Well for our 1st yr PHY lab we have to actually perform an experiment and thn present it to the class? Any suggestions?

Currently we were thinking things like calculation viscoities of diffrent liquids by measuring the velocity of objects travelling throught it, Projectiles, collisions,Fluid Flow..etc ect

Basically anything that does not need really expensive random material.

Ok..Instead of making things complicated and move to the moon, why cant we keep it simple and stop screwing up the earth? It cant be that hard. Even if we do move to the moon, where do you think were getting supplies from? Obviously the earth we are screwing up.

I am looking for social networking sites with a predominantly scientific audience. Science is a collaborative activity and one would assume that the web would be the perfect tool for co-ordinating networking. However I cannot seem to find the scientific equivalent of LinkedIn, Bebo, MySpace etc. Is there one?

A gymnast on a suspended platform holds on to a 5 m long rope and swings by gravity alone (i.e., without pushing off) to another platform directly below the rope’s suspension point. Approximate how long it takes to swing from point A to point B.

My brother used to catch those who understand physics and those who just memorize it with this question.
There is a table. On the table is a chair. On the chair is an object (say a stone) which weighs W kg. The stone has a force R acting on it and it in turn applies a force R on the chair. Similarly the table has four forces acting on its legs which are cancelled by the equal and opposite forces acting from the table, lets call them r.

Now according to Newtons Laws (since there is no motion) there should be an equal and opposite force to W. Where is it?

About fibe years ago, I bought my husband a gift of an acre of land on the moon. It was advertised as a sort of gag gift thing on the Howard Stern show. I thought it was funny. I got all these documents and I wondered if anyone else vought this and if it is truly just a prank, or does it have any value?

In optics we all know that a ray of light bends according to incident angle when it passess to a glass slab form air.For some time consider(suppose) that you are a ray of light and are going to strike on a plane of glass slab. I am sure you will agree that you will see nothing but only the point on the plane on which you are going to strike. At such condition how can you know the inclination at which you are inclined to the plane of glass slab and bend accordingly???

Will our brains get bigger and our organs will shrinks since most of the daily things will be automatic?

Maybe no body will have to work anymore because will we live in a different kind of awareness?

Or maybe earth will not survive 100 more years?

What do you think?

Hi, slartybardfast.

My discovery has got nothing to do with monopole...
Magnetic field is in circular condition, N & S are just to indicate the direction for reference purpose... So very simple, N & S are actually the same only the directions different. Can we divide one simple singular item into two? No, right? For centuries, people have mistaken that a magnet comes with two 'extreme poles'...

My conclusion: no such thing as monopole in real world. Besides imaginary theory.

Two bags each contain 3 red, 3 white and 3 blue marbles. Without looking, someone removes from the first bag the LARGEST number of marbles that it is possible to remove while still being sure that at least one of each colour remains. These marbles are put into the second bag. He now transfers back (without looking of course) the SMALLEST possible number of marbles that will assure there being at least 2 of each colour in the first bag.

How many marbles remain in the second bag?

There are substances harder than diamonds, take borazon for example it is much harder than a diamond and is made up of a compound of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. diamonds are made in the same structure but is not has hard as borazon, so why do we humans stick to such idealogies? look deeper into this and answer the moral of this question, why when somebody is told something and it is beleived for a long time, are they ignorant to the truth? it has happened throughout history.
