By the way, this isn't homework related, this is for my own interests, if that is which makes a difference in inspiring a reply to the question begged.

Hi all. My physics teacher told me a while ago, that, under certain conditions a situation could be made in which kinetic friction is greater than static friction. He didn't know how this was done. Would anyone here be able to tell me how one would set this situation up and how he would measure...

no - that's either forced or the 2 tuning forks have the same natural frequency. But think about it, those idiots, that spend thousands on sound systems, aren't even benefitting from it - what kind of rice burner has ANY 4.5 meter span, let alone one, from the front of the sub-woofer. The car is...

hahaha, I will post that there. Here is the link, if you would like. None of them give me any respect there - I am a 18 year old, professional woodwind repair technician - they are all hobbyists. Denial, I think, or perhaps impotism? Not to mention, you can't even begin to expect them to be...

thankyou all - I tried explaining it to them that way, but thay have better sources...wikipedia - according to them...its a "resultant force" oh well, they will only look stupid for the rest of their lives.

I am having problems explaining the a certain group of inanic acquaintences that just can't understand that centrifugal force, is a fallacy. I have explained centripetal force and Newtons first law, but they still don't get it. could any of you help me here?

Ok, I am working on a paper...I never thought I would do academic work for fun, but here I am doing it. It won't be formal or properly organized or anything like that, but once I finish it, I will post it here.

Thanks, I have always had a quite strong physics mind, but recently I have found a certain interest in philosophy. 4 nights ago, I had an epiphany while arguing the philosophy of religion with my room mates on a band trip which I recently returned from. I combined Newtonian and quantum physics...

Quantum physics states that it is impossible to predict where a particle will be for any interval of time. Another discipline states that if it were possible to track and predict the movement of all of the particles in the universe, it would be possible to predict the future. It is...

could someone copy that paper and paste it onto this thread? I am very interested in this, bu I don't have sufficient software to view it.

Not only is it possible to build one, one has been built, used, but now it is retired. They called it the mir space station. Some russian spent a month I think it was on the station and went back in time a 50th of a second.

if that were practicable - how on Earth would you ever survive the first shot? I mean, once you shot once, the thing would be out of balance. I sucked a pebble about the size of 2 grains of rice once (judging from the hole in the seal around my air filter.) through the turbo of my truck which...

Because most of the antimatter is in between the places with concentrations of matter - the expanses between galaxies

The black PVC is considerably stronger, I can't remember what the real name of it is, but that is why I was planning on using it - I know that potato guns made of regular PVC can be used with hair spray regularly survive, but gasoline has a LOT more energy in it than alchohol does. I have...

For a physics project, I really want to do something with an explosion in it, but I can really only come up with one practicable idea - a potato gun. Practicable meaning, an idea that won't cost me much more than 2 hundred dollars in instruments and materials. I plan to find out how much energy...
