    Balloon Cold
AI Thread Summary
When a balloon is stretched quickly, it experiences a temperature drop due to the rapid expansion of the rubber, which absorbs heat from its surroundings. This phenomenon is related to the principles of thermodynamics, specifically the ideal gas law and the behavior of materials under stress. Some users noted that while stretching the balloon causes it to cool, releasing it can generate heat. Richard Feynman discusses similar concepts in his educational content. Understanding these temperature changes in materials can deepen insights into physical properties and energy transfer.

I've observed it gets hot. When the rubber is released, it gets cold.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Free fall of person in a sled to direct horizontal motion by atmospheric resistance'

Let there be a person in a not yet optimally designed sled at h meters in height. Let this sled free fall but user can steer by tilting their body weight in the sled or by optimal sled shape design point it in some horizontal direction where it is wanted to go - in any horizontal direction but once picked fixed. How to calculate horizontal distance d achievable as function of height h. Thus what is f(h) = d. Put another way, imagine a helicopter rises to a height h, but then shuts off all...
