Calculation Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi all! I would like your assistance with wrapping up my thoughts regarding the following problem. Say I have Am-241 nuclide, which emits alpha particle in every decay (for the sake of this discussion, let's assume that 100% of the decays lead to a daughter nuclide, Np-237 + an alpha...

Hello, i´ve got a problem with the calculation of the forces on the hitch of a vehicle and a trailer. I do need the lateral force on the hitch for the calculation of my single track model of the vehicle and trailer. I have a longitudinal model of the vehicle and the trailer. My input signal...

Hi, I'm going through Nielsen and Chuang's Quantum Computation and Quantum Information textbook and I don't really understand this part about quantum parallelism: Shouldn't the resulting state be (1/sqrt(2^4)) * (|0, f(0)> + |0, f(1)> + |1, f(1)> + |1, f(0)>), since the resulting state would...

My interest is on question ##11.ii## only. I think there is a mistake on the markscheme...i just need a second opinion on this...find attached the question and markscheme... markscheme here: it ought to be, ##e^{0.0277t}=1.6797##

This would appear to be a straightforward algebra problem, but it just doesn't pass the smell test for me. The issue might be with the number of electrons per cubic meter, as that was calculated in a previous problem, so let me know if that number seems wrong. My plasma frequency (##\nu##) not...

I get one of the ranges by calculating: sin(90°) = 1 d·sin(θ) = d × 1 = d = n·λ d = 6 × 550-nm = 3,300 nm = 3.3 microns = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m But, how can I get the other range of 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m Could anyone explain it to me? Thanks

I know how to derive field using ##E = -\nabla V## in polar coordinates and doing so gave me $$E = (kP/r^3)(1 + 3cos^3\theta)^{1/2}$$ now I am trying to derive ##E## at point P using the fields produced by +ve and -ve charge respectively and taking components of each along the radial direction...

Hi, I was working on this problem that I think should be quite simple, but I cannot seem to get the correct answer. Question: A pulsed laser operates at 850 nm wavelength. Under pulsed conditions there are several lasing modes present separated in frequency by ## \Delta f = c/2nl ## where...

This is the analytical working out. I substituted the value of 306mm ( the maximum length of the beam) to find the maximum deflection along the Z-axis. Which came out to be -2.39mm. But according to Ansys the average deflection is 0.3mm and the maximum deflection is 0.8mm. This is the Ansys Values.

My calculation: (A) 0.19 = (0.14 - 0.13) - 0.06/2*log(1/(0.1*[Pb2+]) => [Pb2+] = 4.6*10^6 I wonder where I did wrong. Thanks!

I have a construction made from 4040 aluminum extrusion. The top frame is opening at 90deg with external hinge. the weight of the top is 6Kg The dimensions are 50X75cm externally and 42X67 internally (as the frame width is 4cm) If pictures with dimensions would help please let me know.

Should it be I3 = \frac{(R2+R4)}{(R2+R4) +R3} I or I3 = \frac{R2}{R2 +R3} I

Hello. I am doing tensor calculation with indices, such as contraction, lowering or raising indices, tensor production, etc. I have tried the Ricci.m from https://sites.math.washington.edu/~lee/Ricci/ However, maybe because the package has not been upgraded for some time, I could not get the...

First let's define as on page 13 of the book the perturbative coefficients of the hard scattering cross section ##H_{ab}## by: $$(22) \ \ \ \ H_{ab}=H_{ab}^{0}+\frac{\alpha_s}{\pi}H_{ab}^{(1)}+\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$$ Now, on page 16 it's written that the RG equation for ##H_{ab}## is: $$(31)...

a. When the transistors are ON. ##V_{CC} = V_L## ##V_{CC} = L \frac{di_L} {dt} ## ##i_L = \frac{V_{CC}t} L ## b. I am bit confused when the transistor is "OFF" The point "A" is floating? The transistors and the diodes all the elements seem to be open is it correct? I am confused here.

This problem was included as an exercise for a section on the small signal equivalent circuit for a MOSFET under the body effect. The problem states ##λ =0## so I believe the Early effect is negligible and ro = 0. I don't see how the body effect would be negated so for part (b). I believe the...

Hello Forum: I have numbers 1 through 6 from which i must select 4 items. The twist is that i need to count only those subsets that include the number 2 all of the subsets are 'distinct' --> 2145 is the same as 2415. My quick calculation yields 15 distinct subsets however some of those do...

Since both cylinders have the same material, this implies the density is the same. Length is also the same based on the question. We only need to compare the radii for resistance. R2 = pi ((2b)^2 - (2a)^2) R1 = pi (b^2 - a^2) R2/R1 = 4, so my answer is C. But, the given answer is A. Where did I...

Here is my solution I just need it to be confirmed Many thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, Once I got through the VDW state equation I came to the expression of the thermal expansion coefficient. When I place the values I get an illogical answer. Is there a problem with the units? (Please ignore the values) Thanks. This is the unit equation I get to and get stuck:

v1- velocity of water at the top of the barrel v2- velocity of water at the the pipe (bottom of cylinder) p + (⍴ *(v1)^2)/2 + ⍴gh=p + (⍴ *(v2)^2)/2 + ⍴gh atmosferic pressure cancels out (⍴ *(v1)^2)/2 + ⍴gh = (⍴ *(v2)^2)/2 + ⍴gh density doesn't affect the result(cause its in every term)...
