Homework Statement Beta = b/sqrt(mk) Explain how Beta can be interpreted as a ratio of time scales. What do the time scales measure? b: damping coefficient of spring (dimension: M/T) m: mass attach to spring (dimension: M) k: spring constant (dimension: M/T^2) The Attempt at a...

I know the integral to compute work done is (integral from a to b) F * dl where F and l are vectors, but I don't understand how I would use that in a problem. 1. Are a and b moments in time? 2. What is dl? Is that the same thing as l2-l1? So would it be (integral from a to b)...

Could someone explain the fourth dimension to me? I understand that it represents time. Could anyone thoroughly explain the concept? Thank you.

I have read a section but I don’t know their explanation , so please explain for me Thank you

Omega here is frequency. I used lambda = c/f. Why is it (2*pi*c)/omega and not c/f or c/omega? http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n149/camarolt4z28/2010-10-04203213.jpg?t=1286245112 http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n149/camarolt4z28/2010-10-04203118.jpg?t=1286245065

Gravity has to be the most screwed up force in the universe and the most enigmatic. It pulls on a boulder and a feather to produce the same acceleration. How screwed up is that? It is even more improbable as a moon always showing the same face to the planet it orbits. There is an infinate (or...

I read Stephen Hawking new book and did a little research on M-theory. Apparently in the 11th dimension there are different brains that crash into each other. 2 of these brains crashing supposedly rendered our big bang, and explains why stuff came out in blobs (not homogeneous). But how...

The Bernoullis Equation for an Incompressible Inviscid flow (say water) is as follows: p + (1/2).ρV^2 + ρgh = constant where, In words, static pressure + dynamic pressure + pressure energy due to height = constant It gives the Energy...

I did more than one course of classical electromagnetism in college. Recently, however, after reading "How Relativity Connects Electric and Magnetic Fields" (http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/252/rel_el_mag.html) I was astounded to realize how little I knew about it! In college (if I...

Hi.. Can someone explain when will upthrust change? cos i come across books saying that upthrust will not change when two objects of different density but same material are placed in the same fluid. I also come across that upthrust will not change when same objects are being transferred from...

I know that pulsars are Neutron stars that emit their energy through their poles, bit why do they emit it through their poles, and not their sides? And Quasars, I though that all mater that falls into a black hole never escapes, so how do we see the...''stuff'' leaving it?

Hi, I'm reading the SU(N) chapter in Jones' Group theory book. In SU(3) we have these 3 component spinors which transform as \psi^{'}_{a}=U_{a}^{..b}\psi_{b} and we have upper spinors defined by \psi^{a}=\epsilon^{abc}\phi_{[bc]} Now if consider building up higher-dimensional reps, by taking...

I think I understand the basics of the Big Bang but after trying to explain it to someone else, I've discovered that there are many details lacking in my knowledge. So I have come here in the hopes of alleviating my ignorance... I understand that in the very early universe, all the energy in...

Requirements for LR model -- please explain. In a recent, and ongoing, thread it was asked what are the requirements that an LR model of entanglement must meet. The following response was given by DrChinese. I still don't understand what he's talking about, so if DrC, or anyone else, would...

I observed something interesting yesterday. At first, I couldn't explain it, but I figured it out after a few minutes, and I figured it might be interesting enough a problem to pose here. Yesterday, on my way to work (at about 7 in the morning) I picked up a pint of milk from UDF and drank it...

Allright, looking at at a bunch of string theories and using math to explain, it really looks like nonsense. Calculus is easy math to learn because it means something, eg. explaining and altering functions to make sense fundamentally. What I don't understand, is how people use math to model...

I understand Fourier Series fairly well and how to use them to approximate functions (I even wrote a C program to do it) but Transforms are really confusing. If I was to take the value of each Fourier coefficient and plot it on the y-axis against the angular frequency on x-axis (obv. there...

I've always wanted to understand the Theory of General Relativity but I've never found anyone to properly explain it to me. I was hoping that someone here could explain the principles to me in fine detail. I find the sheet of rubber with masses bending it to be an irritatingly unsatisfying...

Hello Guys, It would be really great if anyone can explain me what does mode of vibration exactly mean?? What does 1st,2nd ,3rd and 4th mode of vibration at 3Hz, 15Hz ,20 Hz and 40 Hz mean to the system.? Please check my knowledge on order of vibration too.. Order of vibration:-If a...

I have been researching generators lately, whilst contemplating building my own wind powered generator.

i know that einstein explained it in terms of particles but can maxwells EM waves explain the photoelectric effect aswell?

Ok so I'm tutoring for a class this term which is supposed to be an intro to mathematical proofs. One kid asked me how to understand sentences like "Let x and y be real numbers then x = y or x =/= y.". I'm over simplifying, between - it's the use of anonymous variables that seems to bug them. I...

Picture the Earth without any atmosphere or air molecules. If I were to throw a rock with 0.5 kg straight up from the surface of the Earth it will reach a velocity of zero at its peak? At this moment the momentum of the rock becomes zero. Where does the momentum go if its always conserved?

Hey, I just wanted to know if someone could explain to me why the following is true: (x+y)^2 =/= x^2 + y^2 So, in words, why doesn't the some of two numbers added together and then squared equal the sum of the numbers squared individually and then added together? I obviously know...

My heartbeat is usually between 40-50. Anything in the 60's is high. When I exercise it can get to 90, but I have asthma, so i can't really exercise easily above that. I'm not athletic. (Why the hell would I be on this kind of forum if I was?) I'm not the most fit. (Slender, but I can't run...
