How does placing a block of iron on the copper hull of a ship prevent corrosion in the copper?

Posted: 29 Sep 2019 07:58 PM PDT

Or for that matter, why not metals like gold or nickel (as the block)?

Why not electroplate the iron onto the copper hull itself, and then electroplate zinc on that?

Why would a block of iron that does not cover all the copper stop corrosion in all the copper?

How did NASA increase the weight limit of the LEM in the later Apollo missions?

Posted: 29 Sep 2019 05:03 PM PDT

I was watching From the Earth to the Moon recently, and in the episode where the first LM was built, the big problem in building it was getting it under the launch weight limit. How did the subsequent LMs seem to be much heavier than the first one (they were on the moon for longer, had a rover, etc.) Was the launch weight limit increased? or did they manage to keep the weight the same? Or was the episode just using that as drama?

Does my stove glow red when heated because of accelerating charges or quantum mechanics?

Posted: 30 Sep 2019 01:29 AM PDT

I've been hearing 2 explanations for why my stove glows red when heated.

First reason: Everything above absolute 0 gives off electromagnetic radiation. This is because accelerated charges produce radiation and anything with a temperature above 0K contains charged particles with changing velocities.

Second reason: When things get hot, atoms and molecules bump into each other. This excites the electrons into more energetic orbits and when they decay back into lower orbits, the excess energy is given off as discrete packets of electromagnetic radiation known as photons.

So, which is it? And if it is both, then in what way?

Bonus question: How is the black body spectrum continuous if quantum mechanics is discrete?

Could an H-bomb start fusion in its surroundings if exploded in a cloudy sky (and thereby cause more fusion to more of the surrounding clouds)?

Posted: 29 Sep 2019 10:00 PM PDT

Don't know if this the right place to ask this? Seeking on r/findareddit pointed me here.

Basically I wanted to know if its possible to start fusion reaction in a cloudy sky by exploding an H-bomb, and thereby causing more destruction to the land area right below the clouds (and far beyond). My gut tells me it's not possible, but couldn't find anything worthy on the internet to be sure.

Are electromagnetic waves getting weaker with distance in vacuum?

Posted: 29 Sep 2019 11:19 AM PDT

So does electromagnetic waves fade when they are travelling through vacuum?
Let's say we have point S (source point), A (10 units from source) and B (100 units from source).
At point S there is an AM transmitter that turns on and transmits on a certain frequency. At both point A and B there are AM receivers tuned to that frequency. Will the strength of this source signal be the same, regarding that distances between source are different for those two receivers?

What I mean - this EM wave generated by the transmitter is going in all directions from the source, forming a sphere and spreading through vacuum (at least that's the way I understand it). I also understand that those waves carry energy in some way (correct me if I'm wrong). As we get furtherer from the source there are more points where we can receive this wave (thus the energy it's carrying). So according to the law of conservation of energy this signal should be weaker on a greater distance because it spread on a bigger area.

But I guess that I got something horribly wrong in my way of thinking, so please show me where I made a mistake. Just to be clear, I've searched this on Google for a dozen of times but I couldn't find an answer.

Is the 'framerate' of our eyes greater in our peripheral vision compared to the 'frame rate' of our eyes more towards the center of our field of view?

Posted: 29 Sep 2019 02:54 AM PDT

I'm wondering if you would place a screen and play animations which have different frame rates (other parameters constant) would the frame rate of the animation at which you would perceive the animation as fluid be different to the frame rate if you would do the same experiment in the centre (or close to it) of your field of view.

Origin of the question: I was driving on public transport and noticed that the wheels of the car on the left of us, which was going at about the same speed, seemingly changed speed when I saw them at different angles of my field of view. Most noticeable was the change when the wheels were in my peripheral field of view. I tried multiple times.

The universe today is made of baryonic matter, dark matter and dark energy. How did they estimate the percentage of the universe that is made of dark energy?

We know that many particles travel at the speed of light, and sometimes I hear descriptions such as "these particle travel at roughly 0.5% of the speed of light" (paraphrasing, obviously). Do we know of any particles or phenomena that travel at, say. 50% of the speed of light, or some significant fraction?

