    What do you do when you get home?

    Usualy after i get home from class I spend majority of my time working on my robot playing halo or hanging out with my girlfriend. Although sometimes when I'm feeling extra ambitious Il spend my time learning about some of the more interesting/difficult parts of math and physics.

    Why isn't my electromagnet working?

    In my adventures through my attempt at a home laboratory i decided i would try to play with electricity a bit more. I took an iron cylinder 1 inch diameter 6 inch length and wrapped about 4 meters of 1mm copper wire around it with a small length hanging off each side. To my understanding...

    Sin[θ+(pi/6)] Multiple values?

    Question: If cosθ=(3/5) and 0<θ<2pi determine the value of sin[θ+(pi/6)] Attempt: θ=cos^-1(3/5) θ=0.927295218 sin[θ+(pi/6)]=0.992820323 real answer = 0.992820323, -0.39282 How do i find the second value, all i can find is 0.992820323 but not -0.39282

Obviously the wheels would be spinning resulting the the belt spinning and energy...

    I Calculating Radius and Mass of Disc for Velocity 0.75C

    I took a look at Ehrenfest paradox and the radius is still confusing me. If the circumference changes due to SR why can we not say that C=2piR and C'=2piR' so R does not = R'
