    Graduate Can You Tell Difference in Wheels Spinning/Not in a Box?

    i don't think that's correct aleph. gyroscopic force is applied when a spinning wheel's axis changes angle, in the direction resisting the applied force. i believe that if you have two wheels spinnng at angular velocities v and -v, they will apply the same gyroscopic force as each other...

    Undergrad Altitude's effect on pitch of human voice

    Altitude can do several things to the human respiratory system that can change how one talks. So yes, atmospheric pressure can change the way you sound.

    Does a Spinning Bicycle Wheel Conserve Kinetic Energy and Momentum?

    1) yes, the wheel has kinetic energy 2) the entirety of the wheel has no net momentum. However, its parts all have angular momentum.

    Undergrad Why the magnetic field of the electrons is circular instead of triangular?

    I'm not sure exactly where this discussion stands right now, but I'm going to take a shot at answering his question. Scientest91, the magnetic fields surrounding electrons that you see in pictures is called a contour map. You may have seen contour maps when with topography. If you don't...

    Undergrad Temperature effect on magnetism.

    I believe that the magnetic permissibility of steel (or any other compound) is constant. Also, I do not believe that magnetic permeability has anything to do with magnetization temperature (ie your 750 deg C example). Neither curie's law, or the equations for curie's constant include...
