    Solving an equation, I have an incorrect solution

    I have been attempting to solve the equation, I have arrived at two roots however only one of them seems to be correct. If possible could you spot a possible mistake I have made. ## \sqrt{3x + 10} =2 + \sqrt{x+4}## ##3x + 10=4+4\sqrt{x+4}+x+4## ##0.5x+0.5=\sqrt{x+4}##...

    Conservation of momentum of two boats

    If you were able to simply step from boat to boat with no inbetween stage. I have had a rethink would it be that boat a stays at the same velocity because no net force is applied to it and although it will loose momentum the mass will decrease also due to the man stepping across leaving the...

    Classical Classical mechanics book recommendations please

    I was wondering if anyone could suggest any books that would describe and explain basic and some more advanced mechanics with a reasonable amount of mathematical content? Cheers

    Conservation of momentum of two boats

    Say you had two boats (a and b) moving past each other without colliding and a man moved from boat a to boat b. Is it correct that boat b would decelerate and boat a would accelerate due to the conservation of momentum

    Pressure and temperature where volume is constant

    So would this mean that say in this case water pump would give the water molecules a higher average kinetic energy than the molecules already present in the container. Then once these two 'groups' of particles are able to collide and the molecules with more energy will transfer energy to ther...

    Pressure and temperature where volume is constant

    If I where to take a volume of water that is at atmospheric pressure and then add more water molecules to it without allowing the volume to increase I understand that the pressure will increase but does this also mean the temperature will increase? My guess is that is does but I don't...
