    What major events have led to our current understanding of the universe?

    Galileo's invention of the lens telescope Newton's discovery of the laws of motion and his invention of the reflecting telescope. Hubble's discovery of galaxies to name but 3 of thousands.

    physics analogue electronics help?

    Op amps can be connected as either an inverting or non-inverting amplifier. The gain is the output/input amplification factor. The inverting gain is -R2/R1 where R2 is the feed back resistor and R1 is the input resistor so if R1 = 100 ohms and R2 = 1k ohms gain = - 10 . the negative sign means...

    trees take ages to grow back. Plus we will never replace the amazon...

    They do take time and I get very depressed by the deforestation of the Amazon - but I did see a report earlier this year that showed a large area (several suare miles) that had been burned down for planting crops 25 years ago and then had been left when the company went bust - it showed it now...

    HELP PLEASE! PHYSICS !?

    20 - A - the ocean - far more energy because of the huge mass 24 - B . temp increaseswont necessarily change state unless it is close to boiling already and it will already be losing heat to its surroundings assuming it was hotter to start with 25 A .- increases - would only remain the same if...

    A sports car & a bus are both travelling at 30km/h.W/c of the 2 will require more...

    The force depends on the momentum ( mass x velocity) . Momentum depends on the mass The bus has more mass therefore more momentum - therefore takes more force/energy to stop.

    Another Physics Question?

    Power is the rate of doing work = work /time = joules per second Assuming no loss due to efficiency motor will do 14kj of work per second weight = mass x gfs gfs is approx 10N/kg weight of lift = 11000N = 11kN force acting down work = force x distance lift can travel a distance of work/force =...

    is studying physics worthwhile when it seems we're just finding turtles all the way

    That's what makes it interesting - just when you think you have got everything sussed along comes something else to amaze you.
