I wrote earlier I can feel the cat walk across the floor-- while sitting in the sofa chair this has increased over the a short period of time.  The cat weighs 7 lbs.  This is the only house I have ever lived in that I have had this problem.  What is wrong with this house??

The house is only 9 years old. (I am the second owner)   I know they settle but in the last year I can feel all movement across the floor- year ago I could barely feel anything but did notice that when someone walked across I could feel them go by.  But more recently the cat walking across to go to the chair I can feel that.  What is going on?  I know I should not feel the cat who is 7 lbs walking by or across the floor. Split level home 9 years old Minnesota location  Is anyone out there that can explain this?

This might be subjective, I don't know. However, it's a serious problem for me. My electrical bill is outrageous. It's three times as large as my next-door neighbor, and four or five times the size of my neighbor's across the street. It's worse in the summer (I live in central TX), but I've had the air conditioner inspected, and while the house is right at the maximum capacity for our unit, the unit should still be able to take care of the load. That also doesn't explain why our winter bills are larger than the comparables.  What I would like to do is check the amount of current drawn by each running appliance and calculate where all my money is going. I just don't know how to go about doing this.

This has been going on a little while and the health visitor says its normal but we are a bit concerned about the force our child is using when he pulls at his penis: He really yanks it and it looks like it could do some damage...  Particularly when he stretches both as far as he can!  And the other day his nail cut him on his scrotum while I was changing him so I was even more concerned about bacteria.  How can I encourage him to stop doing it so forcefully without teaching him it's wrong to explore his body?

A question asks you to determine the relationship between true weight and apparent weight when an elevator that has descended from the 50th floor is coming to a halt at the first floor.  I believe that as the elevator is coming to a halt, the acceleration is decreasing (close to zero), and so this downward acceleration is negative. Therefore, w = mg - ma. Then w should be less than mg. However, the book tells me that w should be more than mg. I do not understand, in any way, how this is possible. Can someone please explain how true weight is less than apparent weight when the person in an elevator is experiencing overall downward acceleration?

So according to me in this situation there are two forces acting on A at the moment, one is the reactive force of 70 N by newton's third law and the other is the force of 60 N exerted by B. Now don't you think the tension should be the sum of the two pulling forces experienced by A (i.e. 70+60=130 N)...Please tell me where my thinking process is going wrong.

I already build new home for her but nothing happens.I have 18 gold(if that matters) but no one moves into the new home. In my village I already have 4 NPCs.

This is a question on a worksheet that I'm giving to a student:  A man of weight $W$ steps into the lift. The lift then moves downwards with a constant speed. If $R$ represents the force acting on the man by the lift floor, which of the following statements is/are correct? (3) $R$ and $W$ are an action-reaction pair according to Newton's third law  Why isn't this statement (3) correct?

This is a problem that has haunted me for more than a decade. Not all the time - but from time to time, and always on windy or rainy days, it suddenly reappears in my mind, stares at me for half an hour to an hour, and then just grins at me, and whispers whole day: "You will never solve me..."  Please save me from this torturer.  Here it is:  Let's say there are two people and a sandwich. They want to share the sandwich, but they don't trust each other. However, they found the way how both of them will have a lunch without feeling deceived: One of them will cut the sandwich in two halves, and another will choose which half will be his. Fair, right?    The problem is:  Is there such mechanism for three people and a sandwich?    EDIT: This was roller-coaster for me. Now, it turns out that there are at least two books devoted exclusively on this problem and its variations:          Yesterday, I was in a coffee shop in a small company. We ordered coffee and some chocolate cakes. As I was cutting my cake for my first bite, I felt sweat on my forehead. I thought, 'What if some of my buddies just interrupt me and say: Stop! You are not cutting the cake in a fair manner!' My hands started shaking in fear of that. But, no, nothing happened, fortunately.

