    Golf club "Swing Weight" and club head rotation

    I don't really feel qualified to make recommendations As I said, I am not a pro. What would work for one person may not for another. A pro should be able to identify any areas of your swing that would help, before deciding that you need to try changes to your clubs. Pros also know how to...

    Golf club "Swing Weight" and club head rotation

    The standard answer is to see your local pro. I am not a pro so I can't offer advice. If, however, you are asking to explore the physics, again I am not a pro but I have given some thought to the problem. Hopefully I can help you gain some insight . First consider what happens when you swing...

    I Is this a paradox on the number line

    I have read, more than once, some about what Cantor had to say about infinite sets (obviously with limited understanding). I will repeat. Hopefully some of what has been said here will help me to take more of it in. Thanks to all.

    I Is this a paradox on the number line

    'Barely getting started' Poor choice of words. I think I do understand it the way you put it. I was referring to how far away from beginning I was. Infinity is open ended, (if I can call it that), but only at one extreme. The beginning of the portion of the number line to which I was referring...

    I Is this a paradox on the number line

    I've noticed that for every prime and every composite number on the number line that is not a perfect power, ( I am referring to positive whole numbers only), that there are infinitely many perfect powers (PPs) that can be generated using that number. This suggests that the PPs should swamp the...

    What is the best way for a new member to navigate physics forums?

    Hi, I was looking for a site where I could find out what people were talking about in physics so I googled physics forums ...really. After occasionally browsing for a number of months, I finally had to have a question answered so I registered and got started. I had been hesitant because I know...

    Mechanics of a Large Chest in Space

    Thanks. I won't post excuses but will attempt to clean it up in future. Thanks. Rather than post excuses, I'll try to keep it cleaner in future.

    Mechanics of a Large Chest in Space

    Thanks for the comments OldYat47. That the force remains constant was prefaced by Einstein in the quote at the top of the page. I was basing my conclusions only on the details given by Einstein. I should have indicated that one should consider a rock of sufficient mass, say maybe 20 to 25% of...

    Mechanics of a Large Chest in Space

    The above quote by plazprestige from Albert Einstein's Relativity continues; 'The observer will further convince himself that the acceleration of the body towards the floor of the chest is always of the same magnitude, whatever kind of body he may happen to use the experiment.' If the person...

    Mechanics of a Large Chest in Space

    I know it has been a long time since the last comment here. I recently read Relativity by Einstein. While reading about the chest I did notice a possible difference that should be noticed. It is the reason I searched out this thread. Could someone clear this up for me? The situation has a...
