I am interested in finding how to calculate daily water loss for a heated water spa located in a temperature-controlled pool room. The water volume and surface area are constant. I want to determine the amount of daily water loss as spa water temperature, ambient air temperature, and relative...

Biodiversity is affected through a variety of means. Landscaping with non-native plants that adapt well to a new climate, for example, can allow the non-native plant to spread at the expense of native plants. Ranching has led to problems in places such as Death Valley, a fragile ecosystem where...
This is actually pretty embarrassing for me but a question just popped in my head today and in my three years of studying Engineering Physics nobody gave me the answer:
Why is it that heat effects are always considered as energy loss?
Really. I understand that's not really convenient if...
looks like a fun problem, just got to understand it:
A 500g block slides down a radial track with height of 1.0 m, it's radius is 1.0 m, with velocity of 4 m/s at the end of the track. what is the loss of the TME?
Disipation of energy problem:
TMEf - TMEo
F * D = K.E.f + P.E.f - (K.E.o...
What exactly does "without loss of generality" mean
What exactly does "without loss of generality" mean and how can you formally tell when you are justified in using it? I understand what it means and how to use it informally but is there formal justification for it?

I had a thought the other day that I would quite like feedback on:
Could the universes accelerating expansion be fuelled by the amount of mass in the universe decreasing? Is it possible that a black hole could become so massive that it tears away from/gets pinched off spacetime, how much mass...

Today I went to a tree planting in honor of these students, sponsored by all the other teams in the event. About 20 people from MSU came. A few of them will spend the night with me. The accident happened a few weeks back, there past the state of shock, and...
Hi. I'm trying to determine the flow rates of water in a pipe network. At a junction in a pipe, for example a simple y junction where the water heads out of a tap down a short length of tube before splitting into two lengths of tube of the same diameter, would the head loss equation for one of...

I don't know where to start, what formula am I supposed to use? I'm sure the second I find out its going to be soo easy, but any help would be apreciated.
Thanks...
ok consider the circuit. what is the power loss in the 20 ohm resistor in J/s?
ok so what i did was that... and i don't know where to go after... please help
could the lost energy from light cause the expansion of space?
i know we have no evidence that light can lose energy but over a long distance and i mean like a Mpc or more. TO me this almost seems like a chicken and and egg question.
I analyzed the chimney gas from a 70 kWboiler burning pellets. I found the temperature to be 140C, the CO2 value was 8%, and the room temp was 22C. Is it possible from this to calculate the boilers radiation loss? If not, what other information do I need? I used Siegert's formula to find the...
Hi,
I am trying to estimate the flow rate in a long pipe of rectangular cross section. The pipe is 100 m long and has twenty 180 degree turns. I have been able to calculate the pressure drip for a 100m straight pipe, but I have not been able to estimate the losses due to the turns. Is there...
I am just double checking an idea that I've always figured was true, but never really asked someone who knows about. In basically any machine that is not 100% efficient, the only "place" the lost energy (due to the inefficiency) can go is into its surroundings as heat energy, or radiation...
Suppose a man is losing heat at a rate of 300 W. His body temperature is 1.5 deg C below normal, and he begins to shiver. If his mass is 65 kg, how many hours will it take for his temperature to rise to normal?
Correct answer: 0.75 hrs

Apparently my lecturer has given me this type of quest and i really have no idea how to do this quest..anyone know the formula for conduction current..displacement current and loss tangent..please give me brief idea how to do it...what i know is that for displacement current i have to...
There will be no waves for the transerve wave any more after a period of time, why?
Disturbance is added, it starts to move. Where does the energy lose?
Why do the particles always try to archieve at their equilibrium level(position)?
Q. A disk of mass M1 = 350 g and radius R1 = 10 cm rotates about its symmetry axis at finitial = 198 rpm. A second disk of mass M2 = 198 g and radius R2 = 5 cm, initially not rotating, is dropped on top of the first. Frictional forces act to bring the two disks to a common rotational speed...
Hi everybody,
Does someone know if mass shrinks while it emits gravitation?
What I mean is either the gravitation field point of view:
Does mass need to continuously produce a field of gravitational force and by this lose energy?
Or the particle view:
If mass continuously emits...
I am beginner chem student and I am lost with mass loss. We did an experiment in lab where we are trying to identify a mystery metal. let me describe. We weighed our flask, then weighed our flask with about 1.5g of the mystery metal. Then we added 20ml of 6M HCl to a graduated cylinder and...

Hello,
Recently I received a sample Weight Loss pill from Advantage... Wondering if I can use them... They ddin't say teens can't use them... Just wondering if anyone know there are any side affects of using Weight Loss pills. I am currently about 150lbs... i am about 5'11''. (71 inches).

I am climbing 1600 flights of stairs . Total height climbed is 1000ft.

To lose the same amount of energy how long I have to walk on a flat surface at 5 Km per hour?
Thank you

The surface of Mars, the loss it’s of atmosphere and the fate of earth.
I think that what we would expect on Earth (the potential of the Earth's electro-magneto-dynamic) is not on Mars. We will not find a molten core, nor a strong atmosphere. The rotational speed of Mars is adequate but the...

I have a question I hope someone can help me with. Does light ever spontaneously lose energy? What I mean is, would, say, an infrared wave be traveling along and suddenly shift to microwave radiation, and maybe later to a radio wave, without any outside influences having affected it? If...
