I want to know if there's a book or a direction of research that explains math in a way that will give me the tools to be able to look at math and truly understand why each piece is used in each spot like the physics who invented it must of understood.
For example: Just for something as simple...
The title says it all. I would like to know how to calculate the time for boiling water to cool off. Assuming the temperature of the room is not changing and there is a constant degree of air flow over the water. Really I would just like to know how to go about calculating this.
Thanks in...
Hi i was thinking about how to calculate the temperature lost by Degree Celsius per minute and was wondering if you had the surface area of the object, its initial temperature, a constant flow rate of air around the object and probably also need some coefficient of heat loss based on the...
Waves on water require water to move, sound waves require a medium of the like. My question is what do light waves move in. Empty space contains not much more then low density hydrogen, what medium could light possibly be moving in.
I was asking the question for the math point of view i know that its not escape velocity. I was asking with in 100km for an example, because i wanted to account for air resistance. I don't know the math of how to determine the initial velocity well accounting for an air resistance. That will be...
I was wondering how to do the math because you would half to be in a constant state of acceleration. Wondering how to do that math taking gravity and air resistance into account.
Also isn't escape velocity the minimum velocity you would need to leave Earth implying a constant velocity. I am...
The distance from the Earth's surface to the boundary of space is 100km. What i was wondering is how to calculate the acceleration you would need, incorporating air resistance and gravity to travel this distance. If you were being launched by a canon.
So the initial acceleration, if someone...
Hello, i was wondering if somebody could give be a better explanation of what voltage really is. Its has been explained to me that the voltage of an electron can be thought of as holding a ball at certain height representing the potential energy of the ball which is then converted into kinetic...
Why do compressors for example in the fridge make that vibrating sound, I've heard a similar vibrating noise in fans which are compressing air as well... i think. Why does compressing air make sound? Can air hitting air create sound waves?
Light is electric magnetic waves alternating. But are electric magnetic waves?, What are they composed of. electric and magnetic fields ? But what are they composed of ? is there any physical part of a wave to imagine. light is energy but is that the best description to what light is. We know...
But when imagining water to be like a light wave i run into a problem. Water waves go up and down because of gravity's pull so why would a light wave go up and down if light does not have mass. I know its alternating electric and magnetic fields but why would they behave as a wave without...
But how can two different waves for example move through each other they don't have mass but are made out of energy and energy of two different levels if let's say a Gama-ray and a X-ray hit each other would they not have some reaction. When for example hot air moves through cold air they do...
like a wave of water that also can have particle like properties. not sure how to tie that part into the image though, How could light with particle like properties just go through each other... i don't understand how that could be possible.
