| Do heavier objects actually fall a TINY bit faster? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:47 PM PDT If F=G(m1*m2)/r2 then the force between the earth an object will be greater the more massive the object. My interpretation of this is that the earth will accelerate towards the object slightly faster than it would towards a less massive object, resulting in the heavier object falling quicker. Am I missing something or is the difference so tiny we could never even measure it? Edit: I am seeing a lot of people bring up drag and also say that the mass of the object cancels out when solving for the acceleration of the object. Let me add some assumptions to this question to get to what I'm really asking: [link] [comments]  |

| In a Mach Cone, how fast is the air moving away from the supersonic object? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:51 PM PDT https://i.imgur.com/yvAWTgd.png In this Schlieren image we see a bullet travelling at supersonic speed (V1) along the x-axis leaving a mach cone. The mach cone's pressure front travelling along the x-axis has a speed of V2, which is i suppose equal to the speed of the bullet. So, V2=V1. My question is, what is V3 at the boundary of the mach cone flowing away? Does it have a speed? Is it also equal to V1's mach number? Or is it travelling at the speed of sound away from it?

| How would one calculate where the earths gravity decreases? Posted: 07 Aug 2020 06:26 AM PDT I would assume objects below sea level experience a weaker g force than objects at sea level but I have only a rudimentary memory of calculus and can't figure iut how to prove this or how much this decreases by. I would assume cut the sphere into two pieces and act as though the entire mass is at the center point of each piece but I'm not positive on this. Can anyone verify or correct this?

| Numbers of N, Z, Q - are they really infinities of the same size? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:06 AM PDT In high school, we learnt abount infinities and their "sizes". That there are some smaller and bigger infinities. We learnt following: For finite sets it makes sense, of course. But, lets consider this: For finite sets it makes sense, of course. How can I tell, when some "method" (generally) can be used on finite sets, if that "method" can also be used for infinite sets? [link] [comments]  |

| Why does explosions or fireballs form cauliflower-like structure? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:25 AM PDT Explosions and fireballs of lets say liquid fuel forms a big fireball, but if you look at it, it is formed of countless of small protrusions and cauliflower like structures? Why is that? I understand heat, oxygen and fuel (or explosive matter) and their variances must cause this, but is there some scientific explanation for it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 01:25 PM PDT I'm having trouble visualizing this interaction. I'm sure I learned it in school, but I can't for the life of me remember. I can't think of anywhere this interaction is currently occurring off the top of my head. I'm presuming a continent size landmass just grinds the subduction process to a halt then collides with whatever is on the non-subbducting side ala India slamming into Asia? What about a smaller landmass? Say something the size of Madagascar or New Guinea? Is there a tectonic process of transferring middling landmasses from one large plate to another large plate without the plates merging? What about smallish islands, say from a hotsot, how do they survive interaction with a subduction zone, or do they? What happens if the continent is somehow on the plate being subducted under? Say, an Australia being subducted under an Indonesian-style volcanic arc. If that's even possible I assume there'd be some sort of minor orogeny and merger? [link] [comments]  |
| How rockets avoid space debris? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 06:03 AM PDT I recently saw some videos about space debris and how the earth space is full of them. So how space compannies avoid their rockets trom being hit from these debris? [link] [comments]  |
| Why doesn't the closeness of a lense to the surface improve the resolution ? Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:36 AM PDT I'm starting a course in histology and we are looking at resolution limit. Seems like the closest you get to the target the bigger the sine of the semiangle of aperture. How is it that it doesn't increase the NA, thus reducing RL ? [link] [comments]  |