Since HIV-infected patients have such high levels of antibodies, how does the virus make progress at all?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 08:21 PM PDT

My understanding of how HIV progresses is something like this (please correct me if I get something wrong):

Shortly after infection, patients experience flu-like symptoms for a few weeks. They feel better after that time because their body has produced a sufficient number of antibodies to prevent the virus from killing them. Untreated patients then feel fine for a long period of time (years or even decades) before developing opportunistic infections resulting from AIDS. These infections usually kill the patient within a few years.

My question is this: given that the human body seems to be capable of preventing the virus from destroying its host's immune system for several years, how does the virus make any progress? Why do the HIV-specific antibodies slow down the progression of the disease, but not stop it?

(Side note: With most viruses I'm familiar with, either the virus is eliminated or the host dies from the infection, with the main exception I can think of being the herpes virus. Does herpes stick around in the body for similar reasons? Or is this just a coincidence?)

How strong is the pull of the Vacuum of Space?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:07 PM PDT

A common cliche I've seen in space stories is the event of a breech in a ship's hull that leads to the empty vacuum of space and people have to hold on or get pulled through. My question is: How strong IS this pull? I feel it would be much stronger than what a normal human can resist with their bare hands. Does the size of a hole effect the pull or is it all the same pull? I would like to know the actual pull strength (if that's even measurable) of space's vacuum.

EDIT

As some people have pointed out, my use of the word "pull" should be "suction," as a vacuum doesn't pull so much as suck air out, which is what a person must fight to resist being sucked out into space. Also, in the question of pressure and air, it would say the conditions are identical as that found on the International Space Station.

Can pregnancy hormones make straight hair curly or curly hair straight - all the way to long ends and not just the new growth?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:01 PM PDT

I have been told and have also read many times that this is a possibility. But here is my problem with a blanket statement like that coming from a parenting article or my hair dresser: I understand that lots of things can change the shape of the hair follicle, which in turn changes the texture and curl pattern of the hair shaft. However, if a person already has longer hair ( mine, for example, is a few inches past my shoulders) I cannot understand how the shift in hormones under a less than one year time span, can affect the shape and texture of the hair shaft all the way to the bottom. New growth, yes. I can understand that. But now at 7 months pregnant, my hair is very wavy (about a 2B on the curl pattern chart) and is a shock to me and others who know me. But my thought is that it must have been leaning towards wanting to be wavy for years and I've only just decided to start encouraging the process and therefore, it has now seemingly sprung in to curls. Or, since the beginning of this pregnancy, the hormones have caused a shift in the shape of my hair follicle, therefore increasing the curl tendency in my new growth, which is helping to support the wave tendency in the rest of my long hair.

Is it possible for hormones to change curl structure all the way to the ends of hair which could have been growing for multiple years, and couldn't be affected by a hormonal change at the scalp in a short time period?

This is the most scientific article I could find on the topic, and it doesn't address the idea of long hair, just need growth from the follicle.

Is c÷(average wavelength) the same as the (average frequency) of a spectrum?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 01:00 PM PDT

So, I'm having a little trouble here. I want to know the average energy of the photons emitted by a LED. What I have is the graph of intensity by wavelength.

I know that each point in the graph is actually the intensity integrated over a small interval near that point (analogous to a displacement vs time graph where each point is the displacement during a small time interval around that time).

But say that instead of that I had an actual continuous power distribution function, a graph now analogous to a velocity vs time graph. I must integrate the function over an interval of λ to find the intensity on that interval.

I'll call that function i(λ) (lowercase 'i' because that's not an intensity now but rather a "density")

I want to convert it to a function i(f) in such a way that the integrated intensity over an equivalent interval is the same, in other words

i(f)df = i(λ)dλ

Once f = c/λ -> df = (-c/λ²)dλ -> i(f)*(-c/λ²)dλ = i(λ)dλ -> i(f) = -(λ²/c)i(λ)

So I might choose i(λ) = kλ for example. 'k' is a constant that will deal with the units. And I might choose an λ interval from a to b meters. The integral of i(λ) will be (k/2)(b²-a²)

The frequency-domain function will be i(f) = -kλ³/c = -kc²/f³

The primitive integral of of that function is (kc²/2)/f² + C. Integrating from c/a to c/b (the equivalent interval in the frequency domain) the the result is (kc²/2)*[1/(c/b)²-1/(c/a)²]= (kc²/2)*[b²-a²]/c²
= (k/2)(b²-a²)

This is the same result and shows that the the power distributions check - They give the same total intensity for the same interval. Being that, obviously, each function have different units once they have different domains, but the units of the integrated intensity will be the same.

