I'm dabbling in video game creation and I'm making a very basic top-down twin stick shooter. The problem is that I don't know how to get the player to turn to an angle that matches the controller's right stick. I'm trying to figure out an equation or something to convert the -100 to +100 input...

Is it just me or Desmos ruined its formula input? In the past when I typed x, /, 1, +, x I got $\frac{x}{1+x}$. Now I'm getting $\frac{x}{1}+x$. In fact, I can't figure out how to type $\frac{x}{1+x}$ at all. Even if I have $\frac{1}{1x}$ and the cursor is between 1 and $x$ in the denominator...

how would yo connect a 2 input nand gate to form a basic inverter? i constructed a truth table. i know that the two middle ones don't count because the inputs have to be of the same value for an inverter. but what conclusion can i draw from this?

The type of op amp I am using is Voltage-to-Current Amp. Under DC voltage input, it works perfectly well, boosting the current of a signal generator (DC mode) up to 250mA with the help of single supply working at 25V. However, when I turn the signal generator in AC mode, hoping to achieve...

I have a model set up, that is a cuboid, with a membrane half-way along - a bit like an impedance tube setup. I've used Integration 1 & 2 with Explicit 1 & 2 to define an 'inlet' and 'outlet' at opposing faces of the tube. The Variables for the inlet and outlet are intop1(p0) and intop2(p)...

Hi, My question is in relation to Matlab. I'm curious, is there anyway to employ user inputs for function handles? By this I mean that the user is prompted to enter they're chosen function and the next line of code employs that into a handle. My quick and rough attempt was...

Hello Physics Forum, Thanks to the Physics Forum, I learned an equation that helps me understand the relation between torque and power generated for a wind turbine. The equation is P = m * ω and can be rewritten as m = P/n * 30/∏ where m = applied torque, P = power generated, n...

A little background first; I contacted a person at a national lab to see if he could hire me for a year between undergrad and grad school. He advised me to apply to SULI and that way we could work together for the next few months. So I did and luckily got accepted, but it seems that before he...

Hi, could someone confirm whether I am right in thinking that for a PWM inverter, the input sine voltage is converted to DC using a bridge rectifier? Does this DC voltage then have a value which is the same as the PEAK value of the sine input? Is the DC voltage then 'chopped' using IGBT's to...

Hello fellow PF members I was wondering how one would go about finding the lagrangian of a problem like the following: A particle is constrained to move along the a path defined by y = sin(x). Would you simply do this: x = x y = sin(x) x'^2 = x'^2 y'^2 = x'^2 (cos(x))^2...

Hi, Just to clarify, If a real transformer is being supplied with let's say 100V rms from a generator, and a load is connected to the secondary via a line containing both reactance and resistance, the input voltage at the transformer primary terminals should always be 100V, no matter what is...
