Hi Guys I was wondering if the effects of G-Forces can be displaced?? e.g if a body or object is placed in water (more like encapsulated in water) & is then subjected to tremendous acceleration very quickly, would there still be a G-Force effect on the object inside the water?

Please help me with this. I am having a hard time understanding the role of displacement currents in a circus. The common knowledge is actual current is the movement of electron in a circus.

Homework Statement if displacement is the shortest distance between two point then that would also meant that it is equivalent to the hypotenuse when using phytogaras theorem right?. but why isn't displacement the shortest length between two point ?because Xinitial - Xfinal couldn't posibly be...

A common student misconception is that when a ball is thrown straight up in the air, at the point of maximum height, where the velocity is zero, the acceleration is also zero. This can easily be dispelled by observing that, if indeed the acceleration were zero when the velocity is zero, the...

Understanding waves typically don't displace atoms but momentarily and then they move back into place, my intuition tells me that if a pressure wave on a certain gas meets a slightly different gas but with a similar density, the different gas wouldn't move dramatically due to the pressure wave...

If a force acting on an object displaces the object, then why do we calculate the work done by all the forces acting on the body (those which did not cause the body to move as well as the force which caused the body to move) instead of the work done only by the force responsible for the...

I know two methods as to how to do this, but one of them doesn't seem to work. Say you're given x = 3t^2 + 6t - 4. If you treat x as an unknown variable and movie it over to the other side, you can use completing the square to solve for t. This eventually gets you: t = 1/3*sqrt(3(x+7)) - 1 Then...
