I've always been terribly confused as to the logic behind why the speed of light is a constant. Say for a moment that you have a photon that's traveling along a radio wave at the speed of light. Then you have another photon traveling along a gamma wave at the speed of light. Now, assuming...

Well, I know that you can't dissolve copper in water, but would cutting copper up into tiny pieces and placing them in water create a copper solution. And if that won't do, how can i create a copper solution.

Hi, I'm trying to get balsa wood to burn green, and I know that copper burns green. If i cut up pieces of copper and dissolve them in water, then let the balsa wood soak up the water, I imagine it would burn green. However, I don't know if I can dissolve copper in water. I would appreciate...

I have an extremely limitted knowledge of physics. Could you please explain more about the time...I don't understand. Thank you for explaining that I mixed systems of measurement, I knever knew that gram and feet were not in the same one. However I do not see why you divide the time by 2 if...

I'm trying to calculate the amount of force I will need to move a 9.6g object at an average speed of 450 feet/ second. So when I do this I use Force=Mass*Acceleration. Since acceleration is change in speed/change in time (both of which are initially 0) I come out with 450*9.6. This yeilds...
