    MHB Conditional expected value (using measure theory)

    Hi, I'm trying to show that Givien a probability triplet (\theta,F,P) with G\in F a sub sigma algebra E(E(X|G))=E(X) Now I want to use E(I_hE(X|G))=E(I_hX) for every h\in G since that's pretty much all I've for the definition of conditional expected value. I know this property should use the...

    How does water volume affect electrical resistance?

    Hi, I've had an idea for a school physics project but I'm not sure if it will work. I want to measure the volume of water in a fixed shape container by passing an electrical current though it and monitoring how the resistance changes (with a potential divider circuit). My idea is that if I...

    Temperature as a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules

    Homework Statement I know that temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of gas molecules. at a given temperature different gases have the same average kinetic energy. But in solids and liquids there is also potential energy between the close atoms/molecules. how do i know that temperature...

    MHB Norm in R^d with Lebesgue measure

    Hey! :o In $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the Lebesgue measure if $f \in L^p, 1 \leq p < +\infty$, and if for each $y$ we set $f_y(x)=f(x+y)$ then: $f_y \in L^p$ and $||f||_p=||f_y||_p$ $\lim_{y \rightarrow 0} ||f-f_y||_p=0$ Could you give me some hints how to show that?? (Wondering)

    Pitot Tube will not measure stagnation pressure

    I have made a pitot tube that I am using to measure the velocity of air in a pipe. First, I placed the probe into the pipe such that the hole in the probe was parallel to the flow to obtain static pressure. It did this successfully and I proved this using a piezometer. However, I then turned the...

    MHB Is it enough to show that it is a Lebesgue measure?

    Hey! :o I want to show that when $\mu$ is a Borel measure in $\mathbb{R}$ with $\mu([0,1))=1$, which is a translation invariant, then it is also a Lebesgue measure. I have shown that $\mu([a,b))=b-a, \forall a,b \in \mathbb{Q}$. Is it enough to show that $\mu$ is a Lebesgue measure?? (Wondering)
