Hey Everyone, Today I subbed for a very clever group of Physics I students at Anderson High School, 3rd Period, Mr. Holman (April 3rd, 2009), Austin TX. We did the standard Paper Towers project with the following rules: a) 1 sheet of regular Letter sized copy paper / printer paper --...

1. The radius of the roll of paper is 7.9cm and its moment of inertia is I= 3.1×10−3 kg m^2 . A force of 2.3 N is exerted on the end of the roll for 1.3 s, but the paper does not tear so it begins to unroll. A constant friction torque of 0.13 mN is exerted on the roll which gradually brings it...

The poll is set up to accept multiple choices. Check off the paper or papers you predict will have the most significant impact on future QG research. If you have one that is not on the list, post the arxiv link, title and author(s) on this thread, to be counted as a "write-in". 1. Loop quantum...

I have a paper due on Deregulation in Airlines but I can find nothing if anyone has a website that will help me please write it's urgent:confused:

I found this on the web, it was written by someone without formal physics education but I was wondering what some educated users here with a background in physics think about it. My problem with it is that he claims time doesn't exist in any perspective only this physical continuity but how can...

We are trying to build a bridge made from paper, water based glue and cotton strings. The bridge must be able to hold 5kg; however, we would like it to hold more weight. The weight of the bridge should also be taken into consideration. So we came up with numerous designs and we finally...

"We thank J. Distler and R. Percacci for animated discussions which triggered this investigation. Furthermore, we are grateful to J.P. Blaizot, A. Codello, R. Loll, E. Manrique, and M. Reuter for useful conversations..." It's interesting to contemplate the different ways that progress in...

hi i have a lab due and i can't figure this out. we have to find the mass of a paper clip using the net torque equations. we have 3 clamps attached to the fulcrum stand so we have to incorporate the force of gravity on them too. to make the stand level the paper clip attached to a clamp is at 50...

I got good news..sorta... My paper got rejected by the editors from a journal because it was 'too complex' 'too forbidding' for its audience. That's good news because at least I know the caliber of my work isn't 'basic'. I was concerned that my works was based too much off calculus concepts...

Rightly or wrongly, there's considerable excitement about a paper which a postdoc theorist at CERN, Bob McElrath, recently posted. One physics blogger headlined his comment "Dark matter is a quantum liquid." The headline may itself be a misinterpretation of what McElrath is saying but I couldn't...

Assuming that I understood correctly one claim from the Riemann's On the Number of Prime Numbers less than a Given Quantity, then if we define a function \psi:]0,\infty[\to\mathbb{R},\quad \psi(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} e^{-n^2\pi x}, it satisfies an equation 2\psi(x) + 1 =...

Einstein's "The Field Equations of Gravitation" Paper I'm trying to find a translated copy of this paper - but i can't find one anywhere! The 1905 papers are all over the place; i thought the this would be similar. Does anyone have a copy, or recommendations on where to look? Thanks...

Jus some confusion over plotting points on normal probability paper.. 1. Order the data 2. Do we do (i-0.5)/n where i=no. of observation and n= no. of samples? believe can't use Z(i)= (X(i)- Mean)/ stand. dev. as i need to find both mean and std. dev from the graph... What is the graph...

This is just a little observation , if you could confirm, or explain a theory behind it => if we start with one dimention we have one line to get to 2D we draw the shape (here a line) somewhere else, and draw lines that connect them (here 2) then to get to the third, we again draw the...

I get the impression that people who review research papers want to see recent papers listed in the bibliography. To me, this implies that I would have to list papers that are not neither the biggest landmarks nor the most relevant. When I do research, it's mostly my own thing. It's...
