Linearization Definition and 67 Threads

I'm trying to linearize (first order) the Euler's equation for a small perturbation ##\delta## Starting with ##mna (\frac{\partial}{\partial t} + \frac{\vec{v}}{a} \cdot \nabla ) \vec{u} = - \nabla P - mn \nabla \phi## (1) ##\vec{u} = aH\vec{x(t)} + \vec{v(x,t)}## Where a is the scale factor...

I think I managed to solve the entire problem, as I show below. My main doubt is about item (e), the incremental circuit. Part (a) Using the node method and KCL we reach $$\frac{v_I-v_A}{2}=10(1-e^{-v_A/5})\tag{1}$$ Part (b) We can simplify (1) to $$v_A=5\ln{\left ( \frac{20}{v_A+20-v_I}...

Hello, There is a physical phenomenon in which the variable ##X## is related to the variable ##Y## by a cubic relationship, i.e. $$Y= k X^3$$ The data I collected, ##(X,Y)##, seems to fit this relationship well: I used Excel to best fit the data to a power law function (3rd power) and there is...

Hi, PF, want to know how can I go from a certain error formula for linearization I understand, to another I do not Error formula for linearization I understand: If ##f''(t)## exists for all ##t## in an interval containing ##a## and ##x##, then there exists some point ##s## between ##a## and...

Ok, first week of first year of undergraduate physics lab and they explain that we want all our graphs to be linear, and in order to do that we can change our x and y axes to be log(x) or y^2 or whatever. They did some simple examples such as y=(k/x)+c and explained that if the x axes is 1/x we...
