  4. I am currently trying to do a simulation in rstudio. I am not using real data, the task is to just do a simulation on a topic of my choose within the module of macroevolution and phylogenies. I have attached a picture of an example of a graph which I have produced in Rstudio... I won't be using this in my piece.. But I wanted to check if I am on the right lines? My chosen topic is how climate change may impact extinction rates of coral reefs. Any tips and suggestions on the models I should use, or how to use Rstudio correctly, would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this post isn't clear enough.. Do let me know if you would like any clarification on anything Just to…

  6. Q1- A transverse wave on a string has the equation y(x, t) = (1.5 m)*sin((43 m-1)*x-(2577 rad/s)*t). If the tension in the string is 270 N, what is the mass per unit length? Do we not use the formula v=w/k and plug the v into the equation v = √(Fₜ/ μ) to solve for μ for the answer? "w" being 2577 and "k" being 43. I get something like 0.075kg/m, if the method is correct could it be that I am making an error by not converting some units? Q2 -A torque is applied to a point on the rim of a wheel. The force has instantaneous components of (0.0i + 37.6j) N and the point on the wheel has a coordinate of 0.168i m. If the wheel can be satisfactorily modeled as a…

  7. How does someone know what to put on the left side and what to put on the right side (of the reactants). I put an example below. Evrey time I solve an eqation I see the the one product is on one side or the first 2 or 3 ekements on the first product are on the second product

    Hello guys, My surfaces professor likes to put BET problems into his exams. Me and my classmates seem to have a problem with one of the exercises. So the question is pretty much the same in both exercises in this post, calculate the constant C, monolayer, and then find the specific area. So in the second problem (last two photos), finding these values and calculating the specific area has been quite easy, but now when trying to form the plot ourselves there seems to be a problem. We get too low values with this given data and the formula for Y-values. Even in the other exercise with the premade plot, the data doesn't give the same curve if we try to do it by hand. Is…

    This problem doesn't seem complicated, but I still can't get it done. I can't figure out how to write the equation with all the required parameters in the first part. I have used the Laplace equation for this one (This is probably correct). Also the third part, How can I calculate the force with knowledge of the dimensions of the plates?

  11. I would like to understand whether the physical concepts I have applied and the physical situation I have modeled are reasonable, as I am really afraid that they are not consistent with the result I have obtained, a frankly unsolvable ODE. First consideration) Perfect wetting means the contact angle is zero. The drop won't have constant mean curvature because the pressure inside at the bottom will be more than at the top. Second consideration) Considering the forces acting on the portion of the droplet below some level, we have gravity, surface tension (where the surface of the lower portion meets the surface of the upper portion) and air pressure. So, if we …

  15. So, I'm doing a project on fuel cells and therefore I am looking into Hydrogen production. Now the most promising one to me was Green Hydrogen. Or in other terms using renewable energy to drive electrolysis, creating Hydrogen and Oxygen. But where would we get the water, without destroying whatever climate we're taking it from? I can't imagine sucking thousands of liters of water from a lake or the ocean to be a good idea.

    (From Rieffel, Eleanor G.; Polak, Wolfgang H.. Quantum Computing: A Gentle Introduction.) Let's call vectors a=(1,0,0), b=(0,1,0), and c=(0,0,1) One answer is the basis {aa,ab,ac,ba,bb,bc,ca,cb,cc}. Let's take two different vectors in V: d=(0,sqrt(1/2),sqrt(1/2)) and e=(0,sqrt(1/2),-sqrt(1/2)). a, d, and e are orthonormal. The second answer is the basis {aa,ad,ae,da,dd,de,ea,ed,ee}. Of course, there are many other bases.

    (From Rieffel, Eleanor G.; Polak, Wolfgang H.. Quantum Computing: A Gentle Introduction.) Exercise 2.9. In the BB84 protocol, how many bits do Alice and Bob need to compare to have a 90 percent chance of detecting Eve’s presence? For the reference, here is a description of the BB84 protocol: My solution: If eavesdropping has taken place, then about 25% of the pairs of bits don't match. In this case, when Alice and Bob pick a pair at random, there is 75% chance to pick a matching pair. If they continue and pick n pairs, there is 0.75n chance that they all match. 0.758 = 0.1. So, if they compare 8 or more pairs, they have 90% or more chance to…

What fraction of photons reach the screen? Assume that each photon generated by the laser pointer has random polarization. My answer is 1/2*cos2θ*sin2θ. Any objections?

  21. So I am trying to learn how to write a proper risk statement. My textbook does not explain it - it only refers to making a risk statement as being important. I used google and it gave me the following template: If [event] due to [root cause] then [consequence]. Root cause is determined by asking "Why" five times. So I tried it out: Event: Student spills acid on themselves. Root cause: Lack of concentration - Why1? They were tired. Why2? They did not get much sleep last night. Why3? They were out drinking. Why4? They wanted to make friends. Why5? They are an extroverted person. Consequence: they suffer chemical burns. So the statement becomes: …

  23. HI, I have a question where a roller-coaster does 55m in 3s and we are asked to calculate its acceleration assuming it's vertical and constant. Other than that, there is no other information given, no initial velocity, no final velocity. So can you find the acceleration of an object with only distance and time given?
