    Multiples of natural frequency?

    Multiples of natural frequency?? Hi all! I am a little confused. Why will an object not resonate with multiples of its natural frequency? I think due to the reason that through its multiples, it will not return (even if temporarily) to its natural state...am I mistaken?? Thanks in advance...

    Forced oscillations vs Natural frequency

    What happens if the frequency of the forced oscillation is Pi / 2 radians out of phase of the natural frequency of the spring mass system? I guess this makes the amplitude of the spring mass system to oscillate at a maximum amplitude.. Am I correct? Thanks in advanced..

    Combined cycle gas turbines (solar and natural gas)

    Not sure if I've posted it on the correct thread but I don't think this classifies as advanced physics! I'm currently doing a physics assignment where we have to choose an energy source for a town in Australia (Broome). I am choosing to use a combined cycle gas turbine with natural gas as...

    Re: Probability for the first digit of a natural number being equal to 1

    Lets define D1(n) to be the first digit of a natural number n, e.g. D1(571) = 5, D1(119) = 1, ... Naturally one would expect that all digits come with the same probability 1/9, but looking at it in more detail one finds rather counter-intuitive results. If one counts these digits and...
