The business terms push and pull originated in logistics and supply chain management, but are also widely used in marketing and in the hotel distribution business.
Walmart is an example of a company that uses the push vs. pull strategy.

Suppose you had a very, very large black hole, so large that the tidal forces at or near the event horizon were not fatal. If you lowered someone down via a very long indestructible cable past the event horizon, and you held your spaceship sufficiently far away from the black hole to ignore its...
I'm trying to work out the amount of charge needed for atoms to leave the surface of a solid.

Beverage engineering. The pull tab was a major advance in the engineering design of beverage containers. The tab pivots on a central bolt in the can's top. When you pull upward on one end of the tab, the other end presses downward on a portion of the can's top that has been scored. If you pull...
There are two objects with the distance of r apart .
because of the gravity , these two objects start to get closer to each other and then they get to each other (actually they fall on each other) .So my question is how long does it take for them to get to each other?
Thank you

If a glass of water is resting on a table and there is a piece of paper or cloth or whatever under the glass, and you pull the paper/cloth really fast, the glass does not move. Can someone please explain the physics of this to me. THNX
I'm working on a project for school and I have to come up with a system where a pulled object moves twice as far as the object doing the pulling. I think I've seen a pulley system that can do this, but I can't remember where. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Short question; Matter attracts matter, black holes even attracts light. If all matter in this universe was together, wouldn't that create big enough gravity to never let that matter go? Or would it create some kind of implotion? Or how could Big Bang be?
