    What Happens in a Relativistic Particle Collision?

    Well i was thinking that seeing as Particle A is moving at a speed close to that of light, relative to Particle A, both the observer and Particle B would appear to be going at that speed seiing as it is impossible to go faster than the speed of light.

    What Happens in a Relativistic Particle Collision?

    Suppose 2 particles are heading towards each other at a speed very close to the speed of light (relative to a stationary observer). Relative to the observer they would collide at a given point. But if you look at it relative to one or the other particle, the collission would happen elsewhere...

    DC to AC oscilator and transformer

    Hello, can someone please help me out here, i want to step up the voltage of a 1.5V battery to 300V, i know that to do so you need an oscilatro circuit consisting of a transformer a small capacitor and a transistor. so my question is, does the type of transistor/capacitor i use matter?

    Will a Random Number Generator Eventually Repeat Its Numbers?

    look quantum events are the only type of events which are unpredictable. i am just saying that even with a finite set, other input sources are predictable and controlable. I am not in any way commenting on the practicality of any of my suggestions above because they are impossible, just like...

    What is Mass? Understanding the Concept of Matter and Mass

    Weight is a measure of how much force is acting on an object due to gravity. Mass is the measure of how much substance is in the sample. Matter is just a word saying anything that occupies space.

    Will a Random Number Generator Eventually Repeat Its Numbers?

    yes, zero and one and two would be perfectly valid. but what would the probability of geting it be? \frac{1}{\infty} Try thinking of the biggest number you can think of. then visualise its place in the number line and zoom out, the number line never ends. eventually that number along with...

    Will a Random Number Generator Eventually Repeat Its Numbers?

    That would be quite random i imagine, however it would still be predictable and you will not be able to get it in the domain of {0 =< x < inf} as it will only give you a very long number. lets take a look at probability from the basics. let x= possible outcomes and u= favorable outcomes. The...

    Will a Random Number Generator Eventually Repeat Its Numbers?

    OK, if you want a randon integer number in the set {-inf < x < inf} or {0 < x < inf} you would get a number infinete in lenght. And i think QM would be pretty appropriate here. forget decimal, think binary. the only truly random event is nuclear decay (or so we think as observing it makes it...

    Can You Solve This Hilarious Limit Problem Involving Sine and Infinity?

    Mathematical proof that women are evil First we know that women are the product of time and money Women = Time * Money Then we know that time is money Women = Money * Money And that money is the root of all evil Women = Sqrt(Evil) * Sqrt(Evil) Women = Evil

    Minimizing Surface Area of a Can

    minimise, that's something new, well to minimise why just not have a can at all? make r=0. this is one of the roots of the equation you gave me and it it the only min turnning point as d^2/dx^2 at the point is greater than 0. Moreso the other root 0.025 has d^2y/dx^2 less than 0 making it a...

    Integral of Sqrt(x^2+arccos(x)) from 1√3 to 1√3

    either that or arctan instead of arccos but i highly doubt it seeing it is 1squareroot3 not just squareroot3
