Agreed, cat state refers to a superposition of states, like Schrodingers cat. For instance Ammonia molecules can be in "cat" states. The nitrogen can be on one side or the other of the H3's and you cannot know which without checking.

I think this question is easier to think about if we think about charge and electric field, rather than mass and gravitational field. In the case of spherically symmetric solutions, the field goes like 1/r^2 simply... Now what happens in a pancake situatuion? Well for an infinite flat plane...

Because in your original problem the velocity is decreasing, thus the first derivative of velocity must be negative right?

Just because there are "tons" of matter somewhere above you, doesn't mean it is exerting any force on you. Why does your roof not crush you? Because something is holding it up. The reason air doesn't crush you is because more air is holding the higher air up. EDIT: Oh no, I thought you were...

Hmm see what I mean? You have no idea about my education, as I don't have any about yours. That said, I've never seen someone be so rude at any colloquium. I believe you are misinterpreting my "questions" on the other thread. Just because you ask something doesn't mean you don't already know...

It's somewhat ironic that this is here, as it is another thread I'm in where I'm getting a bit of an attitude from some people. But that's what happens when they don't think you understand and you present an alternative viewpoint to their established ideology.

I figured it might be something like that, never before have I seen a forum with such a feature implemented.

Not true with down-force onto those tires you can pull over 2 g at 100mph and somewhat less at lower speeds. Besides nothing ever happens accelerating off the line, its about going around corners. :wink: EDIT: Oh and can anyone sell me what the little warn thing is that shows up on the top...

I agree, and the tires only have so much static friction. Thus when you are going around a corner, you are more likely to loose control under braking or power from the engine. As the tire friction must also produce the acceleration to turn the car.

Remember all the baseball thrown at an angle problems? All you need is the coordinate and initial velocity, then you can calculate the rest. The reason is because when you know a position and velocity, it is assumed you can sample the fields to know its accelerations or any higher derivatives...

First off pressure doesn't have anything to do with how fast a molecule is moving. Secondly... circa...doesn't really mean that... :wink: By equipartition, <E>=kT, where k is the Boltzmann factor and T is its temperature in degree's Kelvin. <E>=.5m<v>^2=kT so the average velocity of a...

It wasn't loaded it was somewhat sarcastic. My point is, that if you think of air as a billiard ball in classical mechanics, why doesn't it go to the lowest gravitational potential possible, meaning the ground. There is no good reason why it wouldn't, so why would a bunch of billiard balls...

There are not too many collisions between air particles and other air particles, that is a requirement to use ideal gas law approximations. That still doesn't really explain it. So air, unlike everything else has mass but when it is accelerated to the ground it bounces off and back up into...

A better question might be why isn't all the air compressed on the floor? Nothing is holding the air up, so why does it not accelerate to the surface of the earth? This is my second post so I don't know if I'm supposed to backup a suggestion like this. But it is a statistical mechanics...

There is energy stored in E&M fields. Energy is a construct. It allows us to predict things, but it isn't like you can hold it and say "ahh so this is what energy is".
