Conflicting Answers on W|A for 844200 and Units of Measurement

AI Thread Summary
Wolfram Alpha (W|A) provides different answers when inputting units of measurement due to automatic conversions, such as Celsius to Kelvin. The discrepancy arises when using Celsius in calculations, where W|A interprets it as a temperature difference. Users noted that selecting the "Celsius degrees of temperature difference" option yields a similar result, but with slight rounding differences. The discussion highlights how W|A's handling of units can affect the final output. Understanding these nuances is crucial for accurate calculations.

Hi.
I can't figure out why W|A is giving me 2 different answers, when i put in units of measurement.

'cos when you put in the units of ºC, W|A automatically converted them to ºK before using them! :biggrin:
 
Interestingly, you get the same answer in the Celsius-units-included version if you click on the "Celsius degrees of temperature difference" option.

Well, almost the same answer: 19890 instead of 19894.1... I guess W|A goes into rounding mode when it sees units.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
