Undergrad Running percentage increases and amount of doubles
Makes good sense. So that would mean that they have defined the original amounts as the opening prices for the trading day... Aha...- MathiasArendru

Undergrad Running percentage increases and amount of doubles
Hello people. I want to start of with my first question. What got me thinking about this is actually stock price movements. If a stock rises from 10$ to 15$ on a day, it will have increased by 50% obviously. But what wonders me is what if we break the small movements down. Say that first it...- MathiasArendru

Photon energy and calculating frequency
Actually you're right haha, when i first heard it, it just seemed like too much and i didnt think about it any further but obviously it is. and converting to joules was a task included in the assignment. Thanks- MathiasArendru

Photon energy and calculating frequency
Hello guys, I am having a bit of trouble with some homework So I am told that a photon in a light beam has an energy og 2,12 eV. First i have to calculate the energy of it in joules, and since 1 eV is 1,60*10^-19 Joules 2,12 eV in joules is just 2,12*1,60*10^-19 = 3.392*10−19 J i got that. Then...- MathiasArendru

Undergrad Understanding Redshift: Mathias' 15-Year-Old Query
Hello guys! I know what redshift is and all concerning it, so i have a good understanding of it. Though there is something that my 15 year old little head can't really seem to understand... When a star emits its photon, it travels to us and due to the accelerating distance between it and us...- MathiasArendru

Undergrad How to Derive the Lorentz Factor from Pythagoras?
Yea no problem but there i can just add 3x^2 to both sides, in my example its v^2t^2 so i can't do the same thing here?- MathiasArendru

Undergrad How to Derive the Lorentz Factor from Pythagoras?
Exacly that's the though part, because normally i would just divide out the t^2 but that won't help in this example as it would leave me with a 1 on the LHS.. and that wouldn't help much,, is there some mechanism or method that i am missing that could solve this? i feel like there's something i...- MathiasArendru

Undergrad How to Derive the Lorentz Factor from Pythagoras?
ok ill try: c^2t^2 = c^2x^2 + v^2t^2 t^2 = \frac{c^2x^2 + v^2t^2}{c^2} Dividing both sides by t^2 1 = \frac{c^2x^2 + v^2t^2}{c^2t^2} im stuck... lol normally i don't really have trouble when solving for variables but this one irritates me.. can i have another hint ? :)- MathiasArendru

right its me god I am stupid! he solved for t not gamma don't really know what went through my head while i wrote it. i corrected it in the post now- MathiasArendru

Undergrad How to Derive the Lorentz Factor from Pythagoras?
Hey guys, this is a little silly question but it bothers me. I am not a math genius (yet i hope) and I am still in elementary school so there's a lot to learn. But i just read about the lorenz factor in this example he basically used pythagoras of this light clock in a train, so it started of as...- MathiasArendru

Graduate Infinite universe but finite beginning?
Woow quite an explanation you made there ! Its really difficult to wrap my head around but i think its starting to settle and I am only in high school so my education level doesn't help me heh. Now the thing that has been confusing me for a while (which i felt that you clarified here) is the...- MathiasArendru

Graduate Infinite universe but finite beginning?
Hmm okay. Its just that to me it sounds like when people mention it, that its a well known idea that the universe was a little "ball" to begin with. But guess i just misunderstood it- MathiasArendru

Graduate Infinite universe but finite beginning?
As far as i understand the current big bang theory, it started as a extremely dense object, finite in size. But we still think (or well it is very accepted to belive) that the universe is infinite. I know inflation should be though as an expansion everywhere at the same time rather than the ball...- MathiasArendru

Magnetic Flux through a Closed Surface
Well the magnetic flux describes the TOTAL flux through the surface. There is still magnetic fields flowing out of the surface, but because no monopoles exist, the flux has to equal 0 because the same amount that exist also enters. Referring to amperes law ∇ x B = \frac{∂D}{∂t} + J That saying...- MathiasArendru
