Thanks guys for the quick responses, I'm new to relativity and according to the internet the twin paradox highlights the fact that one of the twins would be older than the other, so I get the meaning of the paradox. My question is on the same sort of track but slightly different. I'm assuming...
If I syncronise my clock with a spaceship just before it goes flying off and wait a random period of time for it to fly past again so I can get a glimpse of its clock, according to relativity I'll notice that its time will be running slower, is that right? So for me on earth, it would have only...
I may be wrong but I also understand this phenomena as being an experimental verifcation of pauli's exclusion principle that no two electrons can be in the same state at the same time and so if electrons leave a wire, there are only positions left to fill those spaces and no more. What goes in...
I posted this same question on my university board and someone kindly posted back the answer below which is hugely informative. Is this completely right? It seems the most detailed description of a collision, conservation of momentum and kinetic energy I've seen.
Your problem should be...
I believe this is a good resource to help you

Have a look into redox reactions, the reactivity series and electronegativity and you'll have a deeper understanding of what's happening.

Hi everyone!
I recently read a problem in a university textbook that read about an inelastic collision. There are two pucks (hockey?) on the ice, one at rest. Both the same mass, one approaches the other at a velocity and when they collide they stick together and both move off with a velocity...
