How ice cubes react with salt water vs pure water [duplicate]
Originally, I thought that the sea salt water would naturally influence a faster melting period. However, when I conducted this experiment, that is not what occurred. I started with two clear cups of ...

Showing $D_\mu \Psi$ transforms as a spinor with the spin connection (Supergravity Exercise 7.25)
Exercise 7.25 in Freedman & Van Proeyen's Supergravity is the following
Show that $D_\mu \Psi$ also transforms as a spinor, namely into $\exp(− 1/4 \lambda^{ab}(x)\gamma_{ab}) D_\mu \Psi(x)$. You ...

How to find the equivalent resistor across a specific arrangement?
In the following image, I was wondering how could one calculate the equivalent resistor across A and B. Let's call that $R_{ab}$.
My confusion is how would I deal with the $R_{9}$ and $R_{10}$ ...

Angular momentum conservation for a rolling ball after an initial impulse
First a ball gets an impulse $J$. Why can we say that $$Jh = I_cm w,$$ when it is clear that the friction force is also acting around the CM of the ball. When balacing forces around the CM we see that ...

How would one find the speed at a point of a loop de loop in terms of kinematics and not energy? [closed]
I was talking with a prof about loop de loop problems and how they where usually solved in terms of energy when they mention that they could maybe be solves in terms of kinematics but that they’d ...
