    We never really touch anything?

    I've been reading this thread and i just thought of something. If all atoms repel each other, then what keeps objects together? I know it doesn't happen but i would think that everything would fall apart into a "soup" of atoms. I bet there is a really simple answer to this but then again I'm...

    What are the types of waves that can travel through space?

    I don't know if they correlate to waves in space because I don't really understand big words such as correlate (Only 13) but for the second question there are electromagnetic waves. Unless that is what you meant by light waves. If not then you should know that light is an electromagnetic wave...

    Static Friction: Energy Conservation Explained

    Thanks Cyrus. I understand now i think. Glad I'm not the only one confizzled with Maverick's comment. :) To Maverick, what I meant in my earlier comment was that wouldn't it be kinetic friction if it was moving? In fact you said I would "leak" KINETIC friction. Am i actually correcting...

    Static Friction: Energy Conservation Explained

    I thought that static friction was something like me trying to push let's say a building but it doesn't move because of friction. My question would be where does the energy go? Into pushing the ground you brace your feet on? (Edit) So if its not moving how can it be sliding over anything?

    Static Friction: Energy Conservation Explained

    Ok so this is only my second thread (and post) on this site. My question is that if you push something that doesn't deform very much (like wood) or move because of static friction how is energy conserved. Only going to be in 8th grade so try to keep it simple please. :rofl: <-- just cause...

    Spaceship hit the ground with a velocity of 100 m/s

    Ok so I'm in 7th grade and I think I'm pretty good in science class. The other day we had some math questions involving some equations. One question was something like a spaceship hit the ground with a velocity of 100 m/s and then it asked like what was its mass. This question also included...
