Hey guys
What's the connection between an increase in pressure and the melting point of ice? Ice contracts as it melts so does an increase in pressure reduce or increase the melting point?
I was reading about states of planetary ice in the following article. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/06/150622182455.htm when it struck me that perhaps we should not assume that pressure increases as we descend into a large object.

Do systems further away from equilibrium increase entropy faster than a system with a high level of entropy and does this increase push the universe towards thermal equilibrium faster. Is there anything stopping the universe from reaching thermal equilibrium?
Hi guys,
This question has me a bit stumped and I can't seem to find any methods on Google that would help me solve this:

I understand that from KVL

What force causes the rotor to accelerate?
In fact physically, the rotor is moving because of field flux interacting with armature current's flux.

So I have a 28BYJ48 stepper motor... it is rated at a voltage of 5V. I would like to optimise its speed and torque, which could be done through increasing voltage, but I know that an increase in voltage means more current i.e. will get a little hot. My question is... if I do run it at a high...
Hi everyone.
Could anyone help me solve this. I need to find the increase and decrease intervals of f(x) = sin(-3x).

I am building a simple pulley for a weightlifting machine. In most cases pulleys are designed to lift heavier loads easier, I want to actually make it harder to lift the load… So I don't have to put so much weight on the end.

Field strength decreases amount of h^2 so according to formulas potential energy decreases as h increases.
