Homework Statement The conducting rod ab shown in the figure (Figure 1) makes contact with metal rails ca and db. The apparatus is in a uniform magnetic field 0.800 T, perpendicular to the plane of the figure. If the resistance of the circuit abdc is 1.50 Ω (assumed to be constant), find...

Homework Statement I'm supposed to determine the equation of motion of the two masses on the worksheet. I just need to start with that. Here is the problem statement: http://www.physics.udel.edu/~jim/PHYS211_14S/Homework%20assignments/Assignment%205%20-%20coupled%20oscillations.pdf...

Homework Statement The ammonia molecule (NH3) has a dipole moment of 5.0×10−30C⋅m. Ammonia molecules in the gas phase are placed in a uniform electric field E⃗ with magnitude 1.0×106N/C. What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its...

I'm interested in your advice and any insight you may provide. Thank you. I am just starting my second semester last week as a freshman in the undergraduate physics program at the Uni of Delaware. The fall semester went well and I understood the material fairly well since the semester focused...

Homework Statement I have tried this thrice now, to no avail. Please help me. Here is the problem: "In the figure, block 1 has mass m1 = 430 g, block 2 has mass m2 = 580 g, and the pulley is on a frictionless horizontal axle and has radius R = 4.9 cm. When released from rest, block 2 falls 74...

is it either 2.25 or 3.375 ? or something along those lines...like the number plus half of itself repeatedly? or it is either an infinite amount of $'s.or is it free?

...or the computer has a camera and uses facial recognition to login...and he can't reach the camera...

That is a good point you made, (about an observer being in a superposition themselves). How would you describe the interaction between two observers observing each other?!...Or perhaps even multiple observers observing each other? If they were to not interact with any other observer, their...

If everything in the universe is created by our minds, where did our minds come from? How could something that is (supposedly) not real (our minds) create something else, may it be real or not?

SprocketPower, Thank you, I am looking forward to reading them. I recently read Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed. I suggest you get it; it explains alternate interpretations of QP well, and also has a great chapter on the history of QP. It is a good book to read if you are a visual learner...

these are 3 of my top 15, but i change it nearly every time i use my comp. :)

an answer to the OP: I think it depends on the interpretation of quantum physics you prefer. If you would agree with the Copenhagen interpretation you would say it doesn't matter because you could never know anyway. I, with my limited knowledge of the subject, think that the tree is in a...
