Well, it doesn't matter how one would fall. What would matter is how the question is interpreted though. And, I don't feel as though you're understanding the question correctly, NascentOxygen. It's neither an archaeological question, nor is it anthropologic. Rather, it's a question of...

LOL, I'm an idiot. I got you man. Thanks Zula!

I'm also confused as to your notation. because 72.8 mN/m = 72.8N. Is this the required force in order to breach the surface tension?

Zula110100100 - I was curious as to what applied force would break the surface tension of water? Maybe even a known equation that could apply would be dynamite? I do thank you for your input. I'll try to apply it...

@ NascentOxygen, Umm, it may be my fault for not articulating the question well enough but, what I'm interested in is whether or not a body would sink if that same body were unfortunate enough to fall from the ledge of a cinder cone into a pool of magma? Zula110100100 - Say that the surface...

Recently, there has been an argument of whether or not you would sink if you were unlucky enough to fall into a volcano. The proponents of this argument focus their attention on the water/magma density difference. Since the human body consists of 60-70% water, and water is less dense than...

I'm in full agreement with a Big Bang start of our Universe. However, I am a little perplexed as to where these staring materials originated from. Now, I know that there is no solid answer, but I was just curious as to some theories. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch rl.bhat!

Homework Statement Lightbulbs labeled 40 W, 60W, and 100 W are connected to a 120 V/60 Hz power line as shown in the diagram. What is the rate at which energy is dissipated in each bulb? Homework Equations Pr = (Vrms)^2/R The Attempt at a Solution I'm not exactly sure how to...

Thanks again kuruman!

Homework Statement Just wondering if I were to plot the magnetic field strength as a function of time of an RC circuit if they would be related through the time constant in the current (I = Ioe^-t/RC)?

Thanks for your time kuruman!

So, the magnetic field should point North.

The current is to the east. I wasn't sure if they meant up as in a 3-D view of the ground up or just up in the plane of the page. If they mean that the force is up in the plane of the page, the field would be coming out of the page. If they mean that the force is coming out of the page as if...
