics***** Mechanics ***** RotationĪngular velocity can be considered to be a vector quantity, with direction along the axis of rotation in the right-hand rule sense. The standard angle of a directed quantity is taken to be counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Where the acceleration here is the tangential acceleration. In addition to any tangential acceleration, there is always the centripetal acceleration:įor a circular path it follows that the angular velocity is Starting with the formula for the moment of inertia of a rod rotated around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length (IM2/3) ( I M 2 / 3 ). is the angular velocity of the mass about the pivot point.Rotational Quantities Basic Rotational Quantities and acceleration He has a master's degree in Physics and is currently pursuing his doctorate degree.

Knockback is only delivered by the first shot on a target after shooting, there is a delay of 1.5 seconds where the affected parties cannot be knocked back by a second shot. This can be used to perform a third jump in midair, opening up alternate routes for the Scout to take. If the user fires the weapon while airborne, the recoil propels them opposite of the direction they aim.
