Homework Statement I'm trying to show that not all (half) of the energy supplied by the power supply ends up in the capacitor when the capacitor is charged through a resistor. I've looked at some of the other threads on these sorts of topics and I'd thought I'd have a go at working through it...

I understand that i should post all relevant work that I've done, but i don't even know where to start, in the serway 8th edition chapter 3 this problem is listed, i read all of chapter 3 yet still can't even attempt this problem. It's for my online homework which is due monday morning and was...

Hey :D, I'm doing an experiment to determine the energy lost of a ball after each bounce. I am doing this experiment to 3 types, tennis ball, squash ball and ping pong ball. I have already determined what I need to do to work out the energy lost of a ball as a percentage after each bounce...

I've always wondered about how thing like the pyramids, the sphynx, stonehenge, etc... become mysteries although the area has supposedly been continually occupied since their creation. I mean in every generation aren't these things odd enough that someone would ask "what is that and where did...

Now a little thing I should say first, I have no problem with fitting in a group and having friends/girlfriends etc. Also perhaps I should mention I am bipolar so some things may be a bit out there from normal thought. That being said, I sometimes do feel out of the social world. I can be in...

When I first started high school, I was pretty dead set on being an engineer. Now, it's college apps time, and I'm more clueless than when I started. Why? Over the years I've become more and more tired of math. Geometry was fun - but starting from Algebra I've felt like a human calculator, to...

I think that pretty much describes this topic. I'm in Calc ATM and realized that I've forgotten many ideas from previous math classes. I don't have most of my notes as it was mostly problem solutions anyway, furthermore, that's not really what I want. I want to start from Algebra I...
