Homework Statement If you blow air over the top of a fairly large drinking straw you can hear a fundamental frequency due to a standing wave being set up in the straw. Match the following actions with their consequent results: 1. While blowing, you cover the bottom of the straw with your...

Homework Statement Two sinusoidal waves in a string are defined by the functions y1 " (2.00 cm) sin(20.0x # 32.0t) and y2 " (2.00 cm) sin(25.0x # 40.0t) where y1, y2, and x are in centimeters and t is in seconds. (a) What is the phase difference between these two waves at the point x " 5.00 cm...

CMB fluctuations and large scale fluctuations nowadays do not match ? The CMB dark matter density fluctuations for big scales is d_rho/rho~ 10^-5 and lower. The scale factor increased ~ 1000 times from last scattering to now. Linear perturbation theory predicts that the density fluctuations...

Has anyone noticed that the font size for Flash and the font size for GD images in PHP don't give the same text size?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, as my answer does not match up with the books. Sorry about the scan, it looks kinda bad. ! I made a mistake writing the books answer down. It should be: \bar G_v(j \omega ) = \frac{j \omega C (R_1+R_2)+1}{j \omega R_1 +1} Any help would be...

USA is hoping for a tie!

I was wondering why "for maximum transfer of energy from an emf device to a resistive load, the resistance of the emf device must equal the resistance of the load"? So far, I don't have any idea. Could someone explain this to me? Thanks in advance.

"Let F(x,y)=( -y/(x^2+y^2),x/(x^2+y^2)) (a)Show that \frac{\partial F_1}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial F_2}{\partial x} except at the origin." Is it me or are they not actually equal?

Can't seem to match final answer! If 20.00 ml of a 0.958 mol dm-3 solution of H2SO4 is titrated with a 0.735 mol dm-3 solution of KOH, what volume is required to reach the equivalence point? (a) 7.0 ml (b) 10.9 ml (c) 13.0 ml (d) 17.5 ml (e) 26.1 ml. The answer is said to be C. but when i...

My school's computers all have firewalls. I tried to go here real quick, and it was blocked! Not a problem, my school's firewall sucks, and I know how to get past it :cool:

If we have to use a match to start a reaction, is it endothermic? I have searched for the answer in my book, wasted about 3 hours but to no avail. Anyone?

What is the concentration of Sr(OH)2 in a solution with a pH of 11? The answer is SUPPOSED to be 5.0 x 10^-4...buuut i keep getting 0.001.. i didnt think this would be a complicated question.. all i did was found the pOH to be 3..and found the concentration of OH, giving me .001 what am i...

I need to create a Physics project that involves a 5 step process to light a match. I have the steps down but I am having trouble with successfully lighting a match. My original plan was to attach a match to a mouse trap and when the trap is released, the match would rub against the sanded...

Howcome the ratio of the surface area of spheres are not equal to the ratio of volume of spheres? For example if I had two spheres, with an aspect ratio of 1:4 when comparing surface areas, yet I have 1:8 between those same spheres when comparing volume. This doesn't make sense to me...

Today, I went on a field trip with the Young Democrats Club to campaign for Kerry. We bassically just were spread out to busy intersections, given signs, and told to look enthusiastic. It was actually fun, and I had little mini-conversations with people stopped at red lights, thanking them for...

I need help with a very simple problem. Here it is: 8. [2pt] Match the object with the size scale. (E.g., if the first corresponds to B, and the others to C, enter BCCCCC) 1) Thickness of a window pane. 2) Diameter of a twig. 3) Diameter of a proton. 4) Diameter of a hair. 5) Size...

What would happen if I lit a match in an air-tight room completely filled with hydrogen?

In a system of several masses the center of force has same position with the center of mass in the geometrical space; Yes or No? Please explain why!

Whohoooo! We won with 0-6 (soccer) and are going to the European Championships next year! It was fun though, today I came from work and whole Amsterdam was taken over by skirt-wearing loud-singing males (the fact that I am happy is because we had to win with two goals in order to qualify...
