No i posted it in the General Discussion area and if youve looked there its all random stuff

haha i see , , , , , , , , but i guess you already know that?

hmm no replies i wonder why?

If you went back in time and brought with you modern day devices, could you teach the people of that day (to a certain extent) how to create and use these devices? What impact would this have the modern day? Would we be more evolved?

Here i will state the question directly: Assume the egg is not encased in an egg holder:(Note the time taken by the egg to hit the ground is 0.1s and the height of the balcony is 4m.) a). calculate the speed with which the egg, when dropped from the first floor balcony will hit the ground.(Use...

Everyone knows that an egg would not really take 0.1 seconds to fall four meters. This question has been just simply used to test my knowledge about Newtons laws, force, velocity.(which isn't very much).

thanks for the tips but i haven't learned anything about that so far on kinematics equations ect.

Thank you but I believe I needed to use Newtons laws for the first question and I'm not sure that I did.

Don't Formula One cars use this?... I don't know the physics behind it.

What a statement.

Homework Statement (A) An egg (57g) is dropped from a balcony 4m high,calculate the speed with which the egg, when dropped from the first floor balcony will hit the ground. ( use Newtons laws). ( note the time taken for the egg to hit the ground is 0.1s) (B) What force from the ground will be...

Thanks guys i really needed that

I'm doing a physics assignment on safety devices such as helmets and i need help with a question. Why is the Impact force reduced for a helmet with a soft interior VS a hard interior? I know it is because the soft padding on the inside of soft the helmet will reduce the time taken for your...

1. Why is the force reduced for a helmet with a soft interior VS Hard interior? 2. What points would need to be considered during design and construction to ensure that the impact on the body is decreased? What criteria must be met? 3. Why should a helmet be replaced every 5 years...
