honestly, more than likely very little. it is not known where exactly it was found, or you could not prove it. individual pieces are only valuable to an anthropologist or to the local archaeologist, but again, where it was found is just as important as the item itself\na 10 inch stone (i presume) projectile point is unlikely. it may not be broken at all, it could be a tool

The Brass Serpent. It was made to heal the snake bites of the seraph snakes in Number 21:8-9.\n\nIt was destroyed in 2 Kings 18:4.

It is a cone with the pointy part cut off. The opening at the top is larger than the base. :o)

What kind of stone?\n.

We can use trigonometry to determine the vertical and horizontal components of the stone's velocity.  This will let us determine how far it goes.\n\nImagine a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 14 units and one angle of 26 degrees.  The side opposite the 26 degree angle will be as long as the stone's vertical velocity.  The side adjacent to the 26 degree angle will be as long as the stone's horizontal velocity.\n\nSince:\n\nsinA = opposite / hypotenuse... \nsin26 = vertical velocity / 14...\nvertical velocity = 6.14m/s\n\ncosA = adjacent / hypotenuse;\ncos26 = horizontal velocity / 14...\nhorizontal velocity = 12.56m/s\n\nIf the object had an initial vertical velocity of 6.14m/s, we know how long it stayed in the air because:\nacceleration = change in velocity / time\nWhich is the same as saying:\ntime = change in velocity / acceleration\nThis applies in any situation where the acceleration is constant.\nSo, if we want to know how long it took for the stone to reach 0m/s vertical velocity (the point at which it stops rising and starts falling), the change in velocity will be 6.14m/s.  If we just divide this number by acceleration due to Earth's gravity (9.81m/s^2), we get 0.63 seconds.  The stone traveled upward for 0.63 seconds.  This means that it must have also traveled downward for 0.63 seconds before hitting the ground, for a total flight time of 1.26 seconds.\n\nNow, we have a simple velocity equation.  Since we know that:\ndistance = velocity * time \nSince we're only worried about how far the stone traveled horizontally, we use the stone's horizontal velocity: 12.56m/s.  Time will be the total time that the stone was moving: 1.26sec.\n\nSo...\ndistance = 12.56 * 1.26 = 15.83 meters.\n\nHope that helped!

Let the stone be shot from point O=[0 0], then the stone flight can be described as following:\ny(t)=Vy*t-g*t^2/2 & x(t)=Vx*t, where Vx=V*cos(a), Vy=V*sin(a), V=12m/s, g=10m/s^2, t is current time, x(t) & y(t) are current coordinates of the stone. \nThe track of the stone is parabola y(x)=Vy*x/Vx-0.5*g*(x/Vx)^2\nOr y(x)=x*tg(a)-0.5*g*x^2/(V*cos(a))^2. Assume that point [6,4] belongs to parabola.\nSo we plug in x=6 & y=4. Thus 4=6*tga-0.5*10*6*6/(12*cosa)^2. Now 1/(cosa)^2=1+(tga)^2, thus 4=6*tga-(5/4)*(1+(tga)^2) or 5*tga^2-24*tga+21=0.\ntga=[12-/+sqrt(144-105)]/5=(12-/+6.245)/5, tga1=1.151 , tga2=3.649, a1=49 degrees, a2=74.67 degrees. The value a2 does not sat us, as this is the point [6,4] OK, but being past vertex!\nSo tga=1.151 is our solution. So we plug it into our equation again;\n4=x*1.151-0.5*10*x^2*(1+1.151^2)/144; x^2-14.26x+49.55=0; x1=6 was expected, x2=8.26, and BM=x2-x1=2.3m

whats made by man, never used by him,never he sells it and the person that is using it doesn't know he is.?\nIt's coffin

It is a square and compass. The sqaure teaches and reminds masons to sqaure thier actions in all thier dealing with mankind. The compass teachs to circumscribe you desires and keep your passions within due bonds. The G represnts geometrry and God. There is nothing sexual as the other answer states. \n\n    The basic piont of freemasonary is to teach people to act morally, honest and to give a great deal to charity. They use the tools of operative masons to represate other ideas. There are meanings behind many other tools and symbols.\n I am a mason

No record of who actually discovered it. It is several thousands of years old. It can be naturally extracted from Willow bark.

well, do you have access to a stone saw?  Look for crystalline structure inside of the object.  Also determine it's specific gravity, and you can look it up on the jpl web site.  First though is it metal, magnetic? Or a rock.

The two focal sculptural figures derive from an episode described by Teresa of Avila in her autobiography, The Life of St. Teresa of Jesus (1515-1582), a mystical cloistered Discalced Carmelite reformer and nun. \n\nThe chapter describes divine visions, including one where she saw an angel standing aside her body:\n\nI saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron's point there seemed to be a little fire. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails; when he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. The pain was so great, that it made me moan; and yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying." Chapter XXIX; Part 17, Teresa's Autobiography \n\nThis is a mystical vision not sex.\n\nMaybe the sculptor could have done a better job.\n\nWith love in Christ.

This is one of the more interesting, bizarre questions I have ever read here.\n\nFrankly, I don't know. Is there something in any scripture that mentions this?\n\nChances are that it's an abomination to Wiccans, but what about other faiths?\n\nWhat if the stone will be used to build a church?\n\nIt's probably lack of sleep, but I'm honestly intrigued.

it is just like understanding a hyperbola. if you throw a stone in air it will feeling a force until it reaches the highest altitiude then it falls down as a projectile . the path traced by it may be in vector quantities
