I'm a bit of a layman when it comes to this sort of thing, but from the literature I've read, it looks like most gradiometers utilise two magnetometers. Much of my understanding stems from this paper: http://library.seg.org/doi/abs/10.1190/1.2164759 but from the fairly limited articles on...

Whenever I've encountered measuring magnetic fields with magnetometers, they've typically been very large magnetic fields (up to a few T). Magnetic fields fall off rapidly with distance and so I generally figured that measuring weak fields at distances on the order of cm (let alone m) was very...

I'm trying to get my head around what this means exactly. I've plotted the graph to help verse me with the functions that I've derived. From the free electron model, the wavefunctions are treated as planewaves of the form \psi_\mathbf{k}(\mathbf{r}) = e^{i\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{r}} Due to...

Yeah, okay, so I could use a photon or a Z for that interaction. So would it be accurate to say both diagrams would contribute to the probability amplitude?

Hey there, this isn't a homework / coursework question so I didn't think it should be posted in that section. I can't seem to find a source which explicitly tells you how to determine which bosons are used in reactions. I understand how to work out if a reaction is legal or not by using charge...

Would it be okay to bump this question? I have a similar question and I can't find these plots anywhere.

Hello everyone. I'm a third year Physics and Computer science student (predicted a 1st class - studying in the UK) and I'd like some advice on what to do in the future. I apologise in advance if this OP turns into a wall of text but I have tried to do some research prior to this post. I feel...

Ah crud, I completely forgot that's how you write Expectation value. so, just to confirm I have a grip on this, \langle x \rangle = \langle \psi \vert {x} \vert \psi \rangle = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \psi^* x \psi dx Is that right? Assuming the limits are from infinity to minus infinity...

I'm a complete noob with Braket and I've only just started getting to grips with it. For completeness' sake though (from the book I'm currently reading), I can't seem to find a definition for: \langle J_z \rangle Would this just be the "magnitude" of J_z? Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I'll give these a read over christmas and see how things go. I'll still check this thread to see if somebody else can contribute.

Hello there, I'm a second year physics student who like most, has exams around the start of the next year and as such, have started revising for my exams. The term has introduced new physics I wasn't initially familiar with such as Quantum mechanics and advanced differential calculus. Another...

Yeah, I'll pay him a visit with the rules (which I've just printed) on Monday. Thanks for the words. I'd like to see this thread stay open just so I can see what other people have to say on this topic. Thanks.

Guess I'll have to ask him next time I see him. I suppose the rules being obeyed make sense though.

I usually find myself asking a question here if I get stuck on a question. Is this plagiarism?

Ok, so \bigg[{-e^{-\frac {mv^2}{kT}}\bigg]_0^t will give me \lim_{t \to \infty}({-e^{-\frac {mt^2}{kT}} + 1) yeah? Sorry if this is annoying, I've never actually done something like this which seems a bit strange considering a question requires it. I appreciate the help.

I thought so. This might seem stupid, but I really don't know how to evaluate the integral when one of the limits is \infty. Could you shed some light on that please?

ok, so you're saying N = \frac {Ckt}{2m} \bigg[{-e^{-\frac {mv^2}{kt}}\bigg]_0^\infty which yeah, makes sense. But do you want me to rearrange it to make C the subject while not evaluating the integral?

Hello everyone Homework Statement The equivalent of the Maxwell-Boltzman distribution for a two-dimensional gas is P(v) = Cv e^-\frac {mv^2}{kt} Determine C so that \int_0^\infty P(v)dv = N Homework Equations Not really sure The Attempt at a Solution I wasn't really sure how to tackle...

Thanks for the reply CompuChip, sorry for this late reply. I took onboard what you said, perhaps you could verify my answer. I have v = \omega r I = \int dV \rho r^{2} dm = \rho dV I = \int \dfrac {dm}{\rho} \rho r^{2} I = \int dm r^{2} I = r^{2} \int dm I = r^{2}m m = \dfrac...

Hello, I think I've got the right idea on how to perform this question but I just need a little bit of help. Homework Statement Show that for a rigid body rotating with angular velocity \omega the energy of rotation may be written as: E = \dfrac {1}{2}I\omega^{2} where the moment of...

