  1. Time gets faster the closer you are to the atom's center? What do you mean by this? Write that as an equation, and include how you got there.
  2. Could you also summarize the mathematics?
  3. If [latex]t=\frac{\tau}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}[/latex], time would speed up as v approaches c, which it doesn't. If T is proper time, your equation would be correct.
  4. What will happen to my tutorials?

      I don't know, I was just wondering.

      But, will the tutorisls be moved or anything?

  5. You need to scroll down until you see it.
  6. No. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/relativ/gratim.html That is the equation for proper time. If that was the relative time, time would go faster, not slower.
  7. Can you show us a picture of the rocks?
  8. Everyone has the ability to do physics math. Just keep trying, and you will succeed.
  9. The actual final tutorial will be on line integrals. Part 16. Line Integrals With line integrals, x and y are coordinates on a curve C. First, we must parametrize the curve, i.e [latex]x=g(t)[/latex] and [latex]y=h(t)[/latex]. The parametrized curve will be written as a vector function [latex]r(t)=g(t)i + h(t)j[/latex]. It is also assumed to be smooth. When a curve is smooth, [latex]r(t)[/latex] is continuous and never 0 for any value of t. When you have a function f(x, y) along a curve C, the line integral is [latex]\int_C f(x, y) \ ds = \oint f(x, y) \ ds[/latex] The ds means that the integral is with respect to the arc length, not x or y. In parametric form, [latex]ds = \sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^2}dt[/latex] Rewriting the equation in parametric form gives us: [latex]\oint f(x, y) \ ds = \int_a^b f(g(t), h(t)) \sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^2}dt[/latex] Because [latex]\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right) ^2 + \left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right) ^2}=\left|\left|\frac{dr}{dt}\right|\right|[/latex] we obtain the equation for the line integral: [latex]\oint f(x, y) \ ds = \int_a^b f(g(t), h(t))\left|\left|\frac{dr}{dt}\right|\right|dt[/latex] For example, we will work out the line integral from 2 to 6 of f(x, y) = x2 + y2, where x = cos(t) and y = sin(t). For this integral, [latex]\left|\left|\frac{dr}{dt}\right|\right|=\sqrt{1-2sin^2(t)}[/latex] and [latex]f(g(t), h(t))=sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)=1[/latex] The integral now becomes [latex]\int_2^6 \sqrt{1-sin^2(t)} \ dt[/latex] The antiderivative of this function is [latex]\frac{tan(t)}{\sqrt{tan^2(t)+1}}[/latex] Evaluating the antiderivative gives us [latex]\int_2^6 \sqrt{1-sin^2(t)} \ dt=0.63[/latex] We can also find line integrals of piecewise smooth curves. A piecewise smooth curve is a smooth curve made up of parts. The line integral for a piecewise smooth curve is: [latex]\oint f(x, y) \ ds = \sum \int_C f(x, y) \left|\left|\frac{dr}{dt}\right|\right| dt[/latex] i.e it is the sum of it's parts. Part 17. Line Integrals with Respect to x and y Line integrals can also be taken with respect to x or y. Because [latex]dx=\frac{dx}{dt} dt[/latex] and [latex]dy=\frac{dy}{dt}dt[/latex] We can definite the line integral with respect to x or y as [latex]\oint f(x, y) dx = \int_a^b f(x(t), y(t))\frac{dx][dt}dt[/latex] and [latex]\oint f(x, y) dy=\int_c^d f(x(t), y(t)) \frac{dy}{dt}dt[/latex] For example, we will work out the integral from 6 to 9 of f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 where x=sin(t) and y=cos(t). f(x, y) becomes 1, leaving us with [latex]\int_6^9 cos(t) dt[/latex] The antiderivative of the function is -sin(t). Evaluating this gives us [latex]\int_6^9 cos(t) dt=-0.69[/latex] That concludes the tutorial on integral calculus. What will happen to these tutorials?
