Hey guys, I was just wondering what is an error during a lab? I always get these parts wrong on my lab, mainly because I don't know of any errors that are occurring in a lab. For my lab I was using a ballistics pendulum and sometimes the rod wouldn't pull back right or shoot right. Would that...

I know this isn't really general math but here goes, I need to insert an image into my text on latex, when I put this; \begin{figure} \begin{center} \includegraphics[scale=0.7]{CantBeamPointLoad} \end{center} \caption{A cantilever beam with a point load P at the end of the beam}...

Hello. I have developped a transimpedance amp using LF356, unfortunately I get an oscillation at 500 kHz of low level (10 mV) but not acceptable. I've tried all classic tricks, decoupling power supplies ... With no real improvement and so I'm going to developped a similar amp using discrete...

Hi all, After about 15 weeks of no use (set theory course this term), my TI-89 is now completely unresponsive to any input. I have tried removing the batteries, holding down [left] + [right] + [2nd] + [on], and [-] + [)] while reinstalling one battery as indicated in the owner's manual. I...

I have been creating simple programs from the hello world one to simple math and loops - all of a sudden when I went to practice more today my programs would be completed but the window showing the result would pop up and almost instantaneously close itself - in the end I can't see the result...

I just had my outboard serviced end of last season. When I got it a year ago, it would tend to start up on first pull. Here's what I want to understand: It will not run below medium-high speed. If I go one degree below medium, the motor will slow and eventually stall. At the same time, at...

I am trying to post a question in the physics section but the LATEX is misbehaving. It seems to be stuck on the equation for kinetic energy. Any LATEX command I put in always shows up as the kinetic energy equation. Any ideas on how to fix this? I have closed the web browser and opened it up...

I hope you can help me with this problem. A few days ago, I began a post with a LaTex equation in it, but never completed the post (I got the answer I needed). I'm trying a new post today, and no matter how or what I enter as LaTex, when I preview the post I see the equation I tried to use a...

I have been pulling my hair out on this one. I have a double** that is a private member of a class. The constructor declares and initializes it as a 2 dimensional dynamic array of doubles (an array of arrays). Then it sets every element of the array equal to 0 with a set of two nested for...

I want to talk about video drivers. When I go to my device manager I have no 'known' video drivers. There is a tab that is titled 'Other devices'. When I click on it, there is a driver titled "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)". The manufacturer is unknown and I cannot install any software to...

. I tried making a newman motor according to a video on youtube. I have copper wires coiled around a plastic pipe, 200 above and 200 coils below the middle of the plastic pipe. The shaft in between is made of iron and it is quite thick. Now when I connect a 9v battery to the two ends of the...

What is wrong with my proof? Let \theta=cos^{-1}x-\frac{\pi}{2} Then cos\theta=cos\left(cos^{-1}x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) RHS=xcos\frac{\pi}{2}-sin(cos^{-1}x)sin\frac{\pi}{2} =-\sqrt{1-x^2} Therefore \theta=cos^{-1}(-\sqrt{1-x^2}) \theta=\pi-cos^{-1}\sqrt{1-x^2} Hence...

Hey all. I am building an IR modulator but seem to have a small kink in the design. Here is my schematic: Here is a picture of the oscilloscope, connected between ground and the output of the TL555 timer and the output of the second transistor (the output pulse going into the LED's)...

Hi there, I'm having some issues with logic functions in matlab. I don't use them very much so I'm not too familiar. What I'm trying to do is create an 'm' file for a physics project and I would like a certain progression. I'm trying to create some 'if' statements to do this. So first of all I...
