Sorry, I didn't think that you were the same poster - I thought you were just someone else giving an erroneous answer to the original question. Now I see the context, there's nothing wrong with your post. My mistake.

The point of OP's question was that the energy cannot be dissipated to the environment like it can with any terrestrial object, so your reply doesn't answer the question.

However your answer is still correct as the ordered motion of vibrations do break down into disordered vibrations; heat.

Consider an object falling towards a planet.

You start with potential energy. The potential energy does not become a force. The force is gravity. Nothing has to "become" gravity, that's nonsense. The potential energy becomes kinetic energy as the force of gravity acts upon the object. Saying forces become energies or vice versa is invalid.

Any further objections will be considered trolling.

Energy doesn't become a force when it does work. It becomes a different type of energy.

>100 replies to any /sci/ thread as long as its not an actual non-troll science thread.

>Is there a way to turn the kinetic energy of the vibrations into, i dunno, centripetal force

You put the lid back on, after you let the pressure equalise. Sorry.

Why does a bottle of coke cool down in the fridge much faster if you first open the bottle (even without taking any)?

Science has nothing to say about if a person should care about passing on their genes or not. There's certainly no way you can say someone is a loser for not being reproductively successful. That's not science in the slightest.

I will definitely be watching the recordings afterwards.

He's sexy and I generally approve of all educators unless there's a specific reason not to.

False dichotomy. I am a very smart person and I never troll. Any answers?

>>1169753
Yes?

How exactly does the "relative probability" work - how did they work out the relativity probability, what's it relative to, why is there more than one line in each case?

Would make a lot more sense to me if they just put the absolute probability on that axis.

Magnitude but no direction is a scalar. Temperature, energy, frequency...

Direction but no magnitude is impossible accord to my intuition. That's like saying "I am going to walk 0 meters east". The direction is meaningless without magnitude.

I'm gay and I agree completely. It's the most disgusting thing. Especially when women squirt, it makes me feel nauseous. I'd say that's a sign you're gay (or asexual if not into men?), but you know better than me. =)

The study is about how the minority of LGBT engineers are ostracised. That doesn't support the position expressed on /sci/ in the slightest...

Why the hell would a mechanical engineer need to be aware of the HUP?

I made the question less ambiguous.

Stranger: hi
You: If an astronaut on the moon drops his or her pen, will it:
A) Float away;
B) Remain floating where it was dropped;
C) Fall to the surface of the moon?
Stranger: c
You: Good job

1 out of 1

You: If an astronaut on the moon drops his or her pen, will it:
A) Float away
B) Remain floating where it was dropped
C) Fall to the surface of the moon?
Stranger: you again!!! i'll try b this time

You: If an astronaut on the moon drops his or her pen, will it:
A) Float away
B) Remain floating where it was dropped
C) Fall to the surface of the moon?
Stranger: D
You: Pick one please
Stranger: A
You: Is that your real answer this time?
Stranger: Yes.
You: Ok thanks
You: It's actually C
Stranger: What about gravity?
You: I should be asking you that question
Stranger: Indeed you should.

1 of 3.

You: If an astronaut on the moon drops his or her pen, will it:
A) Float away
B) Remain floating where it was dropped
C) Fall to the surface of the moon?
Stranger: b :)?
Stranger: wait
Stranger: why has he got a pen?
You: Space pen
You: For making notes
Stranger: loool, okay b.
You: It's C =)
Stranger: :O no way
You: Yep, the Moon has gravity too. It'll fall a bit slower than on Earth though, because the Moon isn't as big.
You: Cya

Good to know they're only posting the ones that get it wrong, then. That makes me feel better.

Of course OP doesn't think that, OP is a troll and you are a moron for replying without saging.

It's a force because it causes objects to change their momentum. Anything that can do that is a force by definition.
