What is Increasing: Definition and 468 Discussions

Hello, I would like to ask a question regarding possible change of orbital conformation of a fullerene particle filled with metal. Is there any basis to the assumption that for if you encase a metal, such as a round nanoparticle of lead cooled to minimal thermodynamical state, just so it fits...

I'm not entirely clear what shunt resistance is, it's fairly hard to find things on google which refer to it in the context of LEDs. So we did an experiment in which we measured the IV characteristics of InAs at different temperatures, and observed the gradients of these graphs (apparently those...

Is it possible to position enough locations around the globe, that rocket thrust on the proper tangential direction might fire simultaneously and cause the Earths rotational speed to increase by some small amount ? What considerations would need to be contemplated as to how this would impact...

I'm using the book of Jerome Keisler: Elementary calculus an infinitesimal approach. I have trouble understanding the proof of the following theorem. I'm not sure what it means. Theorem: "An increasing sequence <Sn> either converges or diverges to infinity." Proof: Let T be the set of all real...

Hi, I am in the process of calibrating our GC and one of the products we expect to find in our experiment is H2O2, but we only have 30% H2O2 in the lab. I can test 5% to 25% by dissolving further in water, so I can get some sort of calibration curve, but I'm stuck at 30%, is there a simple way...

Hi, so whilst doing some reading I came across a section that said the most efficient way to increase your orbital energy when in an elliptical orbit is to fire your 'boosters' at perigee. I understand that the satellite is moving faster, but why should this mean that more energy is imparted to...

how is this true? I get that it's the rate of change of flux, and if you have a graph of flux linkage against time, the gradient with a constant gradient then emf is constant since it IS the gradient... But how? If the flux linkage is increasing, why doesn't the emf?

We have a 'T' bar shaped frame with a pulley wheel at each end then a wire passing across the pulleys with a 10 kg weight attached to each end making each side perfectly balanced. If we were to physically pull down the weight on one side thus upsetting the balance against gravity, could the...

Homework Statement A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 4.50 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 420 kg/min. What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep the car moving at constant speed if friction is negligible? Homework Equations U=V+dV-Vrel , U...

So the main reason I'm posting about this problem is that one of the teaching assistants helped me with this problem, but a buddy of mine got something different on part A and part B (Assess). So I wanted to post up here and see what you guys say. 1. Homework Statement The loop in the...

I am currently using the Adafruit Motor Shield in conjunction with an Arduino Motor Shield to control two 7.2V DC Motors. The DC Motors are being powered by a 7.2V, 3000 mAh Nimh battery. When the two DC Motors are being powered in parallel directly by the Nimh battery, they are able to move...

I am not studying physics so I apologies for my limited knowledge in advance. I felt if I increased speed of reps with sub-maximal weights this increase of speed would increase my 1 rep max using n e=mc2. I'm now not sure as this implies I'm using more energy not applying more force or power...

The explanation of a continuous Markov process X(t) defines an indexed collection of sigma algebras by \mathcal{F}_t = \sigma\{ X(s): s < t\} and this collection is said to be increasing with respect to the index t . I'm trying to understand why the notation used for set inclusion is...

For a spring and mass system, I've learned the resonance frequency of a system increases with decrease in mass. Not sure if this case is also related but when I attach a coin sized metal onto a piezoelectric material of a smaller size, the resonance frequency range actually goes up (from...

hello In venturi meters, orifice plate meters and generally when there is a neck, constriction at a point in a pipe there is, at that point, a drop in pressure and an increase in velocity, so that the whole energy is preserved (theoretically) my question is, why if we increase the flow rate...

I know to find the time it takes to travel a distance, you divide the distance by the speed.. but what if you have an increasing speed? Say I wanted to travel 5 miles.. and I start off at 0 mph and by the time I reached the 5 mile mark, I would be traveling at 40 mph and there was a steady...

Starting from the FRW metric (for simplicity flat space, radial direction only): $$ds^2=-c^2dt^2+a(t)^2dr^2$$ If we take dt=0 then the proper distance ds(t) between two spatially separated points at cosmological time t is given by: $$ds(t)=a(t)dr$$ Now at the present time t_0 we can define...
