    Undergrad Unanswered phenomenon in earth orbit

    Sorry, I mixed this with pioneer anomaly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyby_anomaly This is in Earth orbit, and effect is same (though internal mechanism might be different) - unexplained increase of energy.

    Undergrad Unanswered phenomenon in earth orbit

    I actually meant, pioneer anomaly is an anomaly detected first while that spacecraft was in Earth orbit. it got more kinetic energy, than it was supposed to. This anomaly is yet unexplained. I asked for similar anomaly and observational problems. thanx

    Undergrad Unanswered phenomenon in earth orbit

    What are the phenomenon so far encountered by scientists, that happens in Earth orbit? I mean observational anomaly One of such phenomenon is pioneer anomaly. what are the others? Anyone please add to the list, or refer me to some reading resource

    Graduate Can a Particle at Rest Spontaneously Disintegrate into Multiple Particles?

    Generally they say, they particles do not disintegrate. Like say a bomb. They chemical energy makes it to go off. This, in view of classical mech, is: The chemical energy converts to kinetic energy. There's no chem. energy : - no go off

    Undergrad Did Mass Have Different Units During the Scientific Revolution?

    It's actually a good idea. Does it mean, mass is generated after a force gives you an acceleration? It will also mean, massless particles can accelerate whenever they 'wish' without force -- this is violation to 1st law... so it's a nice question to probe. Explanation: m = F/a...

    High School Why Do Many Physical Phenomena Exhibit Wave Behavior?

    Nice question. You mean the physical significance of this phenomenon? I am interested from top to bottom, really. I wish to set up an experiment, maybe you will help me please!

    High School Why Do Many Physical Phenomena Exhibit Wave Behavior?

    CaptainQuassar, this reminds me of Fourier stuff (sorry if I misspelt) .. But this can be one with only certain limits of accuracy. Well you can increase accuracy by iterating the process over and over, that's a bit tiresome ... wondering for some smarter idea.

    Undergrad Superposition of 2 Similar Frequencies from Separate Sources

    Again there will be beats. An everyday illustration: Go somewhere where you can watch musicians manually tuning instruments, with respect to another instrument. The standard or reference instrument is one source, and the one being tuned is another, separated by some space. Tuning is done, the...
