AI Thread Summary
The settling velocity, or terminal velocity, occurs when the drag force equals gravitational force. In a rotating field, this terminal settling velocity is decreased compared to a non-rotating scenario. Participants are encouraged to share their research findings and any calculations they have attempted. The discussion emphasizes the need for collaboration and sharing of knowledge to derive the expression for terminal velocity in a rotating field. Engaging with existing resources and community input is crucial for understanding this concept.

TL;DR Summary
Hi there, The settling velocity is terminal velocity at which drag force is equal to the gravity. When the sphere is in rotating field the terminal settling velocity is reduced. What will be the expression for it in rotating field?

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
