  1. Comment on ajkoer's post

    Sorry! Anhydrous means "not a water solution". A water solution is easy. Just dissolve Fe metal in 6M hydrochloric acid. The only way is by direct oxidation. Fe metal + Cl2 gas. This was a...

    If this is from an organic chemistry course, then you should have learned about organic acids and bases before you learned about aldehydes and ketones. If this is from a biology or nursing chem...

    Your topic is in the wrong area. Nuclear fission is physics, not chemistry.

    That's the only way!

    Nice try, but no cigar. An aqueous solution of FeCl3 heated to dryness produces the hydrate. Further heating will decompose the hydrate back to Fe2O3 and HCl. Cannot get anhydrous FeCl3 by heating...

    Any valid scientific observation must follow the scientific method. That is, no theory developed from a scientific observation is valid unless tested to give results consistent with the theory in...

    You just answered your own question. I did not say that the change in velocity from +1 mph to -50 mph was instantaneous. I said that in the limit that t goes to zero, the change in their position...

    That is "what is wrong with the picture" that I asked in the original problem. The mosquito is traveling at 1 mph (+x direction) before it hits the train and at 50 mph (-x direction) after the...

    There is no paradox here, and no laws of physics are violated. It requires an understanding of the difference between a finite change and an infinitesimally small change. We normally think of...

    Okey everyone. I'll give you once last hint. First, it's not a physics problem, it's more a calculus problem. This should give it away. It has to do with velocity being a change in distance with...

    You are missing the point. At some point the bug's velocity is zero. It is in contact with the train. Isn't the train's velocity also zero?

    Let's assume the train is in a vacuum. It doesn't change the problem.

    Comment on Capuchin's post

    I think that the bug will feel differently as it splats against the train. It's about as coupled to the train as you can get! Velocity is a vector. The bug's velocity goes from +1 mph to -50 mph,...

    Can a mosquito stop a train?

    A train is traveling in the -x direction at 50 mph. A mosquito is traveling in the +x direction heading straight for the train at 1 mph. The mosquito strikes the train. During the collision the...
