Hello, Obviously using a piston, you convert linear movement to circular. Or using a turbine. Other methods/mechanisms?

if you have 3 space ships on the x, y and z axis and they blast off...one of them must be moving in an absolute sense. Is it the case that if there is absolute movement then there MUST be absolute time also?

Hi, I've had an idea I would like feed-back. Let's imagine a particle on an x axis. On it's initial state it is localized in segment [0,1] as a purely symmetric wave. The quantum Zeno effects tells us that if we measure wether the particle is still in [0,1] n times during one second, the...

The Problem So, I know the basic, the basic differential equation of movement in terms of the angle it is formed, which has the form: 0 = g⋅sin[α(t)] + α''(t)⋅l. However, I decided to consider the friction force of the air, which is always contrary to the movement, and proportional to the...

Homework Statement A hand induces a transverse wave in a string by periodically moving up and down. This causes the string to move up and down. This movement propagates through the string producing a series of wavefronts which move towards the fixed wall with a velocity v. How do we...

So, when you bring a charged object near for example a soda can, I get that the soda can gains a positive side and a negative side, but the can also moves towards the charged object, why is that? Is it because if you put a negative charged object near the soda can the side of the can nearest to...

Can we predict the movement of a magnet in a uniform magnetic field using Maxwell's equations? What if the magnetic field is variable, for example if we have two magnets moving in a reference frame? Thank you for any answers and I wish you a Merry Christmas! :)

Hi, It's my first post here on the forum and I'm just looking for an answer to a basic kinematic movement equation. This is the text of a problem: "A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4 m. Determine the acceleration of the bike." Now, in the...

I have this problem to solve until tomorrow: A point moves along the parabola r*cos^2(θ/2) = p/2, p > 0, in the direction that θ increases. At the time t=0, the point is on the verge of the parabola. The velocity is v = k*r, k>0. What is the equation of movement, the radial acceleration and...

Hi, The goal here is to increase/decrease the angle x by 5 degrees. the black circles represent a rubber tire (same as car tires, only smaller), 5cm in diameter, rotating on it's center, powered by a motor. each wheel has 40 psi (2.76 bar) of air in it. the yellow tray on both diagrams are...

Hi there, I am doing a physics assignment. I had to use a program called tracker to simulate the movement of a puck. So I just need some help to see if anyone can figure out what I've done wrong as something isn't making much sense. Let's jump right into it. When the puck moves down and hits...

I want to test the accuracy a linear displacement sensor (Hall effect) that I have, but I'm not sure what to measure it against. The sensors are made to measure with a resolution of 10μm. My initial thought was to use a drill press to move up and down, but I don't think I know of any that are...

Hi. First, let me introduce myself: I m from Brazil, I studied physics a few years ago and I ended up leaving the course, today I work with software development. I would like to know if you can help me to take a doubt: I came up with an idea that an electron could move so fast that it would...

Homework Statement A boat, moving at the velocity of 9,9m/s turns off its engine and starts decelerating at the rate of a=-kv^2. What is the velocity of the boat after 4,9 seconds if the constant k is k=5,5m Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I tried to integrate deceleration to get...

Dear all, to keep me busy on a Sunday I considered the "1-body radial movement in a (Newtonian) gravitational field problem". I was a bit surprised to find it quite hard finding decent explanations on it. My question is: does anyone have a reference of the explicit solution to the particle's...

In DC, we have learned that the electrons move from their position through the conductor, resulting in a current. They leave their positions on the application of a potential difference, and move or flow in the direction of higher to lower potential, thereby causing a current. But what about...

I’ve been on cruise ships and recreational boats. But, that’s not something I do every weekend. That’s just an occasional thing. On the smaller boats, I can feel the ebb and flow of being on the ocean more noticeably. On the cruise ships, I have to be real still and off in a quiet place to...

In the Great Courses lecture series "Oceanography", Prof. Tobin says that the general direction of beach sand movement ("sediment transport") along both the east and west coasts of the USA is from north to south. On the east coast, this is because the prevailing direction of waves is from the...

The other day I used my Ludlum survey meter to check out if any of my old junk electrical part may show any traces of radioactivity. I was rather surprised to find an old meter movement magnet showed some activity. Today I took some pictures while determining just how much activity there was...

Hi Any line joining points A and B has infinite points. So, when I move from A to B, do I cross infinity?

Hello, I need to know a bit about lightning/discharge, in a small scale ofcourse. I have the impression that we can somehow (with a battery) charge a metallic tip and then if we put another metallic tip close enough, a lightning will be created. Is this correct? In addition, I would like to...

Basically a weight moves from starting point on a ramp down to the bottom of the ramp. The ramp is on wheels so the ramp will also move. The formula is based on the center of mass of the combined object. Center of mass does not move. XA0 = position of small mass before it slides down ramp XB0 =...

Hi guys! I want to thank to all the guys which helping us to understand the beauty and mystery of the relativistic theory. Here I just want to share the calculation of Lorenz factor for the moving clock in the frame of reference of the "stationary" observer. This time the clock is not...

Can it be said that time is directly related to movement? That is to say, on a quantum level, if all motion were to cease, would that not bring about the cessation of time?

I apologize ahead of time if this thread was made in the incorrect post. I have only taken Physics III (Mechanics) and am now taking Physics IV (Electricity/Magnetism). I have yet to find a description of every type of forum here. In class, I was understanding everything that was mentioned and...

I have read in my biology book that "nastic movement is the movement that occur due to difference in the rate of growth on two opposite sides of a plant organ" , but I can't visualize how this movement take place and how the rate of growth cause this movement?

Hi there, I hope you experts can help me out: I have a braiding process in which a rod is wrapped around with braiding wires. Pulling the rod is the linear velocity, spinning of the braiding wires around the rod is a circular movement. Added together they form a helical movement. The ratio of...
