My area of concern is C) and if I am correct in assuming it is like Faradays cage, but I am new to all this so I also put down A and B also. If you charge up a Van de Graaff Generator and then bring an identical but uncharged hollow conducting sphere near it, without letting the two spheres...

Thank you all for the responses. So if the Big Bang was in a state of tiny entropy, why when looking at the CMB radiation we notice there is thermal equilibrium? Wouldn't this imply maximum entropy even during the beginning of the Big Bang also. (I could be misunderstanding the idea of...

I am reading Cycles of Time by Penrose, page 71-72. Could someone explain if the universe started out with at a state of extraordinarily tiny entropy or a state of maximum entropy and what proof or theories do we have to justify this choice. I find the explanation in the book confusing...

I agree that the math behind the the function is very important. As far as 1/sinx goes, I guess I could set up equation that it would be easier to use the csc, but I was hoping for a real world example that involved graphing, like using the sine or cosine function with sunrises or using the...

I am math teacher and was asked the classic question, "Where am I ever going to use this in life" I usually have a real word example, but for the cosecant function I am stuck (Besides higher level math classes.) Anyone know a specific example?

Homework Statement I can't seem to find any books on this or website to learn from. Has anyone even heard of orbit of z besides the in the Mandelbrot set I am trying to figure out the orbit of z when x= 1 radian and z = cos(x)+isin(x) I realize that it orbits the unit circle, but I would...

I have tried all the possible inequalities but still nothing, the problem i am having is M could be anywhere so AB could be bigger or small them BM depending. Any other ideas by any chance.:smile: Thanks Cantor

I have a question involving the measure of segments If m is a point inside a triangle ABC how could we prove that segment BM+CM < AB+AC. I am trying to use the Triangle Inequality Theorem (If A, B, C are three non-collinear points then AC < AB+BC) but I am stuck. Should I prove by...
