Thank you both! I'll look into those. This might be a bit tougher than I initially expected.

Hi. Let's say we have two separate systems (containing gases), each with their own temperature, pressure and volume. Then these systems are brought together, with no walls in between. Of course, one might consider they are now technically the same system, but the distribution of pressure and...

Hi. First of all, I should mention that I'm quite a novice in both physics and engineering. Let's consider an hourglass (or a silo) that is inclined at a constant angle. I'm unsure of how to calculate the necessary diameter of an orifice for a given mass or volume of granular matter to...

Antimatter is really not much different from "ordinary" matter in many senses, so it obeys the same laws of physics (such as inertia, as you mentioned). In fact, the only real difference between matter and antimatter is the charge. Electrons (particles that "orbit" the nucleus of ordinary...
