A bullet that hits and passes through a wooden block - Lots of friction here and momentum is still conserved. As far as momentum is concerned, it is conserved even when a moving car brakes to rest. It may seem that momentum is not conserved in this case but it actually still is!

Yes, I understand all that but what I'm asking is still different. I am trying to figure in what probability calculation would the difference in (A) and (B)'s data (as in my previous post) be significant and if so why.

The Higgs *boson* couples with a particle having a mass. It does not give other particles mass or create mass. Indeed when the Higgs mechanism was first used it explained why photons have no mass and the W and Z particles do. The Higgs *field* is responsible for creating mass and is a...

Yes and no. N is directly proportional to length if every turn is coiled in the same way - i.e. at the same angle to the previous turn. A spring could be 'tightly' wound (small angle) or loosely wound (big angle) and the formula will not distinguish this but works if the way in which it is...

Hmm. I never trust Wikepedia in principle but I will have a look at that article as its source might well be accurate. Thanks

Great found it! Thank you. For those interested, it is Deflection = \frac{8FD3N}{Gd4} Don't know what happened there - here it is again 8FD3N/Gd4 Deflection is independent of length! (although N is related to length in a way)

Your multiverse theory is - several or alternative ways the universe might exist. The one I'm referring to is akin to the 'island universe' theories. So we're talking about 2 different things.:smile:

Hmm not sure now. It could well be Double special relativity. It is also related to Rainbow gravity - something like that

Oh yes forgot to mention that. The spring is hung vertically from a fixed point and a point load is applied to the end - as in a weight with a hook hung on the spring so the parameters are Tension, wire diameter, spring diamter, the 2 moduli of elasticity, spring length and possibly...

Sorry, I haven't phrased my question very clearly. Bear with me while I try again. Player A has 2 dice. Player B has 1 dice. Dice are 6 sided,unbiased and identical. Both players record their throws in sets of 2 dice i.e. player B has to roll 2 dice one after another and records the results...

Every force in nature has exchange particles - gluons for Strong nuclear, W+, W- and Z0 for Weak Nuclear, photons for Electromagnetic and therefore Gravity must have an exchange particle. Gravitons is the postulated exchange particle for gravity. As a result of investigating certain Weak...

Thanks. Will do. EDIT: - yes seen it - last 2 equations. t-> - infinity! will study it in more detail when I have the time

"Tired light" - Interesting! Is it it - i.e. speed of light decreases with time and was faster closer to the time of the Big Bang Therefore the further away the galaxy the faster its speed of light at that time and the photons we receive (from that galaxy) pertain to a speed of light much...

This is more of a philosophical question surely?:smile: The term everywhere in Physics could only mean - All of Space. (Capital S for space) Since whatever the size or moment in time, the universe is All of Space. Therefore at its creation and the nano/microseconds after the Big Bang...

Thanks but I'm not sure you've met all the boundary conditions necessary in this special case. The 2 dice dice are rolled simultaneously and not sequentially. i.e. your calculation seems identical to the one where a 1 and 6 roll and a 6 and 1 are distinguishable but suppose all dice...
