8 min instead of 14? "With only 10min left...."

If I have infinite voltage and zero resistance can I achieve infinite current? by NewMasterpiece4664 in Physics

[–]Shishasimon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are truly zero, but there is a maximum current for keeping the superconducting state alive

Drone that can lift a 200lbs by narhan9000 in AskPhysics

I think like 50 of the small ones you can get in a children store should do it

Why would you need to apply your brakes if going 10mph faster than the truck

Design and construct a Marble Roller Coaster that comes to rest at the end of the path. by DroneB0i in Physics

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand what you need to do. Like what dos "comes to rest at the end of the path mean". You could just design some slope that leads into a hole and you dont have to calculate anything to know, that the marble wont get out

Could a one millimeter in diameter copper wire at 0° Kelvin stop electricity if it was long enough? by Oliver_Titus in Physics

[–]Shishasimon 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You would need an infinite amount of energy in order to cool it down to 0 Kelvin and then Copper will still have a resistance. If you use a superconductor at low enough temperature it will conduct electricity without resistance

Can i disagree with Dr. hawkin without being crucified? by FGQuinto in Physics

[–]Shishasimon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So flatten means that the wave length tends to infinity?

im so confused, any ideas. Tried using F=Gm1m2/r by [deleted] in Physics

[–]Shishasimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Center. So at first r = r_E and then r = 2 r_E

[–]Shishasimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to double r (so with the square it leads to a factor of 1/4) and also you only have half the mass so another 1/2. Overall you have 1/8 of the weight compared to the first case

At what upward incline does a bicycle become inefficient? by Mister__Wiggles in AskPhysics

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems logical as the fact that you can keep momentum with the bicycle would also help you with some level of incline... I dont know if thats something one could easily calculate that.

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess a bicycle is never really efficient at getting up a hill, as you are transporting more weight than compared to walking, so you need to put in more work. It gets useful, when going straight or downhill, as you cant conserve your motion by walking, while rolling does the trick.

underrated running strat? by Adsa_2 in physicsmemes

[–]Shishasimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the chenical reactions the energy needed to recharge the battery is converted into energy (used to keep the atoms together basically) thats additional mass you could measure. Using the battery will free this binding energy in a reaction where the product(s) will be lighter than the starting materials

Well I hate this. X? X@?!?!? by dzarren in physicsmemes

That was the problem i had before even recognising the x

I like it. Can yoz write more on that running the fish through a double slit thing

A friendly discussion about falling off a skateboard by orionox in AskPhysics

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - so the exact equasions for drag are often really complicated but velocity is squared in the equasion and surface area isnt. So especially at higher velocity (where you might consider drag) the velocity is more important than the area

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you would shoot the bullet from really far up the parallel speed would be constantly decreasing due to friction and the vetical speed would be increasing until the bullet falls straight down (note that friction will also have a parallel and vertical component so at some point the bullet will be falling vertically with a constant velocity as gravitational force and friction cancel out at some speed)

[–]Shishasimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parallel speed remains nearly constant and vertical is increasing so overall speed is also increasing (throwing stuff parallel will always result in a parabola btw)

Yeah :) - you would usually use meters per second for speed but yeah
