Click For Summary

A syphon breaker is a device designed to prevent the formation of a vacuum in plumbing systems, which can lead to siphoning and potential water damage. It works by allowing air to enter the system when the pressure drops, thus breaking the siphon effect. This mechanism is crucial in maintaining proper water flow and preventing backflow issues. Understanding its function is essential for effective plumbing design and maintenance. Implementing a syphon breaker can enhance system reliability and safety.

thanks !

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
