So if I wanted a particular change in temperature I would multiply that difference by the mass and specific heat of the material and that would give me the power need to cause that change in temperature?

Basically a vaporizer. Where a coil heats a liquid to a specific temperature for a specific amount of time. I just can't think of a good way to control the temperature with a thermoresistor so I figured there must be a quantifiable relationship between current, resistance, and specific heat.

Ok I like the idea of measuring resistance and forming a relationship to temperature. The procedure I have in mind involves heating a wire to between 100 and 500C. I don't think an IR thermometer would be an accurate way to monitor the temperature and I feel like a thermoresistor also wouldn't...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I have a question about the relationship between current through a conductor and the heat dissipated by the material. Given the current, resistance, and specific heat of a material as well as the specific spatial dimensions is there a way to...

The frame dependant factor may be what really complicates this then. Well, I began thinking about trans-plutonic elements which we know as artificial. These elements are too heavy to have been created by super novae, cosmic ray spallation, or s/r processes. As far as we know, they only exist in...

Thanks for the reply and move. I just skimmed the wiki page for geodesics in GR. Looks like this is where my adventure ends lol. I'm a second year chemistry student and was curious about a scenario involving heavy particles and compact objects. I wanted to calculate kinetic energy of particles...

So is there an equation in GR for finding orbital velocity?

So is there a distance or mass at which classical mechanics is too inaccurate and GR is used?

What are some of the challenges associated with calculating orbital parameters of objects around a black hole (I.e. Orbital velocity, period, semi major axis, kinetic energy). At what point can classical physics no longer provide accurate results?

I haven't taken any physics outside of high school. I do know that the acceleration of the object is it's force over its mass. And the force acting on it is "Gmm/r^2". I guess I just need to know how to find its acceleration as "r" gets lower? But how fast "r" changes depends on the acceleration...

Warning: I'm a freshman chemistry student. My math skills are elementary at best. Image a ball in deep space. A baseball sounds nice. Assume this ball had no initial velocity but suddenly finds itself caught in the sphere of influence of a massive body. A black hole sounds fun. The ball begins...
