    Troubleshooting MATLAB Loops: Solving a Logmap Function Error

    this worked fine, but i managed a different solution before i saw your post, thanks all the same BerryBoy :)

    Troubleshooting MATLAB Loops: Solving a Logmap Function Error

    Hi guys, sorry if i didn't follow the template but its more of a quick query than proper laid out question, but it is part of my coursework...anyway here goes; I'm having a bit of trouble with an m-file in matlab, i posted earlier but i appreciate that post was too vague for a response...

    Using Finite Difference Method In Excel

    ------Question------ a) Research the three finite difference approximations mentioned above (forward, backward and central). Use a spreadsheet to demonstrate each of these numerical methods for the function below. y=x3 −x2 +0.5x Investigate the derivative over the range x = [0,1], using...

    Calculating Redshift to Using Hubble Constant and Distance

    yeah the Lorentz factor was 1.00... so i just used z=v/c

    Calculating Redshift to Using Hubble Constant and Distance

    A redshift survey has identified a galaxy cluster for which it infers a di stance of 520 Mpc. At what redshift is this cluster observed to be? You may use H0 = 72 km s−1 Mpc−1 Now call me old fashioned but don't i need some kind of relativistic speed to calculate the redshift, i mean i have a...

    Radioactive Nuclear Polonium Battery Question

    Thanks for the reply phyzguy i was thinking i needed loads of extra info but now i realize the only bit of information about Po 210 that I could find online would be its half life as the activity and decay constant etc etc etc depend on how much of the stuff is left in this case 320g

    Radioactive Nuclear Polonium Battery Question

    Question The α-emitter 210, 84 Po is used in a nuclear battery. The kinetic energy of the emitted alpha particles can be worked out from energy and momentum conservation. It is converted into electrical energy at 5.0% efficiency. (a) Determine the initial power output (in W) of the battery...

    Why is Half a Wavelength the First Harmonic in Standing Wave Harmonics?

    Why does half a wave length and not a full wave length constitute the first harmonic? v=\lambdaf because a standing waves can be made with two half waves traveling in opposite directions?

    How is mass density affected by speeds near c?

    ah i see! thanks a lot, i think i will be frequenting these forums often in the future

    How is mass density affected by speeds near c?

    well, i mean i took a guess that it takes that form, but is gamma squared or cubed?...anything that could change the proportionality...you know :) cheers

    How is mass density affected by speeds near c?

    sorry just saw that this should have gone in the H/W section :rolleyes:

    How is mass density affected by speeds near c?

    basically what is the relationship between mass density at "zero" speed and mass density at speeds nearing the speed of light (0.98c,0.99c etc) in the form M = \gamma Mo if possible Thanks a lot guys!
