    B Casimir effect, energy conservation

    I was reading some articles about Casimir effect. It turns out that some virtual particles are created and suddenly disappears amd that these particles can exert a pressure on the plates. It seems that this creation breaks energy conservation law, but it cannot be.I would like to know which...

    Kinetic Energy of Rotating Cone: Correct?

    I would like to fine the kinetic energy of a cone that rotates around its symmetry axis. I consider that the cone is formes by infinite cylinders with different radius and infinitesimal height. I end up with this result: K=1/4w^2R^2hM where w is the angular velocity R the radius h the height and...

    Direction of the induced current

    If there is a rotating wire in a constant magnetic field what is the direction of the induced current ? The problem is the direction of the area vector which is arbitrary, if it is parallel to the magnetic field the current will flow in a direction, if it is anti-parallel it will flow in the...

    KE+PE when a rocket's speed is less than escape velocity?

    I guess C because at infinity we will have PE=0 and KE> 0 or equal to zero. As the rocket has not the tendency to move to infinity we conclude that PE+KE <0

    Exploring the Lorentz Force: What Goes Wrong?

    We know that Lorentz Force is a centripetal force so: $$qVBsenx=m\frac{v^2}{r}$$ and the value of V is constant (but not the direction) But if we write: $$qvBsenx=m\frac{dV}{dt}$$ we obtain that v is exponential. What is wrong ?

    Electricity: plastic on plastic

    We know that objects like plastic become negative (with rubbing) but what will happen if we rub plastic and plastic, one of them will become positive which one ?

    B Photon: momentum without mass?

    But momentum is equal to p=mv so if m=0→p=0

    B Photon: momentum without mass?

    The mass of a photon is zero but why does it have a momentum and an energy (E=mc^2=hv) ?

    Temperature increase with stirring?

    I know Joule's experiment but you need to consider that the spoon has a lower temperature than coofee

    Temperature increase with stirring?

    Let's say that I have a spoon and a cup of coofee, I stir it with the spoon does its temperature decrease or increase ? (There is friction force so a bit of energy should turn into heat but it's strange).

    What about the gravitational force acts by the Earth ?

    Connetion between centrifugal force and weight force

    Can someone explain me what is the connetion between centrifugal force and weight force thanks ? In which situation should I use the centrifugal force (that is a fake force) ?
