The scheduled release of How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is three months from today. This is, as you most likely know, a book based on the frequent conversations Emmy and I have about physics:
To mark the pre-anniversary, Emmy has decided to use social media to showcase her physics knowledge: She's answering physics questions on Twitter. Post a question, tag it #dogphysics, and she'll answer it there. If you've got a philosophical objection to Twitter, you can leave a comment here, and get your answer via the Twitter link above.
So, if you've got a question about physics that you've been dying to have answered by a dog, here's your chance.

"Hey, dude," the dog says, looking concerned. "We need to talk."
"Yeah? What's up?"
"Look, it's great that you're transcribing the human puppy's stories into Twitter and all, but I'm feeling left out. I've got my own Twitter account and all, but you hardly ever type any of my tweets any more. I…
The blog is recovering from the transition to WordPress, but I'm still not fully confident in it. So We'll turn to another corner of the social media universe for my procrastinatory needs this morning: Having Emmy answer physics questions on Twitter.
The same deal as when we've done this before: If…
Another day, another DonorsChoose incentive claimed. I'm actually late in responding to this one-- I missed my self-imposed 24-hour deadline because we're visiting Kate's parents outside of Boston, but I'll try to make up for it with the answer. Anyway, Helen asks:
How did Emmy become part of your…
She's doing well so far. I hope you're trying the experiment to see if she acts as a black hole for treats.
Just a correction to one of the Tweet-threads. Queen Emmy did not invent the SSC (superconducting squirrel collider). Such a collider is already in operation: http://www.bbspot.com/News/2008/09/squirrel-smasher.html
Toby, my dog, would like to know why it is that all the rabbits in the area seem to recognize his distinctive collar jingle, and hop over to just outside a convenient hole in a rock retaining wall that they can hop into milliseconds before he can get to play with them. And is there any hope of quantum tunneling allowing him access to their burrows, as his claws just aren't dislodging the large stones in the retaining wall.
I am trying to find equations for water evaporation rates under a vacuum given the following parameters
Surface Area - ranging from 6-36 inches
Water Temp. - for the purpose of this model we can assume the temp of the water will be constantly held at 120 F by a heat source
Vacuum - ranging from 26.5-28 inHg
Any help would be greatly appreciated
