I am having trouble understanding how the vector equation of a line : (x,y,z) + t(x1,y1,z1) can be used in conjuction with another vector in the form (x,y,z). I visualise it like this. Points are : O to P and O to Q. So there are two vectors. The vector P to Q is given by Q - P which is the...

Faster than light (FTL) is not possible via entanglement because you need to compare both the photons... or in other words entanglement is a single system that is "spread out" (across time-space) , the two photon pair behaves as a single system in which the two photons are within that system...

Hello Suppose we have to compare a set of forces calculated with an analytical model to a set of measured forces. What in your opinion is a good way to compare the forces? I have noticed that comparing the 3 components of the forces (suppose that we can measure all of the simultaneously)...

I did a forum search but with like a million pages on here, it was hard to sort out. Wanting to know if any of you guys know a website (or book) for comparing science programs at the graduate level in the US or Canada (engineering especially). I am now aware of a few useful sites like...

Hi! I'm working on a problem regarding a jet engine and I actually did solve it but I'm not sure about two things: At some point in the engine, air is heated at constant pressure (with the gas being almost stationary). Of course, this is done by the burning of fuel. But I found the...

After compiling the code below, GCC says that you can't compare a pointer to string by iso C++ standards. But I don't see a pointer anywhere (I don't know pointers for now...did it long ago, now forgot)...may be it has to do with the fact that arrays are called by reference. char...

I am doing some simulation like recrystallizaiton, crystal A-amorphous-crystal B. This crystal B is different from A and experimentally proved that B is more like crystal C. Even though the recrystallizaiton is not obvious. As far as I have done, the bond lengths and radial distribution...

Homework Statement Define T:P_1 \rightarrow P_1 by T(a+bx)=(a-b)+ax. Check as to whether T has an inverse or not and if it has, find T^{-1} Homework Equations T^{-1}(T(v))=v The Attempt at a Solution The range of T is P1, so T is one-to-one. The inverse of T is therefore...
