Hi everyone,
Im looking to measure the resistance of a 3-wire RTD using a basic data acquisition system and LabVIEW. My DAQ "box" doesn't have any internal excitation sources, and I realize one is necessary to measure resistance across the RTD element. I'm unsure as to how to construct am...
(Note that this is not a homework question, but rather something I'm pursing in my leisure)
I'd to do a quick calculation to see what sort of power I would need to raise the temperature of a small sphere (1cm diameter, made of plastic or glass) with an absorption coefficient of about .5. I...
One more thing that I just noticed:
That car has to travel 6m in 9-13s and 13-23s. The exact times will be given by the instructor, so the resistor would have to be really percise in order to adjust it to the right amount. The thing I am worried about is how to stop the car or cut the power...
To answer your questions:
1) We are allowed the change any parameter of the car we like in order to adjust the time it takes, but it still must stop exactly at 7.00m
2) The car can stop however we want it as long as we don't place anything on the course, so we can't just place a barrier at...
Hi everyone,
We recently were assigned a Variable Velocity Vehicle Project (VVV) in my physics class. The idea is we are supposed to create a vehicle (with 4 wheels) that:
1) That should travel 6.00m and keep moving an additional meter before stopping. In other words, it has to stop at 7...
Im working on a design for a physics project where I have to build a bridge to span a length of about 50 cm. I've looked at some different truss designs and I've decided that I want to do a K truss- I've read that it distributes force more evenly when loaded from the center (which is where mine...
