Herman Trivilino's latest activity

I think he finds her attractive and he cannot compete with that.

Me, either. It's the old chalk-and-talk teaching method. I refer to it as the low-energy state of teaching. Completely devoid of any...

You should and in my opinion must include lots of demonstrations. Look for and attend as many Physics Magic Shows or the like as you can...

You mean energy is being transferred for a period of time equal to 10 000 seconds. That doesn't describe the amount of energy...

No. One of the great unifications in physics was the discovery that there is an equivalence between mechanical and thermal energy...

Yes, but the author's claim seems to imply that it's something that applies only to quantum mechanics: When in fact it's not unique to...

A physicist was attending a conference in a large venue that happened to also be holding an economics conference. One morning the...

That's true for the basic principles of every physical theory. Look at it this way. A proof starts with assumptions and uses deductive...

Teaching here on the gulf coast, humidity has been the bane of my electrostatics demonstrations and student experiments. In grad school...

... rather vague. So I addressed a specific point of yours: I gave you examples on how this approach fails and leads to wrong...

The problem with Newton's formulation is not that it is too brief, but rather the opposite: He should have skipped the initial prose...

I also presented research-based and other lessons I learned during my professional development activities. Followed up with homework...

And continues to do so. Elementary education teachers just have students memorize the blurb, "For every action there is an equal but...

Wow! This thread seems to be degenerating into a quibble. Newton's contemporaries were 17th and 18th century natural philosophers. Not...

Depends on what you mean by "harder". The force exerted is the same but the rate at which energy is expended is greater.
