    Bubble chamber experiment help

    For this experiment, you don't have to go into the lab. I thought it would be a breeze but I was wrong. The problem I'm having is collecting the data. The figures given are to be used to find the data but I don't know what I'm looking at and how to find the tan planes. Is there someway to...

    Write the vector V=i+2j+3k at the point (x,y,z)=(1,1,0)

    jlmac2001 Question: Write the vector V=i+2j+3k at the point (x,y,z)=(1,1,0) in terms of the spherical polar coordinate unit vectors r, theta and phi at that point. Do this again at the point (x,y,z)=(1,1,1). Check your answers by checking the norm of both vectors and comparing to the norm in...

    Solvng a differential equation

    Problem: A cylindrical bucket of cross-sectional area A has water in it up to an initial depth of d at t=0. The water has density p, an the gravitational acceleration is g. The water leaks out the bucket through a hole in the bottom with the rate of change of he volume of the water in the...

    Solving motion of undamped harmonic oscillator

    The question is: Solve for the motion of the undamped harmonic oscillator with an applied force F, treated in class, when the force is no longer constant but has the form F=F0+kT, where Fo and k are constants. Use the intial conditions x(0)=d and x'(0) =v0. I'm trying to solve this problem...

    Help understanding question

    The question asks to prove the following by writing each sine and cosine function as a sum of exponentials of arguments inwt or imwt: integral from -pi/w to pi/w (cos (nwt)cos(mwt) dt) = {0 for n not equal to m, pi/w for n=m not equal to 0 , 2pi/w for n=m=0 Would I write the cosine funtion...

    How is this related to entropy?

    I don't get want a computer has to do with entropy. Can someone explain this question? A bit of computer memory is some physical object that can be in two different states, often interpreted as 0 to 1. A byte is eight bits, a kilobyte is 1024 (=2^10) bytes, a megabyte is 1024 kilobyes and a...
