    Astrophysics

    for q b i didnt do that colour index thing, i used the M=m - 5log(d/10) equation to work out the distance with the red filter, then i used the same formula for the blue filter and distance to work out the absolute blue magnitude. I got rigel

    Astrophysics

    what did you guys get for d)ii) though. I was stumped coz it sais the seperation between the two, does that mean you times the radius to center of mass by two?

    Astrophysics

    For d)iii) i did this Let I= k(pi)r^2 Now 100= k(pi)r^2 (1) and 99= k(pi)( r^2-R^2) where r is radius of big and R is radius of small, as this is the apparent surface area. so 99= k(pi)r^2 - k(pi)R^2 99= 100 - k(pi)R^2 from above 1= k(pi)R^2...

    Wave or particle - electromagnetic waves

    the electron can act as a wave and a particle. I did the same Q and i didnt think it was hertz either, hertz and nothing to do with catchode rays, did he?

    Back EMF

    thanks thats top stuff, textbooks are crap. ah thats why when the supply EMF = the back emf the motor stops accelerating and reaches an equilibrium got it

    BCS Theory

    In 1957, a team of three scientists, John Bardeen, Leon Cooper and Robert Schrieffer proposed the first plausible explanation of superconductivity. They proposed that at very low temperatures the carriers of electricity are not single electrons, but pairs of electrons called Cooper pairs. Whilst...

    Back EMF

    What is the go with back EMF. You see questions like a resistor is put in series with an electric motor to stop it from burning out? This is the only topic im fuzzy on and i got no idea. Anyone out there with some answers.

    Plank and Einstein's differing view....A plea for help

    e) make them run until they approach the speed of light so that they get realy heavy and slow and small, turning into infinate amounts of energy so that he could run his car off them. f) burn them to make "black bodies"........

    AC induction motor

    our prac was spinning a bar magnet ( stuck to a drill) below a suspended aluminium disc. Eddy currents where produced in the disc setting up a magnetinc feild to appose the motion of the spinning magnet, this magnetic field in turn (excuse the pun) follows the external magnetic field, spinning.

    net force on a satelite?

    so what do you think xyma is the net force zero or equal to the gravitational force

    net force on a satelite?

    there is a force towards the earth ( gravitational attraction), but..... hmm youve got me there, i dont think the net force is zero as a net force of zero means staying still, and no longer accelerating (like sitting in a chair), a satellite however is always being acted on by the gravitational...

    Plank and Einstein's differing view....A plea for help

    although there was no direct debate between Einstien and Plank on this issu, it seems that Plank and Einstien took different veiws about science and politics. During the nazi era in germany, plank stayed on and directed the kaiser Wilhelm institute, while Einstien and others left (otherwise...

    Misadventure/Appeal due to poor teaching?

    yeah our teacher didnt teach us barely any of the option for physics, now the test is tomorrow and i still havent done any. I should probrably not be writing this and go and study.

    25 words or Less

    If stuck in the exam, just write your area of study essay and include the occasional number/old guys name/year/picture of coils. As physics has become english anyway.
