alright, thanks a lot for the info and the link too of course. cheers.

similar to zeno's paradox?

mirrors absorb light? that's new to me. well then, is there any surface that totally reflects light?

not sure if this is posted, so imagine i have a 3- dimensional cube. let's say its about 10m x 10m x 10m in volume. this cube is empty on the inside but its inner surface is covered with mirrors. normal plane mirrors all around the walls, like tiles but instead mirrors. so what happens if i...

my teacher says too that y-axis force does not affect x axis, but, why is pushing something heavier than the other harder? i checked up that weight does in fact affect friction. why are they lying? lol

why must the potential need two points to be measured? a body can possesses a certain value of kinetic energy given any particular time in motion right? I don't understand about the infinity part. Sorry if I have a hard time understanding, I'm still in high school.

so again, if the electric potential at a SINGLE POINT is 9 J/C, its correct to say the voltage is 9V?

analogies gives u a better idea, but it does not fully describe the real situation right?

how can electron be a matter if its not a particle? it behaves like a wave right? how can something with mass just simply vanish and appear at another space. correct me if I'm wrong.

meanwhile, can a single coulomb of charge be extremely high in electrical energy ( potential given a single point ) while the velocity of it is low ( current? since current is charge per second, its sort of like speed?). is this possible? high voltage but low current. Its hard to imagine though...

i see, i used to think of electrons as sort of like a chain with beads but closely packed,so when one ''vibrates'', the others will obtain its energy and thus transfering it from one another. still, thanks a lot for the info, that helped alot.

classical physics is interesting to me too, but I wonder that if it can fully be used in real life applications, there is more that is happening then just classical physics.

haha, yeah its true, I see the term voltage everywhere when dealing with electricity, its kinda confusing though, but thanks to you guys I finally got it. btw, another side question, thought i would post here instead of starting a new thread. anyway, how does current actually flow? we say that...

alright, thanks alot. cheers.

so you are saying that if at a particular point, a charge has let's say again 6 Joules of electrical energy, then I can say that the potential at that particular point is 6volts? or should I say the voltage at that point is 6volts?
