Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.You could, for example, have a way of measuring the pressure such that you can identify the location of a high pressure region (a wave... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.Yup, I agree. I bungled it up. I was trying to make the statements of the speed of light to that of sound as comparable as possible, but... -

I find this comparison confusing: - For sound you talk about "moving relative to the wave". (Whatever that means) - For light you talk... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.Oh, yeah. What a flub. I fixed it. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.I don't know. But here is the full quote ... Sorry if it's repititious. Okay, thanks for letting me know. I made an edit. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.I should have described your motion as being relative to the medium rather than relative to the source. What's the source? If you're... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.No. It was my misunderstanding. -

No. The shape of a stress-strain graph doesn't depnd on the wire's diameter. So the breaking stress and strain are 'constants' for the... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.But ##\epsilon_{max}## depends on the wire's diameter, no? -

The given answer does not require exact linearity. -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.No, I don't think so. Glass has some elasticity. You could witness this, for example, by reflecting a beam of light off the surface of a... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?.The speed of light is not just constant, it's also invariant. Meaning that if you were to travel alongside a beam of light, it would... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension.That relation only holds if, when the force is removed, the wire returns to it's former length. If you apply enough force the wire will... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Physics Need some advice! (making a physics YouTube channel).Take a look at brilliant.org/MateoStabio -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread High School Limiting case for an Atwood's machine.Only in the limiting case where ##m_1## is zero. In other words, you have an ideal pulley and you hang two objects such that the mass...
