High School Can I Use Magnets to Create a Temperature-Sensitive Pendulum?
It would cool down enough, because, if you think about it, it only starts cooling the second it's too far away. Then, it is immediately pulled back up. Of course, correct placement is required.- Lame One

It is not perpetual motion, hence the quotes. It needs to be constantly fueled with a candle, which, of course, is a consistent input of energy.- Lame One

Programs Engineering Degrees: Is it worth going to UofG, McMaster, Western, or Ryerson?
While I do not know much about those two schools in particular, I can tell you that which school you go to will probably have a bit of an impact on your first few jobs, but not much else. Obviously, if you were planning to work on something that parrallels the Manhattan Project, it'd help to...- Lame One

Do we know what type of organism/life first started on Earth?
First, a bit of semantics for clarities sake. I just want to make sure that you understand Archaea is not a species, but a Domain. It was a broad answer, but the best one we could give. Next, replication is a requirement of life. Is something cannot reproduce, it is not considered alive...- Lame One

High School Can I Use Magnets to Create a Temperature-Sensitive Pendulum?
Something that I might try is to create a "perpetual" machine. Magnets become less magnetic when they are heated (but check to make sure that yours get it back! Some do NOT). If you set up a magnet on a pendulum, then, off to one side of the swing, put a candel. Then, set up another magnet...- Lame One

How Far Does the Block Compress the Spring?
A bit of a hint for the velocity: If there is no friction, then energy is going to be in either the block or the spring at any given time.- Lame One

Does the ratio of protons and electrons affect entropy in chemical reactions?
Okay, think about it like this. Entropy can be seen as the total amount of arrangments of particles. Now, obviously, you can mix up 5 particles more than you can mix up 2, correct? So, if you ask yourself what the differences are between a liquid and an aqueous solution, I'm sure that you can...- Lame One

What Does It Cost to Use Electrical Appliances in Different Scenarios?
Yeah, that's kinda why I skipped the second question as well. You sort of made it sound like a graph or something was given, and you just threw the question at us.- Lame One

What Strategies Can Help Aljosha Tackle Challenging Limits in Math?
In a way, \infty^3 is larger than \infty^2. In the case of finding the limit of \frac{100x^2}{20x^3}, for instance. I realize that you can easily eliminate the x's here, but that's not the point. Either way, this is getting off topic. I don't want to end up being the source of an argument...- Lame One

Combustion of 5kmol Fuel: Theoretical Air Calculation
Just making an observation here. The first reaction is unneeded, namely because C3H8 is not the chemical equation of propene. I thought it was a typo at first, but then I noticed that your equation was balanced out. Once you correct that, try again.- Lame One

What Strategies Can Help Aljosha Tackle Challenging Limits in Math?
I did not suggest arithmetic. By substituting infinity, it allows for you to reasonably eliminate most constants from the equation. Without doing this, you would be left with finding the square root of a polynomial, which is, of course, more difficult. Substituting in infinity and only...- Lame One

I agree with G01 on the first error. The second, however, I'm not so sure about his evaluation of number 3 part B. I received the same answer as you after doing the math multiple times. G01, are you sure that you multiplied by the 10 kwh? Not sure if that's it, but there's something off...- Lame One

What Strategies Can Help Aljosha Tackle Challenging Limits in Math?
Your English is fine, and in fact better than most people on the internet these days. For the first problem (I'm going to do it in 3 posts if you don't mind), try substituting infinity in for n, then just dealing with the infinities with the highest exponent. If you recall, you only need to...- Lame One

Spring Balance: Mass or Weight? Clearing Out Confusion
If you are referring to a conventional spring scale with the "actual display scale", then you cannot simply convert it to Newtons. A spring scale's weight 'value' is entirely dependent on gravity. If you went to the moon, for instance, a spring scale would show a smaller value due to the fact...- Lame One

Calculate distance - accleration, time, distance
What you have is right, but at the same time, not quite. In your question, you said that the acceleration is changing. The equation that you posted, however, can only, sadly, be used for constant acceleration. If you do some extra work, tinker with it and whatnot, you might be able to get it...- Lame One
