Why is it called the general theory of relativity and not the general hypothesis of relativity?
A "hypothesis" changes to a "theory" when empirical evidence backs it up.
Every experiment done over the last 90 years has supported general relativity; not one experiment has challenged it. Indeed, accurate GPS devices would not work unless the effects of general relativity were not factored into their clocks -- so, in effect, every GPS device in the world is an experiment that supports GR.
Contrary to what some people, with a CLEAR and UNDENIABLE motivation to confuse people on what a "theory" means, wrongly claim that a scientific "theory" is something unproven. That is simply not true, but these people will continue to repeat this lie.
What is the magnitude of the resultant force when forces of magnitude are combined?
-- When forces of unequal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be
anything between the difference and sum of the individual magnitudes, depending
on the angle between them.
-- When forces of equal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be
anything between zero and double the individual magnitudes, depending on the
angle between them.
Weight needed to sink a 30 cu' box of air in fresh water?
We're making the following assumptions:
-- the box has no weight
-- the water is pure distilled
-- the temperature of everything is 4° C
-- the atmospheric pressure is 1 atmosphere.
Weight of 30 cubic ft of water: 1,872 pounds
Weight of 30 cubic ft of air: 2.376 pounds
Weight needed to sink the box = (1,872 - 2.376) = 1,869.6 pounds (rounded)

Is it true that Albert Ienstien couldn't read till he was four?
No one knows but unless you ask Einstein himself we will never know
List the objects that float in water?
anything alive would probably be under the classification of plankton; such as jellyfish, zoeplankton, or phyto plankton. Anything that has never been alive could be anything, such things as wood or plastic bags.
Any object whose density is less than the density of water floats in water.
Is space and time the same thing?
Time is the measurement of how long a day is, plus it can be shortened and stretched longer depending on the season or if it is day light savings time. Space on the other hand can be either the blackness surrounding our planet the holds billions of stars, where a car parks, or the room a thing takes up. For example how much space does this apartment have? This question was asking how much room or availability to openness does a thing have or contain.
What is the definition of diffusion in scientific terms?
Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their Kineti energy of random motion
Aforce of 50N acts along the horizontal what is its vertical compenents?
If the force is aligned with the horizontal, then its vertical component is zero.
Why is the equation E equals mc2 important?
That equation is important because teachers ask you weird questions like that in school andy'all need to answer them. If you are wondering this and you are not in school then you probably should not care unless it has to do with work.

The final temperature of the water will be approximately 30°C when a liter of water at 40°C is poured into a liter of water at 20°C, due to the principle of conservation of energy. The system will reach thermal equilibrium, resulting in a final temperature that is a weighted average of the initial temperatures based on the mass of each component.
In physics, pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave. It is a subjective quality related to the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitch sounds and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitch sounds. Pitch is what allows us to distinguish between different musical notes.
A graph which shows how distance(dependent quantity) varies with time(independent quantity). For example, if you want to know how much distance a hare covers in a running race, you plot time along x axis, in seconds(say), and the distance it has traveled along the y axis, in meters(say) , so that by looking at the graph, you know how much distance the hare has traveled from the starting point at any instant of time, or distance between any two given times, and so on!
Of course, I don't see why it features here in the relativity section! Or is it that you are asking what a space-time diagram is?

