Balance Definition and 461 Threads

ive been wondering... why is it so much easier to maintain our balance when the bike is moving? is it something of centripital (sp?) force, just like when you sit on a spinable chair and spin a bike wheel and it turns you in circles. (does the force of the spinning force you downward?)

I am calling "lamb balance" to the conjecture of recoil-lamb corrections to the energy levels between two particles of different mass M, m, when the small particle m has an additional coupling to a boson field of mass M' near to M. The link between M and m can be any coulombian or Yukawian...

when you close those sliding doors really hard the door will eventually bounce back out about half way where you have pushed the door. is it because every force has an opposite side of force ? for example when we put the book on the table, the gravity force is pulling the book down but the...

This is a problem from my abstract algebra book written by Ted Shifrin: A druggist has the five weights of 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81 ounces, and a two-pan balance. Show that he can weigh any integral amount up to and including 121 ounces. How can you generalize this result? While I see how it's...

Does anyone know what the equation would be for the angle (from horizontal) of a simple two pan balance with unequal weights? This would be the simplest type of balance - no damping mechanism, etc. I have looked in many places, but I can't seem to find a specific equation for this angle for...

I'm having trouble balancing this equation. I'm positive I've written the forumla out correctly. Maybe there is a typo somewhere... The question is: magnesium hydroxide(aq) + ammonium phosphate(aq) --> magnesium phosphate(c) + ammonia(g) + water(l) This is the forumla I wrote out as...

Here's the situation proposed in a problem. I have a balance bar that is a meter stick. It has a fulcrum at 50cms. Mass A(100gms[.98nt]) is at 12.3cms and mass B(1.02nt) is located at 86.1cms. Mass B has been removed and the fulcrum C shifts fo the left by 14cms. I need to determine the mass...

Hello, I have encountered a question in my discrete mathematics class and I was wondering if I have solved it correctly. I can't remember the question to the word but I will try my best to state it correctly You have 15 coins. One is counterfeit. You also have a three pan balance (like a...

Please help me w/ the 2 redox equations. Show me how to assign the oxidation # and how to do it please, especially the 1st problem. The problems are attached. Thank you very much for ur time.

Is there a statistically identifiable "happy medium" between inbreeding (incestuous mating, say) and outbreeding (interspecies mating, say)? Nazis seemed to promote inbreeding, whereas sodomists might seek outbreeding. The happy medium, for instance, might be mating one's third cousin twice...
