What does it mean that the relationship between mass and weight is constant and proportional?
I think I don't get it yet. The weight depends of mass, but at the same time depends of gravity, so if mass increase, the weight so does. But if we're on Earth we know that"g" has a value, therefore...
Assumptions:
1) The minimum stellar mass in this cluster is 0.1M⊙
2) The maximum stellar mass in this cluster is 150⊙
First calculate the local stellar density constant (ξ0) for this cluster using eq 1:
Having rearranged this equation and using the limits of the minimum and maximum stellar...
Let’s say we have a boat whose longitudinal axis is the y-axis (which goes into the screen in the figure below) standing upright in a still water .
##S## is the Center of Mass of the boat and ##C## is the Center of Mass of the displaced water.On ##S## lies the force ##\mathbf W##...
I'm specifically referring to these slides Supersymmetry - Holomorphy on pages 7 and 8.
Why is the mass of the superfield defined as \frac{\partial^2W}{\partial \Phi_H^2}
and why are the equations of motion \frac{\partial W}{\partial \Phi_H}= 0 and not \frac{\delta \mathcal{L}}{\delta \Phi_H}= 0?
I know that from the given problem, I need to find the expression for Kinetic energy,
KE = 1/2 m [r(dot)]^2
and Potential energy,
PE = 1/2 k r^2
So L = 1/2 m [r(dot)]^2 - 1/2 k r^2
Hence H = 1/2 m [r(dot)]^2 + 1/2 k r^2
I assume that the fixed length r0 is provided to find the value of end...
We know that the energy levels for electrons surrounding nucleus are quantized , only coming in discrete levels.
When I see the standard model of elementary particles table I notice specific masses for each of the particles whether they be quarks or leptons or bosons like the higgs.
I know that...
(I know how to solve the problem, that's not what I am looking for.)
I have a problem with how I ought to understand the moment of inertia. The only torque I see applicable on the wheel is that of the tension, and so I think that ##I## should be ##m_{\text{point}}R^2##, without including all the...
a) In the rough approximation that the density of the Earth is uniform throughout its interior, the gravitational field strength (force per unit mass) inside the Earth at a distance r from the center is gr/R, where R is the radius of the Earth. (In actual fact, the outer layers of rock have...
[Moderator's note: Spin off from previous thread due to topic change.]
Just as an aside and not related to the OP, would a real particle with negative mass inside the event horizon follow the runaway motion? Would it be ejected?
I know that if they had the same density they would have the center of mass at 1,5 m. But now that they don't the center of mass will be shifted towards the part of the rod with higher density. they will have their center of mass where they
have equal mass
p1*v=p2*v
now i don't know how to...
A mass (M) is attached to a spring (K). Mass moves in a one dimensional plane (horizontally)
1) If mass M is initially at x=0, what is the minimum Work required to bring it to x=x0 ? PE ?
2) M is released from x=x0, PE when x=xo/2 ? KE ?
3) PE when x=0 ? KE ?
4) PE when x=-x0/2 ? KE ?
5) What is...
Hey all,
I need a reality check and verification on some work I have been doing. I feel as though I might be too close to the problem now and am missing something about this. It's also been a few years since I studied physics at University, so I'm a little rusty.
Problem:
An initially...
I was talking to someone about the equilibrium of fluids and we reached at some stage where we had to prove that in an external field the translational forces add to zero along with moments (torques) should also add to zero. The first one was quite easy but during the discussion of second...
<work done a system>
a) w=5N*(0.4m)=2J
I think this is right, but
b) center of mass initial = ((0.5kg)(0.05m)+0.5kg(0.65m))/1kg = 0.35m
center of mass final = ((0.5kg)(0.45m)+0.5kg(0.4+0.1+0.3+0.25))/1kg = 0.75m
I'm not sure for this one... How can I calculate the displacement of the...
I'm finding it slightly tricky to just get a hold of where to start. I try $$\text{m}\text{s}^{-1} = \frac{c}{3\times 10^8}$$ If we then set ##c = 1##, that would seem to imply $$3\times 10^8 = \text{s}\text{m}^{-1}$$For ##G = 1##, I might also write $$\text{kg}\text{m}^{-3}\text{s}^{2} =...
Summary:: Specifically, how Earth and life on it would have evolved if our planet was twice as massive but with the same composition of building elements?

Hello All:

Can someone simply explain to me what are the time crystals? What are they built from (matter, do they have mass)? I cannot find a clear explanation of them. I just know that ordinary crystals are 3d, time crystals - 4d.
A particle of mass m is in the ground state on the infinite square well. Suddenly the well expends to twice it's original size (x going from 0 to a, to 0 to 2a) leaving the wave function monetarily undisturbed.
On answering, for ##\Psi_{n}## I got ##\Psi_{n}## = ##\sqrt{\frac{1}{a}}...
time/#periods=T= 30.58/10= 3.058
Displacement=.6m
T=3.058
I tried to rearrange hooke's formula to k=f/x but f=mg and I don't have mass.
Using the period formula is also hard because T=2π( √m/k) and I have neither m or k :/
Please help thanks.
Hi guys,
so I am struggling on the Standing Waves concept. I understand that these are waves that move in place but I don't know how to attempt this problem. Can someone set me on the right track?
Now, if I recall correctly, lighter objects with smaller inertia do go faster in terms of acceleration and farther than objects with heavier mass or inertia when the same force is exerted on them. But what about same accelerations? If a light object and a heavy object were to undergo the same...
I want to know between which two quantities of energy, momentum, and mass there is an uncertainty principle going on. Can I measure any two of those at the same time? If yes, which ones?
Thank you in advance
The term “negative mass” gets puts forth occasionally, and it’s definitions can sometimes be unclear.
the topic I’m interested in is particles which have both positive inertial mass and negative gravitational mass.
So far, what theories do physicists have of speculating on the existence of...
I had started off by equating the magnetic force to the centripetal force, to find the mass of a single ion. Then calculated the mass of what 1 mole of that ion would weigh to identify what the ion is
Hence the answer would be nitrogen (option C) as 1 mole of nitrogen weighs 14g
Would this...
A known force is doubling (egal) over a known distance, accelerating a mass.
How do I calculate the final velocity of the mass at the end of the known distance , when the mass has doubled? I don't know the time.
The mass is accelerated from 0 meter and from 0 velocity.
Sean Carroll gives the Planck's set of four dimensioned quantities: Planck's mass, length, time and energy. I wanted to compare them with actual things.\begin{align}
m_p=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar c}{G}}&=2.18\times{10}^{-8}\rm{kg}&\rm{{10}^{7}\ E. coli}\phantom {100000000000000000000}&\phantom...
Hello everyone!
Let's say that you were to attempt to go as fast as possible on a spaceship with the mass of an average car in an absolute perfect vacuum. What I am wondering is, that if you were to reach a certain speed, and stop applying energy to this imagined spaceship, would the spaceship...
Figure 4 shows three point masses glued to the vertices of a massless triangle of side L=2.0 m. Two of the massess are m=0.75kg and the other mass is twice that value, as shown in the figure. The device is allowed to rotate about point A in a verticle plane about the centre of the larger mass...
The answer is 127.04g. I’m getting close but can’t get the answer.
Using 9.81 for gravity, the force where the balance is is 2.10(58146)N
As it is balanced
2.10N x 0.29m = W x 0.50m where 0.50 is the centre of mass
That gives W = 1.22N
= 124.5g?
I have attempted to draw a sketch of this but can't see how the data they gave me help to find time period
This is what value I have ended up getting but I believe is wrong
Much appreciated for any help!
My query here is,
Suppose there is a 2 kg mass
To oscillate it/vibrate it, it will take some force and it will have some natural frequency
Now I increase the mass to 5 kg
so to vibrate it, won't it take more force and so at the end, won't the natural frequency of the object increase? as its more...
Hello, I made this account to ask this question that I’ve been loosing sleep over.
My question is say you have 2 identical motorcycles the engine the exact same and everything the only difference is the mass of the flywheel one bikes engine has a flywheel twice the mass as the other will the...
So there's something I'm missing when I think of Newton's 3rd law of motion.
If all forces between two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite direction, how is it that, for example, when I'm driving my car, the car "runs through" all the air molecules, and they seemingly don't exert the...
Hi,
Could you please help me with the queries below?
Question 1:
A GPS satellite is moving faster than the earth, for every day on Earth the clock on the satellite shows one day minus 7 microseconds due to time dilation due to special relativity. However, since the Earth's gravitational pull...
So, this may be a really stupid question, and I strongly feel as though I'm missing something here.
How can it be that objects of different masses have the exact same acceleration when mass is in fact resistance to acceleration?
And then, if in (a vaccum) I throw upwards M and m ( a bigger and a...
I solved a and b fine, I just don't know where to start c
a) i=Ft i=change in p and p=mv so i=90=45v so v=2m/s
b) same thing just using the other mass i=90=70v so v=1.3m/s
c) v=d/t so 1.3=d/1.5 but that would be d=1.95 and the answer key says d=.96m
I am working on simulating the movement of small spherical objects under the influence of drag and a number of other forces that, at least for now, don't depend on the object's velocity.
Normally I would sum up all these forces, including drag, to ##F_\Sigma## and update the object's speed...
I think since Esystem=(PsystemC)^2 + (Minvariant C^2)^2. Then the invariant mass of the system should be zero, but I am hesitated with this is it always the case that photon that travels perpendicular to each other have zero invariant mass