  10. One possible way would be to use a black hole. We would need to orbit around the black hole at a velocity of [latex]\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r - R_s}}[/latex] We would also need to find the time dilation. Because it is in orbit, time would be dilated by a factor of [latex]\sqrt{1-\frac{3R_s}{2r}}[/latex]. Another way is to use circular motion. The only problem is that most substances will not be able to sustain the centripetal acceleration of [latex]\gamma ^3 \frac{mv^2}{r}[/latex] at relativistic speeds. The only thing we need is enough energy for relativistic speeds, which will be a problem. The energy required to achieve relativistic speeds is [latex]mc^2\gamma - mc^2[/latex]. It will be very hard to find an energy source providing this much energy.
  11. Thanks! We will need a very efficient energy source in order to get objects near light speed. Circular motion would also work, if we has materials string enough to sustain the centripetal force of [latex]\gamma^3 \frac{mv^2}{r}[/latex].
  12. Time travel into the past is impossible. The positron is just something that behaves the opposite of the electron. It doesn't mean it is time travel into the past. In special relativity, the equation for relative time is [latex]t=\tau \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}[/latex] We don't use the actual velocity, but we use the relative velocity. The relative velocity would be velocity respect to another observer. If the other observer had velocity u, and you had an actual velocity of v', your velocity relative to them and their velocity relative to you would be [latex]v=\frac{v'+u}{1+\frac{v'u}{c^2}}[/latex] The effects of special relativity only take effect at velocities comparable to the speed of light. At everyday velocities, the effects of special relativity are very small. In gravitational fields, [latex]t=\tau \sqrt{1-\frac{R_s}{r}}[/latex] in a Schwarzschild space-time. The effects are negligible for everyday life, as we don't change our distance from the center of the earth very much. Time travel is impossible in everyday circumstances.
  13. Do you have mathematics to support your idea?
  14. Speed is not a force. In order to challenge science, you first need a mathematical proof of why it is wrong. You will also need scientific evidence to support your hypothesis.
  15. This is the last tutorial on integral calculus. If I forgot to do a tutorial on anything in integral calculus, remind me, but if not, this will be the final integral calculus tutorial. I will also provide practice problems upon request. If anyone wants more tutorials, I will make them. I have lots of time for tutorials, so time will not be a problem. Part 15: Surface area/ Surface volume of functions in n dimensions We will start off in 3 dimensions just for simplicity. To find the surface area, we have to integrate each infinitesimal area over the entire region, i.e [latex]A=\int_a^b dA[/latex]. This is equal to the double integral over the infinitesimal length [latex]\int_a^b \int_c^d ds[/latex] because [latex]\int_c^d ds = dA[/latex]. In 3 dimensions, ds is given by [latex]ds = \sqrt{dx^2+dy^2+dz^2}[/latex] which is equivalent to [latex]\sqrt {1+\left(\frac{dz}{dx}\right)^2+\left(\frac{dz}{dy}\right)^2} dxdy[/latex] Inserting the value of ds gives us the equation for the surface area of a function z=f(x, y): [latex]A=\int_a^b \int_c^d \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dz}{dx}\right)^2+\left(\frac{dz}{dy}\right)^2}dxdy[/latex] This can be generalized to n dimensions by saying [latex]S=\int_a^b \int_c^d \int_e^f... \sqrt{1+\left(\frac{df}{dx}\right)^2+\left(\frac{df}{dy}\right)^2+\left(\frac{df}{dz}\right)^2...