Does it mean that as you increase the energy of a particle, its mass will increase? Or, that for any given particle there is a certain container of certain mass/energy and part of that quantity is allocated to energy and the other to mass. In the latter case, could you not make a transistor out...

Hi to all, I'm in this problem: I've got to prepare a solution of Ca(OH)2 with pH=13.2 . On Perry I read that the solubility value of Ca(OH)2 at T=25°C is 1.65 g/L, so a solution with water and Calcium Hydroxide cannot reach pH=13.2. So I was suggested to prepare the mixture in the following...

if a rocketship in space is approaching the speed of light and its relative mass is increasing then i assume the fuel mass is increasing which would make it more potent the closer the ship gets to the speed of light which would give it infinite force when the ship reaches the speed of light...

I read in Dr. Ivy's book* that testosterone blocks the effects of cortisol and causes cortisol levels to rise in response to this cortisol resistance but has a net pro-anabolic effect (I guess in part because it blocks cortisol's catabolic effects and the body will not totally normalize the...

There are rumors circulating recently on various forums on the internet that a net made of coiled up silver wires increases the efficiency of a gas range when placed on top of the gas burner while fuel is being burned. According to what manufacturers claim, this is done by using the reaction of...

I thought heat increased reaction rates, meaning that when something is at equilibrium, it should increase both the forward and reverse reaction rates... Is this wrong? Then why does Le Chatelier's principle predict that a temperature increase favors the endothermic direction?

Hi, I have a fundamental question Density is mass divided by volume. As you heat something up the volume increases so the density decreases. Ok, but can anyone explain with a physical(intuitive) example: that is why is it that when you heat up something volume increases??Any intuitive...

Homework Statement what is the increase in kinetic energy of the particle after being accelerated by a potential V/2? The Attempt at a Solution The textbook says it is q*V/2 but I just wondered why this is the case

Wow, a single 50% bump for the same service! If they plan to shift to a purely online format and to phase out the DVD rentals, I can live with the transition. But if they play games with online availability to force DVD rentals, I may be forced to start Redboxing it. I don't care about the money...

I was running some structural relaxations under constant pressure, and found out that my system has compressibility which increases when pressure is applied. Of course, this is only up to a point, since at pressure high enough, phase transition will occur and compressibility will drop sharply...

I have been thing about this, seems logical in a way, most reactions increase with concentration surface area, temperature and catalysts. Some of the factors are listed here:- http://library.thinkquest.org/12497/factors.htm They seem pretty similar to the one I put in the answers to my...

I thought capacitance was a function of geometry. So how come when we put in a dielectric in between a parallel plate capacitor it increases the capacitance. Is this because we can increase the E field in between without worrying about dielectric breakdown. Or does it have something to do with...

why doesn't capacitance decrease with increase in temperature?? It is known that conductivity increases with temperature.This is because heat provides kinetic energy to the electrons in a substance,thus increasing the rate of "flow" of electrons.Considering this,the electrons in a dielectric in...

I tutor at the science department's drop-in tutoring center at my university, and my supervisor seems worried about how students are learning things today. She says that she has noticed an increase in the number of students that don't really learn any material. They simply cram everything into...

I understand that the electrostatic field around a charged particle contributes to its mass. It is as though there is a cloud of mass/energy centred on the charged particle that travels with it contributing to its inertia. I have found that the mass/energy of this cloud can be enhanced by...

Hey guys and girls The first thing I should probably ask is why do fuels (Hydrocarbons) spontaneously ignite when they are compressed, this seems rather strange to my brain in fact it makes my brain feel like it's having a meltdown (if you have ever had that feeling). The whole idea confuses...

I'm a bit confused. Relativity states that we should observe a shortening of say a spaceship when it moves close to (c) correct? But isn't one of the reasons we can't accelerate mass to (c) because rather than reaching any higher speeds when getting close to (c) it would just increase in...

I understand that GR predicts that as an object's speed increases, so does it's mass. I wanted to know if there have been any observations that confirm this, by calculating the gravitational attraction of an object at varying speeds.

Can heat supplied to a body increase its entropy without even changing its temperature? I recall that increase in randomness is accompanied by a change in temperature.
