Now where's the hypothetical fun in that?

So I was sitting around pondering about forces, and I found myself thinking about shock-waves. Whether they're caused by supersonic travel, or explosions, the pressure at the front of the wave-bow shock pressure is a force. So I started thinking of a way to generate them without having to go...

Ok thanks for your help!

Ok. Trying to simplify this and knowing that the current through each resistors is ONLY it's corresponding current number. V3-I3*R3-I6*R6+I1*R1-V1=0 V3-I3*R3-I5*R5+I2*R2-V2=0 V1-I1*R1-I4*R4+I2*R2-V2=0 Am I at least on the right track?

Thanks for the reply. Ok, then I'm confused. So for the left area it goes: V3-I3*R3-I3*R6-I3*R1-V1=0 So then what happens to I1 and I6?

So just me trying to wrap my head around this :olduhh:-no matter what the Americium is surrounded by, the alpha decay will cause the surrounding material to heat up? And the amount of heat produced is correspondent to the mass of the sample of Americium.

I'm trying to tinker with a little home radioactive material, like Americium-241. I'm taking all the precautions for shielding, even though Americium isn't that dangerous behind any surface. So I understand the physics behind WHY radioactive decay generates heat, I'm wondering, though, what...

So I'm just asking a hypothetical question here, just looking for insight on something I'm thinking about really. Scientists are able to reach almost absolute zero by slowing the movement of particles with lasers. So I was thinking, is the inverse possible? If a laser was to strike incident...

Homework Statement For a string of length 100m with fixed ends, a pulse is traveling to the right at a speed of 40 m/sec. The pulse has a wavelength of 2 meters and an amplitude of .1 m. Homework Equations y=A*Sin(kx-wt) ((where w is omega)) \lambda=2*pi/k frequency=w/2pi...

Hey guys. I'm building a mini electric generator and I would like some clarification on Faraday's Law. So his law states that: V=-N*(ΔBA)/(Δt) Where voltage generated equals the number of turns times the negative rate of magnetic flux. So my question regards the number of turns part...

Maybe I'm missing the concept then. I don't really understand why they'd have the same frequency. If one mass is heavier than the other wouldn't it have a lower frequency?

Oops, I did miss a negative. So it'd be m1*a1=-m1*g*(x1/l)-kΔx m2*a2=-m2*g*(x2/l)+kΔx Ploughing through it and setting some constant (I'm going to pick \eta) \eta=mn*xn And using \omegag,n2=(g*mn)/l So then: \eta1+\omegag,12*x1 \eta2+\omegag,22*x2 Then solving them I get (I...

Homework Statement (The picture is having trouble being directed so I attached it) Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the normal modes of a pendulum with two different masses. The lengths of the strings are the same and the weight of the strings are negligible. I can easily find everything...