\left(\frac{df}{dx_n}\right)^2} dxdydz...dx_n[/latex] Where S is the n surface area/volume of the function in n-1 dimensions. For example, we will work this integral out when a = 6, b = 12, c = 4, and d = 7 of the function [latex]f(x, y)=\sqrt x + \sqrt y[/latex] The square of the partial derivative of f with respect to x or y will be x when taken with respect to x and y when taken with respect to y. This now becomes [latex]\int_6^{12} \int_4^7 \sqrt{1+x+y} dx dy[/latex] The second antiderivative is [latex]\frac{4(x+y+1)^{\frac{5}{2}}}{15}[/latex] and evaluating this expression for the surface area gives us A = 370.011408631 That concludes the tutorial on integral calculus. Remember, if you need any help with this, you can just ask our calculus forum.
  16. Part 14. Integrals over n dimensions Let's start with a function z = f(x, y). To find the volume under this region, we need to have 2 limits of this integral, an x limit and a y limit. Because of this, we must integrate over both the x and y regions. Since we integrate over 2 regions, we have to integrate with respect to 2 variables, x and y. This is called a double integral. Therefore, the volume under a function f(x, y) is: [latex]V=\int_a^b \int_c^d f(x, y) dx dy[/latex] If you are finding the volume between 2 areas, you would use the equation: [latex]V=\int_a^b \int_c^d f(x, y) - g(x, y) dx dy[/latex] since you would be finding the difference between 2 volumes. In order to calculate definite integrals, we need to first find the antiderivative with respect to all the variables. In this case, there are 2 possible orders it can be done in: You could do it with respect to x first, hen y, or take the antiderivative with respect to y, then x. There are n! possible ways you could find the antiderivative, where n is the number of dimensions you are integrating over. I will take all antiderivatives in multiple dimensions in the order of the variables, just to avoid confusion. After the antiderivative is found, we need to evaluate it at x = d and y = b and then subtract from the antiderivative evaluated at x = c and y = a. For example, we are going to compute [latex]\int_1^3 \int_5^9 e^{xy} + sin(7x+2y) - 4xy dx dy[/latex] The antiderivative of this function (not including C) is [latex]\frac{e^{xy}}{xy} - x^2 y^2 - \frac{cos(7x+2y)}{14xy}[/latex]. Substituting the values of the limits and evaluating gives us our answer: [latex]V = 19705489659[/latex] This can be extended to n dimensions. Generally, the n volume over an n dimensional region is: [latex]V_n = \int_a^b \int_c^d \int_e^f ... f(x, y, z... x_n) dx dy dz... dx_n[/latex] Our next tutorial will be on the surface area of functions in n dimensions. Remember, if you need any help with this, you can just ask our calculus forum.
  17. Part 13. Surface Areas of Solids of Revolution To find the surface area of a solid of revolution, we must sum all of the infinitesimal areas [latex]dA[/latex] among the length of the solid, written as [latex]A=\int_a^b dA[/latex]. The infinitesimal dA is the circumference times ds, i.e [latex]dA=Cds[/latex] where C is the circumference and s is length. The circumference is [latex]2\pi y[/latex], making [latex]A_s=2 \pi \int_a^b y ds[/latex] when we plug in the value of C. Since [latex]ds=\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}dx[/latex], we plug in the value of ds, giving us the equation for surface area of a solid of revolution: [latex]A_s=2\pi \int_a^b y\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}dx[/latex] If it is rotated about the y axis, it will be: [latex]A_s=\int_a^b x\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{dx}{dy}\right)^2}dy[/latex] Our next tutorial will be on double integrals. Remember, if you need any help with this, you can just ask our calculus forum.
  18. All creationists are religious, but not all religious people are creationists. Your question depends on the meaning of creaionists.
  19. Looking at my old SFN posts. Why was I such an idiot...

