checked C-15.

[Vyom]

Mine too... was 15! Looks like, I am safe. But hope everybody checks that too!

[axes2t2]

Thanks for info Vineet369.

But I have the pipeline waala gas.

[Vyom]

Thanks axes2t2.
Btw, I saw on your YT channel that you like to play guitar. I need some help. Need to know some good basic guitar lesson videos for a friend. It would be good if that's from a Pakistani singer (it was his preference).

Please do let me know if you have any such videos or playlist!! Thanks in advance.

Physics Question:
A boy throws a ball upwards with a speed 10km/hr.
how much distance will the ball travels (or height)?

checked C-15.

D-17....

78.74 cm

78.74 cm

How? And will the weight of ball won't be a factor?

Acceleration due to gravity is irrespective of the mass of the object.

[dashing.sujay]

Acceleration due to gravity is irrespective of the mass of the object.

Yeah I know that. But it applies for free fall? (correct me if I'm wrong).
Also I used v^2=u^2+2as for above problem but didn't got answer. I forgot all physics

I am waiting for my winter holidays....
I dont even know from when will it start, 25th or 1st..

[Anorion]

yes, its true for all in the accuracy of cms, and a heavy feather will obviously sink slower than a light grain of sand but both still exp the same acceleration due to gravity

hmmm.... ok our physics sir used to give us bouncers that we just cudnt answer - at first everyone started shouting answers thinking they were stupid questions, but all our answers were wrong... he never told us the answers and no one ever got them for the duration of JC. Figured out a few answers after college, then went back to college and answered him and he told me a few students were really stumped and they came back later just to answer the questions when they finally figured it out

some samples:

1) at sea level, any square cm has an air pressure of 1 kilogram. Now if you are standing on a beach, and the area of a human body is 17000–18000cm^2 - doesnt matter how much this is, then you are experiencing 17000 kilograms of weight on your body. How is the body able to carry so much weight?

2) If gravity exists why doesnt all the air fall down to the ground. This one is pretty simple tho, and I think the answer can be googled.

3) This one haven't figured out yet. been about 6 years.

hey guys share the link with me too...m also learning guitar

formula???

& if the ball is replaced by a cube of same diameter then?also include triangle..

There is no diameter in cube.

Any good site to check train availability apart from irctc, damn things doesn't work.

also

The amount(weight) of water displaced by an object is said to be its volume, right?
So does this mean a sponge of same size/dimensions as a brick will have greater volume?

3) This one haven't figured out yet. been about 6 years.

The path inside the battery is the mechanism which creates the potential difference across the electrodes, so current can't flow across it. if it flows across it, the polarity will be neutralized and it won't be a battery. The current can't flow across that path as a chemical reaction is maintaining that polarity and it is not a simple conductor.

formula???

& if the ball is replaced by a cube of same diameter then?also include triangle..

simple kinematics formula
h=(v^2 - u^2)/(2*g)

answer won't depend on shape and mass of the object unless we are considering air pressure and resistance.

Why do you check availability through irctc? Lots of hassles, login, exXxtreme slow servers

Though most poeple usse indianrail.gov.in, I use Indian Railways Time Tables, PNR, Route, Fares, Arrivals/Departures, Running Status - eRail.in (Better Way To Search Trains). Its damn simple and the best part is you get all on one page. Any type of enquiry, availability, cost, map, whatever it be. I just wonder how the site was coded and wish I could make such one day.

No offense, but wtf bro? I think you need to brush up your physics.

but if we consider shape of the object then?

People need to open their class VI/VII/VIII/IX/X physics books here.
Seriously.

Can anyone recommend me a keyboard with the classic Enter/Bksp/Backslash layout like this? Dislike the new enter key layouts.
And oh a wired PS/2 keyboard that is. Logitech is very much preferable. My current keyboard is Logitech and still serving me well for 8+ years (need this one for my second PC).

Yeah but that's IBall; don't like the company. And not totally sure that the pics are proper representation of the actual product either.
A logitech/MS keyboard with that layout will be great.

Try cleartrip.com. It searches trains too. I've booked my train tickets from here only because of easy to use UI...

Try it
