Wow, its the simple things I seem to not think of... Lol

Well, I understand the acceleration aspect. Just wasnt sure why Force was mass by acceleration. Couldnt we say that an object traveling at a constant velocity that hits a motionless object imposes a force upon impact?

Ill dive into my college physics book when I have the chance. Thanks I appreciate the fast replies

Well that would explain it. My physics teacher never would explain why and he skipped momentum for some odd reason

Hello, I understand that force is mass x acceleration. What I don't understand is why acceleration and not velocity. Can someone explain why exactly

Hello, Ive got what some can call a simple question. When an object is burning, I know the 3 things a fire needs are energy, fuel and oxygen. When the object, let's say a sheet of paper, do the oxygen atoms combine with atoms of the paper and become the ash, soot, and smoke the results? I...

Hello I was wondering if someone can be as detailed as possible in describing what fire is, processes, etc... I understand that it is a type of electromagnetic phenomenon. Are there any formulas behind fire? Thanks

Hello, I am curious as to how this works exactly. What I have a question regarding is having multiple solenoids within 2 inches of each other. Say we have a square, and on each corner is a solenoid standing up, so the corner is center on the axis going through the solenoid. All of them have...

Hello, I have some questions regarding gravity. I was wondering if there was a certain formula to figure out the gravity of particles. For instance, we have a single proton, how would we know its gravity? On the other end of the scale, we have a neutron star, how would I figure out its...

So an electromagnetic field couldn't say, disturb light, or any other frequency on the EM Spectrum? Any one force not having an affect on the other is incorrect, look at gravity, it has an affect on electromagnetism. Michael

As far as a link for this? A Simple Google search should provide some information on this for you, But if youre looking for an answer specifically relating to his question on the ability of black holes to form relative to time, the answer lies in the thread. Time is relative to the situation...

Ok, the link for the solenoid, if I wished to use a different type of core, say an iron core or later on some type of superconducting materials, what modifications to the equation would need to be made? I imagine superconducting materials require a bit more then say an iron core, but just...

Ok, Another post. Sorry about all of the posting. After looking around a little bit more, I have found some more on the subject, some in a few physics books and other resources. So what I have found is a formula for a solenoid of a specific length, certain number of turns, and such. But out of...

Or if you can give me a resource that I can look all this information up in, that would be a great help as well. I am looking around the web, but havnt found much but straight solenoids. If you can provide a solution for a whole variety or a resource to help me out instead of bugging you, I...

Now that you ask, I was actually looking into that as well. I was going to end up asking later about other types of electromagnets as well. Because all of the equations I have found have dealt with Solenoids, but now am looking into other types of electromagnets so i don't end up asking this...
