    How many pages can you read for free on google books?

    yup that happened to me too... there must be some set rule for this though, but it seems to vary from book to book (unless its based on how you click within the book?) I already looked around for an answer on google forums but can't find answer btw..

    What are the two ways to study literature?

    I mean there's one way to read a book where the author becomes all important to the narrative, (like his/her life, why it was written, the era it comes from, etc) ) and then the other way is where what the author writes has a life of its own, and takes on meanings that the author might not even...

    Undergrad What is the Math symbol for "corresponds with"

    I looked on the wiki math symbol page and couldn't find one, so I am thinking "corresponds" is wrong word. Is it supposed to be equals sign with hat on it? for example, "energy directly corresponds to wavenumber" thanks for any help

    Undergrad How does an EM wave impart momentum to some material?

    Book says one of the properties of EM waves is they can impart momentum (and angular momentum)... What would be an example of this? (a simple example in terms of first year physics i mean)

    When they release soundtrack do they pt the song order so it fits together as one connected composition or is it just like the movie sequence? Hans Zimmer Inception for example, does it follow some musical structure or is it exactly as youd hear it in the film?

    Why does a moving object gain energy?

    Homework Statement One of the hints to this problem says "An object in motion always gains kinetic energy, so the change in energy of an object starting from rest would be P = m(v^2) / (2t) I understand that a moving object has kinetic energy, but why did they say it gains kinetic energy (or...
