Two capacitors are connected in parallel
Why distance is important in capacitance We know that capacitance can be calculated by the formula C=εA/d where 'd' is the distance between parallel plates. But why distance should matter? Can anyone explain please. Thank you.- pscience

High School Why Does Fundamental Freq Have Largest Amplitude?
Don't they die out?? Two waves traveling in opposite direction should die out according to super position principle (Zero amplitude). Then how standing waves are produced? Is this not a contradiction? Please help. thank you.- pscience

Surface waves vs longitudinal waves
in fluid only longitudinal waves propagate but in Ocean water both transverse and longitudinal waves propagate. Does that mean Ocean water is not a fluid? I am confused. Can anyone explain please.(Longitudinal wave is the evidence for Earth core is liquid)- pscience

Simple Harmonic Motion vibrations
Amlitude application of car When amplitude of SHM is constant(assuming no friction) why this amplitude is analogous to car springs displacement? Because after force applied car spring stretches (in real applications) and then displacement continues to decrease over a period of time. I am...- pscience

High School Why Does Ice Float in Water at 9°C?
Yes, the same chart I posted above my friend. Water density at 9C is 0.999781 g/mL and at 0C is 0.999841 g/mL. So clearly ice denser as per that chart. So shouldn't ice sink? Thank you and sorry to bother you. http://www2.volstate.edu/chem/1110/Density_of_Water.htm- pscience

High School Why Does Ice Float in Water at 9°C?
No context my friend. I was reading a physics book and curious to know more about it. so, you think that ice is less denser than water of any temperature. Is that correct? thank you.- pscience

Thank you for your time my friend. Do you think that water of any temperature is denser than ice? For example which is more denser? ice(0C) or water(20C)- pscience

ice float As per any density-Temp chart or graph I found online giving unique info and that is ice is denser than water at temperatures more than 9C. Please be specific about temperatures.- pscience
