I think the best way to understand both of these concepts, is to first move away from Newton's view of gravity and understand it from Einstein's perspective. Einstein's theory of gravity is general...

Just to point something out for anyone who passes by this thread, the "A+B" in the images is just referring to the fact that vector A and vector B have to be combined, and that when added appropria...

Hi Maia, I'm not sure exactly what is meant by the "acid reaction" or the base formula; I may have learned this slightly differently, but I'll go through how I was able to solve this (can't be that...

When you evaluate the binomial using Pascal's triangle, you have to remember to substitute the terms and their signs within parentheses. So, while the statement -p^0 = -1 is true, it is used incorr...

Hi e.davis.brown.  Did you remember to use the appropriate sign when evaluating the angle sum identity (eg, sin300 is negative, not positive)? Here's what I was able to get: cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - ...

If sin theta = 3/4, then theta = sin^-1(3/4) = 0.84806207898148... By the identity sin theta = sin(pi - theta), theta can also be 2.29353057460831... Even though neither answer can be written as a ...

Gravity doesn't warp spacetime.  Gravity is warped spacetime.  Mass causes spacetime to warp in its presence; therefore, mass gives rise to gravity. The familiar analogy that many use is the two-di...
