Coefficient of friction, momentum, speed and distance
I have some physics questions: 1. It takes a force of 300 N to keep a 500-N box sliding across a floor. What is the coefficient of the sliding friction? 2. A force acting on a 5.0-kg body increases its speed uniformly from 2.0m/s to 8.0m/s in 3 s. What is the initial momentum of the body? What is the final momentum of th ...continues
Size Matters: Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
Question: Calculate the proportion of atoms on the surface atomic layer of Ag spheres with the diameters below given that the thickness of the surface atomic shell is 0.289nm, stating any assumptions made. a) 1 micro meter b) 10 nm c) 5 nm
Silver density is 10,490 kg/m^3 and used to form spheres of different diameters. Calculate the surface area in m^2 of 1 g of Ag spheres.
Bonhoefer-van der Pol Equation
How do I describe the stationary points of the system of equations (attached) in the range -2< z <2? (c=3, a=0.7, b=0.8)
Please see the attached file for the adequate depiction of the scalar problem. A conservative force F can be written as F = -[upside down triangle]*phi symbol, where the phi symbol is called a scalar potential. Calculate the scalar potential for the gravitational force F = -k*abs. r/r^(2)

How is it that ships made largely of steel can float when the density of steel is much higher than the density of water? Why is it possible to make oil tankers much larger than other ships (and what happens when an oil tanker is unloaded?)
Pressure Variations and Ocean Exploration
How do the pressure variations with depth affect the ability to explore the ocean? How does it affect scuba diving and submarines? If you explain it to me and also if you give me internet site or reference book I would learn more. Thanks for your help.
Taking Advantage of Alternative Energy Sources
Why is it that our society has not taken advantage of alternative energy sources?
Explain how power is created using hydraulics and how a little cylinder on the tractor can raise or lower extreme amounts of implement weight. Explain the system including parts and functions.
Deciding Between Evolution and Creationism
Since science does not prove anything, neither the theories of evolution nor creationism are proven. Discoveries often presented as evidence are in fact just observations that did not disprove the theories or the hypotheses formulated based on the theories. How do I decide between these two theories? If you include references wi ...continues
How do we do scientific investigation? I just want examples. Thanks for your help.
Theories widely accepted in the scientific community
Would you show me an example of a theory that is widely accepted in the scientific community? Thanks for your help.
Why do we say that science does not prove anything? I do not understand this; the science I know proves everything. If you have any ideas I'd be very happy.
A person with a 50cm ponytail is using a lathe which is turning at 300rpm. The person turns their head, catching the end of the ponytail in the work piece, which has a diameter of 7cm. How long will it take the person's head to be dragged into the lathe?
