Hey there,
I have a couple of questions that may seem a little stupid, but anyway:
I've been a bit of research into the Chandrasekhar limit and have unsuccessfully tried to find an equation/estimation that sums it up as I have seen so many floating around on the internet. Variations from...
Thanks for replying.
I've read them both but neither are particularly specific... they imply but don't state and I don't think you can take an implication as fact.
...exploding nuclear weapons in the atmosphere? Test Ban Treaty 1963?
Thanks, that was really interesting!
I have another couple of quick questions I can't seem to find the answer to. On the Wiki page, it says:
"Silicon transistors are much more vulnerable than vacuum tubes to an electromagnetic pulse generated by a high-altitude nuclear explosion."
Why is this such a problem? Were...
Thanks to everyone for replying :) I appreciate the insights you've all given. I'm going to do a little more research and then bring it up with him when I next see him.
Greetings,
I had an argument with my substitute Physics teacher about the use of the transistor and how important it is/was. Basically, we were debating whether or not it is important because of the invention or whether it was purely the concept that made it so important.
His argument was...
I have the number 64. Other than by trial and error, or by simply knowning that the answer is 4, is there an equation that would give me that value of 4 as the cubic root?
Is there a mathematical equation to find square/cubic/etc. roots of a number?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - this is purely for my own interest. Also, I;m doing the C2 module of AS Maths so I may not understand more complex terms used in an explanation (if any are needed) - apologies...
