    How fast is the fly's shadow moving?

    Your angle marked as 66 degrees is wrong. The bearing of 204 is from north, isn't it? So, what will be the angle made with the south direction, which is a bearing of 180?

    Electromagnetic field theory -- Potential inside a conducting sphere

    This is your question, not the statement of the problem.

    A three month long summer vacation from public school seems stupid

    More does not imply better. If you can't improve the 9 months or whatever is it now, what a couple months more do? Thinking that there are simple solutions to complex problems is tempting. Can be dangerous too when the simple "solution" is forced from a position of power.

    A three month long summer vacation from public school seems stupid

    Sorry, wrong quote. I quoted you quoting the original. I eliminated the author. Anyway, I answered the idea not necessarily the author of it. Didn't know what else to do to correct it.

    A three month long summer vacation from public school seems stupid

    "But keep teachers busy for the summer, working in schools for one month (being forced to research, bring new approach to material taught, even in sciences), with only one month paid leave in the summer." Teachers need the break at least as much as the children, if not more. (I am not a...

    A three month long summer vacation from public school seems stupid

    But you'll have to replace the teachers every few years. Thinking about summer vacation it's what keeps them going. I suppose you don't realize how nerve breaking is teaching middle and elementary school nowadays. Or maybe you are in a very nice environment and not a run of the mill public...

    Current through shorted branch -- clarification

    The larger question does not matter for the OP question. As you already figured out, it was just a matter of comparing two different circuits so each version of the answer is right for the right circuit.

    Current through shorted branch -- clarification

    Is this diagram from the "some source"? Adding the inductor does not change the premise of your original question. "Some source" is not a very useful reference.

    Current through shorted branch -- clarification

    Are you sure that the polarity of the batteries in "some source" was the same as in your case?

    Different way to find center of mass of Hollow hemisphere

    If you use x as the horizontall coordinate, the width of these strips is not dx.

    Different way to find center of mass of Hollow hemisphere

    You may get better/more answers if you formulate a more specific question rather than just this "check my work" format with three pages of hand written formulas with not much explanations of what they mean. Marking hand-written homework is a very tedious job.

    15 Years at PF!

    17 years in less than a month. Not very active lately. Getting older I suppose. But still one of the first things I do in the morning is go on PF to see the new postings. Before/(instead of) looking into the news feed. Better incentive to start a new day than the news. Never depressing. :smile:
