What is an ohmic resistor? How to check if a resistor is ohmic?

An ohmic resistor is a resistor that obeys Ohm's law V = IR (voltage = current x resistance). Therefore, if the voltage in such element is increased by n number of times, by the same number n has to incre...

In a particle accelerator, you accelerate an electron. Afterwards, you measure it's energy to be 350 keV. Tell my why you can't find the speed from this energy using your knowledge of classical mechanics.

In order to see what the problem is, I will attempt to find this speed. 350keV=5.6110-14 J Ek=1/2 * mv2 =>  v=sqrt(2Ek/m) By plugging in numbers, we...

What is the mathematical relationship between the frequencies of musical notes that we perceive identical, but at different octaves?

Humans have a logarithmic perception of the majority of uncountable and some countable things. A0, which is percieved as the basic note, has a frequency of 27.50 Hz. A1=55 Hz, and A<...

A basketball player throws his ball vertically upwards with an initial speed of v=40 m/s. Ignore air resistance. What is the speed of the ball at half of the maximum height?

Since we are neglecting air resistance the energy of the ball is conserved. We set the gravitational potential energy to be U=0 at h=0. Applying conservation of energy at h=0 and h=hmax , we ge...
