Zero Definition and 1000 Threads

If both the inputs in SR latch are zero and there was no previous output then what would be the output? If both the NOR gates are different then depending which one is faster the output will be accordingly, but what if both are identical?

I wish to verify a couple of assertions. From the NNDC and other references, it appears that the neutron capture cross section of 3H (Tritium) is zero to a first approximation. This holds true for all neutron energies, including cold neutrons. These statements are equivalent to asserting that 4H...

Homework Statement The absolute value of the gamma function \Gamma (x) that is defined on the negative real axis tends to zero as x \to - \infty . Right? But how do I prove it? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I've tried to use Gauss's Formula...

x / y = z, so z * y = x 1 / 0 = x, so x * 0 = 1 But 0 does not equal 1, so x / 0 is unsolvable. Oh, and I'm new to forums so if this shouldn't be here you can delete it.

Hi, just curious, is it false to say the vector 0 exists in R^n, n>0 and a natural number? i.e. does x = [0, 0, 0, 0] exist in R^4, or simply the zero space? My guess is that the first statement is not false given that the zero space is a subspace of R^n, n>0. Am I right or wrong? Thanks

My question may come as a surprise to many people but I have not understood the importance of zero and its significance. How can nothing be something? Why do we have zero as a number? If it's used for measuring then we can very well do without zero, for example if there is a fellow counting...

Hello forum, why does a system of linear equations really have no solution or one unique solution, or infinite solutions? What forbids a system to a finite number of solutions? thanks fisico30

I was wondering if someone could help me with this question: A charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge -2q is on the positive x-axis at x = a. Where would you place a third charge so it would experience no net electric force? I currently set up two equations: 1. 3q*q/b^2 where b is...

Reading about solar panels i came across a peculiar description - "When the panel is short circuited, there is current but no voltage, so no power is being generated." How does that work? What does the current represent in that case, and what moves the needle of an ammeter? Another...

Hi guys, I'm trying to sort out the following formula, but just can't find out how to solve for 'x'. Could you guys please help me out?? http://imageshack.us/a/img198/4850/screenshot20120917at725.png Uploaded with ImageShack.us And I have another one, is there a quick way to solve...

We expect the stress-energy tensor to have zero divergence, because this is required for local conservation of energy-momentum, which has been verified to high precision in laboratory and solar system experiments. The standard review article is Will, "The Confrontation between General Relativity...

Hi... I read somewhere that positron, in the massless, limit will have the same helicity as the antineutrino. This must be because they are in the same SU(2) doublet. So helicity operator must commute with the SU(2) generators. Please confirm.

if an event happens at the exact moment of another for a single observer, what does instantaneous mean? This stems from a question i posed about the speed at which two entangled particles collapse into one definite state when one is measured. It got m thinking what does zero time and...

Einstein's "Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper" ("On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies") was published September 26. It reconciles Maxwell's equations for electricity and magnetism with the laws of mechanics by introducing major changes to mechanics close to the speed of light. This later...

Hello All, I have been trying to find an established expression cp = cp(T) for a gas asymptotically close to zero K, as well as showing how does the function grow/behave in the low-temperature regions. This can be an idealized mono/diatomic gas Do you know a reference I can read about...

Hello All, Can matter exist in a gaseous form at zero K? I am asking because common gasses (e.g. air) would liquify at cryogenic temperatures... Many thanks

is it possible to construct a system with only finite number of point charges of arbitrary magnitude at finite distance from each other such that the total potential energy is zero everywhere? i doubt earnshaw's theorem would prohibit this construction, hence is it possible? thanks

Hi everyone, - Could you explain for me the meaning of "net" in the phrase "small net attraction between electrons" in superconductivity, (or synonym of it)? - We usually say that BSC theory explains the superconductivity of conventional superconductors, one feature of superconductivity is...

In most cases division be zero ends up with not defined , but why do people sometimes call it infinity ?

I have attached part of 2 pages from Justin T. Moores dissertation. I am wondering why he says every set of size \aleph_1 has measure zero. He is probably using some axioms that i am not familiar with. And I am not sure what the k_2 is. He says this towards the bottom of the...

Can anyone clarify the concepts of zero vector and zero scalar? -Devanand T

I was reading a paper and I saw a statement that says zero hydrostatic pressure. I was wondering what it means..

Hello everyone I have completed my freshman year in EE. For the summer, my professor has asked me to design a lock-in amplifier. First he has asked me to read about AD630. Now after reading the datasheet at (http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/data_sheets/AD630.pdf), I was a bit...

I'm having a hard time trying to picture the problem: A charge of +2q is placed at the origin and a second charge of -q is placed at x= 3.0cm. Where can a third charge +Q be placed so that it experiences a zero force? Here is how I picture the problem:

I've been looking over the quantum gravity papers that were posted on another thread, and I've got a question about Berman's calculations I'm not seeing a cosmological constant in that paper, and the identities look to me as if they won't work if you add "dark energy". Is that the case?

Homework Statement Consider the extreme case that the comet is released from rest at a distance R_max from the sun. In this case L is actually zero. Use the technique described in connection with 4.58 to find how long the comet takes to reach the sun. The radius of the sun for now is zero...

