I think some people are taking the word illusion to literally. . i think it was stated more as a figure of speech. Ask you muslim friend this, if he believes there must be 'something much greater that put it all together' i.e. a creator, then who created the creator? If he says nothing or noone...

yeh but if you read all i put, i have asked if the question is worth thinking about, that doesn't mean i don't think about it. As i have already said i struggle to see the point in doing so, but that doesn't mean it doesn't cross my mind. Stop trying to be a smart arse and actually contribute to...

And why would that be?

What is a negaitve impulse then, what does the - 0.216 mean? why is the answer negative (ingorning the fact it asks for magnitude)?

Theres so many questions, why are we here, what's our purpose etc... Why does there have to be an answer, can't we just accept what is, and live life in ignorance? I'm sure many will argue that tryign to find the answer to the ultimate question is our purpose in life, but if there is no...

O so the maths is right. Ok it makes sense now, cheers!

I have read quite a few sources about the differences between them but i'm, still in a dilema. Which subject is more related to house building and structure, i know civil engineer goes way beyond houses, to huge structures etc. But can one still do a degree in architecture and be licensed to...

Homework Statement Two particles have mass 0.12kg and 0.08kg respectively. They are intially at rest on a smooth horizontal table. Particle A is then given an impulse in the direction AB so that it moves with speed 3m/s directly towards B. Immediately after the particles collide the speed...

O wait it can't be as simple as that the total reaction force must equal the total downard force, so as A and B are the same its just 90g+60g?

The total reaction force must equal the total downard force, i.e. 60g +90g for the woman and plank, even so i don't see how this can help me with the problem of not knowing the distance of the 90g when taking moments at A?

Homework Statement A non-uniform plank of wood AB has length 6m and mass 90kg. The plank is smoothly supported at its two ends A and B, with A and B at the same horizontal level. A woman of mass 60kg stands on the plank at the point C, where AC=2m. The plank is in equilibrium and the...

I've only just started reading on this topic at a very basic level, i just have a few questions which I am uncertain about. If one is to travel at 99.99% the speed of light in a rocket car on earth, a day for the person traveling at this speed would seem to be a week for everybody else on...

I'm currently a GCSE candidate but i am reading books on quantum physics as i intend on studying it for A level. I'm slightly confused on Plancks constant. I don't understand where the value of 6.63*10^-34 comes from, and i don't understand what it represents, if that actually makes sense. I...

Ok, thanks, i do respect the rules and i think i now understand how to answer properly, thanks for the advice . . .
