    Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container

    You know what. Never mind. When I try to solve problems anymore, I get an almost nauseated with trembling anxiety, hyperactivity... It's very off-putting emotional response. Strange, perhaps unbelievable...I know. So just forget I asked. I tried problem solving after a good break from this...

    Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container

    Well the liquid mass in the buggy must be accelerated from u to v inside the buggy? So it feels like an inelastic collision should be relevant like @PeroK mentioned, but when I try to apply the equations I'm getting some uglier...but not unsolvable ODE. Is what I'm doing the common mis...

    Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container

    I'm trying to work this out from a Fluid Mechanics perspective with the Momentum Equation and Mass Conservation: $$ \sum \boldsymbol{F} = \frac{ d}{dt} \int_{cv} \rho \boldsymbol{v} d V\llap{-} + \int_{cs} \boldsymbol{v}\rho ( \boldsymbol {V}\cdot d \boldsymbol{A} ) \tag{Momentum}$$ ##...

    ChatGPT Facilitating Insanity

    You are saying I'm an AI sycophant...meaning my proof is not sound and I'm being led? So did I, and I questioned the priest publicly... But I feel the route I took here has logical potential to "put it to bed". So in otherwards, most people believe in an eternal hell...

    ChatGPT Facilitating Insanity

    While we are on the is "ChatGPT driving people insane", is it placating me with a proof for the impossibility of a Christian heaven outside of a complete lack of consciousness (the void - absolute nothingness). Did I actually come up with something that has some avenues to pursue, or is there a...

    ChatGPT Facilitating Insanity

    I’m not so sure. I think they are on to something. Perhaps gen Z no longer wants to keep playing the game. What truly is the point? What is the purpose? This is my take on the human experience…I didn’t make the video…so before you say “I’m" strange… If the short isn't enough to get the idea...

    Heating pad element sizing

    Well one thing, decrease the volume of the box if that is possible? I can’t see why the bunnies need a 2m tall box. Minimizing the volume will elevate the steady state temperature inside the box when the heat source is applied.

    Heating pad element sizing

    I don't think anyone has asked about the material construction of this hut...is there some reason we don't have to characterize it to make an assessment? Is it almost fully enclosed, with just a small entryway; how thick are the walls etc...?

    How would you describe briefly your own mental modeling of chemistry?

    I think it needed to be taught with more weaving of demos in like this: Ours was lecture and 1 lab a week if I recall correctly, but there was a distinct lack of demos in the lab (none in the lecture). It was mostly "see if you can follow these steps" - the whole experience was very...

    How would you describe briefly your own mental modeling of chemistry?

    Chemistry as I took the required course ( just Chem 1 ) felt like organized chaos. "Here we are, but there is no clear record of where we've been, nor any logical indication of where we will go"...I felt like that at every section. Still have the textbook though.

    Problem with pulleys - two fixed and one movable

    I second @Steve4Physics suggestion. Try a simpler scenario like this first: Will blocks ##A,B## experience the same accelerations under the inextensible rope condition( in a dynamic system)?

    Suggestion Show pronouns of a person?

    I'm not rallying for any social justice cause when I say "they" instead of randomly assigning a "gender" to someone in here. My position is "I don't know and frankly I don't care"...it's irrelevant to the validity of what is being discussed in this place. Hate me if you must...

    Suggestion Show pronouns of a person?

    This is an internet science forum. We aren't working with each other in person where we have visual ques (maybe...) to what "gender identity" the others might wish to be . Using vague generalities "they/them" surrounding sexual/gender identity (or the profile name i.e. "@TensorCalculus ") when...

    B Simple mass/scale puzzle

    To me the misconception is a simple one rooted in common experience with weight measurement. We have a rope with two weights hanging off of it vs. one weight when we hypothetically tie it to the fixed structure to "explain it". To me it's natural to feel like we have halved the "force...

    B Conservation of Energy: Ball on a U-Shaped Ramp

    Yeah, when you introduce friction you add some more “internal energy tanks” for the system and its surroundings i.e. the mass in the ball can change temperature, or the mass in the space around the ball can change temp, sound, light, and maybe some exotic things I don’t think/know about. These...
