Example of Tedious Division 80 ÷ 12 a = 80 ÷ 12 = 6, remainder 8 b = 8 ÷ 12 = 8/12 or 2/3, remainder zero 80 ÷ 12 = a + b 80 ÷ 12 = 6 + 2/3 or 6,666

Dear FactChecker, Thank you for the encouragement. Colleague Gavran rightly found the application of the irreverent term "numerical crunching" strange. Certainly, "numerical decomposition" is more appropriate to be discussed in a math class. Like you, I also suffered a lot with math. The...

Unfortunately, no. It's a joke, derived from an insight. Some people use this trick (including me) to solve mental calculations without using paper. Note that the process is fun, as it employs some mathematical properties and operations used in high school.

Multiplication and Division by Numerical Trituration Image: AI Google I - Multiplication by Numerical Trituration First Example 157 x 3 = a = 100 x 3 = 300 b = 50 x 3 = 150 c = 7 x 3 = 21 157 x 3 = a + b + c 157 x 3 = 300 + 150 + 21 = 471 Second Example 45 x 23 = a = 40 x 20 = 800...

One of the problems I encountered while implementing this experiment was the inevitable accumulation of triboelectric charges in the expanded Styrofoam. Simply adding a little salinity to the fresh water wasn't enough; interventions were necessary during the experiment to reposition the wheel in...

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the...

No problem, mate. I liked my colleagues' answers, as they were instructive and funny :wink: !

Yes, I watched the video. Since I found it interesting, I posted it here on PF to expand my knowledge.

This Physics Problem is Unsolvable This is the question presented in Sabine Hossenfelder's video. What would be the consequences of this statement?

Diameter length is a straight line; the circumference perimeter length is a curved line.

A relationship of quantities can be represented by a rational number or not. However, only when the relationship is made with a single quantity, the number makes complete sense. For example: a) Length A / Length B; b) Volume A / Volume B; c) etc. Note that PI is obtained from a relationship...

We know that ##\pi## originates from the L/D relationship of a circumference, where "L" represents the perimeter of a circumference and "D" represents its diameter. The size of a circumference does not matter, as both the perimeter and the diameter of any circumferecence always maintain the same...

Thanks, Dave! To see the entire universe as a single frame of reference, the observer would need to have superpowers, for example being everywhere at once.

Thank you all. Regarding the adoption of a specific frame of reference, what would happen to the proposed system if I adopted the entire universe as a frame of reference?

Thanks, Ibix! I think I found a particular situation in which it is possible to determine the simultaneity of two events, that is: beacons B and C flashing at the same time.
