Ok, how if I rephrase the question like this: "What will effect the marbles when dropped from a cup from a level table indoors(?)". It isn't hard to figure out. There isn't any wind indoors, nor can the marbles land one billion meters from the cup either. What can possibly effect the spread...

Ask yourself which (if any) of the variables I wrote in my earlier post vanishes if you have the setup like you have described.

A couple of different variables arises right away such as wind, the height from which they are dropped, how level the ground is, what type of ground it is, how much deviation from a complete horizontal drop you have, how many marbles you use, what material they are made off, if the cup is at...

The first thing you need to do is to find an appropriate axis and put down all the torque effecting that point both clockwise and counterclockwise. Remember that the scaffold exerts its from the center of its mass.

That particular episode used a lot of variables that may or may not be purely scientific - assumptions were made that serial snipers do not attack far from home, where he or she 'feels comfortable'. I just realized that I am now describing the episode where the initial sniper lead to other...

I agree that physicists does not necessarily have to know the proofs for mathematical theorems to function in that particular profession. However, it will not harm people to review it if they are interested in it or simply wishes to. Whether that experience will actually lead to becoming a...

Well, he probably used some of the reasoning for motion in two and three dimensions and made approximations with the help of other variables such as wind and so on. Think about it. What will go the longest distance - water traveling against the wind or with no wind at all (assuming a...

They may actually be sued by Google.

Happy New Years :smile: Hope your new year will bring happiness, success and all that.

Sweden will have its first successful vote of no confidence ever on conservative leader and Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, forcing him and his cabinet to resign because of controversy about removal of social security and for selling out government monopolies. US vs. Iran conflict will...

You probably need to read some documentations instead of only a forum. How far have you come? I've found Devshed to be an excellent resource, both as a forum and for having documentations.

Yes, Archimedes's Principle work with gases as well. The fundamental physical property behind it is density. As hot air contain atoms and molecules with higher kinetic energy than cold air. As a result it has a lower density, and the cold air goes downwards.

An old item in a new package :)

Wolfram MathWorld has a pretty interesting entry about Sudoku. There are also a couple of noteworthy references to read as well.
