When we want to show quantum behavior (like tunneling or double slit) of a large object like a buckyball molecule, what do we need to watch out for in an experiment? Is it the following? a, that all constituents of the object (the single atoms of the buckyball) are described by one coherent...

I hope you guys can give me some insight into this situation. So, I was driving home from my parents' house tonight (just past midnight on Monday night) and I'm nearly the only person on the highway. A two state troopers pass me one by one within a 2 minute (2 mile, traveling 60 mph) span...

The equation of linear thermal expansion is l=l_0\left[1 + \alpha(t - t_0)\right] (it is similar also to the equation of resistivity, \rho=\rho_0\left[1 + \alpha(t - t_0)\right]) \alpha is a constant dependent only on the material we are speaking about. Now, let's say I have a bar 100 m long...

I don't know if this is a thermodynamics issue or a quantum mechanics one. It seems like there should be some relationship between the average heat and pressure of a system and the behavior of electrons orbiting nuclei. Does anyone know if there are any observations and experiments that have...

I know how capacitors behave when connected to a dc voltage supply. For a simple RC circuit we have the time constant thing come up into the equations and then we can find the exponential fall of voltage and currents. but what I don't get is the what would be the behavior of the same in a ac...

I've never been formally educated in quantum mechanics but to my knowledge particles' behavior changes when they are being observed or measured. What causes this change and is there any theory as to why, or if it is possible to deliberately change behaviors to a desired outcome?

I understand the basics of raising numbers to powers of whatever, but I've been wondering: When you square a number then square root it, you end up with plus or minus the original number. (i.e. 5 times 5 gets 25, then root gets 5 or -5). But using the rules of raising numbers to powers of...

Hello, I am fairly new here, so thank you in advance for your help. This is not a homework problem, just one of curiosity based on my limited knowledge of asymptotic expansions. I'm curious about how the function ln(x) or ln(1+x) behaves for large values of x. Plotting in Matlab, I see a linear...

So, I'm a math major and when I'm take difficult classes I like to do extra problems in the textbook as a way to study. To help with this, I sometimes get text's solution manual. However, sometimes the problem sets include problems that are also in the textbook, and...I think you know where...
