    Why Is Weight Expressed in Scientific Notation in Physics Problems?

    Its just a convention man..more applicable for bigger numbers...like you can write 10000000 or 10^7 they would mean the same thing...its just for the ease of writing

    Coefficient of restitution factors

    well what I'm actually looking for is practical variations with conditions.I'm building a project which works on collisions n so i want to know for how long will my original calculations be valid and what all variations will occur with time.still,i appreciate your response.

    Coefficient of restitution factors

    Homework Statement On what all factors does coefficient of restitution depend?i mean do we have 1 for a pair of surfaces in contact or a surface has one irrespective of the surface of the other colliding body?Also,practically,does coefficient of restitution change/vary?If yes,could anyone...

    Why are the electrons always against natural tendencies?

    how do you define an idealistic situation here?i mean,lets say instead of a single electron, i have a beam of electrons..doesnt that work as a better approxiamtion? in that case doesn't your 2nd argument fail? as much as I've infered from this discussion is, that basically are you trying to...

    Why are the electrons always against natural tendencies?

    as far as I've read,potential energy of a current carrying loop in a uniform magnnetic field is U=-p.B where p,B are magnetic dipole moment vector of the loop and the magnetic field vector(the field already present) the tendency of a current carrying loop should have been to align itself WITH...
