Reginald is out for a morning jog, and during the course of his run on a straight track, he has a velocity that depends upon time as shown in the figure below. That is, he begins at rest, and ends at rest, peaking at a maximum velocity Vmax at an arbitrary time tmax. A second...
Hi,
I have been tasked with finding a way to relate a bicycle tire's inflation pressure to its speed in traveling 160 meters.
Data was given showing that as the pressure increased from 70 to 90 psi, the speed increased marginally. No equations were given.
I think that it may have to do with...

Given the two standard definitions

(2) A computable number is a number which can be approximated to any degree of...
So I know that weight correlates with friction, as in more weight of an object means that it will experience more friction. However, what is not clear to me is why this occurs on a molecular level.
Thanks for the help
What is the relationship between light and time ?
Could light actually be time ?

I don't see a right angle in the picture anywhere, so I don't see how pythagorean's theorem is valid.
Alloys have higher resistivity than pure metals. In real life, our voltage source ,i.e. battery, is constant. Using the formula H=V^2/R, we get that resistance is inversely proportional to heat. Alloys, in that case, will produce less heat as their resitivities are low, so are their resistances.

This is probably pretty basic but I've never actually seen an explanation of how exactly the sine wave relates to the physical waves it is so commonly used to represent. Could it be imagined as like the periodic thumping of a speaker where the peak of the sine graph represents maximum air...
I've always just accepted that as you scale down a mechanical system the frequency and Q factor both increase. For example, this Wikipedia page simply says that "Small bells ring at higher frequencies than large bells".

Many physical laws involve relationships between time derivatives to space derivatives of one or more quantities. For example, thermal conduction relates the thermal energy time rate of change [dQ/dt] to temperature space rate of change [dT/dx]. In fluid flow, the Navier-Stokes Theorem relates...

I just took a test today, and I want to see if I got the right answer. I sort of guessed. Here's the question:

e) When Q>K, then ∆G=-RT
I put C, because when Q=K, the...