Sometimes when I'm in bed at night, I rub my feet against the sheets and light is created. What exactly is going on?     I'm familiar with static electricity, and the triboelectric effect (creating a charge by rubbing 2 insulators together), and electrostatic discharge (releasing charge by touching a grounded conductor).     I believe that all of that is what is at work here, but I'm slightly confused since in other cases, the triboelectric effect and electrostatic discharge seem to occur as two separate steps, with different substances involved, and here, the two effects seem to be occurring simultaneously, with the same substances.     Can someone help me with a step-by-step explanation of the dynamics of what is going on?

I've come across another article in "list verse" which says that the empty space is not actually empty at least for a while. I've tried to find about this, so I googled it .It also quotes a word "Quantum foam" .But all the explanations are way too hard to understand .Any one who knows about this could help . Thank you in advance....

I have been observing my cat and found that when confronted with an unknown item, she will always use her front left paw to touch it.  This has me wondering if animals exhibit handedness like humans do? (and do I have a left handed cat?)  One note of importance is that with an unknown item, her approach is always identical, so possibly using the left paw means allowing a fast possible exit based on how she positions her body.  This question is related to . However, I question the "paw-ness" as a consequence of how the cat is approaching new items (to be ready to flee), whereas the other question remarks about the high number of "right-pawed" dogs and questions the influence of people for this preference.

I found this animal, which I suspect it's an insect, on the floor of a kitchen in Spain some days ago. It's about 8-10 mm long. I don't think I've ever seen it before. What is it?

When my wife uses her laptop, if I touch her skin, I can feel a buzz.  She doesn't feel the buzz, but she can hear it if I touch her ear.  So I'm guessing it's a faulty laptop, and she's conducting an electrical current.  But why would she not feel anything, and what would it be that she would be hearing when I touch her ear?    More info:  The effect is only intermitent - it's pretty reliable in a single session on the laptop, but some sessions it won't happen and others it will.  I had the same sensation with a desk lamp that I had several years ago, with no moving parts (as far as I could tell)  The effect only occurs when I move my finger - if I'm stationary, I don't notice anything.   I was playing with my son, and noticed the same buzz.  First I thought he was touching the laptop.  Then I realised he had skin-to-skin contact with my wife who was using the laptop.

I am creating a pillow for my couch.  But when I click on my base, it just deforms it like this:     Does somebody know how to fix it?   After ticking dyntopo it looks like that...

My little boy has just turned three years old. I have only just recently stopped the nappies, but my little one doesn't like the potty. I've worked on that he sits on it with his tablet watching kids programmes and he uses it.   The only problem is that he only uses it when he wants to, most of the time he will just pee anywhere he is stood and I know they do that and accidents happen.   I just get frustrated sometimes as I'm asking him every 5 to 10 minutes if he needs to go potty. I have also done a sticker chart for him but that isn't working either, he still just goes where he wants.   Am I doing something wrong here? Can anybody give me some ideas how to get him to tell me he needs the loo, even though I'm asking him every 5 to 10 minutes if he does!? Any help will be appreciated!

I think everyone should have seen a bowl of hot water moving by itself on a flat surface such as glass(seems like it is moving by itself but maybe there are some external force applied to it when it moves). What is the explanation of this phenomenon?  Hypotheses :   Since the bowl is heavy, for it to move the friction between the bowl and the surface must be very very low. I have heard that water may form a thin layer between the bowl and the surface, but l'm not sure whether it is the case or not. I think the bowl can move by itself because heat makes the air below the bowl expand.   Edit : I will re-experiment those again and update the question in few days. Maybe I will take a video clip too. and I am not talking about a magic trick whatsoever.

I have a bit of misconception about weight which I want to clarify.   The air pressure is explained as the weight of the air column above our head acting per unit area. But since air is not continuous how can the weight of all the air molecules (above our head) be acting on our head? I mean we would only feel the weight of the molecules near the surface of our head (if not then why not?) but how do we feel the weight of molecules so far away?  I have edited this question and asked  follow up question (so that it remains specific).
