    Mineral and their composition

    I'm currently doing a little research in PCM for asbestos ID. My background is in chemistry and I've had to wade through a good deal of mineral classification terminology. My question is this; If cummingtonite and anthophyllite - two of the six recognized species of commercial asbestos fiber -...

    College Physics 1 - Composition of Forces

    Two forces of 200N are acting at a common point. The first force acts due East and the second force is acting 40 degrees North of East. Find the magnitude of the resultant force by cosine law and the direction using sine law.

    Can the Relativistic Velocity Equation Keep Velocities Below the Speed of Light?

    Homework Statement From the relativistic law of composition of velocities one deduces that if a particle has velocity ui in O, then in a system O' moving at -vi relative to O, its velocity will be u'i where: u'=(u+v)/(1+(uv/c^2)) Show, mathematically, that if 0<u<c and 0<v<c, then...

    Composition of a Mixture by Acid-Base Titration

    A 1.00-g solid sample containing a mixture of table salt (NaCl) and citric acid (H3C6H5O7, a triprotic acid) is dissolved in 15 mL of water. Titration of the acid solution requires 40.00 mL of 0.2003 M NaOH solution to reach the endpoint. Calculate the mass percent H3C6H5O7 in the solid...

    What is the analytical method for finding the composition of a function?

    Homework Statement Well its not really a problem, I'm just trying to see it there's a different method to solve the problem. My textbooks gives a CAS problem: Find f(f(f(f(f(f(x)))))) if f(x)= x^2+xHomework Equations None (or atleast that I know of)The Attempt at a Solution Since it's a...

    Composition of Neutral Pion: uubar, ddbar, or Linear Combination?

    How is it possible to have a pion that is made up of a linear combination of quarks? I mean, what are the physical constituents of the neutral pion? is it uubar or ddbar? Or does the linear combination mean that there is a 50 50 chance of a neutral pion being a made of uubar and ddbar?

    Composition of Lorentz Transformations

    It is not intuitive, for me at least, why when relating the velocity of 3 inertial frames (Say F1, F2 moving at v1 with respect to F1, and F3 moving at v2 with respect to F2), one mulitplies the transforms of F2 and F3 to get the transform for F1 with respect to F3 to get v3. I understand why v3...

    Quark composition of nucleons : dimensionality ?

    As a layperson, I read that nuclei components nucleons(n,p) are normally built up of three quarks. But does that number of particle not define only a plane (outside the radii of quarks themselves)...Are nucleon having only a surface (or a volume wiht 1 negligeable length) and not a volume ...

    Endomorphism Compositions and Injectivity/Surjectivity Criteria for Groups

    Hi. I haven't been here in a while, but I've just run across a question that I can neither find an easy counterexample for nor prove easily. Here it is: Let G be a group, and \alpha : G \rightarrow G and \beta : G \rightarrow G be endomorphisms. Assume that \alpha \circ \beta is an...

    Can the composition of 2 functions be proven using 3 formulas?

    Can anyone show me how to prove exactly that the composition of 2 function is again a function, by using the following 3 formulas? Suppose f: A -> B and g: B -> C are functions, then (1)\forall \ a \ \epsilon \ A : \exists ! \ b \ \epsilon \ B : (a,b) \ \epsilon \ f (2)\forall \ b \...

    Need help calculating percent composition

    Hello, I need some help calculating the pecent composition of casien and lactose in milk. I started out with 50ml of nonfat milk, at the end of the experiment I got 1.599g casien and 1.610g of lactose. My idea was to convert these values into ml using density but I could not find the...

    Is Cosmic Matter Composition Complete ?

    Is Cosmic Matter Composition Complete ? Convincing theoretical and observational evidence indicate that 5% of mass of the universe is made up protons, neutrons, and electrons (.05%). 25% of the mass is from dark matter. What is dark matter? Nobody is certain. 70% from dark energy of repulsive...

    Circle composition operator / Jacobson Radical

    In attempting to prove an algebraic identity in physics, I found that my proof was simplified in appearance if i used an operation a@b=a + b - ab By flipping through a book on ring theory, I found that this is called a "circle composition operation", and it is used in one definition of the...
