    I Is Capacitor Voltage Curved Like a Hyperbola?

    Hi Vanhees71 ! I had come up with Vres(t) = R/rc (1 - exp (-t/rc) where Vres(t) = voltage across the resistor at time t R = input volts per second across the series resistor capacitor r= ohms c = farads Vres(t) = R/rc approaches a max value as t goes infinite voltage across the cap...

    Must the limits on the propagation speed of waves refer to a media?

    I agree i was comparing 2 flashlights to billions of flashlights suggesting the flashlights need to be one wavelength apart to be fair. If the lights are not that close together then nothing can be proved. Even with a timing device, 3 lights, 2 light years apart proves nothing as far as a real...

    Crank Journal Turning w/ Attached Bar: Does it Ever Stop Moving?

    Ok you are talking about a connecting rod? Does the rod stop moving at a certain point? For that to happen the con rod has to change direction. The crankshaft is always going in the same direction and one end of the con rod is connected to the crank so in that regard, the crank connected part...

    Must the limits on the propagation speed of waves refer to a media?

    You say "with a proper schedule" the flash light turn on in sequence. Turning on the flashlights quickly in sequence should give the illusion of something happening faster than light speed To do so would require a way to switch on the flashlights in sequence and this would require a timing...

    I Is Capacitor Voltage Curved Like a Hyperbola?

    Ok Hi everyone! I was working on what would happen if you apply a linear increasing voltage to a series capacitor resistor. The question is : If the capacitor voltage is plotted, is the cap voltage curve hyperbolic? I've done some plots on the cap voltage and it sure looks hyperbolic but I...

    I A question about time dilation

    A satellite is one condition of free fall The use of the word APPEAR occurs a lot in these types of discussions . If there is rock solid evidence that the tangent speed actually changes the GPS clock then why use the word APPEAR? If we say that a GPS clock APPEARS to be out of sync with...

    I A question about time dilation

    IBX true there are elliptical orbits as well i agree there are more then one condition which change the GPS clock timing etc. I mentioned the condition of free fall because it means the satellite is in a steady gravitational field which must be balanced by the tangent speed to remain in orbit...

    I A question about time dilation

    OK this is a quote from the physics forum site - it is not mine. So the above quote says that there are two effects which alters the clock ticks, the GR effect and the SR effect for clocks aboard satellites. We all know that satellite are in free fall and for free fall there must be a steady...
