That CAN'T be true! / Re: Would a hose held under water feel less force?
« on: 09/02/2018 05:43:46 »
Quote from: chris on 02/02/2018 08:53:34
... 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).

It's the other way round : mental-illness makes people more likely to join a religious-cult in the first place.

Science Experiments / Re: What makes this sulfonic acid spill move like this?
« on: 12/10/2017 22:19:13 »
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 12/10/2017 15:21:10
I found a spillage of sulfonic acid moving strangely. Does anyone know what caused it?

If it's moving of its own accord, could be due to heating to near-boiling via an exothermic reaction.

The changes in hue reminded me of those oscillating chemical reactions ...

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Re: Has the Chicxulub crater location been moved by plate tectonics?
« on: 28/09/2017 08:25:21 »
Quote from: kazbert on 27/09/2017 21:44:24
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.

Quote from: kazbert on 27/09/2017 21:44:24
Where was it located before plate tectonics moved it to where it is now?
