berkeman reacted to Steve4Physics's post in the thread Looking for lab experiments for a High School Physics class with
Like.
From what you have said, it sounds like the students are working at an introductory level. You might need to improvise a bit but here... -
berkeman replied to the thread Induction heating of aluminum strip possible?.That was my first thought as well. Seems like a natural way to do it. -

Compressed air flows to the foot of a pipe while the key is pressed. Each pipe generates a different note, with harmonics, called... -
berkeman replied to the thread Undergrad Measured Spectrum of Stopped Wood Organ Pipe Shows ALL Overtones.Sorry, I have a question about the driving function of a wooden organ. What happens when the organist presses an organ key? Is there a... -

Oops, I carelessly made it look that it is useless. The second equation should be... -
berkeman reacted to kuruman's post in the thread Angle between two alpha particle tracks due to proton bombardment of a nuclei with
Informative.
I don't think it is correct to write the momentum of the proton as ##mv## because that is not the relativistic expression. You are given... -
berkeman reacted to Dale's post in the thread Undergrad Comparing ##a^b## and ##b^a## with
Informative.
Mathematica has a function called "RegionPlot" that makes them very easy. Without the "pretty" options for the labels and the gridlines... -
berkeman replied to the thread Undergrad Comparing ##a^b## and ##b^a##.Cool plot! How did you generate it?
