    What is the minimum speed for waterskiing based on body mass?

    since the motion involves turbulent flow, it is very difficult to translate into equations unless you use principles of Chaos Theory. the situation involves viscous drag force of tubulent water + drag force of air

    Logarithmic Problem: Is There an Error?

    I an somewhat a layman, but i came across this problem. For any a & b, (b is not 0): ¤ a/b - a/b =0. [taking log to base 10 both sides] ¤ log(a/b - a/b) = log0. ¤ Log((a-a)/b) = log0. ¤Log(a-a) - logb = log0 ¤ log0 - logb = log0 ¤ -logb = log0-log0 ¤...

    Surface Tension: Estimating Droplet Radius with a Sprayer

    i have a question on surface tension. if i had a a sprayer which squirted a liquid of density p through a hole of radius 'r', following which the liquid breaks into 'n' equal-sized droplets.can i estimate the radius of each droplet??

    Division by Zero - Can it be Done?

    Since x/0 =inf ,where x is any number then 0*inf should be x.But 0 multiplied by anything is 0.And inf multiplied is inf. Someone please resolve this paradox.

    Why Mass Doesn't Always Add When Two Systems Combine

    energy and momentum r conserved because they r energetic forms, whereas mass is a form of condensed form of it.mass is not pure energy.it is not quantized

    What is a Particle? Understanding the Concept

    a particle is evidently a distortion in space-time which basically implies that it may or may not have mass.however it must "exist" classically by affecting its field co ordinates.also it must in itself not exceed an atomic radius.conceptually even a beta particle is a particle whereas...
