What is "Law of mass action"?
928800
Actually, "Hope of Mass Action" is closer to the truth.   It states that the rate of a chemical reaction will be proportional to the product of the activities (close to concentrations) of the reactants with each reactant concentration raised to the exponent equal to its coefficient in the reaction equation.  \n\nFor example if the reaction is A +2B ---> products then the reaction rate = K[A][B]^2  (or K[A][B][B])\n\nThe basic idea is that we hope nature will be as simple as possible and conform to what we see in the equation.

Coulombs law.\nWhen the distance is made 3 times longer (for instance),\nthe force between the charges becomes 3^2=9 times smaller.

Yes.  \n\nBoyle's Law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on the gas.  In other words, as pressure rises volume decreases and as pressure decreases volume increases.

Mr Newton.  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.\n\nThe action is pushing air down.  The reaction pushes the hovercraft up.\n\nAnd some Bernoulli, whereby increased pressure on one side of an object creates lift.  The air pushed down, and retained by the skirt, causes a pressure differential between the air under the hovercraft and the air above it.  This creates lift

THE HAT LAW (beeep! beeep! Move it Hat Guy!)\nTHE YOU BIG BULLY LAW (try & knock me down)\nTHE HELP I'M A BUG LAW (SPLAT! *Help, I'm a bug!*)\n\nYour question rocks because all you hear from books and teachers is (use Peanuts TV show teacher voice here)\n\n"bwah bwah bwah tends to remain in motion bwah bwah equal and opposite reaction bwah bwah bwah"\n\nI think this is because they do not really understand it.\n\nYou know who understands this stuff by the seat of their pants? Bikers! Harley, Suzuki, Honda, you name it, they totally get it.\n\nAction-Reaction, sure enough. But you have asked what is so QUESTION NUMBER ONE in physics. \n\nHere's a way to remember and understand through a totally whack story.\n\nIt took a super-genius, I mean way smarter than Einstein, to figure it out. A good old farm boy, astrologer, magician & alchemist, religious fanatic, mathematician and all around kook. Yes sirree, Sir Isaac Newton.\n \nWell we all know what a force is, it is a sort of push or pull -- think of it as something that changes or *tries to change* the motion of stuff.\n\nNewton first figured out that if you leave a thing alone, or if the pushes and pulls on it cancel out, then it will sit there like a lump. Like those drivers wearing hats, and like sit there after the light has already turned green two minutes ago.\n\nOr else a thing will keep moving in the same straight line direction and speed like those drivers wearing hats who go 40 mph on the expressway with their turn signal blinking on and on. This is known as "THE HAT LAW".\n\nAll was well until he noticed that things move faster in an amount equal to how much you bully them or push them around. Twice the force, twice the fasterness and fasterness (also known as acceleration). This is called the "YOU BIG BULLY LAW".\n\nThen he discovered a fly in the ointment. His HAT and BULLY laws didn't really explain all that much. Something was gumming up this beautiful theory. We call it MASS and it is still an unknown mystery as to what it really is. So we vaguely call it the amount of stuff or matter in a thing.\n\nSo he found out that for a certain force the faster-isity (acceleration) is cut in half if you double the mass. The bully has to push twice as hard to fasterize two little kids. So he was like "I'll just add that in, and all will be cool". The "YOU BIG BULLY LAW" and "THE HAT LAW" totally did it all. Let's hear it, big-time: Boo Yah!\n\nBut then Newton had a road accident. He was gunning his Harley over London bridge at like 250 when a bug hit him in the mouth and knocked out one of his wooden teeth. He was all "Why am I so in pain?". And the bug as it squooshed said "Help! I'm a bug!"\n\nSo spitting out the splinters of his wooden tooth and the splattered bug, he had this revelation. He realized that because he was moving so fast, and the bug slowed down so fast, that even a miniscule mass like a bug was like taking a hammer to his tooth.\n\nHe noticed that the force was equal to the mass of the bug times the speed of impact all happening in a brief moment. \n\nSince Newton spoke Latin (he was the love child of Joe Newton and an Italian governess) he wrote "Fastus buggus ina momentum hurtus like crazy." Today we call this "momentum" (really) It is just "mass times speed" or "force times a small moment of time".\n\nAnd he realized that the bug smashed up his tooth, but also that the bug was squashed (like a bug) because they were trading off the EXACT same amount of momentum. \n\nThe force on the tooth by the bug in the moment of time was PRECISELY equal to the smacko-ing the tooth used to stop the bug dead.\n\nHe said "Hey, like he broke my tooth, but I killed him soooo dead!" He did the math and found that the force of the bug on the tooth was equal to the force of the tooth on the bug!\n\nNo way did the two eq

Very super question! Yes the answers above are right. Action-Reaction, sure enough. But you have asked what is totally QUESTION NUMBER ONE in physics. It's an exciting question which many teachers secretly don't understand and so their students get this hazy idea and kind of go thru the motions. Here's a way to remember and understand through a nutty story.\n\nWow, it is so basic, that it took a super-genius, I mean way smarter than Einstein, to figure it out. A good old farm boy, astrologer, magician & alchemist, religious fanatic, mathematician and all around kook. Yep. Sir Isaac Newton.

