The velocity vector V1 has a magnitude of 5.0 m/s and is directed along the +x-axis. The velocity vector V2 has a magnitude of 4.0 m/s. The sum of the two is V3, so that V3 = V1+V2 Either True or false : The magnitude of V3 can be 9.0 m/s The x-component of V3 can be 5.0 m/s The magnitude of V3 can be -6.0 m/s The magnitude of V3 can be 5.0 m/s The magnitude of V3 can be 10.0 m/s The magnitude of V3 can be 0.0.

Following on Jim Graber's answer to: Can "big rip" rip apart an atomic nucleus?
If the cosmological constant is large enough, even the ground state of a hydrogen atom can be affected. So why is the energy scale for quantum gravity set by the planck mass and not by the cosmological constant? Is it because the cosmological constant can be associated with other theories (inflatons, or vacuum energies of the matter fields, etc.) and thus is just considered an ingredient and not gravity itself? If this does come down to a semantics issue, I'd still be interested to hear if the scale set by the cosmological constant suggests we may be able to see interesting quantum effects at that scale depending on what the cosmological constant 'is'.

The position of a particle moving along the x axis is given in centimeters by x = 9.93 + 1.47 t3, where t is in seconds. Calculate (a) the average velocity during the time interval t = 2.00 s to t = 3.00 s;(b) the instantaneous velocity at t = 2.00 s; (c) the instantaneous velocity at t = 3.00 s; (d) the instantaneous velocity at t = 2.50 s; and (e) the instantaneous velocity when the particle is midway between its positions at t = 2.00 s and t = 3.00 s.

Consider an animal like a horse. Now scale its neck longer and longer.
How can a giraffe, or even worse a huge dinosaur, raise its neck without the tendons snapping? The dinosaur case in particular seems ridiculous. Is there a "physics trick" the animals use to make this more manageable? Or does the tendon tension not scale as badly as my intuitiion is claiming?

In the electron gun of a TV picture tube the electrons (charge ?e, mass m) are accelerated by a voltage V. After leaving the electron gun, the electron beam travels a distance D to the screen; in this region there is a transverse magnetic field of magnitude B and no electric field.
Find the approximate deflection of the beam due to this magnetic field. (Hint: Place the origin at the center of the electron beam

I was doing some reading on wikipedia and found it interesting that one page says the Grand Canonical Ensemble does not allow for exchange of particles, however another page says it does. So I went on google books and tried to look for a more trust worthy source, again the same happens one source says it allows the other says it doesn't so which is it?
Book that says it does allow exchange: http://www.scribd.com/doc/52426748/46/Grand-Canonical-Ensemble
Another that says it isn't allowed: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5sd9SAoRjgQC&pg=PA62&dq=grand+canonical+ensemble+exchange+particles&hl=en&ei=hL6oTZ2THc_p4wbEh-3DCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=grand%20canonical%20ensemble%20exchange%20particles&f=false
What gives?

Two cars, A and B, travel in a straight line. The distance of A from the starting point is given as a function of time by xA(t)=?t+?t2, with ?=2.60m/s and ?=1.20m/s2. The distance of B from the starting point is xB(t)=?t2??t3, with ?=2.80m/s2 and ?=0.20m/s3.

A doughnut contains about 280 Calories. (Note: These are "food" Calories.) After eating this doughnut, you decide to compensate by taking the stairs instead of using the elevator. If each stair has a height of 18 cm, how many stairs must you climb to compensate for the doughnut? Assume all the energy in the doughnut can be converted to mechanical energy. (Take 75 kg as the mass of a typical person.)
