I am going to be a freshman in college and I intend to major in astrophysics. This past year I took AP calculus AB, and I got an A and I believe I did well on the AP test (results haven't come back yet though). This morning I took my school's math placement test, and I was placed into...

Homework Statement If you know the acceleration of a car and its initial velocity, you can predict which of the following? A. The direction of the car's initial velocity B. The magnitude of the car's final velocity C. The displacement of the car D. All of the above Homework Equations I said...

Okay! thank you so much for the info sir. It's greatly appreciated. Looks like I need to firm up my understanding of what a black hole even is :) Thanks again!

According to this video, , if a black hole is large enough you could actually travel for some time within the event horizon without dying because the event horizon is so far from the actual singularity. So, assuming that's true, what would you see while you were inside the black hole? Here's...

If they don't merge, would they just explode?

This is so dope

Yeah I have and there isn't very much on two sun-like stars colliding, and i couldn't find anything on how it would effect the Earth of our own Sun was one of the involved stars.

What would happen if the Sun collided with an exact copy of itself? I can't find any information online about this exact scenario. So what would happen to the Sun? What would happen to the Earth and the rest of the planets? Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

It was dry, I believe. Here are my numbers: A. Mass of clean dry crucible 22.130 B. Mass of crucible and KClO3 23.887 C. Mass of crucible and contents after the first heating 23.441 D. Mass of crucible and contents after the second heating 23.407 E. Mass of crucible and contents after the third...

Homework Statement I did this lab on percentage of oxygen in potassium chlorate and I got a percent error of about 30%. I now need to find three reasons for error, and human error does not count. I think one could be that the masses used in calculating the theoretical percentage of oxygen were...

Oh haha you mean like neutronium? Why is it unlikely?

So I know that all the elements above 92 on the periodic table do not occur naturally, does that mean that we've discovered all the naturally occurring elements? Is it possible that there can be elements with a higher atomic number than 118 that we just haven't discovered yet in nature?

you don't need a formula for this one

That's awesome! Thank you so much!

Well yeah I know, but most every school has a physics major so that doesn't require very much searching. Thanks for the info!
