In previous circumstances, a known quantity of an ideal gas in moles ( n ) was shown to influence a volume of space in accordance with the Ideal Gas Law ( PV = nRT ). It is useful, however, to be able to determine the number of molecules ( N ) of a gas thatContinue reading “GAS LAWS: Boltzmann’s Constant”

MATHEMATICS: Binary Math and Digital Electronics
Write the numbers 8,4,2, and 1 in descending order. We will form binary numbers by choosing the numbers from this list that are needed to form the binary number wanted. Below, we will see how we use the number 1 to choose which number out of the ( 8,4.2,1 ) sequence is being used toContinue reading “MATHEMATICS: Binary Math and Digital Electronics”
ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values
Voltage, where V = IR, is the product of the current ( I ) of Amperes in an electrical circuit in units of coulombs per second ( q/s ), and resistance ( R ) in Ohms. Likewise, voltage is defined as the amount of energy in Joules ( J ) a coulomb of charge carriesContinue reading “ELECTRICITY: Kirchhoff’s Rules and Negative Current Values”
GAS LAWS: The Ideal Gas Law.
In general terms, E = mc^2 regards energy liberated when various types of subatomic collisions occur ( and typically dislodge a nucleus ), with m = mass ( kg ), and c = speed of light ( 3.0 * 10^8 m/s ). E/m = constant, and although different, a system in which gases undergo elasticContinue reading “GAS LAWS: The Ideal Gas Law.”
THE STOCK MARKET: Electric Vehicle and Drone Investing.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND DRONE INVESTING: Only 2% of vehicles are electric and autonomous. An even smaller percentage of drones are used for delivery and logistics purposes. The following companies may benefit from these trends. Zebra Technologies ( ZBRA ): ” Some warehouses are turning to autonomous vehicles to bring merchandise to sortation and packing areas.Continue reading “THE STOCK MARKET: Electric Vehicle and Drone Investing.”

THE STOCK MARKET: Selling Covered Call Options.
When the topic of options trading arises among most people, the topic discussed regards buying options in anticipation of a stock price moving in a predicted direction. If an options trader thinks the price of a stock will rise, s/he might purchase a ” call option “. A call option gives its owner the rightContinue reading “THE STOCK MARKET: Selling Covered Call Options.”
CHEMISTRY: What Quantity Does a Mole Describe?
CHEMISTRY 101: WHAT IS A ” MOLE “? HOW DOES THE QUANTITY DESCRIBED AS BEING A ” MOLAR ” QUANTITY CONNECT THE INVISIBLE SUBATOMIC WORLD TO THE VISIBLE WORLD? A balanced chemical equation is representative of a chemical reaction ( RXN ). For example, water is known to be made of two hydrogen ions +Continue reading “CHEMISTRY: What Quantity Does a Mole Describe?”
MATHEMATICS: Is The Earth Really Round?
Disclaimer: The earth, according to current mathematical models and observations, is not flat. ROUND-EARTH MATHEMATICS : In determining the rotational speed of the earth, we must first assume that the sun is positioned an exceptionally far distance from the earth. If this were not the case, snow, water, and complex biological life would be non-existent.Continue reading “MATHEMATICS: Is The Earth Really Round?”
ENERGY AND MOMENTUM: Artificial Gravity in a Spinning Spacecraft.
Q: A team of engineers is building a spaceship to go to Jupiter. Their design includes a gravity ring, a spinning section where (in the ring’s reference frame) astronauts are pushed outwards by the centrifugal force. In their current design, the ring has to spin once every ten seconds in order to provide the sameContinue reading “ENERGY AND MOMENTUM: Artificial Gravity in a Spinning Spacecraft.”
