Oddball Questions: Strength of Bonds in Atoms & Zero Gravity

AI Thread Summary
The strength of atomic bonds, such as those in hydrogen, varies significantly between Earth, space, and extreme environments like neutron stars or black holes. In space, the concept of "zero gravity" is misleading, as micro-gravities exist due to the influence of massive objects throughout the universe. The strong nuclear force that binds particles can be overcome by gravity near neutron stars and black holes, leading to the disintegration of atomic bonds. Additionally, while gravitational fields can affect distant stars, their impact is extremely minimal. Overall, both atomic bond strength and gravitational effects differ greatly depending on the environment.

1) Is the strength of bonds in a hydrogen atom (or any atom) the same on Earth versus the "zero gravity" of space, versus a nuetron star (or a black hole)?

2) Regarding "zero gravity", does it really exist in space? Or, is it varying amounts of micro-gravities relative to massive objects throughout the Universe?

Thanks for your help.

Answer to #2: No in reality, your gravitational field affects stars in the andromeda galaxy. But the effect, is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very veryvery very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very veryvery very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very small
 
:smile: Thats' kind of what I thought. Thanks.

This answer is also no, the force that bonds nucleic particles is the strong nuclear force. However, near the surface of a neutron star, or near the singularity of a black hole, this force is overcame by gravity, and even particles bonded by the strong force will be ripped apart.

In fact, MUCH less than that.
 
Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?