Now for the average value of wavelength and frequency:

i(λ)*λ = kλ² -> integral over the interval a to b = (k/3)(b³-a³)

dividing by the integral intensity we have (k/3)(b²-a²)/[(k/2)(b³-a³)] -> λ(av) = (2/3)(b³-a³)/(b²-a²)

i(f)*f = -kc²/f² -> integral over the interval of c/a to c/b = kc(b-a)

dividing by the integral intensity we have kc(b-a) /[(k/2)(b³-a³)] -> f(av) = 2c(b-a)(b²-a²)

If I took λ(av) and found the equivalent frequency, I'd have c/λ(av) = c(3/2)(b²-a²)/(b³-a³), which is not the same as 2c(b-a)(b²-a²)

For example, choosing a=100 m and b=300 m ->
λ(av) = (650/3) m,
c/λ(av) = 1383657.50 Hz, and
f(av) = 1498962.29 Hz.

They are reasonably close to each other but not equal

Is that how it should be?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT

Hi Reddit, I am Kit Yates. I'm a senior lecturer in Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath. I'm here to dispel some rumours about my fascinating subject area and demonstrate how maths is becoming an increasingly important tool in our fight to understand biological processes in the real world.

I've also just published a new popular maths book called the Math(s) of Life and Death which is out in the UK and available to pre-order in the US. In the book I explore the true stories of life-changing events in which the application (or misapplication) of mathematics has played a critical role: patients crippled by faulty genes and entrepreneurs bankrupt by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice and the unwitting victims of software glitches. I follow stories of investors who have lost fortunes and parents who have lost children, all because of mathematical misunderstanding. I wrestle with ethical dilemmas from screening to statistical subterfuge and examine pertinent societal issues such as political referenda, disease prevention, criminal justice and artificial intelligence. I show that mathematics has something profound or significant to say on all of these subjects, and more.

On a personal note I'm from Manchester, UK, so it's almost a pre-requisite that I love football (Manchester City) and Music (Oasis were my favourite band). I also have two young kids, so they keep me busy outside of work. My website for both research and pop maths is https://kityates.com/

I'll be online from 8-9pm (GMT+1) on Saturday 28th September to answer your questions as part of FUTURES - European Researchers' Night 2019.

How does cocaine get into the hair structure through use and environmental exposure?

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:17 AM PDT

I'm reading an article that was published in Analytical Chemistry that discusses the current methodology for forensic hair drug analysis in Europe.

The Society of Hair Testing says that hair samples should be prepped with an organic solvent wash followed by aqueous washes to remove contaminants.

However, a 3-year-old paper discovered that if the hair is somehow contaminated with cocaine (I guess either through lab error or maybe the person goes to places where cocaine particulates/vapor is in the air) the cocaine will permeate throughout the hair and present like user hair.

The authors looked at the cross-section of hair with a MetA-SIMS (TRIFT II TOF-SIMS) and compared it with conventional methods (LC-MS/MS). The contamination wasn't removed in the washes with organic solvents and water according to the LC-MS/MS, it permeated throughout the hair according to the TOF-SIMS.

I'm trying to figure out 2 things. One: How does cocaine chemically enter the hair if you're a user? Two: If cocaine hydrochloride (cocaine a rich person might buy) is water soluble, why isn't it coming out in the water? Why is permeating the hair further? (However this is also true for cocaine base, or "crack" cocaine. Though I'm having issues determining solubility with crack cocaine.)

FWIW, hair is composed of mostly keratin. Keratin is helical due to hydrogen bondings and has sulfate groups due to cysteine. Hair also has minerals due to diet and water, and contains lipids (cocaine vapor is lipophilic).

I'm finding a lot of speculation online and I was hoping for some more concrete cocaine chemistry. Thanks in advance.
