    What are some examples of software malpractice in Electrical Engineering?

    I have a project where I need to research and report on an Electrical Engineering malpractice. Basically, where the engineer faulted the design. I can't find anything with any amount of information. Anyone have any ideas or topics? I was thinking of the California blackouts but there isn't...

    Wave interference, finding amplitude in certain situations

    What is The amplitude of the sound if the speakers are placed side by side? A = 2*a*cos(\Delta\Phi/ 2) The amplitude has its max value A=2a if cos(\Delta\Phi/2) = +/- 1. This is not the case so take a out. 2*cos(\Delta\Phi/2)=.765 Something a friend told me that's a little clearer to me and...

    How Fast Does the Rim of a Spinning Disk Travel?

    Problem 13.30 A thin, 60.0g disk with a diameter of 7.00 cm rotates about an axis through its center with 0.240 J of kinetic energy. What is the speed of a point on the rim? Homework Equations m=.06kg r=.035m KE=.240J The Attempt at a Solution K=(1/2)*I*(w^2) I=(1/2)*M*R^2 I'm using the...

    Kinetic Energy and Rolling motion

    Yes, I got 1.35 J also but it is not correct.

    Kinetic Energy and Rolling motion

    Just mv^2 does not work.My buddy has a different values and he got 0.443 for the question: A 500g, 8.0-cm-diameter can rolls across the floor at 1.0 m/s. What's the can's kinetic energy.

    Kinetic Energy and Rolling motion

    Oops sry, I = (.5*m*r^2)

    Kinetic Energy and Rolling motion

    A 500g, 8.0-cm-diameter can rolls across the floor at 1.0 m/s. What's the can's kinetic energy. I solved this using: K = \frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^{2} and for some reason I get 1/3 the answer. So I multiplied it by 3 at the end. Is there something wrong with the formula I'm using...

    Finding Mass of Sled: Calculate m_S with Given Quantities

    A girl of mass m_G is walking up a slippery slope while pulling a sled of unknown mass; the slope makes an angle theta with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the girl's boots and the slope is mu_s; the friction between the sled and the slope is negligible. It turns out...
