What happens to the normal reaction of the force of gravity on a body orbiting around the Earth? The force of gravity provides the centripetal force, but does all of it get converted to centripetal force? Is there any kind of resultant force towards the centre of the Earth (due to the normal...

A curious question that's come to my mind, as I'm doing a little research for game development, aiming for realism here. Assume you have a human corpse, not doused in any special kind of fuel, but wearing cotton/polyester clothing. And you set it alight, to slowly burn over time. I've heard of...

Does the nature of radiation emitted by dense bodies like black holes differ in frequency from radiation emitted by regular stars like our Sun ? I believe that the former radiates more x-rays and high frequencies rather than the latter which radiates mainly uv, visible and infrared ranges. Is...

I am new to elastic theory. I have a question about elasticity. We assume we have a body with no internal forces. Surface forces are applied on the border. Can we leave the elastic domain (reach the yield surface) in an interior point without leaving the elastic domain on the boundary? If no...

Hi. Let's say we have a black hole of limited mass, say a few solar masses, and it encounters a much more massive object which is not collapsed into a black hole, say a very massive star, in principle it seems that some giant stars have been detected with masses over 100 solar masses. So let's...

Hello, It looks like Stefan Boltzmann Law can be used for a lot of different purposes: to calculate the temperature of stars, sun, temperature of the Earth's sky, temperature of particular surface, wall, the radiation emitted by the body by knowing its temperature, and so on. What confuses me...

Referring to slides 3-4 (page 2) of this link: https://www.princeton.edu/~stengel/MAE331Lecture9.pdf The author states the relationship between body rates [p q r] and Euler angle rates [φ_dot θ_dot ψ_dot]. I want to verify this but have been failing miserably... My reasoning: 1) p, q, and r...

In the above cases I want to find the acceleration a for m1. I can do it by considering m1 and m2 to be a system, which would give me a = F/(m1+m2). How can I use a free-body diagram instead to calculate the acceleration? Using a free-body diagram, m2 only affects the vertical motion by exerting...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site, and I'm looking for some help regarding a short story that I'm writing, specifically about the condition of bones (and the remains of a brain) that have been buried for about 5-7 months. I've seen a similar thread, but it didn't really answer my questions...

From the last few sentences of the below attached paragraph, when the inertia ellipsoid is prolate, the body cone rolls outside the space cone; when it is oblate, the body cone rolls inside the space cone. Whether the body cone rolls outside or inside the space cone should depend on whether the...

For the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis z the following holds. $$\vec{\tau_z}=\frac{d\vec{L_z}}{dt}= I_z \vec{\alpha} \tag{1}$$ Where \vec{\tau_z} is the component parallel to the axis z of a torque \vec{\tau} exerted in the body; \vec{L_z} is the component parallel to the rotation...

I'm studing Gauss law for gravitational field flux for a mass that has spherical symmetry. Maybe it is an obvious question but what are exactly the propreties of a spherical simmetric body? Firstly does this imply that the body in question must be a sphere? Secondly is it correct to...

http://phys.org/news/2016-04-metal-foam-obliterates-bullets.html The CMF armor on collision literally converts the projectile into small particles, spraying out. This is interesting and definitely not my area. Watch the attached video. Questions: 1. the particles resulting from the hit have...

Why is ##a_{ji}dG_j'=dG_i'## ? from the third last line below. ##G_i=a_{ji}G_j'## because a vector labelled by the space axes is related to the same vector labelled by the body axes via a rotation transformation. If ##a_{ji}dG_j'=dG_i'##, then we are saying a vector ##dG'## labelled by the...

Ham goes bad if you leave it there for a few days but why doesn't human body goes bad if you leave it there for a few days and when the person is alive?

Hello Forum, A black body is an object with emissivity=1 that absorbs as well as it emits. Does that mean that its temperature T stops rising after it reaches thermal equilibrium but it rises before then since absorption dominates over emission? What about a white body? That would be a perfect...

Asked in 2015 on "Quora," a PhD candidate answered that near-infared wavelengths can penetrate the body more that visible wavelengths, but only by a millimeter or two. She sums up her answer, "So the question: can NIR light penetrate the human body? The first millimeter, yes, through the chest...
