Would a silver suite be a better body temperature decreaser
Would a silver suite be a better body temperature decreaser than a mister of water? I cool myself off by spraying myself with water but I hear silver is the best conductor, is it better at conducting heat off my body than mist?- Paul Dirac

Undergrad At what angle do you shoot a projectile so height=range?
TY nasu. Why is the answer 75.96? Why is the answer not 45 degrees?- Paul Dirac

Undergrad At what angle do you shoot a projectile so height=range?
Why is the answer 75.96? How is that intuitive? Why is it the same on every planet?- Paul Dirac

Undergrad At what angle do you shoot a projectile so height=range?
So I noticed that gravitational constant g cancels out of the equation, does that imply gravity is not a factor in answering this question? Which would imply that the same angle would work on the moon? Why is the answer not 45 degrees? Why is the answer greater?- Paul Dirac

O okay, so would Newton's method be the best numerical technique for this trigonometric equation that we can restrict the angles?- Paul Dirac

I used these equations. How do I solve the one I posted?- Paul Dirac

Undergrad At what angle do you shoot a projectile so height=range?
I got 0.5sin2x-sin(2x)=0 but I don't know how to algebraically solve that equation- Paul Dirac

Undergrad At what angle do you shoot a projectile so height=range?
And does the answer depend on gravity? In other words would it be the same angle on the moon?- Paul Dirac

Graduate Why is the anti-neutrino going against time?
so why does the math permit the arrow pointing downwards? which equation implies that? so do all anti-particles by convention point downwards? Thanks!- Paul Dirac

Graduate Can Tritium Undergo Nuclear Decay in 1 Second or 1 Eon?
Thanks for your answer. My question is, is it possible that tritium could decay in 1 second? Or how about 1 eon?- Paul Dirac

The arrow for the electron antineutrino is pointing down which is against time, why is that?- Paul Dirac

Graduate Can Tritium Undergo Nuclear Decay in 1 Second or 1 Eon?
For example tritium has a half life of of 12.3 years. So if you had 2 atoms of tritium then after 12.3 year you would expect to have 1 atom of tritium and 1 atom of h-3. My question is, is it possible that tritium could decay in 1 second? Or how about 1 eon? I know its not probable but is it...- Paul Dirac
