Document Summary

He as a thinking thing is a property that is known to him. His mind differs in property than his brain. Proves metaphysical dualism (mind is different than the body: more certain of what occurs in own mind than what occurs outside (mind over body). Knowledge of his mind and not the world around him. Descartes knows his mind is a thing a mental substance: mind can expose itself to itself creating ideas of all different kinds of things there are. Can"t think of redness without something being red) existed so it didn"t need to be brought up (i. e. god: rate of reality: (highest) infinite -> substances -> properties (lowest) How did he get these ideas: got in his mind by being caused by what the ideas resemble; accurate, defects in his sense organs, insanity, tricked, etc. pictures of the world around him.

This is my Physics project, can you explain the Physics behindit?

3. Fashion a cardboard tube covered at each end with

metal foil. Punch a hole in each end with a pencil,
one about 3 or so millimeters in diameter and the
other twice as big. Place your eye to the small hole
and look through the tube at the colors of things
against the black background of the tube. You'll see
colors that look very different from how they appear

against ordinary backgrounds.

This is from Conceptual Physics, Hewitt 10th edition. Myoriginal thought was that since there is no light, the object willnot reflect anything appearing black, but the last sentence saysotherwise.

Thank you!

A large pan is filled to the top with oil of densityÏ_o. A plastic cup of mass mc, containing a sample ofknown mass ms, is placed in the oil so that the cup and samplefloat, as shown above. The oil overflows from the pan is collected,and its volume is measured. The procedure is repeated with avariety of samples of different mass, and the pan is refilled eachtime.

a) On the dot below that represents the cup-sample system, drawtand label the forces (not component) that act on the system whenit is floating on the surface of the oil.

b) Derive an expression for the overflow volume V_o(the volume of oil that overflows due to the floating system) interms of Ï_o, m_s, m_c, andfundamental constants. If you need to draw anything other than whatyou have shown in part (a) to assist in your solution, use thespace below. Do NOT add anything to the figure in part (a).

PS: i need full detail explanation on how you guys works out onthe calculation, don't jump steps please.
PS2: im finding the OVERFLOW VOLUME after i put the mass and thecup in the water, not the total volume, it you think they are thesame, please explain your thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to helper SRG: The answer that you give me doesn't make sense tome

You said "Fg = Fb, therefore(m_c+m_s)g=ÏV_og,"
but the confusing part is that you said "thus,overflow volume is V=(mc+ms)/g
The [g] should cancel out each other and left theequation with V=(mc+ms)Ï
I want a explanation of your answer, i think you jumpa couple steps that's importantto the whole question
