That's actually amazingly interesting - the notion that energy is lost proportional to a square but energy gain is proportional to a cube. Could you provide me with information to read up? - I am deeply interested but don't know where to begin researching this.
So this would mean if we could...
Why would the ITER nuclear fusion reactor be sustainable? What exactly is in their plan which could lead to more energy being produced than is consumed - and what makes it different from all the other (failed) previous attempts at sustainable nuclear fusion?
Now these I am unaware of, for it is a future lab. I just know this will be the subject. I'm more interested in learning how I could do this with just volume, as with mass if I'm not mistaken I would just measure the mass of the cup and gravel and assure it doesn't exceed the weight of the cup...
Hello, thank you. Archimedes principle states that the weight of fluid displaced is equal to the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid. I am unsure of how to apply it to solve this problem.
Homework Statement
I am given a water tank, a small plastic cup, and some gravel. How could I use Archimede's principle to determine how much gravel to put in the plastic cup such that it sinks to a certain point (namely the rim), but then floats, so that no water is let inside the cup...
Hello,
I'm here for the essential purpose of integrating myself into a deeper understanding of physics, as well as having a warm intellectual environment that will open my mind to alternative solutions on problems I am stuck with.
