Surely that depends on which way you bend it.... If you bend it on the side of the scale less... the other side will be more!!Your teacher said:she said that the ruler shows more.
You're a teacher/lecturer now, right? So now you get to do the same thing to studentsWhen I was around 15 years old my math teacher asked: "if you stretch a ruler, does it show more or less than what is correct". After a long debate I had to give up because she was the principle of the school.. she said that the ruler shows more.
Do you mean that planets have elliptical paths?Another thing that bothers me was when my physics teacher said: "circular motion is unnatural". If you look at planets etc. they are all at circular path.. actually it is pretty hard to get something to go absolutely straight. Even light bends because of gravitation and refraction.
Your English is better than most English speakers. Blame that on our students.Sorry if my english is not correct.. blame it to my teacher
I am blaming your teacher!Sorry if my english is not correct.. blame it to my teacher
Check them out....two holes burnt where somebody cut through Live Mains with them...

Perhaps they felt that way about some of their students....
Most of my school teachers was [were] awful (apart from one old guy who taught me engineering, he worked at Ford UK and GKN as a designer before becoming a teacher). At college and university (teachers typically >= 50 years old rather than <40), the knowledge and understanding of my lecturers was [were] orders of magnitude better - as most of them had real jobs before getting an "easier" job as they called it in academia.

That is so sad and most perturbing on many levels.When I was about 15 I designed and built a crystal set for a physics coursework to demonstrate tuned circuits (point contact diode, jackson variable capacitor and a coil rolled on a toilet roll).
My teacher refused to even TRY it, as it was "impossible" for such a radio to work without amplification. I described that I had a pair of high impedance earphones (a few k Ohm, brought from a radio rally), but he was having none of it. Anyway, I used a water pipe as an earth and chucked some wire out of the class window as an aerial and got it working.
He was astonished
That I am glad to hear, especially the apology bit.decided to go and look up crystal sets, just in case I hid some transistors in there for his beloved amplification theory. Anyway, he later apologised to me.
"If you don't understand how it works, however do you expect to repair it?"
"...the knowledge and understanding of my lecturers was...."Your second correction is inaccurate. How ironic.
You were correct to give up the debate, but you should not have given up completely. The answer was simply to build a stretchable ruler and prove it to her.After a long debate I had to give up because she was the principle of the school.. she said that the ruler shows more.
This is also the case sometimes.I repair many things (and it seems to be more and more with time). Usually I don't know how the broken thing works, but I find this out in the process of repairing.