I was wondering, since resistance decreases along with temperature for most metallic conductors (usually power function), in theory, if this conductor were to be at zero kelvin, would the resistance of this material also be precisely zero, or would it just be some extremely small value? If it...

I understand that mathematicians have had to define the number '0' also as a polynomial because it acts as the additive identity for the additive group of poly's.What I do not understand is why they define the degree of the zero polynomial as [ tex ]-\infty[ /tex ]. An explanation on planetMath...

So with my final test tomorrow I thought to sneak in another question... Homework Statement The following circuit applies switch at the load RL via Zero Point Switching. The ratio of the coil windings at the transformer is N1:N2 = 4:1. The introductory voltage is a sinusoidal type and its RMS...

At zero kelvin,are there free electrons? At zero kelvin,the free electrons should have ZERO energy.But they are able to move under the influence of a electric field? But when they are attracted towards the positive potential shouldn't they gain K.E? So they are moving at zero kelvin?

I made some frequency calculations in Gaussian (using various method/basis set combos) and I have to find which method/basis set combo is the most accurate by comparing the results to literature values. I got the calculated wavenumbers along with their intensities but my professor tells me I...

Hi everyone, I am having difficulty solving the following question: Prove that the set V=R^2 with addition defined by (x,y)+(x'+y')=(x+x'+1, y+y') and scaler multiplication by k(x,y)=(kx+k-1, ky) is a vector space, find-(x+y) and the zero vector in this vector space. the following was...

Hi guys, I'm new here at this forum, but I don't understand this problem. Let a1 be a positive real number. Define a sequence an recursively by a(n+1) = (an)^2 - 1. Show that an does not converge to zero. (Is there a1 such that the sequence an converges to some non-zero value?) I'm...

Suppose I have an object moving in a free space at initial velocity of v (no friction). Then two forces of equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied on the moving object of which one of them is in the same direction as the moving object. Is there work done by that force?

how to proof that the electric fielf inside a conducting shell is zero ? i don't want to solve it using gauss law and not through practically taking example but i wanted to solve it through vector by finding the resultant zero at any point? please explain?

A cross B equals zero is a test for orthogonal cases. If AxB=0 then A is perpendicular to B.

There is a point between Earth and moon where the gravitational field strength is zero. What about the same thing with three or more objects? With three of more objects, is there always at least one point where the gravitational field strength due to the objects is zero? Why / Why not?

Hello, I have the following summation: \sum_{l=0}^Lb_l\exp\left(-j\frac{2\pi}{N}kl\right) If b_1=\cdots b_L=b then by making L=N-1 the above summation will be zero. Now, if the coefficients are not equal, can we make the summation zero, and how? Thanks

Homework Statement When a box falls in a vacuum, it accelerates at 10m/s^2 and if the mass is 10kg, then it has a net forfeit of 100N. As it falls for 10s, it has a final speed of 100m/s. At the moment of impact, there is a reaction force of 100N acted upon the box by the earth. But since the...

When a vector field representing a physical quantity (e.g. B) has ∇\cdotB = 0 what is then the physical interpretation of this? Some people have said that the field doesn't diverge away from anything, but as far as I can tell magnetic field can easily get weaker and weaker the further you go...

The function of a bus as a function of time is presented below. At what time is the bus traveling with the greatest velocity? What is its velocity equal to zero? Is there a time where the velocity is negative?

I'm trying to figure out why things happen to objects placed in environments near absolute zero. so let's take an ice cube. In a freezer it will remain stable, I'm guessing because the atoms that make up the ice cube will bounce off atoms in the air that are roughly similar in energy to the...

Title says it all. I've been wondering. The argument is, is there a minimal temperature required for any chemical reaction to reach its activation threshold? Or would the energylessness of the atoms prevent bonds from forming (or dissolving, I guess)? Conrad.

1.Why electric field is zero inside a conductor? Can anyone explain it with Gauss's law and without Gauss's law? 2.Is it possible to create electric field inside a conductor? If so,how and in which condition it is created?

Given are two square matrices of the same dimension, M and N. M is symmetric. N is non singular. From M and N form the symmetric matrix, M N N* 0 Where N* is the transpose of N. Is the signature of this matrix necessarily zero? Counterexample?

I found this theorem in my book on optics which I cannot prove: if f is a potential function in the plane, which is zero along a curve and such that the normal derivative to the curve is itself zero at any point along the curve, then f is zero in the whole plane. Can you give me a reference on...

A ZERO Divergence Vector Field There is theorem that is widely used in physics--e.g., electricity and magnetism for which I have no proof, yet we use this theorem at the drop of a hat. The theorem is this: Given sufficient continuity and differentiability, every vector function A such that...

New formula that can divide by zero to give an integer! Does anybody here know about the Bhartiya New Rule of Fraction(BNRF)? It is capable of dividing by zero! In most elementary terms, we know that division is successive subtraction. For example 6 divided by 3 is 2 because 3 can be...

Work is defined as force times displacement. When the force is applied on an object which does not move, or is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion, the work done is zero. So let's say I hold an object with a mass of 1 kg still in the air for 10 seconds. Because the object does...
