In my TD classes I have to deal with entropy. But what does it really mean? I know that it is the degree of disorder and the equation S=q/t. But what is this disorder? How can a physical system be aware of order and disorder since it is an abstract concept?They say that solids have high order...

Hi everyone, one my textbook there is written (if two system blocks are asintotically stable and are in series, their product will be asintotically stable), but I've heard that sometimes the transfer function of the controller could be not asintotically stable in some cases (see p.i.p...

Why should the input follow the exact output in control systems (Transfer function). What if my system is an amplifier ? shouldn't that means that the output is the input * gain ? I can't understand the differences between dealing with a real system ( such as an amplifier) of dealing with a...

Homework Statement Look below. Homework Equations So my book says that you have a conservative system when E'(t) = [(1/2)m(x'(t))2 + V(x(t))]'(t) = 0. It gives an example of V(x) = -(1/2)x2 + (1/4)x4, whence setting y = x' gives E = (1/2)y2 -(1/2)x2 + (1/4)x4. According to the book, E...

I search after information in these things: I think there are a lot of controllers and processors in the car but in which devices in the car they are and what them doing in these devices? What are the operating systems in the cars? What is algorithm for robust control?

I read in a book that if the constraint forces do work, the system is conservative, else it's nonconservative. In that case, consider a system of two bodies moving in an elliptical path under gravitational attraction. Since the gravitational force is continuously doing work on the particles, by...

Using Laplace can someone please show me in simple terms how i would solve the following function? This is a lecture example. The solution just shows the answer, nothing about how we get it or what it represents. I am finding this subject particularly difficult to come to grips with. δ(t-1)...

I am looking for a book that covers these topics at a self-contained level for self-study (ie: a book designed for a short course on the subject or lecture notes): Things in bold are of most interest to me. I notice there are a lot of pure math books on this subject but I'm looking for...

Homework Statement Suppose we know that a linear system Ax = b has a unique solution. What can we say about the solutions of the linear system Ax = 0? a) It has the same solution. b) The solution to Ax = b is also a solution to Ax=0, but there may be other solutions. c) Ax = 0 has a...

I am reading "Linear System Theory and Design" by Chen and he says (in what follows g(t,tau) is the impulse response function): If a system is causal, the output will not appear before an input is applied. Thus we have Causal <==> g(t,tau) = 0 for t < tau. However, this seems incorrect...

What is the best book out there for Engineering Signals and Systems? One that is clear & easy to understand and has many different problems with solutions. The book I am using has no solutions and there is no way to check my work. I hope someone knows a similar book...

Hi! I am reading Molecular Driving Forces, 2nd ed., by Dill & Bromberg. On page 53, example 3.9, we consider why energy exchanges between two systems from the point of view of the 2nd law. We consider two separate systems. Each has ten particles, and each particle has two possible energy...

Hi everyone, I've got an optimisation/computing question. I have a system of nonlinear equalities and inequalities, which I've written below for reference. It's the conditions for a minimiser of a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker problem. Would anyone be kind enough to explain how I could use software to...

The combination of special relativity and quantum mechanics in a single framework makes our understanding of such systems to be true only in 4D, Minkowski space...I have noticed that recent published work concerning 2D systems and I am not sure about this reduction of 4D to only 2D, does it mean...

let f = x2 + 2y2 and x = rcos(\theta), y = rsin(\theta) . i have \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} (while holding x constant) = 4y . and \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} (while holding r constant) = 2y . i found these partial derivatives by expressing f in terms of only x and y, and then in...

Hi all. What does it mean that a function in polar coordinates may not be a function in Cartesian coordinates? For example, r(\theta) = 1 + \sin\theta is a function because each \theta corresponds to a single value of r. However, in Cartesian coordinates, the graph of this function most...

Hey all, How do drug delivery systems work? Lets say I have a drug that I want to test out, let's called it DrugX. Now drugX will not work by it self because there is something in the body that kills it right away, or it can't bypass the bloodbrain barrier. Now, I have this chemical...

Hello, my question is that almost all textbooks say that a linear system will give the output to a weighted sum of impulses which equals the superposition of scaled responses to each of the shifted impulses. But if we apply the same input which is a weighted sum of impulses to a non linear time...

1) y(t)=dx(t)/dt Is this system memoryless? 2) y(t) = 0 if x(t)<0 x(t) + x(t-2) if x(t)>=0 Is this system linear? Thankyou :)

This has been a contradiction in my brain for some time. If I want to rotate one nuclei (spin 1/2), with say an applied magnetic field B and RF pulse (at the appropriate larmor frequency), how does the spin actually rotate? I thought it can only take on discrete values of 1/2 or -1/2...
