Wonder chick have a question again today.
I heard from doucumentary that when object is spining, It's bit lighter than when it stop. My understand is because Weight distribute to orther vecter than going down to gravity.
So, Is it possible that object can spin fast enough to Its weight...
I've been asked to match some galois groups with structures like:

OK. But how do I find these isomorphism...

I understand that double glazing reduces heat loss by minimising conduction of heat from the interior pane to the exterior one. Air is a very bad conductor so the heat does not travel from 1 pane the other very easily. Is that correct? If so, why doesn't all the heat just build up in the space...
OK, so if I'm inputting 120V ac @ 1.5A equals 180W

am i doing this wrong or am i actually losing 116W of power?

If you raise the voltage you must raise either the current or the resistance since V = IR.
So how does a wire with higher voltage and lower current have less resistance?
It should have more resistance to make up for the lower current.
