    Chemical Reactions: Stronger Bonds, Reactive Elements

    briefly the above states that : water is a buffer system if ANY ions of any other element/compound are present that means for example (caps means more, / means less) standard: h+ + oh- -> h20 excess H+ : H+ + /oh- -> h20 ) due to there being more acid, the system automatically balances this...

    High School Are Planetary Orbits in the Solar System Flat or 3D?

    I was wondering, after reading a few posts on various things related to 'The clockworks of the solar system' such as angular velocity and orbital periods,in a 3-dimensional sense, are planets orbital paths all over, or are they flat on one plane, varying in only 2 dimensions? i imagine it...

    Graduate Does dark matter fall into a black hole, and create radiation

    before i post i will make it clear to ZapperZ since he hates me, that THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER JUST A SUGGESTION! I AM NOT SAYING I KNOW EVERYTHING! Before you can find an answer to whether it emits radiation when entering a black hole, you must first know the composition of the dark matter...

    Undergrad Gravity - a function of mass or of density?

    oh lol just makes me look like a fool haha :)

    Undergrad Gravity - a function of mass or of density?

    yes i agree, but my point is, there will be more points to exist in around the object, its hard for me to put it into words but i will try again lol a star for example 1x10^30 m = r vs a singularity with equal mass to experience (g=x) you would have to be inside the star and therefore would...

    Undergrad Defining Time: Our Everyday Mystery

    could time not just be how we perceive the clockworks of the universe, i know for continuity something has to be 'ticking' the rate of the universe, but maybe time itself is only here because we observed rates and changes. but, does activity depend on time, or does time depend on activity? I...

    Undergrad Gravity - a function of mass or of density?

    no not at that point, but where density is greater the potential exists to experience stronger regions of the field than where density is lower, the overall field strength at any point will not change unless the mass changes, but more of it's gravity can be 'Felt' as objects can be closer to it...

    Undergrad Gravity - a function of mass or of density?

    how can you say that when things like black holes have infinite density (or just under) and they are much more powerful sources of gravity than for example a star with equal mass but greater volume. I think density must be related to the acceleration of gravity produced think about g =...
