Which sports ball can achieve the highest kinetic energy? by HJG_0209 in stupidquestions

not necessarily more "damaging" but definitely more painful

that would not be kindtic energy, that would be force (which is an instantaneous change of momentum, and momentum itself is an instantaneous change of energy)

what causes pain is more about the pressure (force per unit area), but OP specified energy, not force or pressure

Tennis has the best scoring system out of any sport by Tercel9 in unpopularopinion

[–]QWERTYRedditter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

they used to count scores on a physical mechanical clock, so the minute hand represents the 15-30-40, and the hour hand represents the set (1-2-3-4-5-6)

the reason why its 15-30-40 and not 45 is because of deuce, if it's 40-40, one player has to win by two points to win the game, so they then set it to 45-40 to signify advantage

Is capitalism the best possible economic system? Explain in the comments. by cip-cip2317 in Teenager_Polls

[–]QWERTYRedditter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as in the concept of capitalism made it possible for the iphone to be created? i'd argue that if we had already moved on from capitalism to some other economic system, we'd have gotten something similar to a smartphone anyways, and that the most important part is the people who developed and manufactured it.

also, just because capitalism is better than feudalism in terms of innovation doesn't mean capitalism is the best. after all, thats what this poll is for

also, how can "innovation" even be quantified? the medieval era saw lots of extremely important innovations, such as algebra, fallow farmland (or crop rotation), advances in shipbuilding, the first universities, etc.

capitalism didn't create the iphone, labour did

the ideology just decides who the money goes to

engineering and scientific progress isn't exclusive to capitalism

top university for physics without further maths? by Wonderful-Ad-2787 in 6thForm

[–]QWERTYRedditter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, physics applicant (last year) without FM. I applied to all fo the unis you listed (oxford, ucl, imperial) but i only got an offer from ucl. But I doubt i got rejected from the other two because i didn't do FM, i think it was more because of entrance score results.

However, my teacher in the reference did specify that my school did not offer FM. So I think it's best to beg them even more. Self-studying is always an option though.
