I Gravitational field modulation of a moving mass

AI Thread Summary
A moving mass generates a wavelength, leading to questions about the modulation of its gravitational field. When a mass oscillates, it emits gravitational waves, indicating a relationship between movement and gravitational field changes. If the mass moves uniformly over an infinite time, its wavelength becomes infinite, resulting in a frequency of zero. This phenomenon parallels electromagnetic waves, where direct current through a coil produces similar effects. The discussion highlights the intricate connection between mass movement and gravitational field modulation.

If a mass is moving it has a wavelength - my question is, is the gravitational field of the mass then modulated accordingly ?

If a mass is made to move backwards and forwards then it emits gravitational waves, yes.

And if the mass has been and will be moving uniformly for infinite time then the wavelength will be infinite and the frequency content of the wave will be zero. It's the same as for the EM wave when DC passes through a coil.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
