Give an example from classical physics in which the motion of a clock affects its rate-that is the way it runs. (The magnitude of the effect may depend on the detailed nature of the clock.) What is another name for the First Law of Motion? Provide an example of a situation that can ...
Most planets and celestial objects are inside of a large Crystal Sphere in which there is a visible navigable crack. Halfway through the crack, gravity gets increasingly stronger as the spaceship feels the gravitational force of the parts of the Crystal Sphere it is leaving behind. Above the cr...
A ball is at rest 103.70 meters above the ground. If it is allowed to fall under the influence of gravity only (ignore air resistance), how fast (in meters per second) is it moving just before hitting the ground? Do more...
a quasi-satellite stays close to a planet while orbiting the Sun. In this case, it has a more oblong orbit than Venus, which doesn't exert enough gravity to hold the asteroid in its own orbit. Although the planet's gravitational influence affects the stability of the...
[1] In theory, the only thing that affects how fast a pendulum swings is its length and the strength of gravity. For relatively small swings, the time (T) it takes to make one complete swing (known as the period) is given by this little equation:...
As for testing the possibility of antigravity between matter and antimatter, the upcoming AEGIS experiment at CERN could provide some answers. The experiment will compare how the Earth’sgravityaffects hydrogen and antihydrogen atoms, and could give scientists a better understanding of antimatter’s gr...
The power that the moon exerts on living beings may be mainly attributed to two factors or primary forces which differ along the consecution of the moon cycle; gravity and light changes, and their suggested effect on hormonal production and regulation. Folklore has reported a possibly calmer, ...
When you’re vertical, your body has to fight the force of gravity to get blood to your brain. It will do this by increasing your heart rate, even if you’re not moving. External temperature affects your heart rate too—the warmer it is outside, the warmer your body temperature will ...