I believe in Hume's Fork:\n\n "Either our actions our determined, in which case we are not responsible for them, or the result of random events, in which case we are not responsible for them."\n\nIf you apply physics, matter is confined to follow certain laws.  We are all composed of matter as well as the things around us, as well as certain other laws.  But the infinite amount of interactions between our bodies, our environment, mind, and matter are too vast to ever calculate or predict.  It is useless to even ponder the question of destiny.  \n\nHowever, the theory of quantum physics implies that quarks (pieces of atoms) are dynamic particles that are not confined to any laws and can actual pop in and out of existence.  There interaction with other particles does affect their actions as well.  The quantum theory is  a theory, and by no means can anyone  base such a question of destiny on analysis of the movement of atoms.\n\nIn layman's terms, we don't have free will to the extent of being able to directly decide what we will do in the future, there is no one  decision making soul or 'me' that hits the execute button before an action is made.  But we do have a brain system that carries out processes of analysis that takes part in making a final decision.  But the processes at this time are too complex to map out nor to pin-point one major influence because the influences on our behavior are too vast.  The two basic ones are nature, nurture.  Others environment, genes.

Trying to change the laws of physics is harder than trying to eat just one potato chip, but it sounds as if you are asking about determinism, which is the belief that we do not in fact have free will and that our actions are not of our own choosing.\n\nOne way to look at it is that in our bodies, all the forces are balanced. This means that the force of gravity and the force of electromagnetism counterbalance each other. Neither one of them wholly dominate our minds or bodies. Sure, we are on the ground, but we can stand up, climb trees, walk up hills, etc., partially or temporarily defying gravity. \n\nThe strong nuclear interactive force and the weak nuclear interactive force are not the major thing in our lives, either. We are too big to be totally contollled by the nuclear interactive forces, and too small to be controlled entirely by gravity or electromagnetism. There is a YOU that is not determined (controlled) by those things. And YOU are able to pull the strings of your body, so that it obeys you, so that you consciously (not conscientiously) do things. \n\nOtherwise, there would be no such thing as good or evil. A vicious murderer, arsonist, terrorist, rapist, could say, "Your Honor, it's not my fault. I had no choice but to act that way, according to the laws of physics." If he could give convincing proof of this, the judge would have no choice but to let him off. \n\n(We can't have laws determined by voting, either, because man-made laws are just that-- man-made, finite, limited, and not necessarily fair. What if the bad guys got the majority of the vote? Would that make their laws right? No, of course not.)\n\nNo responsible judge would allow a criminal to escape justic based on an argument like this. The very existence of a justice system indicates that-- regardless of what we might say-- we believe in free will, we believe in the existence of right and wrong. Even the most materialistic person, when ill-treated, will protest the injustice. They may like to reason that we do not have free will (especially when it helps them get out from some responsibility) but when they are the one getting hurt, they suddenly remember that it isn't fair. \n\nWe can't have it both ways. If there is no free will, justice is an illusion and might makes right after all.\n\nSo, which one do you believe in?

The mass of people are controlled by government, business, military.  All of which operate for money and power on their various levels.  This maintains a low spiritual awareness of the general mass of people for concern for all living things.  When we (the people) speak up and express our concern to "clean up our act", then action is to follow.  But many governments (including the U.S.) do not listen to the people anymore, just the special interest groups in the three areas listed above.

I am not sure what you mean by "General Gas Laws."  The only law dealt with in physics is the Ideal Gas Law which says that pressure and volume are related to amount of gas, temperature and some constant.\n\nPV = nRT

With zero net force there are so many examples. Book resting on the table. Vehicle moving with constant velocity. Rain drops falling with terminal velocity. Object floating on water. Mass hanging from a spring balance. \n\nBut the example of a known total force F, acting on mass m and producing accelerartion a = F/m in the mass m is difficult to give. This is so because of two reasons. Firstly because rarely only wellknown forces act on an object, most of the time not so                                   wellknown forces such as that of reaction tension and friction also act on the objcet. Secondly, strictly speaking there exists no definition of mass other than Newton's second law. Newton's Second law define both force and mass.  In this sense this is not a law but a definition of some sort. on the basis of which you can derive certain results of experiment which can be verified.

There you have the 2nd (I think) law od thermodynamics.\n\nLook it up, but it's the commonly quoted one about entropy always increasing in a closed system.\n\nIn laymans terms, the amount of disorder always increases, as things naturally seek a lower energy state.  Eventually, when the universe is 'run down' it will consist only of a uniform soup of particles.\n\nFortunately we don't have to worry about that quite yet!"

It derives from one of Newton's Laws. In the simplest terms - when you exert force on an object, that object will move in a direction and distance exactly equal and opposite to the force you applied. But, the saying as we use it goes beyond this physical explanation. I think it refers to the fact that all your actions have consequences and that therefore you should consider things carefully before you act. Things we do affect other people and those effects can change the world.

Hi! Mank,\n\nMass communication is the study of communication theory relating to masses. In this communication theory u have to learn different communication model, who the target audience are, whom to communicate, what message is to be communicated, what is its importance in contemporary socio-economic condition, the mode of mass communicaiton etc.\n        Mass means 'the public' , i.e all u have to do is to communicating with the common mass thru effective mass media ( TV , Newspaper, Cinema etc) and the effect of such communication on them.That is all about mass communication in a nut shell.\n       There r several books regarding Mass Communication. U can go thru Mass Coommunication by Subir Ghosh. I have forgotten the name of the publisher.
