    Car Battery Safety in Lab: Risk Assessment

    Get different batteries, car batteries aren't that good anyways. Don't take the chance of leaving voltage on them. Cap them with plastic or dielectric grease when you're not using it. This is a school you are talking about and not a part shop or garage. Or keep the battery in a fan ventilated...

    Making formulas and graphing them

    So with the formulas you've created you get a big jump of 60 and then small increments of 5. In high school I got away with breaking a graph during initial jumps. I would put a break in the y-axis right at the bottom. My teachers never liked breaks in graphs but I could get away with breaks in...

    Making realistic scenarios for the given lines

    Car wash: Y can equal the car wash price. Would it work if you switched the explanation for m and b I'd like going to the carwash more if the extra services cost less than the actual wash. It would make me want to get multiple extra services. I think scrapping the golf course idea would be...

    Why does changing the frequency of a wave affect the energy?

    They are probably right not letting people try to explain it yet. Learning from google got me into an ether theory... atleast I know about that theory now.

    Conservation of charge vs force

    That's a great explanation for my example. Thank you.

    Conservation of charge vs force

    Ah well I'll step off the easy path then. I'll have to get to learning.

    Conservation of charge vs force

    My imagination and intuition has only been limited by my predecessors. Well thanks for that. I wanted to be able to change my thought process. In my line of work I'm frequently asked to do shoddy repairs and modifications. I rarely use formulas and calculations since the person that pays me...

    Conservation of charge vs force

    So why would the force change between the two objects? I'm picturing something like 2 situations where one has a ball of 4 electrons and a ball of 6 electrons And another situation where there's 2 balls containing 5 electrons each. They are both the same distance apart. I feel intuitively that...

    Why does changing the frequency of a wave affect the energy?

    Lol so it's another question where we're not supposed to ask why? These waves are being created. Let's say by an electron moving energy levels. So jumping from a really high level to a really low level will create a high energy photon? Can one electron only make one photon per jump? Bonus...

    Conservation of charge vs force

    Also how do you calculate the force of attraction to something with no charge. 0C×2C=0C

    Electric charges and fields: Charged conducting spheres touching then separated

    Whoops I was doing mental math... not good. I was thinking starting with decimals would get you there. Sorry for confusing you. The guys on this site are usually much better at helping.

    Why does changing the frequency of a wave affect the energy?

    But i think OP is asking about the frequency of an individual photon and not the amount of photons which I'd also like to know. The last post in this other thread says intensity is a combination of #of photons and frequency. https://www.physicsforums.com/index.php?posts/2468490 I thought...

    Electric charges and fields: Charged conducting spheres touching then separated

    1C×4C=4C After touching 2.5C×2.5C=6.25C But I don't think you have to use whole numbers Is this giving too much away still?

    B Voyager 1 - image of 'Pale Blue Dot'

    0.25^2 degrees(or is it 0.25 degrees^2)? Can you tell me about this unit in this context please. Is this used from a point of view like: the moon has a diameter of 0.5 degrees from a viewer on earth?

    B Voyager 1 - image of 'Pale Blue Dot'

    So I did more googling and found more stuff including another thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/index.php?threads/475985/ It seems the internet is mixing up a photo from cassini and voyager one saying on some sites that the pale blue dot is Earth with saturns rings in frame. Which is...
