HELP! Answer pls ^^ a tube train covers 432m from rest to rest in 1 minute. It first accelerates 1/3 m/s2 then goes uniformly and finally retards at 1 m/s2. Find the time taken in each of the three stages of the journey. PLEASE HELP ^^ CONFUSED ON WHAT FORMULA AND HOW TY...

I was just wondering about the following problem. Suppose that you have an arrow placed in a tube. If the arrow travels at a relativistic speed, does there exist a frame of reference such that the arrow is completely in the tube with extra tube at its ends? Does there exist a frame of...

Hello, say you have a cylindrical magnet magnetized through thickness (not radially) and you drop it through a copper tube. It will slow down. Is there an opposite force on the tube? If you were to hold the tube in your hand and drop the magnet inside, would the tube feel heavier?

Here is my question: A 24.0 cm -long wire with a linear density of 20.0 g/m passes across the open end of an 89.0 cm-long open-closed tube of air. If the wire, which is fixed at both ends, vibrates at its fundamental frequency, the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode...

How do u calc pressure at each end of pipe if u know its turbulent and u don't know the length. Just got viscosity, density, temp diff at one end, D. Cheers.

I recently invented a new application for vortex tube. The application requires a very minimal flow of air at freezing temperature. I wonder if it's possible to design a vortex tube at a very small size if only a very tiny air flow is required? Is flow rate proportional to physical size...

Hey everyone, I just got an idea today surfing the web on Wikipedia. I noticed that in Berlin (i think there) they have these light tubes that stick out of the ground that take the light from the sun outside and the light goes through the tube and lights up the subway system. I thought it was...

Anyone familiar with GM tube, please share some experience on the effect of temperature to GM tube performance, how does it influence? I found our GM tube tally has increase a little as the temperature increased rapidly from 4 degree to 55 degree, I wonder is it a casualness or a indication of...

Hello All, I'm working on a three-channel tube amplifier for some experiments I'm doing (and later on, my keyboard :biggrin: ) and I was wondering if the nice people here could give me some tips for the circuit construction. I've already ordered a bunch of 6au6 tubes (because they were 50...

Let's say there is a U-shaped tube, both ends of the tube open, filled with some fluid. The fluid is still because the atmospheric pressure pushing on both openings of the tube are the same. Suppose the column of fluid, when streched into a straight-tube, measures x. Given any cross-section...

Hey, How does a Tube Magnet's magnetic field differ from that of a normal bar magnet? What effect does the cylinderical shape and the hole through the center have on the the magnetic field. Also, i was wondering: If you were to put a long iron rod (round) through the center of a tube...

Why is the end of the hot filament where negatively charged electrons are being fired called the cathode end. 'cat' in chemistry means positive, I assume the same goes in physics as well?

I don't have a diagram for this, so I'm going to do my best to describe it. A glass tube lying horizontally has three different cross-sectional areas, A, B and C. Area A is 12 cm^2, B is 5.6 cm^2, and C is 6.0 cm^2. Mercury (density = 13,600 kg/m^3) is being pushed through the tube by a...

It seems that amps using vacuum tubes are becoming more and more popular with musicians these days. They're a bit expensive, at least the models I've seen, and the claim is that these vacuum tube amps produce a better sound or a richer sound. I was wondering if there was a physics-based...

Hey all; None of my EE classes cover vac tubes since they're largely obsolete. The thing is, for my senior design project (I have a year or so, no rush.) I'd like to build an audio amplifier. From experience I know the advantages of vac tubes and am willing to put up with the drawbacks...

Why it would be unwise to almost completely fill a test tube with HCL solution before adding a piece of metal? Is it because it's a acidic solution? Thanks

An aluminum tube with an outside diameter of 1,000 in. will be used to support a 10-kip load. If the axial stress in the member must be limited to 30 ksi T or C, determine the wall thickness required for the tube. I used tau=shearing stress/area therefore 30(pie times 1-d)=10 but that is not...

Why is the GM tube polarised? What benefit comes from having the anode at the centre of the tube? What happens if you reverse the polarity?

I want to design a tubing system using flexible PVC (1/2" diameter) tubing that carries water in a loop. Obviously there is a pump too, but that's not the focus here. What I want is a way to get all the air out, so that the loop contains only water. There is the idea of a "fill port", where...

Can someone please explain to me the difference between a cathode ray tube and a magnetron? I just started using a magnetron for sputter deposition in a project for a prof, and after reading about it, it seems to be the same. Just wondering, even though it may be a stupid question! Thanks!

Technically, this isn’t really a home work problem, per se, but let’s try to solve it anyway, shall we. We have a cylinder which at one end is closed off and at the other it is open. This cylinder has a total height H cm and diameter D cm (the real numbers aren’t all that important)...
