Hello: I am trying to figure out a way to calculate the number of calories burnt running. Before I do on to explain how I am doing this, I realize that there are many calculators out there that will do this for me, my interest is in finding out how this is calculated. I have had some...

Hi, can I connect two 12v batteries in series to get 24v and also each battery has individual connectors connected to 12v alternator from engine for charging? Would this cause problem? Or what type of converter (if there is one) that can do 12v to 24v with max. 50amp. Another option I...

Hello, Suppose you had an iron magnet. What effect would an electrical current have on this magnet? Would it still retain its magnetic properties? Thanks in advance for the help.

Homework Statement I have 6 weeks to master PIC microcontrollers for a design project. Does anyone have any resources that are good for getting a moderately complex project up and running in this time frame? Homework Equations none The Attempt at a Solution I've read through...

Hey. I'm a serious runner, and lately I've become very interested in biomechanics and running form. One thing I've found very interesting is a subset of running systems based around the concept of using gravity for forward motion. The general idea is that by keeping a straight body, but bending...

If a hamster runs in a wheel, how do I figure out the rotational velocity that the wheel achieves (after it stops accelerating)? Is it to do with the mass of the hamster or the speed at which it runs? I'm familiar with the basic concepts of rotational motion (moment of inertia, torque etc) but...

"QMD" running G and Lambda challenges Loop Gravity As I see it, and I may be missing the point entirely, this is a moment of opportunity and change for LQG and related researches. In brief, the story is that for several years Reuter has been saying that Newton's G and the cosmological Lambda...

I've noticed a weird thing that Matlab does whenever I save my m-file then try to run it. If I save my M-file with a simple file name like "HW4" or "untitlited" it will run. However if i save my m-file as file name HW#4_3.40 (I just wanted to label the file with the problem # from the text I'm...

When finding the amount of energy stored in the electric field of a point particle, one finds that it is infinite (due to the r = 0 limit in the integral of the energy density). Does this mean then that the field will never "run out" of energy? How can the electric field of a point charge, or...

Hi, Is it more efficient to run a heat pump in a house 24/7 or turn it off at night time and during work. All the pros seem to say its more efficient running them 24/7 I can't understand that as there is more heat loss with the greater heat differential running it 24/7 Thanks Darren

(a) What is the angular speed of the second hand of a smoothly running analog watch? ____ (rad/s) i got 0.03 pi webassign says "Check the syntax of your response" i also tried 0.03, but it's wrong also.. how do i put my answer?

Compare someone who is 10kg overweight to normal weight, how much faster and better can the normal weight person run a 5km race? Assuming each received did the same training and diet during the training. So both person might lose weight after the training period but their weight difference will...

Unidentified running object. Its 9 o/clock at night and i am just getting into my car, when this white shape less thing shoots past me, now there is no wind ,as my first thought was litter blowing around, when the thing started to wander all over the place at about my walking pace, i had...

Biological legs vs Cheetah prosthetic legs - which is better for running? EDIT: I misspelled "which" in the subject line, how embarrassing. You may have heard of Oscar Pistorius, a double below-knee amputee from South Africa who recently won the silver medal in the 400m at the South African...

I need to get a server running locally so I can run my 'Hello World' Java Web app. http://benmira.free.fr/en/j2ee/struts1.htm" I'm using. Unless I misunderstand, all I really need to do is copy all the code into flat files with the appropriate filenames - and then compile it with Ant. But...

My professor told us he wants all our work done in mathcad, so I buy the program, load it, get it activated, do my homework, and save. Today I try to load it to print it, and the darn program will not load. It gives me an hourglass for a few seconds, then the hourglass goes away and it never...

Social conservative uprising? Brownback is back Something that hasn't been discussed too much, amid the 'apparent' Democratic sweep, is whether the whole USA has been moving farther to the right, Democrats included (Harold Ford, anyone?). I'm amazed to see that Sam Brownback's 2008 presidential...

Hi all, I am new on the forum. I have a customer who is having some problems with running their motor with the VFD. I realized they had tampered with the setup parameters and luckily we corrected all the parameters. However, they have gained control on the motor, but the motor is...

Hello, Are there any coil setups for transformers that when tuned or combined in weird ways run with gain? I heard that coupled inductors for CB radio antennas do this, but are there any effects similer to this for transformers? I heard an account from someone who said that two out of tune AC...

