CREATING FROM NOTHING

   

     We know the conservation of energy, mass, and momentum are cornerstones of science.  We have studied the 'Law of conservation of angular momentum' in school physics.  It also holds some surprising facts.  We will see them now.
     Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.  Angular momentum is the product of the 'moment of inertia' and angular velocity.  The moment of inertia plays the role of mass in a circular motion.  It is roughly the product of rotating mass and its distance from the axis of rotation.

Hence
Angular momentum = Moment of inertia* angular velocity = constant
or
Mass * distance from axis*angular velocity = constant

  In the above formula, if one quantity increases, another quantity must decrease to keep the product constant.
    A dancer on an ordinary floor or ice floor sometimes spins herself.  If she out-stretches her arms, she will spin slowly.  If she brings her arms close to her chest, she will spin rapidly. Here moment of inertia is disturbed and hence speed also is disturbed.
     Earth goes around the Sun in an elliptical orbit.  When the earth is away from the sun, it moves slowly.  (Remember, the sun is situated at one of two foci (centers) in the ellipse).  When the earth is close to the sun, it goes fast.  Again, it happens to conserve the angular momentum.
     Assume, a man is sitting on a freely rotating lightweight chair.  He is also holding a rotating bicycle wheel.  Initially he holds it vertically.  So there is only vertical rotations initially and no horizontal rotations.  Suppose, the man suddenly turns the wheel to the horizontal position, the wheel rotates horizontally. But there were no horizontal rotations initially.  And the system has to conserve the angular momentum.  So the chair begins to rotate in opposite direction to that of the wheel horizontally.  Consequently, the total rotations or total angular momentum (+momentum and - momentum) is zero and conserved.  It is clearly illustrated in the animated picture.
    So new rotations are created due to conservation of angular momentum.  It will be possible to create new energy using the law of conservation of energy.
     Also we should be able create new mass or particle because of conservation of mass.  Suppose, we create electron from nothing, positron will also be born to nullify it.  Similarly neutrino and anti- neutrino.
    Another interesting fact about the momentum.  There is festival cracker or bomb.  Before lighting it up, its total momentum is zero.  Once it is ignited, it explodes and fragments are thrown in all the directions.  Again the total momentum of all the fragments is zero.  The directions of fragments must be taken into account.
     As the rocket goes up, used stages in the rocket is thrown into space one by one to reduce the mass. As the mass of the rocket reduces, the speed of the rocket goes up to keep the momentum constant.
        So speed is created without using fuel.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
