    Photons as virtual particles in High energy

    Hi, So i can accept that photons are virtual particles for the electromagnetic force but i have a question. Considering two stationary point charges. There are photon-like particles exchanged between them to produce the force? If so then placing a double slit between them should create some...

    Creating a Physics Problem with Coulomb's Law and Centripetal Force

    just an idea but if you have two particles with negligible mass, in Newtonian physics if they experienced a force they would have infinite acceleration >> they have to be infinitely far away if you add some more conditions like speed of light etc ... well mass will eventually become...

    Thanks :) That was what i was looking for

    Fortran What is the purpose of #ifndef statements in Fortran code?

    kinda a shot in the dark, but maybe ifndef = if not defined? like python

    How can I calculate the distance a car will travel after driving off a cliff?

    assuming no loss for friction horizontal velocity = 50km/h time = 10 secs distance = vel*time

    How Do Charges Transfer and Affect Coulombic Forces?

    Yeah F=(1/(4∏ε))*(q1*q2/r2) so when q1 is halved, F is halved say A had and original charge of q0 A and C now have a charge of 1/2 q0 C touches B the total charge on both is q0 + 1/2 q0 as equal surface area => evenly distributed again, then sub into your formula

    How Do Charges Transfer and Affect Coulombic Forces?

    Yup :) The assumption for a 'perfect conductor' is that it distributes uniformly Read this if ur interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    Quantum Model of an Atom with more than one electron

    Hi, I just completed an assignment modelling an atom with one electron. The model was very simple, assuming that only coulombs law applied, then solving for standing wave solutions to the Schrodinger equation to find ionization energies. I was astounded how accurate it was. i thought it would...
