Ok, so I was doing this problem, *NOT* a homework problem, where I was solving for the force (and eventually, the work) required to move a body with a mass of m distance x in a given time y. I know that theoretically there would not be any force because there is no given acceleration and...

I believe that he is referring to the pathway to his graduate school.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that any oxidizing agent that is weaker than another makes it a stronger reducer than the other. But the one that is farther down would be the best reducer. IE hydroiodic acid would be a really good reducer.

I think if you studied a lot of electro chemistry you could probably do a lot of work involving fuel cell design for autos. By the way, I am a CHBE major at Georgia Tech, which I totally recommend as a major.

I have a question with regards to this subject. I noticed that some of my engineering textbooks (with regards to internal energy) refer to internal energy by the definition ΔU = q + w. Other times I see it as ΔU = w - q. I know it has something to do with the internalization of energy from...

So I guess what you are saying is there is no way of converting pounds directly into Newtons by dimensional analysis without a definition, in Newtons, of what a pound is, or without multiplying the conversion from lbs to kg by the gravitational acceleration constant?

Ok, so I was at lowes and I was trying to figure out the gauge pressure of a certain air compressor that used psi measurements. I don't have an iPhone or anything that can pull up internet converters so I figured I would have to do the conversion dimensionally. This posed a problem though as the...
