Zero Definition and 1000 Threads

Gonzalo Raúl Barrios Castro (born April 17, 1995), known by his gamertag ZeRo, is a Chilean former professional Super Smash Bros. player and streamer. He was considered the best Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player in the world throughout his career, with a record-breaking 56 consecutive tournament wins in the game from November 2014 to October 2015, including high-profile tournaments such as EVO 2015 and The Big House 5. Prior to the release of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, he was a top ranked Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project M player. His best known characters are Diddy Kong in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Pit in Project M, Meta Knight in Brawl, and Fox in Melee. He is the only player to have earned more than US$100,000 playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U competitively.
Barrios retired from professional competition in July 2020 following allegations of sexting two minors in 2014, which also led to Barrios' sponsors cutting ties with him. Barrios later publicly admitted to the allegations.

    Transfer function - zero in a thermal heater

    Hi I am trying to characterize a microscale resistive heater. In my Bode plot there is decay that is less than -20dB/decade indicating that there is a zero in the system. Anyone having an idea of what physical meaning a zero in a resistive heater has? Thanks.

    Integration with limit of zero giving infinity - help please

    Homework Statement Integral of ∫1/x^2 (or ∫x^-2) between 1 and 0.The Attempt at a Solution I can integrate it no problem to give me -1/x or x^-1, but when I put it between the limits of 1 and 0 I get ∞-1 which is just ∞. Is this right or do I need to use L'Hopital's rule. If so, how? I'm...

    Why is the flux through the top of a cylinder zero?

    This is example 27.2 in my textbook. I have the answer, but it doesn't make sense to me. I understand that if electric field is tangent to the surface at all points than flux is zero. Why, though, does my textbook assume that the ends of the cylinder don't have field lines extending upwards and...

    Zero eigenvalues or eigenvectors

    I have a bit of problem with zero eigenvectors and zero eigenvalues. On one hand, there seems to be nothing in the definition that forbids them, and they even seem necessary to allow because an eigenvalue can serve as a measurement and zero can be a measurement, and if there is a zero eigenvalue...

    Zero velocity, Zero acceleration

    In one dimension, the acceleration of a particle can be expressed as: $$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt} \frac{dv}{dx} = v \frac{dv}{dx}$$ Does this equation imply that if ##v = 0## then ##a = 0##?
