BIn... étudiant en génie mécanique je suis certains que c'est un mythe.

Une pesanteur étant un poids. Un poids étant une force. Le ressort exerce pas plus de force sur la terre lorsqu'il est comprimer où non... Sa masse change pas, la constante gravitationnelle de la terre change pas non plus.

Il faut attendre la confirmation de mon maître Dred.

Si on défini le poids comme la force qui agit sur la surface où le ressort repose (i.e., la force normale), le fait d'appliquer une force dessus pour le comprimé augmente bel et bien sa valeur. Par contre, c'est vrai pour n'importe quelle objet sur lequel on applique une force, donc je vois pas trop l'intérêt... Rendu là, c'est jouer avec la définition du "poids". Ce serait pareil pour un objet sur une surface accélérée.

Pour l'histoire de E=mc^2, m'semble que ça s'applique pour l'énergie cinétique et quand on s’approche de la vitesse de la lumière. Bref, rien à voir avec un spring comprimé.

Saviez-vous que le point d'ébullition de l'eau est plus bas en haute altitude? C'est parce que la pression de l'air est plus basse en hauteur donc l'eau n'a pas autant besoin de chaleur pour obtenir un pression similaire à l'air et par conséquent bouillir.

J'y penserai la prochaine fois que je veux me faire cuire des pâtes sur l'everest.

c'est pas parce que sa bouille que tes pâtes vont cuire plus vite.... la cuisson étant une question de chaleur, la perte de pression n'augmente pas la chaleur de l'eau. En fait plus ton eau bouille a basse température moins tes pâtes vont cuire rapidement étant donné que la température ou ça bouille est la température la plus haute que tu pourra atteindre

tu peux faire bouillir de l'eau a très faible température si tu le mets dans une cloche sous vide... mais tes pâtes vont pas être cuite après..c'est quand même comme les laisser dans de l'eau froide sur le comptoir

pour en ajouter...savez vous que...

ajoutez du sel à votre eau de cuisson ne change pas la température d'ébullition.. du moin pas a la quantité ajouté pour faire varier la température d'ébullition de 1 degré il faudrait environ une 60g de sel (10c. a thé) par litre d'eau...

Un "spring" est plus pesant compressé que lorsqu'il est "au repos".

J'y crois juste pas.

S'il est compressé verticalement, une de ses extrémités appuyée sur le sol, c'est juste. Ça fait pas mal de si, mais bon. Son centre de gravité une fois compressé est plus proche de celui de la terre. Son poids augmente comme l'inverse du carré de l'abaissement du centre de gravité du ressort.

W = G m₁m₂ / R²

Moi c'est le coeur de baleine qui me laisse septique. On voit qu'il est en plastique. S'il était en chair, il serait tout effoiré. J'ai vu des rorquals communs de pas mal proche, genre que j'ai eu peur de le blesser avec l'hélice de mon bateau, et c'est vraiment pas si gros que ça.

Je puis facilement fournir de l’énergie à la masse, par exemple en la chauffant de 10 degrés.
