    I Calculating the Maximum total neutrino mass by using cosmological boun

    In an article its written, $$\Omega_{\nu} = \frac{\rho_{\nu}}{\rho_{crit}}=\frac{\sum m_{i,\nu}n_{i,\nu}}{\rho_{crit}} = \frac{\sum m_{\nu}}{93.14h^2eV}$$ Now I am trying to derive this for myself but I could not. Can someone help me ? So the values are, ##\rho_{crit} = 1.053 75 \times...

    How Is Maximum Spring Compression Calculated in Physics Problems?

    1/2 m v2 + mgh = 1/2 k x2 1/2 (5) (9) + (5) (9.81) x = 1/2 (200) x2 100 x2 - 49.05 x - 22.5 = 0 x = 0.779 m or x = - 0.289 m Answer key says the answer is 0.289 m but in my opinion the answer should be 0.799 m because I take h = 0 at the position where the spring has maximum compression so...

    How Does Eddington Luminosity Limit Black Hole Mass Accretion Rates?

    The Eddington luminosity gives a limit on the mass accretion rate of the black hole and therefore of the mass of the black hole. L_edd = 13*10^38 M/M_sun [erg s-1]. When I calculate from this I get that the maximum mass is M = 10^(-8)M_sun... which is impossible. Any ideas?

    Solving for Maximum Speed of Cube: Kinematics & Upthrust

    So, I recognise that: $$ma=pg\left( L^{2}\right) \left( L-y\right) -\dfrac {1}{2}pgL^{3} $$ whereby $$pg\left( L^{2}\right) \left( L-y\right)$$ is the upthrust while the other is mg. So, to find the largest speed of cube, I will assume that acceleration is zero since the acceleration slowly...

    Engineering Initially evacuated chamber and maximum theoretical work

    Given: V_1 = 10 L, V_2 = 22 L Not sure what I need to do here. We are told to ignore heat transfer, and the problem suggests that this is not a steady-state problem. The gage pressure is given, so I think that means we need to calculate for the absolute pressure, which would be 997 kPa. Cp and...

    Find Wavelength of Light Wave for Optimal Constructive Interference

    The green ray is moved upwards for clarity, they are all on same x-axis with no y component. Theres a phaseshift at both reflections of the green light because n1 and n3 are > n2. This results in a complete wavelength phaseshift, aka no impact on the wave. That means that only the extra travel...

    Maximum Compression for a Block on Spring

    Hi everyone, just a quick question.. I tried this problem using Newtons laws, not conservation of energy, and I got an answer exactly half of what the correct answer is, and I'm not sure why. Here is what I did: Net force = zero once the spring is compressed, therefore mg - kx = 0 mg = kx...

    Find the maximum potential difference across a series circuit

    I'm not really sure what I need to find exactly. From what I'm seeing, I could give C1 the max potential difference of 125V because it has the lowest capacitance, and because V = Q/C, this means the capacitor with the highest potential difference across its plates will be the one with the lowest...

    In cosmological models the relationship between proper distance to a galaxy at the emission and absorption times can be written as ##d_p(t_e)(1 + z) = d_p(t_e)## In this case in most cosmological models we get a maximum value for the ##d_p(t_e)##. This maximum value can be also seen from the...
