Yeah, so in that case the units would represent the saturation concentration... But saturation concentration would be achieved eventually regardless of liquid, would it not? How does this concentration tell me how fast a liquid will evaporate?

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how volatility is measured. I understand the units of volatility are mg/m3, but I don't know how a measurement of concentration relates to how volatile a liquid is. Wouldn't the vapour concentration of the liquid depend on the amount of time that it was...

Ahh, yeah. That's what I meant. Falling onto =>Falling towards with a force of F=mag which accelerates it to a certain velocity prior to colliding with B.

Let me rewrite this now that I'm not doing 3 things at once and able to think about this with minimal distractions: I know that A will be falling with a force of Fa=mag onto object B, which can only support a force of, say, Fs. The length of time object A is under this acceleration will allow...

The only way I can reconcile this in my head is if I take compressibility into account. That allows for object B to accelerate and object A to decelerate until a common speed is achieved and gravity accelerates the combined object.

If object A is on object B, the it is applying the force MaG onto it, no?

Hello, I've been trying to figure out the physica behind a collision of two objects due to the force of gravity. Here's the situation as I'm picturing it: A massive object A is falling due to gravity which impacts a stationary object B being held up by a structure. In this particular case...

Homework Statement Assume that the proton magnetic moment is to be interpreted as due to the rotational motion of a positive spherical uniform charge distribution of radius R spinning about its axis with angular speed w. Using classical relationship between the angular momentum and rotational...

Homework Statement 1-Calculate the energy (1/2 mv^2) for each of the following: a) a nova outburst that accelerate a mass of 1E-5 M_sun to a velocity of 1000 km/s Homework Equations 1/2 mv^2 The Attempt at a Solution Now, here's what I am unsure of. Do I just take the kinetic...

So it increases mass how though? WHat is the form of this mass? The electron-positron pair? How does this hapen? Where does the electron and positron come from?

According to the theory of relativity, in the case of two particles of mass m and kinetic energy k colliding, the mass of the two particles together after the collision is greater than the sum of the two particles. It is claimed that thus the kinetic energy is converted to mass. How is this so...

Ok, I guess I'm just not yet at the level to deal with acceleration.

Why does a photon not have an inertial rest frame?

ahh, yes, sorry, it is 1/0 in that case. So in that case the length would be infinite and it would never tick...? What is SR? Special relativity I take it? Why does it matter that a photon does not have its own rest frame?

Ok, so if I decided to fly circles around him at 0.9c, given that the radius of my circle was small enough, I could observe him aging more slowely, correct?
