Does anyone know the name of the big box that you can connect to a circuit, to stop the ammeter and voltmeter readings jumping around?

Please excuse my total ignorance but can someon explain to me how the following part of a certain proof makes sense We want to show that[SIZE="4"] F[SIZE="1"]k+1 ≤ (7/4)^(k+1). Consider [SIZE="4"]f[SIZE="1"]k+1 = [SIZE="4"]f[SIZE="1"]k + [SIZE="4"]f[SIZE="1"]k−1 (We can do this as k +1 is at...

The problem is stated as follows: A sailboat is traveling east at 4.10 m/s. A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration a=(0.500 m/s2,40.0° north of east). What is the boat's speed 5.90 s later when the gust subsides? I've tried breaking it into component vectors, but no luck...

I was thinking about a question where when 2 similar objects with different masses were dropped from the same height that they would hit tthe ground at the same time. It then occurred to me if the same would happen if the objects were given a horizontal component. i.e if they were rolled off an...

Can a vector have a component whose magnitude is greater than itself?

The question is the title of the thread. I am curious about the matter, because i read that a lot of personality traits have an genetic component.

I am wondering if anyone has a good source for electonic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, switches, etc.). I was an electronic's technician in the military and we order all of our equipment through the federal supply system. Anyway's now I'm just an engineering...

I'm just thinking that since light is an electromagnetic wave, it must move sinusoidally. So, wouldn't it just be going forward at the speed of "c", while the wave itself would be going up and down as well? And if that's the case, wouldn't the actual speed of the photons be much faster if the...

hi For car to be able to drive trough banked curve on the road with no friction, the vertical component of a normal force must be equal in size but opposite in direction to the force of gravity. Horizontal component F[h] F[h] = m * g * tan(alpha) = m * v^2 / r So there is only one...

I am having some trouble figuring out where to start with this problem: The force on a particle of mass m is given by: F= 26i – 12t^2j where F is in N and t in seconds. What will be the change in the particle’s momentum between t=1s and t=2s? Can anyone point me in the right...

I just gave a try to a statistical excel add-in and found PCA and FA quite interresting. However, I don't see where are the differences between these two analysis, except for the layout of the results. Additionaly, I see the link with multiple regression, but I don't see the link precisely...

A block weighing 95.0 lbs is on a 34.5 degree plane. Find the force parallel to the plane, the acceleration if there is no friction, the coefficient of friction if the object is just at the point of sliding, and the acceleration if coefficient of sliding friction is .350. Do you find the x...

During baseball practice, a batter hits a very high fly ball, and then runs in a straight line and catches it. Which had the greater displacement, the player or the ball or neither? Explain. I think it's neither but I'm not sure and i don't understand why. could someone please explain...

The following question appeared on one of my exam papers. A CCD of pixel density 10Mpixel (1cm^-2) is used to image a component of length 10cm. Show how this does or does not meet the required accuracies of +/- 0.025mm. A similar question was asked in a previous exam where the...

I thought I calculated the vector components correctly and added them, but apparently something is wrong. A car travels 2.2 km in the x-direction, then turns left 67.5 degrees to the original direction and travels an additional distance of 3.09km. Calculate the x component of the car's...

The component of a force in a perpendicular direction is given by F Cos 90 and is 0. But when one rides a bycycle and stops paddling before and after taking a 90degree turn, the bycycle continues to move forward. What might be the explanation?

a mass of 22 kg is dropped vertically from 180mm on a component. I know the final velocity while the hit takes place is 3.53m/sqsec. What is the force that will be created on the component and to what duration the force lasts.

Guys, I am stuck on this problem. I have the answer from the back of the book, but I don't know how to solve it. I tried to solve it by isolating Ux, Vy, and trying to solve it by simultaneous equations, but I always end up getting something like Vy = Vy , or something like Vy - Vy = 0. It keeps...

You are given vectors a = 4.50i-7.00j and b = -3.50i+7.40j. A third vector c lies in the xy-plane. Vector c is perpendicular to vector a and the scalar product of c with b is 10.0. now i figured that since vector a is in quad 4, then to be perpendicular, vector c would have to be in quad 1...
