My question is from a similar question that asks the final velocity of the ball after 2.5 seconds, and the book said that the initial velocity would be 0m/s while I and a few other students speculated that the extra velocity from the persons descent should be added to the final velocity. Now I...

Say a person was descending at constant rate of 1m/s while holding a ball. Then, without stopping, the person dropped the ball which assumed a free fall. Would the ball assume an initial velocity of 0m/s, or would it start at the one 1m/s that the person is traveling? If anyone can, please...

Yes there is a lot of empty space between atoms and I hope I'm not too late, but I have a video I'd think the students would like. It's a segment of Bill Nye The Science Guy that I think does a pretty good job at explaining this and atoms in general. It also touches on the concept of empty...

To jbriggs444 - Thank you for elaberating that to me, I understand what you're saying now. To mfb - Thank you for answering thatquestion To - 256bits - Thank you for providing us with reading material. (I mean that sincerely. :) )

This discussion is just magnificent, and I thank everyone who has contributed. I've never been on a more lively and supportive forum before, and this debate is just fascinating. And to try to get a better picture of what jbriggs444 is saying: He's saying that in order to measure the temperature...

I completely missed temperature a a variable, and so I thank all of you, and I'm glad this can generate some form of scientific discussion. I'd like to say that on the topic of temperature, the gas is compressed, and under pressure, so when the small balloon pops and the gas expands to fill...

Say that there's a large metal box with nothing but a vacuum inside of it, except for a small bag of compressed gas at the center. If the bag were to suddenly pop, is there a specific rate that this gas would accelerate when expanding to meet the space of the container? I think that it might...