Did albert Einstein have help creating the general theory of relativity?
Most of the impetus for developing general relativity came entirely out of Einstein's thoughts. Einstein needed some time to choose the mathematics necessary to fully develop the theory, and Tulio Levi-Civita assisted him in finding tensor algebra as the best approach.
In a sense, David Hilbert assisted Einstein in that both were working, independently of each other, on finding the equations. This "race," not uncommon in science, inspires both people to do their best work. There is some dispute on who reached the answer first, but Hilbert always stated that Einstein deserved full credit for starting the investigation.
Has everything in history already happened?
Odd question, why do you ask? Are you hoping to change the past, or predict the future?
If the question is: has everything that will ever happen, already happened? That's (predeterminism), and the answer is simply NO. That would devoid us of any free will (religous speak) or causal effects (more scientific). If our futures are already written, then the egg that breaks tomorrow, has already broken whether I drop it or not, and that just doesn't appear to be true. Cause and effect works in order of A leads to B leads to C = result. I pick up the egg with wet hands, it slips out of my hands, it hits the floor = broken egg. If however all events in history have already taken place, then the egg doesn't need steps A through C to happen...it just breaks, even if I decide to dry my hands before picking it up. Now by all practical accounts, eggs don't just break. History has not been written. Another way to look at it is, if events have already been destined to happen, then "Time" itself is in question, not history. As it stands Time does have a direction, and by all accounts, it has only one, which is forward. Time is an arrow, not a closed loop. So be happy in the knowledge that no matter how bad things get, there may still be a chance that they'll work out in your favour.
Cheers
*************
If the past and the future have already been written then there would be no choice. Your hands would be wet because you couldn't "decide" to dry them. Some people argue that free will is an illusion. Trouble is that no one can act as though that's true.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my answer is , yes everything has already happened , and this has no conflict with not having a choice , I still have a choice , I make things happen , but it has already happened by me . confusing ? maybe . I have made my choices , things are going to happen not because there are forced to happen . whatever choice you are going to make does not change it because eventually the choice that are going to make will happen , because it has already happened . hmm looks like a loop.
sometimes I experience dejavu , in one of them i was shocked I felt it clearly that it has happened already and it was going to happen . even next things that i would do , even thinking after dejavu , getting shocked , all happens exactly as i had experienced.
What is conventional machines?
Conventional machines are the machines that are operated manually. They are operated or driven with the help of human resource.
It is the attractive force that all matter possesses for other matter. We're pretty sure of that. We can, thanks to Newton, measure it and describe how it usually behaves. Einstein understood it as an effect of curved space/time, and not as matter dependent.
Thanks to Newton and Einstein, we know enough to think and talk about it, but we still don't completely understand its fundamental nature. We may have to understand the fundamental nature of light before we can understand gravity, since light photons have (we're pretty sure) no mass and yet are affected by gravity (gravitational lensing).
What is meant by Albert Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity'?
The theory of relativity, refers specifically to two theories: Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity. also Einstein was fatt...no phat..Ya
Special relativity: a theory of the structure of spacetime. It was introduced in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". Special relativity is based on two postulates which are contradictory in classical mechanics:
General relativity: a theory of gravitation developed by Einstein in the years 1907-1915. The development of general relativity began with the equivalence principle, under which the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field (for example when standing on the surface of the Earth) are physically identical. The upshot of this is that free fall is inertial motion: In other words an object in free fall is falling because that is how objects move when there is no force being exerted on them, instead of this being due to the force of gravity as is the case in classical mechanics. This is incompatible with classical mechanics and special relativity because in those theories inertially moving objects cannot accelerate with respect to each other, but objects in free fall do so. To resolve this difficulty Einstein first proposed that spacetime is curved. In 1915, he devised the Einstein field equations which relate the curvature of spacetime with the mass, energy, and momentum within it.
Some of the consequences of general relativity are:

AnswerEinstein's Special Theory of Relativity combines Galileo's Principle of Relativity to the pretext postulate that all observers, no matter what their state of uniform linear motion is, will always measure the speed of light to be the same. It is called special because it applies this moderated principle of relativity only to inertial frames of reference- that is, frames of reference which are at uniform, linear and non-rotary motion relative to each other. In general relativity he developped to apply this principle generally- that is, to any frame of reference, even those which are at non-uniform, non-linear and rotary motion relative to each other. In physical terms, this kind of relative motion usually occurs when the frames are accelerating relative to each other, or under the effect of gravity relative to each other. Incidentally, it transpired that acceleration and effects of gravity were really two sides of the same coin, since in purely physical terms there is no difference to be observed from one frame of reference if another is accelerating away relative to it, or moving away relative to it under the influence of some suitably chosen gravitation field.So in basic terms, while special relativity applies an altered version of Galileo's principle of relativity, in which it is additionally postulated that observers in all states of motion would concur the speed of light to be the same, only to inertial frames, general relativity developes this moderated principle of relativity to apply to all kinds of frames of reference of motion, namely also those frames of reference which are moving under the effect of gravity relative to each other.
A question was once asked to Einstein" What is relativity". He replied, (and I do not direct quote) " Relativity is like when you sit next to a pretty girl... It feels like one minute, but was actually an hour. As opposed to when you sit on a hot stove for one minute, but it feels like an hour. This... Is relativity".
There are two theories of relativity. The two theories are electricity and magnetism.
So far it is not possible to make a time machine for a couple of reasons:
1) Human kind have not yet made a machine faster than light and time. If you go faster than the speed of light, you may be able to go backwards in time.
2) If we do travel through time, our molecules in the body will get mixed up and big problems will be caused because of this.
Draw a picture, then save it (save as). Now, change something about your picture (the face, eyes, arms, legs, etc.). Save that as another picture (save as again). Animating is basically many pictures played together to create an illusion of movement. Each picture is called a frame. Now, import your pictures into a video program (like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker). Put them in the order you want them to animate. now select all of those pictures and copy+paste them over and over. That will create an animation loop (your animation played over and over). Have fun animating! Make sure to save your video when you're happy with the length. Animating is a lot easier than it seems!
