  • Did Newton know Quantum Mechanics?

    My insight of the day. Quantum Mechanics makes Newton’s Law consistent in its two forms. Otherwise they would be inconsistent. So Newton knew some QMech. He knew 1. F=ma=mdv/dt and 2. F=dp/dt. These two are consistent in a framework where wave-particles are central. Because F=ma corresponds to particles and F=dp/dt corresponds to waves. I will…

  • A Question a Day (series) Q3

    The equation v = a*del_t is sometimes used to find velocity when acceleration and time are known. Another form of this equation is v = v_0 + a*del_t. In this second form of the equation, the function of the term v_0 is to: A. indicate that the equation is valid only for an object that…

  • A Question a Day (series) Q2

    1. A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. What is the instantaneous vertical velocity of the ball when it is 5.1 m above the release point? (g = 9.8 m/s^2) A. 0.2 m/s B. 6.6 m/s C. 10 m/s D. 17 m/s

  • Gravity warps space-time.

    Gravity warps space-time.

    Since flat space-time can be thought of in Newtonian mechanics as an absence of force or potential of gravity, the presence of such forces is ipso-facto a curvature of space and time, therefore space-time. Thats just another two lines to prove what I claimed, ideally and intuitively. ” eg when earth occupies the space-time around…