Ok, I think I understand, so if I take the first question and use the criteria f(cx) = cf(x). a) \begin{pmatrix} a & b\\ c & d\\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ y\\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} x - y \\ x\\ \end{pmatrix} I get \begin{pmatrix} ax + by\\ cx + dy\\ \end{pmatrix}...

an unfortunate bump :(

I've already attempted to work everything out by the way but my answers seem a little off. Homework Statement A satellite performs a sling shot manoeuvre around a planet. The mass of the planet is 6.00 * 10^{24} kg and the mass of the satellite is 7.00 * 10^{2} kg. The satellite approaches...

Hello, firstly, what does the regular expression "\\+" do? Would that literally match up "\+". Could I possibly get some recommendations on some software to try regular expressions with as well actually please? and secondly, I've been fiddling around with the cacls command and I've noticed...

So basically, if I can find out what K is from the Adiabatic condition, then I should be able to calculate the values of P and V for the other points? Except I don't have a point which has both P and V values.

Thankyou both very much for the help Yeah, I completely understand where my problem is, I'll definitely do this. Thanks again.

ah, I see the error of my ways, ok: OP(t) = OA + (t)(BA) = (1-t)OA + (t)OB (1-t)OA = (5 -5t, 0, 1-t) (t)OB = (7t, 4t, 7t) OP(t) = (5 -5t, 0, 1-t) + (7t, 4t, 7t) OP(t) = (5 + 2t, 4t, 1 + 6t) So that's the answer? I think I'll have to do more research on this regardless?

Ok, well, I'm really not sure what I'm doing but I did this: OP(t) = OA + (t)(BA) = (1-t)OA + (t)OB (1-t)(5,0,1) + (t)(7,4,7) (-6t + 6) + (7t + 4t + 7t) 12t + 6 OP(t) = 12t + 6 Surely there's more to it then that?

Thanks a lot Yeah, just got back, I'll take a stab at this now and post my result :)

I was hoping I could be linked to some resources to find the answer actually. Equation of a plane takes the form of Ax + By + Cz + D = 0 Point = (1, 0, 1) Normal point = (i + j - k) = (1, 1, -1) Point Normal Form = (1, 1, -1) x ((x, y, z) - (1, 0, 1) = 1(x -1) + 1(y-0) -1(z-1) = x...

Hello guys, I've got two questions here which I'm really unsure about on how to actually tackle. As a result, maybe it would be better if I could possibly be linked to some resources where I could read up on how to actually solve them. Homework Statement 1. Find the equation of the plane in 3...

ah cool, ok, thanks for the help everyone.

god damn it. Ok. Weight at sea level = 980N weight at summit = mg g = 6.67*10^-11 * 6.0 * 10^24 / 6410,000² g = 9.74 100 * 9.74 = 974 980 - 974 = 6N so the difference in weight is 6N? Is that correct? Can't believe my entire mistake was using the wrong mass.

g = GM/r² gr²/M = G 9.8 * 6400,000² / 100 = G G = 4.01408*10^12 gr² / G = M 9.8 * (6400,000 + 10,000)² / 4.01408*10^12 = M M = 100.313 Weight = Mg 983.06 - 980 = 3.06N So the difference in weight is 3.06N? The only problem is that she gained weight at the summit, she didn't lose it. So...

Ok, so at sea level, the lady weighs 100*9.8 = 980N so I need to find the value for g at the summit of the mountain. I'm still confused with this constant business though, on wikipedia, it says the units of G are N(m/kg)². So do i need to square the mass? g = GM/r² g = 6.67*10^-11 * 100² /...

thanks for the reply. But actually, I think you've lost me even more :)

Think about it, what is a perfectly flat surface of water with no waves a metaphoric equivalent to?

argh! you're kidding me? I've been stuck on this question for almost 30 minutes and it's that simple!? I thought it deflects off the side at a right angle :P I get the right answer now, thankyou!

aha, thanks for the help. Just got a bit confused with the powers for a moment it seems.

Yeah, i tried using foil. Foil if I'm not mistaken would grant me. (e^x + e^-x) (e^x + e^-x) (e^x * e^x) + (e^x * e^-x) + (e^-x * e^x) + (e^-x * e^-x) (e^2x) + (1) + (1) + (e^-2x) (e^2x) + (2) + (e^-2x) Is that right?

Sorry, the +2. I can reach the e^2x + e^-2x but I can't reach the "+2" which means the method I'm using is incorrect. I haven't touched this stuff in a while so I'm just trying to re-remember it.

Sorry, I'm having a severe mental block here, sorry if this is laughable. Question Expand (e^x + e^-x)^2 I've got the answer but I'm just stumped at how to reach it, I don't know where the 2 comes from: Answer e^2x + 2 + e^-2x Thanks (and sorry again)
