In my textbook, it is stated that "if an object elastically hit an frictionless inclined surface with angle between the vector of initial velocity and an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface ##\alpha##,then the angle between the line and final velocity vector will also be...

According to Relativity, any object traveling at c will not experience time, because of time dilatation. It will seem to the object that it has traveled instantly while ages may pass outside. Further, an object without rest mass will always travel at c. Therefore, if there were no objects with a...

https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.04622 Calculating the Higgs Mass in String Theory Steven Abel, Keith R. Dienes [Submitted on 8 Jun 2021] There are at least two properties of the Higgs mass one might hope to explain with such a fundamental calculation: its criticality, and its participation in...

h = d1 + 0.08 d1 = h - 0.08 d2 = h + 0.08 I of the vertical portion = 1/12 m (l^2 + b^2) + md1^2 = 1/12 m (0.28^2 + 0.04^2) + m(h - 0.08)^2 I of the horizontal portion = 1/12 m (l^2 + b^2) + md2^2 = 1/12 m (0.28^2 + 0.04^2) + m(h + 0.08)^2 The moment of inertia for the whole T-shape about...

If mass increases with velocity(v), can I say velocity is a quantity dependent on (v)? m=Ymo, m>mo so why can't we say that the mass (matter) increases and yes what increases is the energy to make your speed keep increasing?

Hello friends! We are installing a future provision for a Rocket Mass-type woodstove in our home. This is a future project but realized that we could take advantage of the open area between the footing and finished floor by adding an insulated block of concrete with PEX pipes for Heating and...

Does the law of conservation of mass fail to meet the first postulate of the special theory of relativity(the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference)?

What does it mean that the relationship between material mass and weight is constant and proportional? Hi! Yes, another question... I have many doubts. :) I hope someone can help me with this apparently very basic doubt, but I feel like a stupid monkey trying to join two sticks to reach bananas...

The mass (rest mass) of an atom, for example, depends on the kinetic and potential energy of the particles and their individual masses. Kinetic and potential energy are relative. Why is the mass not relative, but the same for all reference frames?

I don't see how isolate m or M. That is, how to get rid of <v^2> which is how I wrote the average of v2

Can someone please verify if my reasoning is accurate? I chose E) Planets B and D because they both have the same ratio of mass to radius which is the lowest of all the other planet options. Due to the fact that they have mass and radius evened out the gravitational pull will pull weight down...

Is there a constant for the rate at which time slows relative to the amount of mass? If so would there be a base measure eg time being present with 0 mass

Mass curves the spacetime. In electrodynamics, an electron curves an electric field (if there is one) - because it has an electric field of its own. The electron is the source of an electric field(maxwell equations) Is there an analogy to space-time, is mass the source of the space-time field as...

I'm learning string theory from the book by Zwiebach and others. I'm trying to understand the quantisation of the open string and its mass spectrum. In light-cone gauge the mass-shell condition of an open string is given by: $$M^2 = 2(N - 1)/l_s^2$$ where ##N =...

I've been stuck at this pulley system for a while. I've calculated the force of which A pulls => FA = sin25*50*9.82 = 208.5 N But I get stuck on the free body diagram. Can someone help and explain the freebody diagram

I was playing around with a theory that dark matter was behind the opaque wall of the early universe, as gravity would not be opaque. Not sure if the numbers fit yet, but one odd thing I calculated was the distance squared of 46 billion light years, as the mass of the early universe, by time...

I don't understand, in balancing a nuclear equation, the sum of all the mass numbers and atomic numbers, given on the upper left and lower left side of the element symbol, respectively, must be equal for both sides of the equation. So why does the sum on the left side equal to 20, but the sum on...

Summary:: TLDR : Drink cooled from 17 C to 7 C with either ice cubes (method 1) or soapstone stones (method 2). Calculate the mass of each item that would be needed to cool the same drink. Given the information provided. In order to cool a drink (“cola” for example) from a storage-room...

Been thinking about mass today and came up with a question. Why is that objects on this Earth describe its weight in Kg, g, mg, Mg? IE 2.2Lbs is 1Kg. So why do we name the 1Kg to be mass, but the 2.2Lbs we call weight. Both have to be a unit of force if there is a conversion factor between the...

The attachment is the key. I wonder where the (3/8)L comes from. Can someone explain it, please? Thanks.

So always in my problems i had mass (M) but now i don't and it seems impossible to solve this problem if I don't have mass I think i am missing something. I was looking for similar problems in my book and internet and didn't find any.

I'm re-watching Star Trek TNG and I just started the episode where they encounter Scotty aboard a ship that's crashed into a Dyson sphere. That got me thinking. What would the mass and external surface gravity of a Dyson Sphere be? I've done the math myself, but I'd appreciate someone double...

Below is an ideal mass pulley system that we encounter in many problems under Newton's Second Law of Motion questions. Its supposed to be massless and frictionless i.e. string slips over the pulley and pulley does not rotate. In a real system, the pulley is assumed to be massless, whereas in...

Two forces each of size 8N, have a resultant of 13N. a) Find the angle between the forces b) The two given forces of magnitude 8N act on a particle of mass m kg, which remains at rest on a horizontal surface with no friction. The normal contact force between the surface and the particle has...

