If my Physics teacher tells us mass is constant at all this year she's getting a word from me!

Now... Why isn't Mass constant? I kinda wanna know now.

We've not spoken about Investigations. I think I might do something with Soft Drinks..


Well you know the e=mc2 e=mc^2 , we basically got told that masses approaching the speed of light start to become heavier, and the equation becomes e=m1v2c2c2 e= \frac{m}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}c^2 , or effectively e=moc2 e=m_oc^2 it's really interesting!

Chemistry, I'm doing Higher Physics this year :smile: Although I hate it. Thought it'd be more Mathsy (Equations of Motions looks a little fun though)


Ahhh higher physics is a great course! Helps with unit 1 of chemistry haha! Everything iv done from unit 1 so far is revision :P

I will have a think and get back to you. I should probably remember...

We only have Every AH in 1 column.. 13 is like the biggest adv higher weve ever had :L my school does get a lot of bad rep though :/!

I think ours were only one column each, we were just a big school.

My shool has over 1200 pupils haha. Is that not pretty big :tongue:?

*Wishes I done Physics last year to understand this kinda'va*

The first 4/5 pages of my work book was revision from Standard Grade Physics. I think the first new thing was electronic configuration and how Electrons fill energy shells?

Our school only runs a few Advanced Highers. 7 I think and we're a similar size.

I dunno, we had about 200 in 6th year, so were a bit bigger than that, but all the AH classes at your school sound much smaller by comparison then!
Can I just say right now, don't do the tannin contents of tea for your investigation. So many bloody titrations!!! Absolute nightmare. So, yeah, word of warning.

Yeah I was thinking, I think there's 160 S6? And our classes are tiny :P!

I have to do chemistry at a different school and I think my teacher is really bad as he seems really slow. We're only on the thing where electrons move down orbitals to give of photons. What are you all at? maybe I think it's slow because I've done all of the physics stuff before?

I really wish I could do physics, I want to use cool formula's like that. But I had to choose between AH chemistry and Physics as I have to go to a different school to do it and doing both would be impractical :frown:

I wouldn't do that, bud. Higher Physics only steps into the realms of classical mechanics where mass is constant. The variance of mass only applies at relativistic speeds, as thingy majiger showed, as vcv\to c. :tongue:

No whinging from you, son. Mine only did one Advanced Higher: music.
No excuses. :tongue:

The what what at what applies to what?

Physics is quite fun... I like it.

Mass is constant for macroscopic things moving at normal speed. It changes when **** goes super fast.

That's not technically true and you know it:p:

I kinda got it :tongue: But now I think I can rule Physics out of what I wanna do in life permanantly... Chemistry's the best science anywho.

I want to confuse everyone. You're just lucky I didn't start going into 4D space-time:p:

You didn't. FOMaster did - don't know how I messed up that quote!

Sorry. <3
