    News US state department won't report on sharp rise in global terror

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/04/26/AR2005042601623.html Why is it thought that aggression will lead to less terror? Particularly pre-emptive aggression? This is from a few months ago, and I don't know if it has been discussed already. I searched for relevant...

    Finding a temperature rise in a resistor. HELP

    I'm building an electric furnace using a coiled resistance heating element. The wire is a high temp alloy made for kilns and furnaces (Kanthal A-1 if you care.) Anyway... I can't find a way to calculate how hot the wire will get based on the current load and amount of wire. If the wire is too...

    Gravitational Potential Energy: Does it Really Rise?

    EP = mgh as an object moves further and further away, the value of g decreases and approaches 0.. if this is true, then wouldn't potential energy approach 0 as well? According to my book, this is not true, the gravitational potential energy constantly rises the further 'up' you go If...

    Will a Ball Take Longer To Rise or Fall?

    if I threw a ball straight up (including air friction), would it take longer for the ball to drop back to its original position from its max height or longer for the ball to rise up to its max height? here's what I'm thinking, on the way up, there is air friction and mg going agaist the...

    Sun Rise Laser Cannon Aiming - Unraveling the Mystery

    ok... So, we see the sun everyday, right? So let's say you are standing on one point of the Earth looking at the sun rise... At where must you point a laser cannon in order to hit the sun dead centre? and why? :confused:

    Exploring Temperature & Pressure: Why Does Water Rise in Test Tube?

    Why is it that when you place a test tube over a burning candle in a peatree dish with water, that the candle goes out and then the water from the dish rises into the test tube. Mainly what are the reasons that the water rises. I am kind of going with the "temperature and pressure are related"...

    Ball Rise Trajectory: How Fast Was the Ball Moving?

    A tennis player standing 12.6 m from the net hits the ball at 3 degrees above the hoizontal. To clear the net, the ball must rise at lease 0.33m. If the ball just clears the net at the apex of its trajectory, how fast was the ball moving when it left the racket? would it just be...

    Rotating Wedge & Rise of Mass: Speed Calculation

    the sloping side is frictionless, it is spun at constant speed by rotating the wedge. show that when a mass rises up the wedge a distance L, the speed of the mass is v=sqr(gLsin0) I got Fx=m(v^2/r) = mgsin0 v^2=g*sin0*r can I say r=L ? I got stuck, could you give me some hints thank you

    Why does temperature rise with pressure?

    I am not a physics person. I am a lawyer. So bear with me: I do not understand why the temperature of a gas or a liquid increases with pressure. I understand the Ideal Gas Law of PV=nRT, and I understand it mathematically, but I do not understand conceptually what is happening at the...

    Does a Hotter Air Molecule Really Rise?

    This is a thought experiment question. I have three air molecules. Two have the same speed. The third is faster than the other two. When they slam against each other, they keep their previous speed after the rebounding acceleration. I put them in a container. I hold them from wanting to...

    Why Does Hot Air Rise? Exploring the Phenomenon of Rising Hot Air

    Why does hot air rise? What I'm really getting at is why should the speed of kinetic motion of the individual atoms of heated air rise compared to it's slow moving neighbor, is it merely because it bounces around more often and so all air competes for dominance upward such that the fastest...
