As it is written, so let it be shown.

You misunderstand, I'm not talking about centripetal force as a "source" of anything. I'm just saying that's what is keeping the sun's gravity from pulling us in the sun. Well, the originating gas cloud had some net rotation. This wasn't so much due to anything but rather just that it didn't...

If you are asking what got the Earth moving around the sun to begin with, it was a function of random paths of the initial collapsing dust cloud. Those particles with degenerate orbits tended to hit objects going with the flow and either being absorbed into the mass of a larger object or being...

yup.

There is no equation I'm aware of either.

U, or Uracil, occuris in RNA. T, or thymine, replaces it in DNA.

I would assume the question is asking how much energy was lost by the first puck. That's a simple matter of taking the energy before and after via E=1/2mv2 The difference would be the energy lost by the first puck.

And here I was assuming you were talking about things like beta decay and positron emmission. Major cause of that is naturally occurring 40K by the way.

food borne botulism is the result of direct effects of the produced toxin rather than internal production by the bacteria) Heating contminated food can destroy the toxin without necessarily killing the bacterial spores. This generally isn't a problem in adults but in infants it can result in the...

What I've heard is that water sitting in an open water bottle will naturally dechlorinate within 24 hours.

As a propellant, there won't really be a safe way to get high enough concentrations. It would be possible to distill it from a dilute solution, but due to it's instability, you would need to do so at high pressure. I would rather doubt you would have the resources to carry out such a...
