When only force acting on body is a central force, angular momentum is constant and given by: L = mr^2 * w where r is distance from origin, and w is angular velocity. Angular momentum can also be written as following: L = r x mv = rmv * sin(theta) where v is tangential velocity, which is...

Many asteroids and planets have undergone enough heating so that they were at some point completely or partially melted. What physical mechanisms are in play here? I'm assuming a solar system such as our own. Thanks!

Here is the question (Qu 9): Here is what I have attempted: assumed that the accelerations are equal, found a value for the acceleration, thus worked out the time taken for A to reach the bottom. then assumed that the tension becomes 0 once A hits the floor, and then worked out B's new...

Good Morning May I ask about spatial collisions of bodies? In undergraduate dynamics, we study that when two particles college, we have two final unknowns: the final velocity of each particle. We first use the conservation of linear momentum. However, we supplement the analysis with the...

At a certain point during embryonic development (late blastula), one of the X chromosomes in the female condenses and become a Barr body. It's random if this X chromosome will be paternal or maternal, creating some cells with paternal X chromosome and some cells with maternal X chromosome. We...

The Setup is the cart-pulley-hanging mass or Atwood machine: if the cart is allowed to fall over the edge, and falls freely with the mass, will the rope tension remain the same as it was before the cart went over the edge? Is this situation the same as if the cart-rope-mass were held aloft by...

I have been searching for an answer to this for a really long time and I have not found any definitive answers as of yet. What I am trying to do is determine if and when two bodies collided between the times t0 and t1. Calculating this is much more straight forward if each body is only either...

Legit question. When we get a cut or scrap, blood comes out. In a few moments the blood dries and forms what looks like a layer of dried blood that gets a darker color. If that happens, why doesn't blood dry inside our bodies?

Energy is required to make a body fall towards its surface i.e. to produce acceleration. That means energy will be lost by the body causing it. Energy is equivalent of mass. Therefore a loss in energy would mean a loss in mass. Right? I most sincerely apologise of I am wasting your time by...

Hi to everyone There is a formula out there to calculate te distance between a mass that is in orbit arround anhoter fix mass? (And its deduction)

Is there a computer friendly list with the known bodies in the Solar System astroid belt, that contains their physical properties, position and velocities?

Why do bodies in free fall change position relative to each other? For instance in a vacuum with no external forces why can an apple fall towards the surface of the earth? If these objects aren't accelerating then are they considered at rest? And in what sense of the term 'rest'. I think I can...

Okay...I have a simple question that, if we apply a force to a wall, then according to F=ma, the wall should have some acceleration at all the points we are applying the force...My question is that since the wall does not move move back, does this acceleration only result in a slight deformation...

During a collision between a truck and a wall, an occupant of the truck is thrown forward because of inertia; he continues moving forward. Why does the occupant stop eventually? What is the resultant force that opposes his forward motion? Is this force the equal and opposite normal reaction...

Hello. I was thinking about gravity and how matter bends the ST (space time) creating gravity.which lead on to singularities. I wondered how much mass it would take to either make a hole in spacetime, or how much it would take to make a black hole. So I googled it. This is where my confusion...

Based on classical physics all things attract one another due to their own gravity pull, so theoretically the Earth is drawn closer to a tennis ball even if its impossible to detect. Knowing this and Einsteins theory of relativity of spacetime could I not assume then that every physical body...

I am trying to find an animation (from the internet) explaining the intricate balance of heavenly bodies (stars, planets, satellites, comets etc) in their own orbits. What happens if there is a sudden change in anyone of characteristics of those heavenly bodies. Is a small perturbation in...

Homework Statement Two bodies are standing still upon a surface without friction. The mass of body 1 is bigger than the mass of body 2. i) A constant force is applied to body 1, so it accelerates in a segment to a distance d. The force stops being applied to body 1, and is applied to body 2...

**This is more a general understanding question rather than a homework question** 1. Homework Statement So when you comb your hair trillions of electrons get transferred from your hair to your comb. So when trillions of electrons go missing how is your body able to maintain a neutral charge...

Hello Forum There are three different mechanisms to transfer thermal energy: conduction, convection and radiation. It is well known that when two objects having different temperatures T1 and T2 are in contact, they will eventually reach a common intermediate temperature (the weighted average...