I remember being told that heavier things fall at the same rate as lighter things when everything else is equal. But this guy does a demonstration of a Xenon balloon falling faster than a Neon balloon. Why? Also an overloaded plane may not be able to fly, but it has the same aero dynamics, it...

I understand that velocity is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of displacement; and that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity (it is the derivative of velocity). Morever, I believe I know that for SHM these graphs vary sinusoidally (I have attached a...

What is the best recent experimental evidence for effective mass increase (momentum/velocity) with speed, with experimental details? Searching the web all I find is either very old ones (early 1900s). Or vague generalized statements like (Wikipedia) "Many additional experiments concerning the...

So first I find the energy using the eqn (1/2)kA^2. Since there are two springs with the same k I multiply it by two to get kA^2. Energy I get is 2.0475, Now I use E=(1/2)m(wA)^2 to find mass. Again since there are two springs I use E=m(wA)^2. m=E/(wA)^2. w=(2(pi))/T btw. I get the answer of...

My two questions: The author claims that ##T_1=T_2## and ##\alpha = \beta##, and this is supposed to be clear the force triangle. Why is this so? Is it possible to use calculus of variation to find the lowest point C? That is, by maximizing the triangle ABC (Area of ABC = ##\frac{1}{2}(line...

Hi! I have a question about inclined planes. In the diagram I attached, you can see that, with or without friction, mass does not affect the acceleration of the block. However, in my experience, the more people I put on my sled, the faster it goes. Why is this?

Let me imagine myself standing on the Earth with my arm in the resting position perpendicular to the ground. Now if I decide to raise my right arm by 90 degrees, now that it is parallel to the ground. I have shifted my center of mass in this process. But the center of mass will not accelerate...

As I stated in the summary I'd like to calculate the required pressure and mass of a tank of hydrogen that would allow me to fill a second tank with 10kg of H2 at 700bar. I am trying to get an idea of the feasibility of doing this, putting aside, for now, how the primary tank would itself be...

If you search on-line for "efficiency of a black hole" you will get several discussions suggesting that the efficiencies of converting mass to energy are from 6% for non-rotating black holes to 42% for the fastest rotating black holes. I would like to know exactly how black holes convert some of...

I have solved this question and it seemed pretty easy, but I got an extremely large number for the mass flow, I had to post the question here to make sure I did it correctly. Any help will be appreciated.

Confused how to approach problem after making a free body diagram and finding the length of the inclined plane

Hello. Be v grateful any assistance with this. Question is energy to haul 2000kg 4 metres up a 1 in 100 incline with 300 Newtons friction Answer is given as exactly 1.98 kJ. The only figures I can see that relate to anything here are 2000kg minus 10 = 1980, and 1:100 is 0.01 which times...

I am doing an Atwood Simulation lab. I am having trouble with this part of my lab that ask the question provided. I can tell that the relationship is linear and that as the mass increases at a constant rate the acceleration increases. Logger pro tells me that the slope is 31.43. I am having...

Hi! My name's Logan Knox and I'm aspiring to eventually understand the physics and nature of the quantum world in its totality, and I have a LONG way to go, but I have to get there by asking the right questions, and I think this is the first step to finding the right question to ask for this...

The low-energy effective action of the bosonic string is given by: $$S=\frac{1}{2k_0^2}\int d^{26}X\sqrt{-G}e^{-2\Phi}\Big(\mathcal{R}-\frac{1}{12}H_{\mu\nu\lambda}H^{\mu\nu\lambda}+4\partial_\mu\Phi\partial^\mu\Phi\Big)$$ where ##H_{\mu\nu\lambda}=\partial_\mu B_{\nu\lambda}+\partial_\nu...

Consider the following situation: You have 1 rectangular block lying on a table, and an identical block is placed above the block on the table. Now, this new block is constantly pushed to the right, right before it topples off. Consider the torque about an axis passing through the rightmost...

Assuming zero spring mass and zero friction, At the greatest value of x, the loss in gravitational potential energy should equal the loss in elastic potential energy. so I did (1/2)kx^2=mgx to isolate x in the formula, x=(2mg)/k then I plugged in my values so: (2*13.6*9.81)/8.8= 30.3218...

Regarding finding centers of mass of infinite figures, how one can show that $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty \left(\frac1{x^2}-\cos \frac1x\right)dx=\pi $$ for instance, and other similar integrals, like the following? $$ \int_0^\infty (x^2-\frac6{x^4})dx=0 $$

Hello! So here what I did is first calculated the potential energy; $$ E_p = \frac{1}{2} * k * x^2 $$ E_p should be = 0,125 J Now i tried calculating the kinetic energy, I used this formula $$ E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} $$ to get v I used this formula $$v = x *\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} $$ v should be =...

In the test of General Relativity by perihelion motion of mercury, the stress-energy tensor is set to 0 in Schwarzschild solution. Then, is the curvature caused by solar mass, or by the 0 stress-energy? Or, do we consider solar mass as the gravitating mass? Or the 0 stress-energy the gravitating...
