Can't you substitute gravity for deceleration? Basically if you turn a deceleration car to it going upwards, it's the same as a thrown ball except with different deceleration rates

The formula that is applied to falling objects with disregard to any exterior forces except gravity is : d=0.5(g)(t^2) Can it also be applied to decelerating bodies, such as cars, with disregard to friction? Such as a car with an initial velocity slowing down to 0 m/s over a distance of 50...

If the orbit is elliptical then the two bodies wouldn't be orbiting around each other.

Let's say there are two bodies with equivalent mass. The first one orbits the second, and the second one orbits the first. What kind of orbital pattern would result? Assume that the only force considered here is gravity. I know that the centripetal and centrifugal forces are the result of action...

If the experiments at the LHC and Brookhaven National Lab weren't even approaching the energies needed to replicate the Big Bang, what's the point of even initiating the experiment? Since these experiments deal with quantum particles, the scientists have to reach a specific amount of energy...

Heh my mistake. I always seem to forget that force is the product of acceleration AND mass.

I think he might be referring to gravitational force, as in g-force. 1G is the amount of force we feel on Earth (approximate), etc.

If QGP has a very short lifetime, why is it so significant to scientists? I've heard that some people think it leads to the Big Bang theory, but if this collision event really does recreate something similar to the Big Bang, how come it didn't expand tremendously into an entirely new universe...

I see. Did the scientists at Brookhaven National Lab confirm the temperature of the collision event? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that they measured the wavelengths of the released particles and calculated the temperature from there.

I thought scientists at CERN fired lead ions? If lead is heavier than gold chemically, wouldn't it create a much greater temperature due to the collision of more quarks?

Lately, I've heard that the scientists at Brookhaven National Lab were able to create a collision between gold ions that generated 4 trillion degrees Celsius. They said that this amount of energy in the collision was more than enough, according to their calculations, to melt the nucleons into a...
