Hello all Never occurred to me until a friend made fun of me for not knowing how a TAP and a vacuum cleaner works. And even I was surprised! How can I not know!? Question 1. I know that turning on the tap means increasing the pressure so water flows out, and the more you turn, the more...

Hi, I'm not sure how to prove this http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5367/buoyancyq0wn.jpg I tried developing a bit but I'm stuck, can anyone point me in the right direction please thanks

I'm studying at Physics ,but I am interested in materials engineering,and I want to learn more about M.M.E.in the world. :confused: thanks, maria

I hope you guys still remember me. I do miss you, and of course I miss PF as well. :shy: Also want to say hi to those who don't know me. :smile: Just a brief introduction of myself. I'm a rather old member here but have left here for about a year, and now I'm back! Why have I left? A long...

Hello all, I'm new to this site and think it's a great idea to have a Physics site to help with, b/c we all know physics is the devil... (j/k) :) Anyway I have this problem which I think i figured out but want to be sure. Suppose a block of mass 25 kg rests on a horizontal surface...

This paper http://arxiv.org/astro-ph/0505397 reports the discovery of a HI cloud near the center of the Virgo cluster. According to the morphology and kinematics of a plume in a nearby galaxy (NGC 4388), it is assumed that tidal forces or the pressure of the ICM gas have stripped this HI gas...

hi, does anyone know the character table for the inversion group?

Hi everybody, what do you think will Mr. Bush next move is he going to attack Iran? I have heard some rumors that U.S.A. troops are trying to find a pretext, (justifications), in order to attack Iran, as they did for Iraq, will they? I think they are just mad about the petrol nothing else...

HI TO ALL, THIS IS SAIRA, I AM NEW HERE. I AM REALLY WORRIED AS I HAVE A PHYSICS ASSIGNMENT AND I AM REALLY STRUGGLING BECAUSE I MISSED ALOT OF LESSONS BECAUSE I WAS ILL. COULD SOME1 PLZ HELP ME WITH THESE PROBLEMS, I WILL BE EVER SO GRATEFUL! 1. A boy throws a stone from the edge of a...

A Fe (57) atom is in an excited state 14.4 keV above the ground state. The nucleus decays to the ground state with the emission of a gamm ray. What's the recoil speed of the nucleus? I'm not sure how to set this up. I thought a photon would have no mass, therefor no momentum. If so I...

Hello everyone ! I've just joined this forum.I am a university physics student.Just wanted to drop in and say a big HI ! to everyone !

Hi all, I am a nwebie for this forum... Let me start with some goqd sense! Try to answer this simple question without thinking much okay? A father and a son are traveling in a car unfortunately the met with an accident. Father died on that spot but the son was carried to the hospital...

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question... how do you compute 10E4.2 on the calculator? thanks in advance.. cseet

Hey, just joined the site, actually just found out about it! I'm glad I did, I haven't read about physics since college! I miss it, does that make me weird? Probably not here right? Anway, I fly EA-6B Prowlers for the Marine Corps as the ECMO(navigator and Electronic Countermeasures Officer)...

i wish i could find a solution for that poblem it is about inverse function: Show that the function has an inverse function, and find [(d/dx)f^-1(x))] x=a for the given number a f(x)=e^3x + 2e^x - 5 , x>=0 , a=-2 Here i proved that the function has an inverse by finding...

I have this assignment to do and I am stuck on finding the force of friction acting on a curling rock. The mass is 19Kg and the acceleration is -0.2m/s^2 I calculated the force applied using F = ma This gave me -3.8N I let negative rep force applied positive rep force of...

If False the same as Not true? Undoubtendly, this is a question in Quantum Mechanics which was why I put it up here and not a Philosophical Question though it may sound like one... Sridhar

Hello everyone, just wanted to stop by and say Hi. Seems like a very nice place here, did sign up a last year but account got deleted somehow so yeah... Anyway, chances are that I'll be starting thread asking for explinations on the many aspects of Physics that I do not understand. Been...

Hi, I'm in AP Calculus and I feel really stupid :( I feel really stupid because it's only the first week of school and I'm struggling with the review (I forgot a lot over the summer) I'm posed with these two problems (in addition to many other but I don't want to bore you all :))...

Hi, i just stumbled across this site while looking for a helium neon laser. Anyways, I'm not sure if this forum is the right place to introduce myself but ill give it a shot. Let's see, I'm most interested in sound, optics and high voltage toys, heh. Well I'm sure i'll be posting here with some...

I'm new to the forum here; so I might say hi here.. I have a great interest in Science; and am highly ambitious; althoug I am a bit indolent in body, seeing that I never exercise. ^^ May I ask this question; and could you all also give some essential information to a newbie on these forums...
