    Can You Move a Spaceship By Running and Jumping In It?

    hmm inertia is dependant on the mass of an object so why would it requier a small force when there are no other forces acting on it?

    Can You Move a Spaceship By Running and Jumping In It?

    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Its not possible that you could run and jump into the walls to move the spaceship as you will first have to overcome the inertia of the spaceship.

    From Celsius to Kelvin - why +273?

    Hello Centigrade scale has ice point (melting ice at 1 atm) and steam point (steam at 1 atm) taken for the scale, 0 degree celsius and 100 degree celsius respectively. For Kelvin scale, its just that the scale starts from absolute zero ( the coldest temperature ). If absolute zero is in...

    A few little questions about force

    I think that there is a high and low tide because the moon revolves around the Earth in an ellipse thus there are 2 points that are close to Earth and 2 points that are far from earth... when the moon revolves till the closer points, there is a high tide, when it moves further from the 2 close...