      Endercreeper, the trick here is to learn from why your theories got questioned. The poor responses to the questions is what led to them being locked. All of us have ideas that aren't right -- it is how we react to those errors that is really important. And learning from the errors.

    3. Endercreeper01

      Endercreeper01

      The theory was a long time ago. It wasn't my poor responses, it was how you didn't respond well. Besides, the theories were not what I was referring to. You don't know if my theory was right or wrong, but you had an opinion it was wrong. I had an opinion that it was right. You can't pass off opinions as facts.

      No, Endercreeper, it was your poor responses that got them closed. Bignose put a lot of effort into trying to help you out in those threads and as he said, you should try to learn from where you went wrong and move on. Being stubborn and not accepting responsibility for when you may be at fault won't get you anywhere.

  20. That concludes the 2 dimensional part of our tutorial. We will move on to 3 dimensions. Part 12. Volumes of Solids of Revolution A solid of revolution is simply a function wrapped around an axis. In order to get the volume, we need to sum all of the infinitesimal volumes from x = a to x = b. Each infinitesimal volume is represented by [latex]dV=A(x) dx = A(y) dy[/latex], where A is area and V is volume, and it can be taken with respect to dx or dy. We will have to do an integral, which can be written as [latex]V=\int_a^b A(x) dx=\int_c^d A(y) dy[/latex], where a and b are the limits for the x axis, and c and d are the limits for the y axis. Because each cross-sectional area is circular, we can define the cross sectional areas as being [latex]A=\pi r^2[/latex]. The radius would be f(x) if you are finding A(x) and f(y) if you are finding A(y), so we can write this as [latex]A(x)=\pi f^2(x)[/latex] and [latex]A(y) = \pi f^2(y)[/latex], depending on which axis the function is wrapped around. The radius is the original function because the function is rotated, and it is rotated among each function value. Therefore, the radius will be the original function. This is only if the solid of revolution is not the result of wrapping the difference in 2 functions around an axis. It would still be considered a solid of revolution if you have f(x) (or f(y)) and g(x) (or g(y)) and you wrap the change between them around an axis. In that case, [latex]A=\pi (f^2(x) - g^2(x)[/latex], since it would be the difference in the cross sectional areas of f(x) and g(x), and this is the same for f(y). This gives us the equation for volume of a solid of revolution: [latex]V = \pi \int_a^b f^2(x) - g^2(x) dx = \pi \int_c^d f^2(y) - g^2(y) dy[/latex] For example, we will work out the volume from 2 to 9 of [latex]f(x)=e^{5x+7}[/latex] and [latex]g(x) = 0[/latex]. In this case, the square of this function will be [latex]e^{10x+14}[/latex]. Using u substitution, we find that the volume is [latex]\frac{\pi}{10}e^{10x+14}[/latex] evaluated from x = 9 to x = 2. Our final answer for the volume is that V = 1.2204033 x 1039 units3 Our next tutorial will be on the surface area of solids of revolution. Remember, if you need any help with this, you can just ask our calculus forum.
  21. To learn calculus, you should have an understanding of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus. For derivatives, you mainly need to understand limits, functions, trigonometry, and slope. For integrals, you mainly need an understanding of geometry and everything required for derivatives. You also need an understanding of derivatives themselves for integration.
  22. I will now be able to continue posting tutorials. I now have more free time then I did before, so now I will continue to make tutorials. Part 11. Area Between Two Curves Today, you will learn about the area between two curves. If you had 2 functions f(x) and g(x), you can determine the area between them by finding the difference between the top function area and the bottom function area, i.e [latex]\int_a^b (f(x) - g(x)) dx[/latex], since the integral distributes to both f(x) and g(x). Because it distributes, it is the same as the integral over the top function minus the integral over the integral over the bottom function. For example, we will work out the area between ex and x2 from 3 to 7. First, we have to determine the integral. The integral becomes [latex]\int_3^7 (e^x - x^2) dx[/latex]. We find that this will be [latex]e^x - \frac{1}{3}x^3[/latex] at x = 7 minus this value at x = 3. This is because the antiderivative (not including the constant of integration) of ex is ex, and this minus the antiderivative of x2 will be [latex]e^x - \frac{1}{3}x^3[/latex]. Working this out, we find that this is about 971 square units. In the next tutorial, you will learn about the volumes of solids of revolutions. Remember, if you need any help with this, you can just ask our calculus forum.
  23. Also, I might not post tutorials as often because of school, as school gives me less time to post tutorials. I will still post tutorials, just not as often.
  24. Even though the light interacts with molecules, it doesn't mean the actual speed changes, and that was my point. The speed must be constant at all times, so the reason for the delay is because of the light interacting. The speed of light is c = λf, and the wavelength gets smaller because the frequency gets higher. Wavelength is c/f, so the frequency must increase to make up for this shortened wavelength.
  25. Light only travels at different speeds through a medium because if we think of light as a particle. It is bouncing off all these different molecules, but it still travels at the speed of light while doing so. The only reason for this change in speed is that as it is bouncing around, it takes longer to get from one end to the other as a result of that. The speed in the direction of motion will always be c. As for why c will always be the same, it is because it is the maximum speed. Because the speed of light is the maximum speed, you can't go faster then c, or else it would not be the fastest speed.
