AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a student's research into the dynamics of celestial bodies, specifically seeking additional resources beyond basic concepts like planetary motion and Kepler's laws. Suggestions include exploring Celestia for visual content and delving into Kepler's orbits, although some find the math challenging. There is a clarification about the solar system's orbit around the galaxy, with the sun completing a revolution every 225–250 million years. The importance of finding new and innovative angles for the research is emphasized, encouraging the student to generate keywords for inspiration. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for deeper insights into celestial dynamics.

Hello, I'm a student in Higher School Preparatory Classes, I'm doing a research on "the dynamics of celestial bodies".
I already included some notions of the motion of planets around the sun and the solar system around the center of the galaxy in my research, but it is not enough. I need resources on the web or some interesting points that I can add to my work because I need to include some "added value" to it and I'm really lost right now .
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello Aymen, :welcome:

You could include some stuff from Celestia . The images are really beautiful.

And the math can be found under Kepler Orbit but some of that is quite a tough read !

By the way, I'm not so certain about "the solar system moves around the center of the galaxy"...

Thank you. The problem is that we already studied Kepler's laws and celestial mechanics last year and I need something new in my research.
Isn't the sun orbiting the center of the galaxy? it completes one revolution every 225–250 million years.
Here's a link from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System#Galactic_context
 
Impressive ! Obviously you know more about this than I do. Hats off! (I didn't learn about Kepler until at university...:rolleyes: ).

Re the "something new" in your mission: you yourself are best qualified to give some examples; perhaps a few keywords can inspire others to get you going where none have before ...

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep looking.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
