    Undergrad What If Earth Suddenly Reversed Its Rotation or Changed Its Axis?

    I know that climate, seasonal and magnetic poles would be affected by this, but please, refer to them in your answer. What would happen if Earth were to suddenly reverse direction of its rotation, or suddenly change it's axis so it rotates side to side (like uranus) or front to back instead...

    Graduate What Are the Effects of the Euler Force?

    Can anyone describe what the effects of the Euler force are? If you're not familar with it, it is a fictitious force that arises from a rotating object undergoing a change in rotation speed. Can someone tell me what the effects of this fictitious force are?

    Graduate Is the Universe Beyond Our Perception?

    I don't know about you, but I know that everything has limits. So I have a question; Is the universe just three dimensions plus time and contain just the forces, energies, and laws of physics that we know about; or is there more dimensions and physics laws, energies and forces that are in this...

    Rotations, Speed and Directions by eye (may be biology)

    I have a problem thinking about rotations. As we all know, it takes 360 degrees to complete a circle, 720 to do two rotations, 1080 for three full rotations, 1440 degrees for four and 1800 for five and so on. My question is, what is the amount of complete rotations a human eye can see in one...

    Graduate How does light travel at a constant speed without mass or inertia?

    You are truly right, my friend. Can you explain why light has a constant speed, please?

    Graduate How does light travel at a constant speed without mass or inertia?

    Hi, I read this from a website, which says, INFINITE ACCELERATION: Acceleration (according to General Relativity) has the effect of dilating time. A photon undergoing infinite acceleration/deceleration would 'experience' no elapsed time on a journey of any spatial length.At infinite...

    Undergrad Newton's Second Law: Light & Heavy Objects, Same Force & Acceleration?

    I know that violating physics laws is impossible; this is just a question, so just answer it and don't say that can't happen. Anyways, if there is a light object and a heavy object, and forces of the same magnitude are exerted on the the objects, and despite the heavier mass, the heavier object...

    Graduate Can Objects with Zero Mass Move Without an Applied Force?

    Is it true that if an object has zero mass, and zero inertia, it would move spontaneously in any direction without an applied force?

    Undergrad Inertia and conservation of momentum

    How are inertia (Newton's first law) and the law of conservation of linear momentum related? Also, how does Newton's first law for rotation (rotational inertia or moment of inertia) related to the law of conservation of angular momentum?

    Undergrad Moment of inertia and martial arts

    How does moment of inertia apply to all the martial arts kicks, punches and other moves?

    Undergrad Capoeira Physics Explained: Learn Acrobatic Martial Art

    Can someone please explain the full physics of capoeira (you know, the acrobatic martial art)?

    Undergrad What If the Human Body Used First or Second Class Levers?

    I know that the human body is mostly made of third class levers, making it fit for speed. What would happen if the human body were made of first or second class levers?

    Undergrad Kinetic energy and conservation of energy go together?

    I think the definitions would be good.

    Undergrad Kinetic energy and conservation of energy go together?

    I'll try... What I am looking for, is how these things are used in physical interactions.