Sorry, I should have posted this in my other thread! Here's the information for the question: "A man is running at speed c (much less than the speed of light) to catch a bus already at a stop. At t=0, when he is a distance b from the door to the bus, the bus starts moving with the positive...

Here a description of what I do to. Your client was ticketed for running a red light but claims that he did not run the light. You must make a case to the judge explaining why your client was unjustifiably given a traffic citation for running a red light. You must determine the speed of the...

I recently saw an episode of mythbusters where they tested the theory that if you run in the rain you get less wet. Their results turned out to be the exact opposite, they found that running in the rain actually made you more wetter. I'm wondering now, taking into account only the "falling" rain...

hello, can anybody help me with a program to run .rar(basically video) files? Thanks Jake

http://trace.lmsal.com/POD/TRACEpodarchive4.html http://trace.lmsal.com/POD/movies/T171_000828.avi I've sent several emails to Lockheed Martin trying to ascertain the author of this image. I would like to get some specifics about the image regarding the start and end times, the cadence...

I'm going to be running an appliance off car batteries. Appliance specs: 120V 60HZ 12A 1500W I need to run it for about 6 hours. Would a single car battery with an engine running maintain that power? Or will i need to connect several up in series??

Hi I need some help. The question is: At the local swimming hole, a favourite trick is to run horizontally of a cliff that is 8.3m above the water. One diver runs off the edge of the cliff, tucks into a ball and rotates on the way down with an average angular speed of 1.6rev/s. Ignore air...

This may be a simple question but say if two football players are running at each other with equal momentum why does the one who gets lower so to speak win?

A train travels at a high speed v wrt the earth. A runner on the train sprints toward the back of the train at velocity v wrt the train. Clocks on the train should run slow compared to Earth clocks. The runner's clock should run slow compared to the train clock. Therefore the runner's...

Can anyone tell me if an old engine (50 years old) will run ok with modern multi grade oils, and unleaded petrol (without major modifications)?

:rolleyes: What is the world coming to? Hackers have managed to get Microsoft's Windows XP operating system running on an Apple Mac computer. The success ends a competition started to see if the feat was even possible when Apple unveiled computers that used Intel chips. The pair who...

I just reinstalled Suse Linux 10.0 with GNome interface. I tried to test c++ with a hello world application. I compiled it like this g++ -o hello hello.cpp Although the compiler built the executable file, when I tried to run it from the shell using exec, it said bash:exec:hello...

My problem is as follow! A 45kg dog that is leached, starts to run and the line is all out when he have reach the speed of 20 m/s. The owner will experience a tweak. How do you approximate, this tweak? My thinking is that it depend on how fast the deceleration are, according to this...

question. Is it a good idea to use ctl+alt+del to shut down Internet Explorer while running a video game? The intent would be to save system resources. If it matters, the game is Fallout Tactics and I run windows XP. I tried it and it worked, except for the fact that I couldn't restart...

Tell me if this theory of mine makes sense. The stairs in my house creak. Creaking is caused when you step on stairs. It makes sense to me that it should be quieter to run up and down my stairs, that they should creak less. Here is the reason. When you walk up stairs usually, you...

My physics book tells me: "A person who runs, and thus gains kinetic energy, gains mass (albeit negligible) according to Einstein's mass-energy relation." I do not think that any energy has been gained from 'outside' the system since the kinetic energy is derived from chemical energy that is...

There's been a lizard running around our house, and we can't catch him. He's in my room now. I'm tired of it

I have windows me would somebody please tell me how to check and see what programs are running in the background on my pc? also how to get rid of extra stuff I'm not using in the task bar. I close them but next time I reboot they're all right back again. I looked in the startup menu to...

Hello if you're running and looking at your own imagine in a mirror you're holding in your hand, how would the image look like? what if you were running at .99c ? and why?

we are familiar with the "running" of coupling constants, as for instance in QCD or even in QED where alpha (the electrodynamic coupling) is about 1/137 at long distances and low energies but increases to about 1/128 as energies increase and distances diminish. Who would have imagined that...

Hello I was trying to calculate the energy in calories used by a man of weight M running at speed V. What would be the fastest way to calculate this? E = 1/2 (Vf^2) x M - 1/2 (Vi^2) x M (with Vf = final velocity and Vi = initial velocity ) Oh by the way I designed a simple program for...

I found it interesting when i learned that no matter how fast you are traveling through space, you will alwys measure light to be traveling at the same speed. Then I thought of something: What would happen in this situation. There is a race. The two racers are me, wearing my "light speed"...
