Graduate Artificial Black Holes, again
Sorry guys, we tried to come up with some good questions but I guess not. Would you guys be so kind as to remove my posts? Um would you remove your responses too?- MelissaSweet

Graduate Artificial Black Holes, again
Hi again, my friends and I came up with a few more questions. We hope they're not too naive: :smile: Isn't your angular momentum effect limited by the Earth's own angular momentum? Therefore wouldn't classical gravity work to grow the nanoblackhole because mass falls to the center of the...- MelissaSweet

Graduate Artificial Black Holes, again
Hi guys. Just a few quick questions: Your calculations seem to be based on a constant rate of absorption, is this right? Wouldn't the absorption rate increase exponentially? In your cross section, are you looking only at the Schwarzschild radius? Doesn't gravity extend far beyond...- MelissaSweet

Undergrad Calculating Effects of Collisions in Series - Melissa
Patrick, Okay, that's as I thought. There isn't an easier way. Each calculation is a separate function. Thanks Melissa- MelissaSweet

Undergrad Calculating Effects of Collisions in Series - Melissa
Hiya Patrick, I like that name (being of Irish descent myself). In fact I found a four-leaf clover in my yard just yesterday so I'm really feeling the luck o' the Irish is with me! o:) Anyway, yes. You can presume the problem in point masses (but it's not pointless!) and inelastic...- MelissaSweet

Undergrad Calculating Effects of Collisions in Series - Melissa
Oh, okay sweetie. I'm looking at a 3-body collision. Body x is in a stationary frame relative to the observer. Body y is moving to intercept body x and body y2 will intercept xy shortly thereafter in an exactly opposite trajectory to y, stopping xyy2 relative to the observer. How do you...- MelissaSweet

Undergrad Calculating Effects of Collisions in Series - Melissa
Hi guys! I was hoping that some of you smart guys and gals might be able to help me. I'm looking for the simplest way to describe a series of collisions. Basically, an object colliding with another object, then a time delay and then another object colliding with the first two and so on...- MelissaSweet
