    High School Double slit experiment -WHAt is it it showing or proving

    Lol, yeah. The double slit experiment also proved the wave-particle duality of things at the very small scale, like electrons for example. You would imagine electrons to be "billiard balls", but hey, no, they are probability waves.

    Undergrad The sum of all energy in the universe

    "Negative energy" is speculated to exist, it is called exotic matter. (Look up Kip Thorne.) Hypothetically, exotic matter has negative energy and negative mass. Theoretically, for example, by shining a beam of this exotic matter onto a hot body, the hot body will lose energy and cool down...

    Undergrad The sum of all energy in the universe

    The sum of all the energy in the Universe should be zero, if the present laws of physics are right. HOWEVER, energy CAN be created out of nothing, via quantum fluctuations, because of the energy-time uncertainty principle. \Delta E \Delta t \approx \hbar The law of conservation of...

    Calculating Centre of Mass for 2D Car with Added Load: Homework Help

    Front wheels - A Rear wheels - B Centre of Gravity - X Load - Y Taking moments about A: Initially: F_B = \frac{45}{112} F_X Add the load: F_X = 2F_B + \frac{12}{7} F_Y F_X = \frac{45}{56} F_X + \frac{12}{7} F_Y F_Y = \frac{11}{96} F_X

    High School Time & Temperature: Any Connection?

    1. Entropy in thermodynamics is a function of heat (temperature). 2. Entropy defines the arrow of time. The second law of thermodynamics states that, as time progresses, the entropy of an isolated non-equilibrium system must either increase or remain the same. So if you look from this...

    Undergrad Finding coordinates of a point in a circle with angle

    Always a problem if you forget. When I get errors like that, the first thing I do is to check the mode on my calculator. Lol.
