    High School How do we use math to understand the world around us?

    Don't you think we can understand electricity without math? It's all ideas that helped us to develop AC current or DC current. We analyzed those currents and then later developed maths for it

    High School How do we use math to understand the world around us?

    I meant understanding of gravity, electricity, magnetism etc

    High School How do we use math to understand the world around us?

    "Do we need math to understand nature or Do we need to understand nature to (create) math?" This was the topic I've been debating with a guy for a long time. The whole point he says is that "we cannot UNDERSTAND nature without mathematics" How could that be? Isn't that in other way...

    Undergrad How to measure angular velocity and what is the unit of angular veloci

    But i can't say it was traveling at 0.9c in cirular motion. Circular motion is accelerative so i mean there has to be a way to tell it Like this 0.9crad/sec²?

    Undergrad How to measure angular velocity and what is the unit of angular veloci

    Let's say i spin an object around me with a greate velocity. At some point, i leave that object and it moves in a straight direction with a velocity of 0.9c. If so what was its velocity while it was revolving around me? How do i experes it?

    Graduate What is one way speed of light is about? Why is it said undefined?

    So the problem is that i already defined a distance for calculation?

    Graduate What is one way speed of light is about? Why is it said undefined?

    I've gone though a lot of google searches and couldn't find the reason why one way speed of light is undefined. All i know is that it is about synchronizing clocks. So i made my own thought experiment Imagine two clocks A & B. Both are not active I keep A with me and keep B at 1 light...

    Graduate How do maxwell's equations show that speed of light is constant

    Constant for all observers? I have heard that maxwell showed that the speed of light is constant for all observers even before Einstein did. Is that true? If not, then how can we say maxwells equation shows the speed of light is constant?

    Graduate Does born rigidity mean elongation of a body?

    Okay. I'm sorry about saying invalid assumptions Okay, we can consider both as diamond A diamond rivet of length 0.5m & a well of 1m as measured in their own frame From the rest frame of the rivet, the well is contracted to 0.5m at 0.866c. At the neck of the rivet, a 10cm long spring is...

    Graduate Does born rigidity mean elongation of a body?

    In bug rivet paradox, we assume a well of 1 metre long in it's own frame and a rivet of length 0.5m in its own frame Here, assume that the rivet is super strong to withstand compressions but the rivet would eaily broken if it elongates From the rest frame of the rivet, the well moving at 0.866c...

    Graduate Does born rigidity mean elongation of a body?

    Consider an unbreakable nail. A nail of length 10cm moving at 0.866c. If i stop the nail by hitting its cap, would the tip end countinues to travel?
