AI Thread Summary
When ice cubes are cracked in complete darkness, they emit a light green sparkle due to a phenomenon known as triboluminescence. This effect occurs when the breaking of the ice generates energy that excites the molecules, producing light. The discussion highlights the curiosity about this visual effect and the difficulty in finding information on it. A link to a resource on triboluminescence was provided for further reading. Understanding this phenomenon can enhance appreciation for the science behind everyday occurrences.

Really needed info. Saprkling Ice??


I have a question for you. Well can somebody tell me why when you crack de icebox in COMPLETE darkness so you can take de icecubes out of it, the ice cubes sparks?? the cubes when broken emit a light green sparkle, like a flash. Which is the name of that phenomena and how does it works??
Thnx for your replies and your time, I've been searching a lot, but I can't find anything because I don't know the name of that.
Until next time

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
