    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)...

    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...

    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...

    Helicopter in a Moving Train: Will it Crash or Stay in the Air?

    It's like saying, "If I'm in an airplane. Will I be smashed against the tail if I'm in the middle and jump up?"

    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.

    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 =...

    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.

    Does the Pauli Exclusion Principle Apply to All Types of Particles and Atoms?

    Is there any other then bosons that it doesn't work for?
