I am looking to improve the thermal insulation on one of my favorite glass mugs. I am choosing between a silicone glove or a neoprene wrap. What is the difference between a silicone baking mat and silicone rubber? Does silicone or neoprene have better thermal insulation?

Do you think that a ferrous plate at the bottom would suffice though? Or would a completely ferrous pan be significantly better?

I ask, "Does a ferrous pan for Induction Cooking need to be Completely Ferrous?" In other words, could just the bottom of the pan be a ferrous material for good inductive heat induction? Could I have a ferrous bottom, and ferrous sides that turn to a non-ferrous material after a couple...

Could I use, (3,-1,0)x(0,0,-1)?

Alright, so the corss product of two vectors will give me a vector that is perpendicular to the plane (which is in the direction that I want). I'm not sure what these vectors would be? How do I know what vectors to cross?

Would I compare triangles in the xy-plane?

Homework Statement I have a coordinate system, (x,y,z). There is a uniform-magnetic-field of 2.0 T that exists along the direction of the y-axis. There is a rectangular plane bounded by the points (3,0,0),(0,1,0),(0,1,1),(3,0,1). Calculate how much flux is traveling through the rectangular...

Yes, I am assuming that the AFM cantilever is being modeled as a second order system. With the cantilever tune, the phase curve is set to 90° of the resonant frequency. So would I be close enough in estimating that the natural frequency is 72.7 kHz?

I was able to calculate the value for the damping ratio; but I am having trouble finding the value of the natural frequency. Any ideas on how to solve for the natural frequency?

Could you elaborate? Where does this -3dB bandwidth come from? Is Q inversely related to the damping ratio, ζ? Thanks for your help.

Homework Statement I've been asked to estimate ωn and ζ from the magnitude and phase plot of an atomic force microscope. The magnitude and phase plot is attached. Does anyone know how to solve for these values?

That's not the equation? Then what equation would I use to represent the rod with moment of inertia?

Moment of Inertia= mr^2. Sorry.

Homework Statement Say I have a vertical spring, with a mass attached to the bottom of the spring, and the spring is attached to the ceiling. Say I push up on the mass compressing the spring, and then I release the spring from rest. Do I need to take into account the gravitational...

Hi, I was wondering this question: Why does U=mgh and U=Gm1m/R come out to similar values even when their equations are completely different? Thanks

You could square both sides, and then we can work it out from there?

Are there any sin and cosine laws that would help, like the square of sin added to the square of cosine equalling one?

hmm. what did you come out with?

Ok i'll, as well.

I don't see what you're getting at. I know there are these two equations, I need to solve a variable deltat to get one variable left. After I try to do that step, I get a ridiculous equation that I need to solve for theta. Is there any other process of doing this problem?

I attempted to solve for deltat, but when I plugged delta t from the 2nd equation into the first equation i get a long equation with costheta- costhetasintheta. I'm confused

the higher angle would be when the ball strikes the top of the post.

Because the problem does not supply deltat, where should that number come from? 54m/27m/s= 2s?

my answers don't seem to be working. I get for the largest angle possible: 54= 27^2sin(theta)^2/ (9.8) = .8520=sintheta= 58 degrees. would that be correct for the larger angle?

u stands for velocity, correct? and how do I differentiate between the largeer and smaller angles?

hmm. I'm still confused. Would I do 54= 27sin(theta)*deltat + .5(-9.8)deltat and then solve for theta?

Homework Statement A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 27 m/s. He is 54 m from the goalpost which has a crossbar 3.37 m high. (a) What is the largest angle of elevation that he can kick the football and score a field goal? (b) What is the smaller angle of elevation that...

Yes, sir. I got the correct answer. Thanks for your guidance!

So, the velocity would be <0,0,-5> since it is in the -z direction?

Ok, xf = xi + vi*t + 0.5*a*t^2 xf = <0,0,0>m + <0,0,5>*20 + 0.5*(<0,0,-30>N/200kg)*(20s^2)

So I'll use: deltax = vi*t + 0.5*a*t^2. I plug in the proper values, and I don't get the correct answer. I am unsure of where I am going wrong. The initial position is, <0,0,0>, so I don't need to worry about that.

Homework Statement Your location is at the origin. When an object passes you, it is traveling 5 m/s in the −z direction. If the object's mass is 200 kg, and the net force on the object remains constant at ‹ 0, 0, −30 › N, what is the position of the object 20 seconds after it passes you...

Ok, So the x-component is 1e7cos(45), where the y-component is 1e7sin(45), so the hypotenuse is the vector that makes up both of these components, which allows the object to move in the direction that is 45 degrees from the horizontal. Is that a decent understanding? Thanks for your help.

Where do you get the formula: vx = speed * sin (45)? Thanks.

Ok, I get it, and I got it working. Thanks for your help.

any ideas? Basically, I'm stuck on the problem: For what values of t (if any) exist when the vector <1,2t,3t^2> is parallel to <0,2,6t>. I know <0,2,6t>= k <1,2t,3t^2>. What do I do next?

COmputationally I feel like i am not getting anywhere. A=kv So , <0,2,6t> = k<1,2t,3t2> I get 0=k ; 2=2kt ; 6t=3t2k. Where should I go from here? Should I solve for k, because I tried that and I am going in circles...
