    Simulate FST3126 4x bus switch in multisim

    I'm need to simulate a circuit with a FST3126 4x bus switch in Multisim. I was planning on using the component wizard to make an FST3126 as it's not one of there components, but I'm not sure how it works. Looking at the data sheet logic diagram I though the component acted like 4 switched...

    Gravity another question from a bus driver

    if we accept that there is zero gravity at the center of the earth. then this would be true for stars and even black holes.. and if you move from the center, at some point there will be an "event horizon" (for want of a better term) where the gravity is half G. and further, if a cold body such...

    Bus arrivals independent random variables

    Hi. Why in all literature bus arrivals are referred as independent random variables (Poisson as well)? Is there any reference where there is some math explanation except intuitive approach which of course tell that there is no correlation between 2 bus arrivals? Best regards

    Why Do You Move Backwards When Jumping Inside an Accelerating Bus?

    Does Jumping on a bus such that you are not touching any part of the bus (i.e. only the air inside the bus), when the bus is accelerating forward, result in you moving backward relative to the bus (due to inertia)? If yes, why isn't it the same when you are jumping on the Earth? If no, why not...
