ecoli 372 Posted February 23, 2007 Well, how many grams in 1 kilogram? Google "SI measurements" if you're unsure. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swansont 7432 Posted February 23, 2007 Since when is smart defined as "able to divide by 1000" ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Cuthber 3813 Posted February 26, 2007 Actually, I guess it depends on what you mean by "represents". Here in the UK about 9.5 g of some brassy alloy represents a pound. I think the question refers to the fact that, seeing that title, we all want to prove just how smart we are so we answer a question that might otherwise seem too trivial to bother with. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andie 10 Posted February 26, 2007 lol it is a very easy question... possibly inserted to make everyone feel smart... i know it makes me feel smart:) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GutZ 109 Posted February 26, 2007 Since when is smart defined as "able to divide by 1000" ? lol I know it's right there. KILOgram. I think the smart part comes from relating this to relativity. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insane_alien 840 Posted February 27, 2007 well, if you knew the velocity of the copper wrt to the observers frame you could work out the relativistic mass of the coper assuming the 42.7g is the rest mass. or something. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems no matter how much we learn, the number of unanswered questions seems constant. Why is that? /Fredrik 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sisyphus 993 Posted February 27, 2007 Actually, the more we learn, the greater the number of unanswered questions, because our knowledge shows us new and more specific directions of inquiry. Without any knowledge, the only question you can ask is, "whu..?" It's not really that mysterious a process... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psynapse 10 Posted February 27, 2007 Are they constant? Or increasing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
