| Does a listening to a radio broadcast weaken the signal? Posted: 07 Oct 2017 06:38 AM PDT I use broadcast signal as an example of a non-rival good when teaching economics. And on a reasonable scale it is non rival: one person listening to a station does not make the signal weaker. But what about micro/nano scale: does tuning a receiver to a station consume the signal in any way? I understand about the signal being absorbed by physical barriers, but does this increase if we choose to consume the signal? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Oct 2017 02:45 PM PDT I'm not entirely sure about the different between a rocket engine's specific impulse and its thrust. But more importantly, I want to understand how these two parameters affect the performance of a rocket. How and why is a rocket with high specific impulse and low thrust different from a rocket wit low specific impulse and high thrust (but equal power?) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2017 07:27 AM PDT Recently I saw an article dating 2014 saying that WADA had banned the use of Xenon and Argon then I saw a 2017 article saying there's still no test for either of them from what I've read athletes, mainly long distance runners and cyclists inhale the gas and it enhances their performance but how? My understanding is that both are inert/noble gases which means they are unreactive so how do they enhance performance Edit: Thanks for all the replys I have a good understanding of it now [link] [comments]  |
| Could the ITER be used to manufacture lithium? Posted: 07 Oct 2017 02:47 AM PDT As we know, lithium ion batteries have become indispensable to modern life. I recently saw a documentary which featured a guy who had invented a new type of battery - the electrolyte was plastic, so it was much safer than lithium ion, and he could therefore use solid lithium as one of the electrodes, so it also had a much higher energy density. It seemed to be all improvements with no drawbacks, except one (not brought up by the presenter) - if they became popular it would massively increase world lithium consumption, which is already straining production. So I thought - lithium is the third element on the periodic table, it may be a common fusion product. The biggest fusion project currently underway is ITER in France - this is an experimental device and not intended for power production. But could it just be used to churn out lithium instead?

| Can someone explain "resonance continuum"? Posted: 06 Oct 2017 09:40 AM PDT Taken from the ACS Organometallics Vol 28 In the Introduction, it discusses the "resonance continuum".
Is the passage trying to state that the molecules are indeed resonance structures? Or is it that they aren't but just resemble each other when drawn in a 2D format? [link] [comments]  |

| How does a ferromagnetic rod lose energy through hysteresis when in a magnetic field? Posted: 06 Oct 2017 08:45 PM PDT I understand that there will be a torque applied to the rod such that the magnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. Although is this system losing energy in the form of mechanical energy from something simple such as friction with a material that is in contact with the rotating ferromagnetic rod? Or is there friction intrinsic in the ferromagnetic material due to different domains in the rod having domains with different directions of magnetization; thus domains are rotating in different directions (i.e. not necessarily parallel), and losing energy via heat/self-friction from its own domains even if the ferromagnetic rod was to be exposed to the magnetic field in a vacuum?

| Posted: 06 Oct 2017 09:02 AM PDT Hi guys, I play Space Engineers, which is an early access multiplayer sandbox-survival game. Also it's a space sim but barely - it simulates planetary gravity that decreases with distance7. How does this affect the trajectory of satellites that move around these planets? I know that the real distance2 gives (using the Newtonian model) conic sections for orbits, but how do things look when this exponent changes? [link] [comments]  |

| Are reaction mechanisms very simplified? (Details in text.) Posted: 06 Oct 2017 06:13 PM PDT Do very commonly accepted (as in very commonly accepted by the scientific community to be highly likely to be what happens at the molecular level in the real reaction after enough ruling out of alternatives mechanisms by probability/impossibility and evidence towards the mechanism come up) reaction mechanisms, especially named, like Aldol Condensation, SN2, Fischer Esterification, SN1, Wittig, E2, Mannich, Aldol Addition, Michael, E1, etc. have some sort of large simplifications, as to comparing to what happens in the real life reaction at the molecular level, or are they essentially what is really happening at the molecular level in their corresponding reaction? This is mainly referring to what bonds are being broken and formed in the steps chronologically in the pathway, disregarding the reversibility, as that is just shuffling the pathway back and forth, partial and formal charges, intermediates and their structures, and major transition states. These "simplifications" don't count things like showing H+ instead of an acid itself or protonated solvent molecule like in reality, showing curved arrows for the movement of electrons instead of colliding/contacting orbitals/clouds of electron probability like in reality, the reversibility of steps in mechanisms, solvent affects, lines being used to represent bonds instead of overlapping orbitals like in reality, etc. as all these listed things and on can easily be inferred by the person looking at the mechanism or are even often shown/hinted at in the mechanism, like reversibility.
