anyone know how scientists measure the rotation period of the moon? thank you!

Hello, I would like to know different ways to measure the speed of light. It's for one of my project. I would like to know if there are simple ways to do it. I already know that we can measure the speed of light using a microwave...

Hello, folks. Q: How can one measure the density of states of a semiconductor and a conductor? I would imagine you want to measure the charge carrier density and then you can calculate the density of states. If so, what observable(s) can yield the charge carrier density? How can you...

suppose I have a long thin pipe. There is some liquid inside (probably water, but can add stuff to it if needed). On a certain segment of the pipe I want to measure the velocity and/or pressure of the liquid at various points along its length and feed the results into the computer. Flow of...

Thanks a lot for everybody's answers. Upon some consultation with others I have concluded that this just seems to be the wrong way to solve what I am trying to solve. Sorry about this. ----------------- suppose I have a long thin pipe. There is some liquid inside (probably water, but can add...

Homework Statement A Doppler blood flow unit emits ultrasound at 5.0 {\rm MHz}. What is the frequency shift of the ultrasound reflected from blood moving in an artery at a speed of 0.20 m/s? What equations would I use to calculate the doppler shift? It is not in my textbook...

What is the definition of a fat cantor set? How do I show that the fat cantor set has positive Lebesgue measure and does not contain any interval. I know for the cantor set that at each stage, we remove the middle third of each interval starting with [0,1]. I am wondering if instead for the...

I'm doing some experiments, and I need to measure the current (and/or voltage) going through several loops of wire as a magnet slides through. The magnet slides parallel under the loops at a certain speed. I have a multimeter and an ammeter. The problem with the ammeter is that it's just a...

I have a cylindrical neodymium magnet. I know that the magnetic field varies with distance, but how would I determine the magnetic field B at a certain point, through experimentation? I know how to find the force between two magnets at different distances by balancing out with gravity, but I'm...

What is the device used to measure percent light absorption in pigments? I remember finding the percent light absorption in the pigments of some vegetables for a high school bio lab. I am pretty sure the device used was not specific for pigments. The device was user friendly- we just stuck...

I need some guidance into understanding Radian Measure and the Unit Circle. This was the topic where I tanked and had to drop the course. I'm going to pick it up again next fall and want to start preparing now. Any help is appreciated. Sean

Hi there, I just wonder how to measure the square of angular momentum and the z componet of angular momentum in QM system? If I have two spin (marked as 1 and 2), why J^2 (total) doesn't commute with J_{1z} or J_{2z} ? or why they cannot be measured at the same time? (Well if I calculate the...

The multimeter in our lab has temperature measurement function. I am wondering how it works. Can it measure temperature of insulating materials or it just work for metal?

Can anyone tell me if there's a device or method to DIRECTLY mesaure the frequency of a light source? Thanks, Joe M.

Homework Statement A wave source approaches you at constant speed and you measure a wave frequency f1. As the source passes and then recedes, you measure frequency f2. Find the expression for the frequency emitted if the source were stationary in terms of f1, f2, and wave speed v...

Hi, Im investigating how infra red is affected in different areas e.g at home, out side, in the dark or in light. To do this i have made a circuit with a photodiode from the company rapid. The problem is that the photodiode is operating as just a switch, saying if the infrared is on or off so i...

Short version: What is the difference between the Lebesgue measure and the box counting dimension of a set? Long version: I was reading up on the definition of the Lebesgue measure, and the description of how to take the Lebesgue measure of a set (which I understood basically as "cover the...

If a sequence of measurable functions (real-valued) converges in measure, is it true that you can find a subsequence that converges almost uniformly? (This is obviously true if m*(domain) is finite...but in general is it?) If so, can someone outline a little why?

Alright I have to questions one is on how to measure the time it takes for my computer to solve a particular code I've tried the the "tic toc" and that seems to be dependent on the time frame that I typed in tic and toc. I need something that Is only dependent on the time taken to process and...

I was told that you can find a disjoint sequence of sets...say {Ei} such that m*(U Ei) < Σ m*(Ei).. That is the measure of the union of all these sets is less than the sum of the individual measure of each set... This is obvious if the sets aren't disjoint...But can someone give me an example...

Im doing a school project where we need to come up with an accurate way to measure the moons orbital velocity with an experiment... My plan was to find the radius of the moons orbit, then its period, and based on a distance over time find its velocity. However i realize I am making a serious...

What position should you start to time the period and why? Should you start to time the period straight away or wait, and if so for how long (how many oscillations)? If the length is fixed should you use a long or short pendulum to increase precision? If the mass is fixed should you use a large...

Is there a way to have some observables, apply an equation and find a measure if the system is chaotic or not? For example, measure the time-dependent displacement of the wings of an airplane, apply some analysis and then say "OMG! And I mean O.M.G.! We are in the chaotic regime. Better do...

Hi, I have few alternators(one is 3phase), and I want to test the current generated for each alternator at a same rpm. however, what is the proper way of doing this? what is the connection should be? is there a need to convert them to DC, and charge to the battery while testing? or any other...

Hey everyone, I am integrating something (specifically 2-forms, but I think this is a general statement) over a set B of (real) codimension 2 in a 4-manifold (CP_2). I've been told that the measure of a set of codimension 2 will vanish, but I don't really understand why. I've been...

I am confused about lebesgue measure. I have heard that the lebesgue outer measure of the rational numbers is 0. So could someone please give an example of a set of open intervals such that: a. The union of these intervals contains the rational numbers on [0, 1] b. The sum of lengths...

When a star or galaxy etc is said to be 10 light years away is that from a standard Earth's velocity distance (ie without length contraction) or do we take into account Earth's velocity and gravitation and have a standard length (maybe accordance with the milkyway being stationary or if we...

Problem: f_{n}\rightarrow f in measure, \mu(\left\{f_{n}>h\right\})\leq A Prove that \mu(\left\{f>h\right\})\leq A. My Work: Suppose not, then \mu(\left\{f>h\right\}) > A. From the triangle inequality for measures we get \mu(\left\{f>h\right\}) =...

Hi, I am interested in using an accelerometer to calculate the speed of a car. The accelerometer is a triaxial one and gives 3 values of acceleration; x y and z. These can be assumed to be accurate as i have already worked on the calibration of these values so that they come out in gs. Is...

Hi! Im measuring how much wood expands in different temperatures using a strain gauge. do i need to use a wheatstone bridge circuit schematic? or else how do i heat up the wood without spoiling the strain gauge. Actually how will i heat up the wood anyway? Also how would i draw a diagram to...

Hi I need to measure the small changes in resistance of a strain gauge. I have read that a wheatstone bridge circuit is used to do this.. but I don't understand why I can't just use a milliammeter to measure the change in current through the strain gauge and then use R=V/I to find the new...
