haruspex's latest activity
-
haruspex replied to the thread Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force.I feel it’s more likely a lack of peer review. A committee might have done better. -
haruspex replied to the thread Chain falling out of a horizontal tube onto a table.When writing "ln(x)” in LaTeX, you can make it clearer with "\ln": ##\ln(x)## v. ##ln(x)##. This avoids confusion when ##l## or ##n##... -
haruspex replied to the thread Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force.It's intriguing that two authoritative-looking sources provide different answers. Maybe somebody at oswaal360 realised the CBSE answer... -
haruspex replied to the thread Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force.I must be misinterpreting what you are saying. As I read the above, you are saying that if in one frame they are both moving at... -
haruspex replied to the thread Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force.I do not understand. If they move with the same velocity in one frame they must move at the same velocity in all frames. Besides, the... -
haruspex replied to the thread Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force.I'd forgotten this puzzled me in the past: whether there is a magnetic field from a current must depend on the frame of reference... -
haruspex replied to the thread Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect.Well, it doesn’t say the moth is flying directly towards the bat. Perhaps it was supposed to tell you it was flying at an angle of 60°... -
haruspex replied to the thread Speed of moth related to Doppler Effect.Not so. -
haruspex replied to the thread Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe.Yes. -
haruspex replied to the thread Bullet collision question.Not quite, and this makes the question quite tricky. It is (minus) the ratio of the relative velocity components normal to the plane of... -
haruspex replied to the thread Minimum height of water to make the particle visible.As stated in post #1, @palaphys knows how to solve the problem. The question being asked of the forum is why the suggested alternative... -
haruspex replied to the thread Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe.Not quite that simple. When you put your finger on the top the air pressure is still atmospheric: same number of molecules at the same... -
haruspex replied to the thread Flux through a ring due to two charges.Then I confirm your results. What would the net flux be if they were both +q and equidistant on opposite sides? (Consider symmetry.)... -
haruspex replied to the thread Static Mechanics: Aircraft Nosewheel Linkage Torque.A free body diagram shows the forces on a single rigid body. Here you have a linkage, so you need an FBD for each moving part. This... -
haruspex replied to the thread Stacked blocks & pulley system.Do you mean, you don’t know if it is the smallest mass that would cause them to slide up? Why does that matter? What allows you to...
