    Why Does Copper Change Color During Electrolysis with Kids?

    Hello all! My son is getting ready to go into the 2nd grade here on Wednesday and although he takes breaks during the summer, I really try to keep his education rolling throughout the entire year. As such, I try to get him excited by doing experiments and other things to captivate him and get...

    How many electrons does one Ohm prevent/resist?

    Well I was certainly expecting a much more elaborate explanation but you cleared my ignorance for this question! To make sure I am able to figure this out on my own from here on out... 1. Difference in Amperage = Difference in Charge 2. Subtract the initial Electrons from resulting electrons...

    How many electrons does one Ohm prevent/resist?

    Hello All! I am having a rather difficult time locating the answer that I am seeking. What I am trying to determine is a little more understanding about resistance. I know that 1 Amp is coulombs per second, and that is 6.241×1018 electrons. I know that 1Ω is 1 Amp across 1 Volt. However what I...

    Building a ~20khz Radio on the Cheap

    Http://www.Instructables.comThere are many many radio designs with many frequency ranges available at the site. Are you aiming for the aircraft band or some other particular type of frequency? The radio I just built was for trying to pick up Jupiter's emf so I can hear the "noises" theta net...

    Mechanical Engineering degree/transfer student Q's, advice highly recommended.

    The math is all in sequence, so I will go from 95 to 111 than 112 and finally 251. The problem is the time is takes to get to 251 because without you can not even start taking the engineering courses that apply to the major. That's the issue. I'm not sure if it will set me back completely, I...

    YOU: Fix the US Energy Crisis

    A little late to the game on this one, but is there really a "crisis" of energy? I've only had power outages when I lived on a military base, which were usually scheduled and posted to the public about 5 days in advance, and I never turn on a light switch and the power not be there. Is the...

    Is Spacetime Linear? - The Universe in a Nutshell

    The 3D net makes a lot more sense to be honest. And by linear I mean flat, straight, like a line. Thank you for the answer though as it does shed some light on the topic for me.

    Is Spacetime Linear? - The Universe in a Nutshell

    I was wondering about this question when I was reading my new book The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking and the images in the book depict space time as a linear fabric. I don't understand how this could be if the sun has a spherical gravitational pull, as we see at the very outermost...

    Tension between 3 blocks of equal mass

    Thanks for the speedy reply, I appreciate it. I do not understand how to solve as a function of m though. This is Physics 101, however I know what you mean by function so I will try my best at your recommendtion. However, given the problem, I think I can assign any value to the blocks for mass...

    Tension between 3 blocks of equal mass

    Homework Statement The problem, verbatum from my textbook... Three identical blocks are pulled, as shown, on a horizontal frictionless surface. If tension in the rope held by the hand is 30N, what is the tension in the other ropes? The three blocks are tied together by string and a...
