I am assuming that the balls are rolling down the ruler at the same time and are in a single file line. In the above situtation what happens is as the balls roll down the slightly inclined ramp the approach the magnet. The closer the balls get to the magnet the stronger the polarization of...

The cross section of an electron with Ar if I remember correctly peaks at about 10 eV,... but back to your question... The easiest explanation would be: The wavelength of the electron depends on its velocity/energy. If an object is much smaller (the Ar) than the incoming wave (the e) then...

Microwaves use 2.5 GHz not because it is water's reasonant frequency, but because that was a convenient magnetron frequency to make back in the day. Since that point it has been convention that has held microwaves at 2.5 GHz, and I beilieve that is the frequency allocated to microwaves by the...

(1/2) (C) (V^2 )= Energy stored in a capacitor

I would guess that gravity plays only a small role in foam formation, because surface tension is far greater of a force in this situtation and the mass of the foam surfaces is small. I was surmise that gravity only has a settling effect.

deep IR wavelengths are more readily absorbed across a broad spectrum due to vibrational and rotational energy bands. The energy in a single photon is hv, but the total energy in light is hv*# of photons wxrocks: You said the atmosphere absorbs little radiation, and the Earth is heated by...

general relativity does teach us that the universe as a whole cannot spin. inertia is a function of the rest of the mass in the universe: "If, in a material spatial system, there are masses with different velocities, which can enter into mutual relations with one another, these masses...

I think that the fusor is an excellent choice for compact nuetron generation. It is simple and elegant

the force exchange from a magnetic field to something else is via photons,

tension on cable = mg*(cos(angle of cable with normal)) + m*(v^2)/(cable length) Force on mass= mg*(sin(angle of cable with normal)

A constant magnetic field can do no work on a charged particlee. HOWEVER, if the magnetic field changes one can do work on the charged particle,

Euler proved that the n body problem (n>2) is unsolvable analytically

'you might be speaking of a series of compunds called \"titanites\". These are ceramics with Titanium oxide in them along with other elements.\r\n\r\nSeveral of these titaniates have K values that exceed 1000!, however to my knowledge these compounds also have high dielectric memory and slow...

Mazda also has a series of patents on the latest improvements that deter competitors from gaining ground If you are interested look into some newer typers of engines being developed like the nutating engine and the quasi-turbine

The universe as a whole cannot spin, spinning involves frames of reference and reference is with respect to the total mass of the universe
