2. ### I Horizon Problem

It says that since there is homogeneity in the Universe's temperature, all these points must have come from one source (or a source close to each other?) at a certain time. Then it also calculates the number of these sources and it's ~105. But isn't that very dense mass right before the Big...
3. ### Three masses, a string and pulley and a table -- solve for the acceleration

Let T be the tension in the string, a be the acceleration of mass 2m, 2a be the acceleration of mass m T = (m) (2a) ---eq(1) The mass 3m will come down with acceleration a’ = (a+2a)/2 = 3a/2 3mg - 2T = 3m . 3a/2 from equation 1 3mg - 2(2ma) = 3m . 3a/2 thus a = 6/17g thus acceleration of 3m...
4. ### Which answer is correct? Grocery Bag Net Force Question

Today, my class had a dispute between who was right. Two answer keys for this problem was provided, so nobody knows the exact answer to this problem. Half of my class said 100 N while the others said 298 N or something. We won't talk about how I wasn't listening to that because I was trying to...

28. ### B Implications of e^i*pi = -1

Before I start, there are only really two pieces of information this concerns and that is the idea that 1x = 1 and that ei*π = -1 So it would follow that (ei*π)i = -1i And so that would mean that i2i = e-π which doesn't seem to be right at all. Where is the issue here as there must be one but I...
