Hi PF,
It might sounds stupid but if I don't ask I'll not know until I reach another turning point in my life.
I'm currently studying in Argentina and I'd like to know if there is a website or something like that that can tell what is my GPA in function of my average. Here we're evaluated...
In the world we live in, we can convert and use energy in the form of radiation and turn it into a significant power source. Gravitatoinal energy, which exists throughout the whole universe could be used someday as a power source. Think of it. A power source abundant throughtout the universe...

I had an exam conversion problem:
A position vector (between the origin and point (5,2,3) is expressed as r = 5x+2y+3z. Express this vector in cylindrical coordinates.
row = SQRT(5^2 + 2^2) = 5.385

I am seeking help with the theory of energy conversion from kinetic energy to electric energy. Is it possible to convert kinetic energy to electric energy at an efficiency higher than 75% If so, how?
Specifically, I mean not using heat (cogeneration power plants) or potential energy...
Hello. I have a small problem. I have a CFD run going on our universities cluster. For those runs, I use a fully structured code that uses plot3d formatted files. Rather than have to go in there and look at them, I would like to look at them here at work, where we use CFX.
In short, is there...
Does anyone knows what this unit "a.u" means? I found it on many graphs, where "a.u" represents the unit of |E|^2 (E represents electromagnetic field). How do I convert "a.u" to SI unit?

Convert to standard form ODE system y0 = f(t, y):
t^2y'' + sin(y') + 2y − 1 = 0
the goal is to reduce the equation above to be a first order ode.

I tried to introduced a new variable but the sin(y') seems tricky.
I am reading something about thermodynamics and everything are not given in SI units. In the material, they use Fahrenheit for temperature, BTU for heat, lb for mass and in^2 for area. Now I need to calculate something with the data given in those units, well, I need to apply equation for ideal...

Hi everyone,
What I am wondering is if there is a way to convert 5 volts to 12 volts. The application I will be using this for is a USB driven motor. The USB cable can only handle 5 volts and the motor is 12 volts. So I am wondering if there is a device or something simple to build that can...
