    What kinds of energry conversions

    What kinds of energy conversions are involved when a mass is falling eo the ground? A. Power to work B. Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy C. Kinetic Energy to Potential Energy D. Force to Kinetic energy I think the answer is C, because the object is moving and then will ultimately hit...

    Calculate Period of Planet X with Kepler's Third Law

    Using Kepler's Third Law, give the formula for the period TX of planet X whose orbital radius RX is twice that of earth, RE. A. TX=(1 Year)x(RX/RE)^3 B. TX^2=(1 Year)x(RX/RE)^3 C. TX=(1 Year)x(RE/RX)^3 D. TX^2=(1 Year)x(RE/RX)^3 My book is not giving me a formula to use, so i a totally...

    Struggling to Understand Relativistic Phenomena

    Then i would not be able to run very quickly at all. Everytihng would slow down to an extreme, including the speed of cars, and planes. My perception of time would chage in dramatic ways. Everything would take so long to complete. A trip to the grocery store would take days... I think this is an...

    How Does Adding a Spring Affect Collision Outcomes?

    Although i am not possitive, i think this may help. Scenerio A: Object A strikes Object B and energy is transfered. As a result, Object A transfers momentum to Object B, and Object B then moves. Scenerio B: Object A strikes the spring, which in turn exerts force of Object B. When the...

    Struggling to Understand Relativistic Phenomena

    I understand your explanation, but let me try to answer your question... If the speed of light were represented by a guy walking with a tube of protons that bounce vertically, then: time would slow down. the length of each bounce would increase (because of relativity?) and the mass would be...

    Struggling to Understand Relativistic Phenomena

    unfortunately my class is material based, and not equation based. i should have mentioned this before, but do you have an explanation that is a little easier to understand? i appreciate the help, i just do not know what the equations and symbols represent... thanks!

    Struggling to Understand Relativistic Phenomena

    This question has been driving me crazy all night. The question reads: If the speed of light were smaller than it is, would relativistic phenomena be more or less conspicious than they are now? :confused: Honestly, i do not have a clue as to what the question is asking, and without...
