Hi! I got the task to determine the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder, however it's not about just measuring the mass and the inner and outer radius and putting it into the right formula, instead I should roll it down an inclined plane. 1. Homework Statement I'm only allowed to use the...

So, here's the set-up: A small stereo speaker is connected to a function generator. A concave lens, bearing a ball is place over the speaker. Now, the frequency is slowly increased in the function generator. My question is, Will the ball really bounce at a certain frequency? Because I am not...

Does anyone know a reference with a discussion on the experimental determination of the metric tensor of spacetime? I only know the one in "The theory of relativity" by Møller, pages 237-240. https://archive.org/details/theoryofrelativi029229mbp

Which cell makes you ‘you’(different from any other individuals of the same sex)somatic or sex cells?I think somatic cells.Because if i am right all somatic cells are same ,so it can be determinant for making an individual but sex cells (I don’t know about egg cell but as i have studied about...

I know little about the experimental measurements of heat capacity. I can see you'd need to know both how much energy you've transferred to a nanoparticle, and measure the temperature change resulting to ascertain it. This brings me to my questions: How effective is laser heating of...

How could I find the lim as n-> infinity of the expression I attached? The only way I could find was to express it in terms of a definite integral. Integral of xe^(-2x) from 0 to 1. What is the other way?

I have to say if each reactant is first, second or zeroth order. Now, I know that usually, we have plots of ln([]) over time. But my teacher wants to trick me. Here is how I do this: Take two data points: convert them to [ ] and normal rate (remove the ln() function). Compare the two...

Theorem in electromagnetism says if the divergence \nabla\cdot E and the curl \nabla\times E are known, then E is uniquely determined. So my question is, the divergence equation gives 1 constraint and the curl equation gives 3 constraints, which add up to 4 constraints. On the other hand, the...

I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I posted it here. As the title suggests, I want to know how to calculate (at least roughly) the electric field induced by excitation and ionization of a material (such as a metal) using a high intensity laser. My final goal is to compare the...

It is said in the literature, I believe, one needs several nights of observations to calculate an orbit for, say,an asteroid. Using celestial mechanics mathematics and methodology, one produces the six orbital elements. It seems to me that most introductory texts on the subject, talk about...

Hello, if I was using an 800Mhz carrier which was modulated with the range of frequencies 200Hz-3.3khz, what would be the total bandwidth ? Would it be 3.1Khz * 2 = 6.2kHz or would it be 6.6kHz ? Thanks for any help.
