hello, everybody.
I have a question about relative motion. I don't know how to determine whether it is sum of vectors or difference of vectors.
Vab=Va-Vb
Could you explain to me? When should use the sum of vectors and when should use the difference of vectors?

Yes, it is the formation of mirage. This happens due to the refraction of light from the space. Since there is temperature difference in various layers of the air ( that means the upper the sky, the lower the temperature, hence the density is higher.It is the same for the lower layer of air in...
The acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero when the weight of Block 1 is equals to the tension of string. Then, there is no net force acting on Block 1, hence Block 2, the velocity is uniform or equals to zero.
Please consider the following equation:
mass of water * c of water * change of temperature of water = mass of water * c of water * change of temperature of water + mass of ice * specific latent heat of fusion
You can also demonstrate convection by this simple experiment I suggest here. Firstly, get a beaker with medium size. Then, separate the beaker into halves by a white paper/cardboard, but leaving some space at the bottom of beaker to allow the flow of air. Thirdly, put a light candle at one side...
temujin,
Tuaregs wear dark blue clothes aim at reducing the effect of UV radiation from the Sun. Also, they always have a cloth around their mouth and nose to keep a moist flow of air as they breathe. I think it is this piece of cloth that keeps the water balance and heat away.
True, the space is expanding.Yet, I believe our REAL TIME doesn't speed up with that but VIRTUAL TIME ( this theory hasn't be proved yet but is an imagination time ). It is claimed that the farther the object in the space from the Earth, the faster it is going away from the Earth. That means...
When I think deeper into the matter, isn't it because of the heat produced by friction that melts the ice? Then the liquid (water) acts as a lubricant to reduce friction.
Today, I read a book which is written by Stephen Hawking. I have something don't understand.
We all know that REAL TIME must go from the past to the future,but how about VIRTUAL TIME? The book says that Virtual Time can be increased or decreased in a three dimensional space. I wonder why...
I want to know why we can easily slide on ice when we wear skating shoes. Originally, I guess it is due to the friction between the metal and the ice. But I think it is not the correct answer. Could anyone help me with this problem.
Thanks a lot,
Sarah :smile:
