Objects fall on Earth at 9.8 m/sec² independent of mass. If gravity is independent of mass why does Jupiter pull an object more than the Earth does? Is that inconsistency within the law or in my perception?
Hi Guys.
I have a question about General Relativity.
If, according to GR, Mass curves Spacetime and gravity is simply matter falling into that curveture, why does all matter fall equally regardless to their spatial position on the mass. For example, why do people in let's say Australia fall into...
Hi everyone, I am thinking of solving it this way. Since Fc=mw^2r. and Fc=T. Then -dT=dmw^2r. where dm=m1(dx/l). and putting the lower at x=l the tension will be T=m2w^2l.
Am I doing things right.
I solved the last part of the previous question, But I got no idea how to start solving this question Like how the rope is being attached, is it attached to the inner disk or the outer one.
I want to express <m(x,y,z)> over a sphere of radius R in terms of $$<\rho(x,y,z)>$$
e.g $$<m>=\frac{\int_{sphere R}m(x,y,z)dv}{\int_{sphere}dv}$$
$$<m>=\frac{\int_{sphereR}(\int \rho(x,y,z)dv)dv}{\int_{sphere R}dv}$$
In classical mechanics, the energy of a system of particles (say with 2 particles) in an external field is given by
$$E=\frac{1}{2}m_1|\vec{v}_1|^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2|\vec{v}_2|^2+V(\vec{r}_1)+V(\vec{r}_2)+V'(|\vec{r}_2-\vec{r}_1|)$$
Where V is the potential energy of the external field, and V' is...
If an object's energy is proportional to its mass, how can a gram of antimatter produce more energy than 80 kilotons of TNT? Where does all this energy come from such a small amount of mass?Skip to 5:19 of the video where he says this:
Please explain this in the most simplest way possible.
Could I please ask for help with the following:
It's the final part I am having problems with.
So at this point we know we have SHM of amplitude (5/4)L
Now, using x = a cos(nt) ----- where we now know that n = sqrt(4g/L)
we can find the time at which x has any value.
So for exmaple, when...
In A.P. French's Special Relativity, the author said the following,
As I understand, photons are massless, so I don't think the last equation above applies to photons, but then, when deriving it, he used an equation proper to photons (##E=pc##).
So in which context is ##m=p/c## valid?
Atoms-to-mass conversion
Step 1: First, convert the number of atoms to moles, then convert miles to grams
Step 2: Second, use the inverse of the Avogadro’s number(moles to number of atoms)
Are these the correct steps?
Background:
My understanding is force and mass are two different things.
Mass is how much matter is in a body
Force is mass multiplied by an acceleration. Here on earth, that acceleration is 32.2 Ft/s2.
Therefore, for the same mass, there can be different forces depending on the...
My attempt to solve the first one.
T-mg=ma
T=m(g+a)
TR = Iα
I=(1/2)(M)(R^2)
α=a/R
TR=(1/2)(M)(R^2)(a/R)
T=(1/2)Ma
mg+ma=1/2Ma
a=(2mg)/(M-2m)
And... I got a wrong answer. As usual.
In an article its written,
$$\Omega_{\nu} = \frac{\rho_{\nu}}{\rho_{crit}}=\frac{\sum m_{i,\nu}n_{i,\nu}}{\rho_{crit}} = \frac{\sum m_{\nu}}{93.14h^2eV}$$
Now I am trying to derive this for myself but I could not. Can someone help me ?

mass = 37.2 g AICI3 (given)
number of ions = AI3+ Ions (unknown)

Summary:: A block of mass m is dropped onto the top of a vertical spring whose force constant is k. If the block is released from a height h above the top of the spring,

Few days back, our college professor told us that if a photon were to have a finite mass, then the Coulomb potential between two stationary charges separated by a distance r would be strictly zero beyond some distance.
He told us that it was due to the reason that photon is the elementary...
In the loop integral for the one-loop correction to the photon propagator in QED, the dominant term, after Wick rotation and angular averaging, has the form (omitting uninteresting factors) $$(1-2/d) e^2 \eta^{\mu\nu}\int_0^\infty \frac{p^{d+1}}{(p^2+\Delta)^2}dp,$$ where ##p## is the absolute...
I tried solving the differential equation by integrating both sides wrt t but this does not work out and I am doing something wrong. How do I integrate such an equation properly?
d²x/dt² = -k²/x³
=> dx/dt = -k²t/x³
=> x = -k²t²/2x³ + d
So I'm playing around with some water rockets and I'm trying to figure out how fast the exhaust velocity of the water is. I've had an experimental approach using high fps camera to record and analyse (using tracker) the exhaust velocity. I'm using a 0,5 l soda bottle with 0,085 L ; 0,135 ; L...
I came across a question that states
What mass would a neutrino need to still be relativistic today (T = 2.37K) ?
So for a particle to be relativistic we need ##pc \gg mc^2##
Well Neutrino was relativistic in the early universe, so I took the time when the neutrino decoupled which is...
Hello, and thank you again to anyone who can confirm if I have the right answer or who can give me some suggestions. This question felt like a bit of a surprise because we have not yet covered one where the mass of a planet was missing. Thus, my confidence in my work is low. Part b felt like a...
I started with calculating the Ep and Ek of the helicopter and got this:
Epi = 490m Eki= (1/2)(400m)
Epf = 12740m Ekf = (1/2)(1681m)
I don't really know where to go from there. Do the unknown mass variables cancel out? I'm lost!
So I know that since we are ignoring the mass of the electron, and the proton starts at rest, the proton has no KE and the electron has no rest energy.
So the initial total energy of the system would be
rest energy of proton + KE of electron = 2GeV + .938GeV = 2.938 GeV
and since energy is...
First I have to explain that this is not actually a homework problem. It is a problem I created to use in a sort of game. If I made a mistake, it tends to ball up the game. So I am looking for someone to double check my answer, and to point out any errors in my statement about physics. I prefer...
The first way to solve this is to just say, by conservation of momentum, that M_{0}v_{0}=(M_{0}+Apx)\frac{v_0}{2} where Apx is the mass of dust the rocket comes into contact with in a distance x.
For the second method, by considering the change of momentum of the dust in 1 second, we know the...
Why doesn't the incline angle play a role in changing the ##m## component of this equation?

FOR QUESTION 25, PART B:
ANSWER:
Dark matter passes through everything, but is only influenced by gravity, so in the case of a neutron star, since dark matter doesn't interfere with ordinary matter, it can just pass through it, but neutrinos might be stopped by it's density, as neutrinos can just pass through stars almost as if...

I'm currently looking at how fermion masses are produced via the Higgs mechanism in "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schroeder. It all makes a lot of sense and I've been fine with it so far, but I ended up getting stuck on something that's driving me nuts. I feel silly...

The Eddington luminosity gives a limit on the mass accretion rate of the black hole and therefore of the mass of the black hole.
L_edd = 13*10^38 M/M_sun [erg s-1]. When I calculate from this I get that the maximum mass is M = 10^(-8)M_sun... which is impossible. Any ideas?
