Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Topic about physics axioms, theory, laws etc...Because in 4 the speed is less than c. Here's a geometric analogy. If you stack wedges 1 and 2 (see figure) you can make the slope of... -

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Topic about physics axioms, theory, laws etc...Einstein constructed his special theory of relativity in 1905 using these as postulates. His goal was to show the consequences of...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Topic about physics axioms, theory, laws etc...Correct. Math uses deductive reasoning to reach conclusions. Science uses inductive reasoning. Of course, inductive reasoning doesn't...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Topic about physics axioms, theory, laws etc...Not usually. The special theory of relativity is based on two postulates. I can't think of any other examples of that. It, like all...

Herman Trivilino reacted to south's post in the thread I Question about a Square Light Clock with
Like.
Thanks to the persons wich help me. Best regards. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Question about a Square Light Clock.You'd have a way to distinguish between a state of rest and a state of uniform motion, violating the 1st Postulate.
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.So do you understand that you choose a nearby point and use those two points to determine a slope. Then you choose another point that's...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity.Can you understand the slope of a line that is tangent to a curve at a point? This is the same issue. How can a point, which has no...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.I think that such a definition is beyond what I can put in a forum post. It wouldn't do justice to the question asked, and would just...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.There have been efforts in the last 15-20 years in many of the mainstream college-level introductory physics textbooks to make the...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.I didn't know that you were making a distinction.
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.And the work done by the object on your hand would be +10 000 J. But note that that thermal energy is shared by both the object and the...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.That seems like a different point to me. When you refer to the work done "on" something, or the work done "by" something aren't you...
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.One would be a positive quantity and the other negative.
-
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread B The work done by two objects on each other.Certainly. In fact some of them are masterful at it and go on to excel in chemistry, physics, engineering, or math. Others succeed in...
