What are some possible criteria when to choose Mealy or Moore state machine? I know that for Mealy, output is a function of present state and input and in Moore it's just present state. I know it also probably depends on the design specifications, but ... just wondering. Any insights are...

Does anybody know if internet already does one or the following : 1) give the data of your wanted love and it automatically gives you the matching level (from names, salaries, bank account, physical datas, cultural preferences or even DNA)... 2) and composes the appropriate gift idea : poem...

I dislike simply having answers told to me, so I won't give the actual number values of the question. However, I need some insight on how I would solve this: There are two masses on an atwood's machine, but only one of the masses is known (let's say 5 kilograms). I am told that the unknown...

How do we learn? And in the same way can a machine learn?

Thanks for the input!

Tipler5 6.P.060.] A simple Atwood's machine uses two masses, m1 and m2 (Figure 6-38). Starting from rest, the speed of the two masses is 5.0 m/s at the end of 3.0 s. At that instant, the kinetic energy of the system is 90 J and each mass has moved a distance of 7.5 m. Determine the values of m1...

An atwood machine holds two masses at its ends by a massless rope. m1 and m2. Assume the pully is frictionless. What will the magnitude of the tension(T) go to as m1 goes to infinity but m2 stays the same? Im very lost on this problem. I have drawn a free body diagram showing m1g and m2g...

the incredible lifting machine heat loss?? While stumbling upon this website on the Incredible lifting machine, http://tigre.ucr.edu/dipen/phy11/heat.htm I was wondering what could be some of the reasons why the work down calculated as in mgh does not equal to the work done under the pv...

hi there i was just wondering could anyone please explain to me the concept behind a "SWINGING ATWOODS MACHINE"-i mean as to why it works that way!"? I really want to know the concept! thanks fahd!

Can there be such a thing ? at work there is a machine that constantly has breakdowns that defy logical explanation, human intervention has been ruled out as there are cameras in the room, and the only way the breakdowns could be man made is by some with tools and access to the machine

This makes for an interesting mind experiment: http://www.geocities.com/osiris_dionysus1618/ppmmach2.GIF Ultimately the energy comes from the magnetic fields that deminish.

ok a friend and I came up with this hypothetical situation, and we both believe totally different things about it and I am positive I am right, but I suck at explaining stuff so if anyone can tell me if I am wrong or if I am right, can explain it better than I can? ok here are the two...

anyone know of any forums discussing abt above issues?

Which normal kidney functions should not be replaced by a dialysis machine? I've got one answer...but not enough. I don't even know if this is right, but I said blood pressure - patients with heart problems. Can anyone help?

Today I was walking out in the woods. In many places in the woods around here you can find old stone walls going between the trees. Today by one of these stone walls I found a piece of farm machinery. It was heavily rusted and the rubber tires were flaking. It was ten or fifteen feet wide...

The machine shown in the figure below can be used to give you a good feel for forces. Assuming a massless, frictionless pulley and a massless string, calculate the magnitude of the acceleration on both bodies and the tension in the string T...

Hi everyone, Does anyone of you believe that time machines or timetravel is possible because if it were possible we would already be familiar to one. Because someone would have traveled back in our time whom we could have seen. This has only one explanation that the man who...

Three related brain teasers:(I did not see them posted before) There is a mint, let's say the Denver mint. In the mint there are 100 penny making machines. In the problems below there is something wrong with one of the machines. You may produce as many coins as you would like from any of...

In the Atwood machine regular 2 mass machine,m1= 2.20kg and m2=7.30kg . The masses of the pulley and string are negligible by comparison. The pulley turns without friction and the string does not stretch. The lighter object is released with a sharp push that sets it into motion at an initial...

Need a check on this one please. In an Atwood Machine simulation, m1 is 1.0kg and m2 is 1.1kg. m2 rests on the floor that exerts a normal force, Fn, on m2. when the system is in equalibrium, the tension, T, in the rope at 2.54s is 9.789. If Fn +T- m2*g = 0 then Fn = .991. Is this correct?

Sure anti-gravity technology is possible in your garage. Bet for $1,000? and will send you the design. Anyone else interested. Russ? $1,000? Edit by Ivan: Split from https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=50321&page=3&pp=15

any evidence in time travel guys? id like to hear your theorys, weather scientic ones on wether it exist or how it doesn't exist, and can never exist. I personally believe you can never go backwards or forwards into time and live in it. I think if we went faster than light, the light would bend...

I'm just curious, why is it that anye perpetual motion machine that is thought up is discarded immedietly. I know that energy can't be created nor can be destroyed but then again, a few centuries we were absolutely positively sure that the Earth was flat! I mean anything can be wrong, why...

It seems logical to me that consciousnes existing at the molecular level (cells) strongly implies that consciousness exist at all levels of matter, including atomic and subatomic levels
