Finding the Angles: A Trigonometric Problem
\tan(\alpha + \beta) = \frac{tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)}{1-\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)} \tan(x - 30) = \frac{tan(x)+\tan(-30)}{1-\tan(x)\tan(-30)} \frac{tan(x)+\tan(-30)}{1-\tan(x)\tan(-30)}=\tan(50) \tan(x)+\tan(-30)=\tan(50) - \tan(x)\tan(-30)\tan(50) \tan(x) + \tan(x)...- Kahsi

How can I determine the absorption coefficient \mu?
I have done this, I = I_0e^{-x\mu} \frac{I}{I_0} =e^{-x\mu} \ln\left(\frac{I}{I_0}\right) =-x\mu \ln\left I =-x\mu + \ln I_0 Then if we take ln(numbers of decays) we would have this graph: y = ax + b a = \mu = y' then I just have to do a linear regression and get the value of...- Kahsi

How can I determine the absorption coefficient \mu?
Hi. I have done this lab where I had a GM-detector and some leadboards. I was mesuring how many decay it detected and tryed 0 - 6 leadboards to see the difference. We know that I = I_0e^{-x\mu} How can I find out the value of \mu in the...- Kahsi

Solve Speed Problem: Plate Reaches 40m Height & 70m Length
Thank you for the reply krab. I have now another question. We know that mgh = \frac{mv^2}{2} => h = \frac{v^2}{2g} And we also know that s = v_0t + \frac{at^2}{2} When it's a free fall v_0 = 0. That gives us s = -\frac{gt^2}{2} So what's the difference between s and h? Thank you.- Kahsi

Solve Speed Problem: Plate Reaches 40m Height & 70m Length
Hi. A man is throwing a plate in the air. The plate reaches the height of 40m and the length of 70m. What was the speed of the plate? This is what I've done v_y: mgh = \frac{mv^2}{2} => v = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2*9,82*40} = 28m/s v_x: v = v_0 + at => t = 28/9,82 = 2,85s s =...- Kahsi

Undergrad Calculating the energy of an electron
Let's say that an electron is having the speed of X m/s. So the energy is sometimes calculated like this: (1)E= \frac{mv^2}{2} and sometimes like this (2)E = mc^2 + \frac{mv^2}{2} When should I use 1 and when should I use 2? Thank you for any help.- Kahsi
