    B Can space be curved in relation to an absolute straight space?

    The example of walking on sphere is just to understand why something that is curved may seem straight. The curvature of space is real and that is what we call Gravity. Near any massive body, space is curved towards center and hence any free object will move towards center, and we call it freely...

    Minimum horizontal force needed so book does not fall?

    No, I thought u were talking about frictional force in part c. For part b frictional force would be Us * N. And since the book is not moving horizontally, it means the horizontal forces are balanced. So N equals P. Also there is no need of considering max static friction in this problem. Hope...

    Minimum horizontal force needed so book does not fall?

    The frictional force will balance the weight of the book F equals mg

    [Mechanics of Solid] Friction on a needle inserted in tissue

    U can use the formula Pressure * Volume equals Force*h(h is length of penetration)

    Minimum horizontal force needed so book does not fall?

    U r getting confused. All your calculations are correct. U just have to understand them fundamentally. Think about whether the answer in c should be compared with b or with a?

    Minimum horizontal force needed so book does not fall?

    Something to make u think instead of giving the answer. Why should u compare ur answer in c with ur answer in b?

    Effect of number of coils on current in a generator?

    If u r just dropping the magnet then the speed of the magnet is not constant throughout the drop. It will be less in first half and as compared to second half. So the rate of change of magnetic flux is not the same through the two coils(assuming the coils are one above the other) . Apart from...

    What makes physics discussions so addictive?

    Have joined this forum out of my interest to discuss physics. I come from engineering background and current in IT. Very passionate about physics for discussions, teaching and learning (There is always something new to learn) . I find this site very addictive and am looking forward to interact...

    B Does the moon rotate on its axis?

    If something is not rotating around its axis then any distant observer should see the same side of the object irrespective of the object's revolution That is not the case with moon as seen from the Sun or the person on merry go round as seen from someone outside. While walking if u take a...

    Find if the boat will see the flare, what angle will they?

    Yes exactly. And for the second part you can find the angle taking S as 200 in the same range formula and finding the angle. You may get a range of angles with 45 deg as the mid point of that range

    Find if the boat will see the flare, what angle will they?

    u*sin(33.3) will give the vertical velocity and distance not the horizontal range
