The perimeter of a circle is 2πR (R=radius). [ref] Acceleration = Δv/Δt (v=velocity, t=time). [ref] Motion mathematics can always be reduced to multiple independent one-dimensional motions. [ref] The distance an object travels while accelerating = vit + at2/2 (a=acceleration, vi=initial...

A common claim that hurricanes and cyclones have geometrical proportions that resemble a logarithmic golden spiral. Knowing that cyclones and hurricanes rotate because of the well-known Coriolis Effect, is it possible that the Golden Ratio is just a natural manifestation of the Coriolis effect?

Hi, the first paragraph in the Wikipedia entry to space contains a sentence saying there is disagreement between PHILOSOPHERS whether space is an entity, a relationship or a conceptual Framework. I am interested in what PHYSICISTS think about this. My personal view is that it is an entity as...

I'm wondering about the relationship between F=ma and E=mc2. Is it simply that, at relativistic speeds, E=mc2 replaces F=ma? (much like D = v x t is replaced by the Lorentz Contraction at relativistic speeds)

Recently I noticed something odd about the triangular numbers. The basic definition is \displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^{n}x=T_n A short time after playing around with T_n values I discovered something very odd-another formula for triangular numbers involving the root of the sum of cubes from 1 to n...

I was pondering Mars missions and wondered about what kind of vehicle an astronaut on Mars would need in order to get home. My first thought was that Mars gravity is .38 that of earth, so he would need a rocket about 38% as large to get off of Mars as he needed to get off of earth, This of...

Hi. I have no significant pure physics or math education or work experience (retired corporate analyst) but I was wondering what experts here might think about the relations between energy, dark energy and information. My understanding is that dark energy is the expansion of space, with space...

Fellow Nerds, I'm looking for a quantitative relationship between the gravitational strength of a point on a field and the speed of expansion of space at that point. Given a cosmological constant and a metric, is it possible to pinpoint a certain point of space and ask how quickly that space is...

Perhaps someone can clarify something for me that's been bugging me for a while. Assuming that singularities are not a singular event but occur naturally, we believe the objects for be of infinite density and infinite heat. On the other hand, in the case of black holes, it's logical to assume...

I would appreciate any clarification (or opinion) on the relationship between Quantum Numbers and Quantum Information. My question is related to the puzzle wether matter merely represents information or - at the basement level of reality - actually can be said to be information. Just to give...

Does anyone know the relationship between m, mass and c, the speed of light ? Can anyone draw the graph for me ? Thanks !

Hi, Am I right in saying that if the gradient of displacement is negative then stress is negative as in a simple elastic case, sigma = E*du/dx? thanks.

I've been teaching the Work, Energy and Power in UK A'Level Mechanics for some years without a problem. However, I got a question in class today which really made me think about my deeper understanding of the topic. I wonder if anyone can help with explanation of the problems below. The...

Is there any correlation between Mach number and Reynolds number? Both of these nondimensional numbers involve speed, but they don't seem all that related other than that. For high speed flow, we have high Mach number. Is it incorrect to say that "generally" high speed flow is turbulent?

I'm a games programmer working on a (simple, so far) physics engine for a driving game. Right now I'm interested in acceleration, and in particular trying to estimate the forces that go into it. I've got basic data for a bunch of cars (0-60 time, 0-100 time, top speed, mass) and a brute-force...

I'm currently doing a report on Petrol Engines and I'm having a problem with my results not making sense. Am I correct in saying Break mean effective pressure (bmep) should increase as Engine Speed (rev/min) increases? My results do not reflect this and I don't understand why. I have attached...

Hey fellas! Nice to be here again [emoji5]️ Here is the thing, everybody at school keeps telling me that the more power consumed by an electrical component such as a resistor or even a coil the hotter it will get. However, even though I understand that power is energy per unit of time and heat...

I know,kinetic energy=##\frac{1}{2}####mv^2## But I saw one other equation it is kinetic energy=##\frac{1}{2}####|P.E|## Then I started looking for in which specific condition is it true?Because I know it is not always applicable .But I could not find that particular condition when it is true.So...

Hi there, I've recently been looking into applications of cross-correlation in the context of signal processing. I've noticed that the mathematical operations that yield the cross correlation between two signals is very similar to the operations in calculating the convolution of a signal and...

What is the relationship between the Fourier transform of a periodic function and the coefficients of its Fourier series? I was thinking Fourier series a special version of Fourier transform, as in it can only be used for periodic function and only produces discrete waves. By this logic, aren't...

A building has a water pipe inlet. I have found that at if I open the valve at this location fully, then I get 180 liters per minute at a residual pressure of 0,2 bars (static pressure is 5,4 bars). Is there a fixed relationship between the flow and pressure drop so that I can easily predict...

Hi, I am having trouble understanding the relationship between speed, distance and time. For example, if time was tripled, what would be the effect on distance? What about the effect on speed? Would they both increase 3 times as well? Thanks! All help is very much appreciated!

Hoping to clarify something about this... Is it fair to say that you should consider the relationship between pressure and area as a function of whether a fluid is moving or standing still? In other words, when a fluid is moving and you decrease the area, the pressure goes down because there...

Given the following: A directional radio wave transmitting antenna which creates a beam (diameter in mm), a current in volts, and a frequency (Hz), is it possible to calculate the em wave voltage (v/m or w/m2) immediately next to the antenna? and then at a distance of 10meters? What...
