So, I know that there is a Normal force exerted on the book by the table, and, according to Newton's Third Law, the book exerts a force onto the table. However, I have two questions: if I were to push down on the book, would that Normal force increase? What "creates" the Normal force? Is it the...

Homework Statement Newton's third law of motion is often summarised as 'Every action (force) has an equal and opposite reaction'. A book rests on a table. If the weight of the book is the 'action' force, what is the 'reaction' force? A the pull of the book on the Earth B the pull of...

Just did a repair, and upgrade on outlook to 2007. The problem now is that the contacts are there, but when I go to create a new mail item, and click the address book, nothing is showing. How do I get these to show as the address book? Thank you...

Hi, I am looking for a book that explains tensors and builds a working knowledge of tensors, like the book Linear Algebra by Friedberg Insel and Spence, which I thought explained things very well (if you haven't heard of it, its an intro. book on linear algebra). Thanks!

On page 25 of his book "Electrodynamics and classical theory of fields and particles" he presents this identity \sigma_\mu\sigma_\nu-\frac{i}{2}\epsilon_{\mu\nu\beta\alpha}\sigma^\beta\sigma^\alpha=\delta_{\mu\nu} where \sigma^\mu:(\mathbf{I},-\mathbf{\sigma}) and...

Do you guys know wether Leonard Susskind is going to release the next theoretical minimum book which is expected to be focused on special relativity and electrodynamics?

Guys,can you all suggest a nice and decent book on quantam physics for a 16 year old.I really am in need of it.I don't want any textbooks but a book like "the brief history of space time" but only focussing on quantam physics and mainly string theory would be absolutely great.thank you.
