    What is the power output in kW for this measurement?

    ... After some more thinking...I think it should be 0.62069 kW. Would this be correct?

    What is the power output in kW for this measurement?

    Homework Statement We used a watt-hour meter in a lab, 400 revolutions of the dial = 1kWh. We measured the time for 10 revolutions of the dial ( in seconds). How would I calculate the power? Time for 10 revs = 146s Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Power = (3600s/hr) / (146s) *...

    Graduate Proof of Superposition Principle

    Hey, I was recently reading "If an electron can be in 2 places at once, why can't you?" in the new Discover magazine when I came across the superposition principle ( I have heard of it before, just never really looked into it). They said that evidence of the phenomena could be found in the...

    Can (v1-v2) Prove the Existence of the Smallest Unit of Electric Charge?

    When I did the experiment, I found that (v1 - v2) was constant... Well pretty much, it fluctuated a little bit...

    Can (v1-v2) Prove the Existence of the Smallest Unit of Electric Charge?

    We recently did a lab where we were given an animation of the oil drop experiment, and we were supposed to find the velocity of the droplet when Fg and FQ were in the same direction (v1) and when Fg and FQ were in opposite directions (v2)... Then we found (v1 - v2) and were told to analyze and...
