    Graduate Where Did the Superforce Go After Splitting?

    They didn't go anywhere. They are all alive and well as the four fundamental interactions: gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

    What is a liquid phase chemical that is insoluble in THF?

    Hey that table was still very useful. I may be able to use diethyl ether and dimethyl sulfoxide. Thank you very much

    What is a liquid phase chemical that is insoluble in THF?

    Hello, I'm looking for a liquid phase chemical that would be insoluble in THF (that would phase separate). Does anyone know of one, or where I could find that information?

    Power Supply Failure? PC Won't Power On

    The power supply does nothing. The fan does not spin. So that means that it is the power supply?

    Power Supply Failure? PC Won't Power On

    Hello, My PC stopped working a little while ago, and I think the power supply went out, but I'm not sure. It will not power on at all, but the light on my motherboard is still lighting up. Is this most likely a problem wih the power supply?

    Graduate Maximum Atomic Weight: What is Possible Beyond 150?

    The nucleus is more stable when it has a certain number of nucleons. The numbers are referred to as magic numbers. If both nuleon numbers are a magic number, then the nucleus is at its most stable. The known numbers are 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126...

    High School Can Entropy Explain the Cold Temperatures of Outer Space?

    There are three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. The only heat transfer possible in a vacuum is radiation because of the lack of matter.

    Graduate Electrons travel faster than the speed of light

    An electron is described by its wave function. The wave function is used to find the probability density of the electron, that is, the probability of it being at locations within a certain space. This is because an electron is not a point in the classical sense. It doesn't have an exact...

    Graduate Photon Acceleration: Speed, Mass & Emission

    Oh I see. So my thinking was basically correct, except that the photons are absorbed by vibrations in the lattice structure and not the atoms themselves. Thanks a lot.

    Graduate Photon Acceleration: Speed, Mass & Emission

    So the photons themselves travel at c in all mediums, but the light propagates at different speeds? Is it because some photons are absorbed or deflected, so it slows the total rate at which the light moves through the medium? I'm not too familiar with a lot of optics, so maybe I'm completely wrong.

    Graduate Photon Acceleration: Speed, Mass & Emission

    In refraction, what causes the change of direction and speed of the photon? This speed change is also discontinuous, right?

    Undergrad Quick question regarding tangential acceleration

    I think torque is responsible for tangential acceleration. Increased torque will increase tangential acceleration.

    Water-Powered Car: Breaking the Molecular Bond & Burning Hydrogen

    That would just reverse the original reaction and result in a water molecule. H+O2 -> H2O

    Line Integral Problem: Evaluating F(x,y) on Lower Half of Unit Circle

    Homework Statement Let F=x^{2}i+2xyj, and let C be the lower half of the unit circle, with perametrization r(t)=<cos(t),sin(t)>,\pi\leqt\leq\pi. Evaluate \ointF\cdotdr. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The first thing I tried to do was to find a function f(x,y) so...
