    Questions about the common-ion effect

    Thank you for your response, and sorry for my late reply. I have been trying to figure out how to apply the math to what I want to figure out and am still struggling. I believe I know how to calculate the Ksp correctly, but I don’t know what to do after that. For example, I can calculate the...

    Questions about the common-ion effect

    I have two questions about the common-ion effect. Sorry if my terminology is not correct, I’ll try to be as clear as possible. My goal is to be able to understand what will happen to a solution of two compounds with a common ion, when subject to evaporation and temperature change. So, I really...

    Can the human body produce EMPs?

    Maybe EMP was a poor choice of words. Maybe electric or electromagnetic discharge is more appropriate?

    Can the human body produce EMPs?

    Is there any way which is more scientific to understand "a sudden discharge of accumulated sexual excitement"? Specifically, what is the "accumulated sexual excitement"? Again this is not referring to any fluid transfer, but just the orgasm itself. It seems to me to be almost like a...

    Can the human body produce EMPs?

    I'm sure this is a strange question, but I am really curious as to whether the human body can produce electromagnetic pulses. And particularly, whether an orgasm is a type of EMP. Wikipedia says an orgasm is "a sudden discharge of accumulated sexual excitement". So is this discharge of...

    Wow, I wish that were true!:sorry: Every answer just leads to more questions. Therefore, I don't see my line of questioning ending anytime soon, but you have already done more than enough, so I will stop wasting your time. Thanks for your help and your patience!:bow: If I want more answers I...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    I'm honestly not sure. I've seen astronauts or other things, like in the ISS, floating and it takes very little force to move something in a specific direction. When they are floating, they are moving a little, but it is hard to tell if it is from prior force applied. However, without a...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    Darn, thought I had it!o_O It depends on the mass right? ... but the mass is the same... The acceleration includes direction, so won't it have a similar result as net force, because acceleration is happening in two different directions? wait.. I understand that 2 opposite forces can create a...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    Okay, so there is an initial force to the right and then a force from the left, meaning the net force is the larger force minus the smaller force. And in either case the net force will be less than the larger force, and mass will stay the same, so the acceleration must decrease. Since...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    *BASKETBALL UPDATE* So, I just came back from shooting around and playing a few games and, from the best I can tell, I think the power behind the shot may be about the same regardless of the hand motion, shooting hand coming up with the ball or shooting hand just meeting the ball at the peak...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    I now realize that my question for basketball may be too complicated to answer due to the complexity of many factors. However, just so I walk away learning a little more about physics, here is a really simplified version of what I am wondering. Does it takes more force to move X amount of mass...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    Thanks, I saw the info! I've been playing basketball for many years and I shoot fine, and like most people do. But what I am wondering about is whether I should be dribbling and then gathering with my off hand or my shooting hand. I always gather with my shooting hand, and from what I've seen...

    B How to shoot longer shots in basketball

    Then considering a set shot, removing all other factors like jumping etc., and imagining a candy cane shaped path from the ground up, and releasing the ball at the peak or crest, ...is it possible that the vertical portion of the path is adversely affecting the forward momentum of the ball?

    By circular motion are you referring to the spin of the ball or the path of the ball through the air?
