    Relativity Question Regarding Muons in movement

    Well I think your method is fine but your half life is off. You forgot to square the 0.99!

    What is the Group Velocity of Infrared Radiation in a Dispersive Medium?

    Take at look at the link you posted in the other expressions sections. It all there.

    Can Ductile Iron Withstand the Torsional Stresses of Front Axle Shafts in Jeeps?

    Ductile iron is very soft. There is a very good reason for using carbon steel it lacks stiffness and has begins plastic deformation a lower strain rates than steel.

    What is the Group Velocity of Infrared Radiation in a Dispersive Medium?

    w is angular frequency. In the other expression are formula needed to calculate w. The convert dn/d(lambda) into dw/dn.

    When Will the Andromeda and Milky Way Galaxies Merge and Could it Support Life?

    Also a glaxay merger will cause a burst of star formation. This is a prerequist for life.

    Universe of indistinguishable quanta?

    Because electrons, quarks, neutrino's, W and Z bosons along with gluons also appear fundamental in the sense they have no detectable internal structure.

    How fast will the pressure decrease from a leaking gas tank?

    PV = nRT is the equation that is relevant hear. At 293K and 0.4 Mpa you have 59113 moles of gas. At 293K and 0.35 Mpa you have 51724 moles of gas. The problem here is the pressure inside the cyclinder is changing. So I will make an approximation that the average pressure is 0.375 MPa so...

    Understanding the Ellipse Equation: Cartesian or Polar Coordinates?

    Cartesian I think as you get x and y-axis coordinates.

    One clock on Earth, one on Mars

    t^{'} = t_{0}/sqrt(1-(v^{2}/c^{2})) Is what you need to caluate time dilation using SR. However becuase Mars rotates your velocity is constantly changing therefore the ammoun t of time dilation you experience changes. I am not sure if the roatation effects cancel out as I have not done the...

    Oxidative Additions: Don't Get How Metal Oxidizes?

    Electronegivity difference is a tool for telling you hove ionic or covelent a bond is. It also can be used to decide where the partial charge in a molecule resides if the bonds are polar. I would use it for more than that. Carbon reduces metals below itself in the reactivity series. I donlt...

    Can sodium's reactivity be controlled by isolating it in a vacuum?

    Chemical reaction do not trigger or hinder alpha and beta emmision. So your hypothesis does not have any physical basis.

    One clock on Earth, one on Mars

    The weaker gravitational potential on the surface of Mars due to its increased distance from the sun and the planets lower mass will cause the clok to run slower. Mars also orbits at a lower velocity relative to Earth and roatates at a slower rate. So for all these reason the clock on Mars will...

    Dark Energy: Does It Affect All Space?

    I think that what post #26 and mine #27 are getting at but the expansion is too small to measure. Also matter can move in the new space so the volume the Earth occupies may not change for that reason at all.

    Oxidative Additions: Don't Get How Metal Oxidizes?

    When oxygen reacts with something like a metal the oxygen atom gains two electrons and the metal loses two (e.g. Cu). Copper is oxidised as it loses electrons. Reducesing is the opposite. The metal gaining electron would be reduction. Hense Carbon is know as a reducing agent for many metal...

    Can sodium's reactivity be controlled by isolating it in a vacuum?

    Chemical reactions do not affect the nucleus. Isolating a sodium atom in a vacuum will not cause quarks in the nucleus to change. Quarks make up protons and nuetrons so "rearrange themsleves" statement makes no sense. Also electrons do not react with the oxygen gas. A sodium reacts when one...
