    Understanding Newton's Third Law: How Forces Work on Different Objects

    Newton third laws work on the different things.ex : when you kick the ball, the ball give you the same force as you kick the ball, see ,,, two differents things ! ball and your foot. while in your example you say that that laws work on the same stuff, other wrong example is the normal force vs...

    Exploring the Paradox of Relativity's Speed of Light

    CMIIW isnt one of einstein postulate said that the speed of light is constant independant of the observer, or in other words the speed of light is just the same for any observer.

    What are electromagnetic waves made of?

    electromagnetic field is a wave that consist a magnetic field and electric field that simultaneously spread . it once only the prediction of maxwell that predicted there was a relation between magnetic and electric field from the fact that each of them can create the other with the...

    Can I Get a Flat Distribution with a Random Number Generator?

    in c++ #include <iostream> #include <ctime> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std; int main() { int x; srand((unsigned) time(NULL)); x = (rand() %100) + 1; cout << x << endl; } x = (rand() %100) + 1 => you can change the "100" into any number you want to be the...

    Find two solutions for Cosine theta = 1/2 for

    maybe i can help since cos 60 = 1/2 , i'll use x as theta => cos x = cos 60 1. cos x = 60 + k.360 => x = 60 2. cos theta = -60 + k.360 => x = 300 in degree x = {60, 300} in radian x = {1/3 pi rad, 5/3 pi rad}

    Speed of Light: Exploring Its Variations

    speed of light (c = 3 x 10^8) is an constant while on vacuum but c vary in other medium depend on its density. => n = c/v while n = refractive index. higher refractive index means less density. CMIIW
