Do astronauts fap in space? If so how do they dispose of their spunk in zero gravity? If someone used a vibrator in space would it act as a gyroscope?

Space sexuality is unfortunately inhibited by astronauts and visiting scientists wanting to keep their very prestigious jobs. I imagine spunk has enough surface tension to stay together before catching it in a bag, but there's probably no privacy in the ISS except for sleeping bags.

>Do astronauts fap in space?
I'm absolutely certain it has happened at least once.
>Skunk in zero gravity?
Not that different as under 1g, I hold a tissue like 1cm from my tip anyway.
>vibrators?
I imagine they would start to slowly rotate around their off-center CoM and work as a gyro, yes.

>probably no privacy in the ISS
If you have 45 sec to one minute out of sight, there is no problem. I imagine it isn't awfully quiet either, with all the machinery.

Sorry if this is a dumb question
Just started on MIT's OCW dynamics course, very first problem I've gotten wrong but don't see what I did wrong

Can anyone explain what I did wrong to get this answer?

The fuck is this?

Dynamics is supposed to be done with diffy Qs, not these high-school tier formulas.

Also step 4 you squared v2 but already took the root on the RHS. It should just be v2 without raising the power.

Thanks, I knew it would probably be something stupid asf

What the fuck... why did you use energy? This is literally high school Calculus. Fuck, not even. It's literally Algebra II; you don't need to know any physics to be able to understand/solve this problem.

I'll type out the work in just a second.

>>7763550
My used it.

Has a very well refined pedagogy, the author puts real effort in to trying to help students understand the material instead of just trying to impress other physicists.

Very comprehensive for an introductory text. My edition including intro to SR, QM and particle physics.


/sci/ elitists will tell you it's utter shit and to get a real textbook.

Also, can you recommend me something with assignments too?

It means x is real.

>>7763411
x = variable x
∈ = 'is an element of'
R = real number set
Hence, x∈R is simply a small note stating that x is a real number.

Each person has a subjective experience of reality simulated by their brain. This is a biological electrochemical interplay of neurons. Yes you live in a simulation. No it isn't a big computer simulation ruling your life. This very post is just my subjective ego utilizing metaphorical symbology called english through electrical devices called computers. Eventually you and I will talk more directly. the speed of communication increases while the distance matters less. That errors called the Mandela effect are just your subjective reality experiencing objective reality fact checks. Your perception of reality is being confronted with actuality.

When you are eating then youre eating something called calories.
When youre moving youre burning these calories.
When you burn more calories than you eat you lose weight, when you burn less you gain weight.
