    Undergrad Orbital slingshot energy - energy from gravity?

    Thanks for the answer Filip! If i could suggest a second situation: large object A and Large object B are towed into intergalactic space A and B are brought close enough to each other for their gravitational fields to viably pull on the twin A and B are then brought to an absolute...

    Undergrad Orbital slingshot energy - energy from gravity?

    I am not a physicist, as will be indicated by what may turn out to be a ridiculous question, but this was something that popped into my head while day dreaming :shy: Star A Planet B Am I right in saying that if Planet B were to approach Star A at the correct angle, it could slingshot...

    Undergrad Neodymium ball magnet field alignment

    Hoping to learn the "why", only now getting into physics and there's still much to learn for me.

    Undergrad Neodymium ball magnet field alignment

    Any chance of some elaboration? (if that's possible) Sorry for being a pain!

    Undergrad Neodymium ball magnet field alignment

    How would said sphere react to a second, separate magnet?

    Undergrad Neodymium ball magnet field alignment

    Figured that would be the answer for the first approach, how about the second idea? how would the individual magnets interact with each other?

    Undergrad Neodymium ball magnet field alignment

    If a magnetised neodymium ball has a definite north and south point, could you slice the ball in two, and weld 2 "north" halves together, to create an entirely north ball? If this is impossible, how about designing a ball made in, say, a 3D printer, then embed it with small magnetised neodymium...
