Let's say I have a ball 299792458m away and i want to apply a force to it. Evidently any information (for eg if i instantaneously increase my mass to increase the gravitational force) will travel at the speed of light and thus, the increase in gravitational force will only be felt by the ball 1...

Per Wikipedia (Outer Space) referencing Davies, P. C. W. (1977), "...the mean free path of a photon in intergalactic space is about 10E23 km, or 10 billion light years." Per Lawrence Krauss (1999), it is longer than the size of the visible universe. What is the current thinking about this?

Hello Everyone, Sunlight is composed of UV, visible and infrared (IR) over a wavelength range from ~290nm to ~2500nm. When we are exposed to sunlight and feel hot, is it because of the absorption of energy at the visible wavelengths and FIR, i.e . infrared wavelength much larger than 2500nm? I...

I'm creating an animation of free precession of a cuboid in GeoGebra. The axis of rotation is not one of the principal axes (but does go through center of mass). Since it's much easier to find the angular velocity and L in the body frame, I defined the e1, e2 and e3 axes (as opposed to the...

I explain it better. If we bring an electron from higher to lower energy level, the energy gap will be emitted as electromagnetic wave, because of the conservation of energy. When the same situation applies for a physical body, for example letting if falling down from some height, what does it...

Hello, If two bodies, who say start with ##T_{cold}=T_c## and ##T_{hot}=T_h## and then they are brought in contact with one another and then after some time they both have the same temperature. What would be the entropy of the entire system? Also another quick question, I've looked at some...

No I'm not a particularly big person with a weight issue. Somebody asked me this question and I don't know the answer, but somebody here will. OK, it's now accepted that dark matter is everywhere in the Universe, it tends to clump with regular matter because all matter is subject to gravity...

Hi! I'm trying to understand a perfectly black body. So the definition I have found is that a black body is one that absorbs radiation of ALL wavelengths and reflects NONE. Therefore it appears black at low temperatures. And when heated it emits radiation of all wavelengths making it appear...

Hello everyone. This is my first time on the physics forum, but I think I'm going to be a regular here. I was reading a paper that outlined various ways to approach solving dynamic problems. The first approach outlined by the author is D'Alembert's principle of virtual work. In describing...

I'm just trying to develop a general understanding of the 'twin paradox', so my description of this is will be a bit poor. I feel like I have a sound understanding so far on the topic, but the only thing that I can't seem to find an answer for is this scenario; Say you have the classic twin...

I was working at the observatory and uh someone came in with a question about landing in Jupiter- right away my brain was like no, it’s a gas giant and there’s too much pressure for a probe to make it to the solid surface, but I’ve also been trying to think of it in terms of the force applied by...

Hi I would like to know if there is any physical or medical scientific tests I can take to know/confirm my energy levels/body energy levels and will level when it comes to motivation. the reason for wanting to take these tests is that I have a severe mental brain neurological disability known...

Hello Everyone.. Consider a small moving mass following a spiral path away from center and the body is rotating about its center as well. At some time the body impacts with a relatively bigger mass and transfers some of its energy to it. If we want to make an equivalent system with only linear...

Hi folks, This week I have a question about rigid body dynamics analyses in CAE. This is in relation to the final year project of my degree. Over the past few months I've been working with AnSys 18.1 for FEA however, I've reserved AnSys exclusively for static analyses. For rigid body dynamics...

Hi, I would like to ask you what happens when you change (gradually) a mass of one body in a classical two-body-problem. May it lead to such results? Many thanks. Flor

Hello Forum, A quick discussion about blackbody theory. As a premise, this is what I know: A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all types of radiation incident on it, no matter its wavelength. Once absorbed, the energy is used to increase the blackbody's temperature and when the...

I have been trying to understand the role of a cavity as a black body radiator in the derivation of planks black body radiation law but it has left me with 5 main questions: 1. If an object is a perfect absorber it must also be a perfect emitter, meaning that (allowing for a cavity not being a...

Hi, I finished my first Bachelor in Physics, than continued my studies by finishing second bachelor in mechanical engineering. I am a very enthusiastic pilot, maybe that's the reason why I'm pulled towards fluid dynamics and soft body dynamics. Well my dilemma is the following: I don't know...

Say I wanted to set up EFE for the Earth and moon. How do I actually go about filling the stress energy tensor? I'm referencing the wikipedia page. So the time-time should be approximately E/c^2V, so for the Earth moon system ##T_{00} = \frac{3}{4\pi r_E^3}\frac{1}{c^2}(M_Ec^2 + 2/5...

Just to confirm a few points: A body frame rotates with a body. It need not be aligned to the rotation axis. Angular momentum vector always aligned with rotation axis (not deviates from it). An observer on the body surface (body frame) observes no motion on a body. Principal axis of rotation...
