That CAN'T be true! / Re: Would a hose held under water feel less force?
« on: 09/02/2018 05:43:46 »... if the rate of the water leaving the hose in both conditions is the same ...
I don't think that will be the case: air-resistance is trivial compared to water-resistance,
which will reduce flow from the hose, and consequently less reaction force.
There's also hydro-static force reducing flow from the hose,
( the deeper the hose is held underwater the greater that will be).

Science Experiments / Re: What makes this sulfonic acid spill move like this?
« on: 12/10/2017 22:19:13 »I found a spillage of sulfonic acid moving strangely. Does anyone know what caused it?

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Re: Has the Chicxulub crater location been moved by plate tectonics?
« on: 28/09/2017 08:25:21 »The Chicxulub crater formed nearly 66 million years ago. Is it surprising at all that the Chicxulub crater is still round enough today to be recognizable as a crater?
Continental-drift shifts the tectonic-plates more than squish them, so the circular-shape will be preserved.
Where was it located before plate tectonics moved it to where it is now?
