    Question about Special Relativity

    How do relative velocities work near the speed of light. Say u r shooting a bullet that goes at 0.8c from a spaceship that goes at 0.8c, what is the velocity of the bullet relative to an observer on the ground? I know that this equation gives the answer, but could someone pls show how to derive...

    Best textbook for Physics and Chemistry

    Hi, I am a year 10 student, going into year 11 next year, and I have chosen to do Chemistry and Physics. I was wondering what textbook is the best to study for these subjects, so it would be great if I could get some guidance.

    Physics MOD 7 Confusion - any help asap is appreciated

    hello, so my question is related to the measurement of the speed of light. 1. Maxwell predicted existence of em waves in 1864. He then went on to calculate the theoretical speed of an em wave. he then said that light is also an em wave. 2. then in 1900's hertz proved that em waves existed by...

    Where can I find hard practice questions

    I'm studying Physics and Chemistry, and I've tried the questions in the textbooks I use (surfing and in focus) but they all seem to be repetitive and are nothing like the harder questions in the HSC. Does anyone have any other textbook suggestions or resources with hard exam type questions for...
