    Ok, umm these may sound like dumb questions, and I am sorry but here goes. (I think i have a lot of misconceptions) 1. If I push myself against a wall and exert a constant force, the wall will exert a reaction force against me and therefore net force = 0 and no motion. But if I throw myself...

    Proving e^x is equals its own derivative?

    Hi, I need this for part of a math project I'm working on. So as most of us know, e^x, when differentiated, is equal to e^x, hence it is its own derivative. Now, I could prove this quite easily with the Chain Rule, but my teacher said that this is predicated on too many assumptions (not sure...

    A question about the simplest of things: Based on the physics of sound, how can you hear someone through a closed door? I'm quite confused because someone once told me its was because the sound passes through the door; since its causing the air molecules to vibrate, when this vibration hits...
