Einstein in his "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies" (1905) starts the derivation of the Doppler shift formula by stating: In the system K, very far from the origin of coordinates let there be a sourcce of electromagnetic waves..." . Taking into account his advise "never stop thinking" we...
My question can be most simply put as how can we guarantee that the only solutions of a homogenous linear differential equation are of the form ce^at?
or for that matter that the particular solution of a function is given by u(x)f(x)
in the variation of parameters method.
how can we...
ok i have a question about which assumptions which are allowable in this scenario.
A sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle theta with the horizontal. After the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal...
This was one of my test questions today. Read it carefully.
A viewer knowledgeable in the science of fiction watching Star Wars can safely assume that:
A) The rebel heroes can see the light of an explosion in outer space.
B) The rebel heroes can hear the sound of an explosion outer...

This is an attempt to define a bulk which corresponds to both a string
cosmological and brane cosmological formalism which disallows other
branes that exist outside this universe.
Our bulk is homogenous manifold similar to a Joyce...
One mathematical sum is harassing me since a few days the problem is;:-
a^2+b^2=25 and a^3+b^3=91. find the value of a and b.
Now here we cannot take that into consoderation that as a^2+b^2=25 , a=3 and b=4. But we have to find the answer without any assumtions.May i please get the...
I'm planning on building a small ski lift for my kids. It's been 20 years since I've taken a physics class so I'm lucky to remember what gravity is. :blushing:
Here's a poor image of the hill. I would like to know the following:
A) how much lbs of tension is against the lift wire?
B)...
I wasn't quite sure what I should call this, so I hope the tile is OK.
Now over the weekend I've on on a general message board where I saw the ideas of mathematics and religion being discussed. The connection with religion is not what I'm interested here, but rather the following sentence...
As much as I know (and please correct me if I am wrong) no fundamental mathematical systems like ZF or Peano axioms include an examination of our cognition's ability to count.
In my opinion, if we ignore our abilities to count, then there is a reasonable chance that our fundamental axioms...
When mass is constant, momentum is a function of velocity and velocity is a function of time. So would it be incorrect to say that the more precise your time measurement (or the smaller timeframe you are looking at) the more uncertainty in the position of the particle a la Heisenberg...
[SOLVED] Maxwell Equations: What are all the assumptions used in derivation?
I am trying to refute some of the theories of Tesla which are based on his idea that electromagnetic energy is also transmitted via a longitudinal wave. As far as I know Maxwell's equations do not support a...
