Quantum Physicists Lovers Riddle
Hint:
Because when they find the position, they can't find the momentum, and when they have the momentum, they can't find the position. Did you answer this riddle correctly?

Swinging At The Park Riddle
A man and his 6 year old daughter are swinging together at the park. Each is on a separate, identical swing. The man has three times the mass of the child.
Which swings faster? And more importantly, why?
Which swings faster? And more importantly, why?
Hint:
The speed at which a pendulum swings is called the period and given by the equation:
2 x pi x square root of (length of rope from fulcrum to Center of Mass divided by gravity)
Since gravity is constant, the only thing that effects the period is the length of rope. In the above scenario, you assume the man is taller then the child. Therefore his center of mass is higher. This makes the distance between the fulcrum to the center of mass shorter then for the child. The man swings faster. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES NO

Cannot Create Or Destroy
I can be converted from one form to another and transported from one place to another, yet you can not create or destroy me.
What am I?
What am I?
Hint: Everything we do can cause it to be recycled.
Energy.
According to the laws of thermodynamics:
Energy can not be created nor destroyed.
Energy can be converted from one form to another (kinetic energy, heat, latent heat, potential energy, chemical energy, or electrical energy).
Energy can be transported from one place to another through conduction, convection, and radiation. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
