Help with Electrical Impedance?
I have used the equations Z = V/I (impedance = voltage / current at the lowest current value) and Z = L/CR (where C=L/(r^2 + XL^2)) (impedance = inductance / capacitance x resistance) to calculate the impedance but both give me different answers.
Why are the two answers different although they are working out the same thing?
I would be very grateful if someone could help me resolve this as i have no idea which is correct.
1 AnswerEngineering6 years agoHi. I've been stuck on this multiple choice question for days now. I've managed to narrow it down to two answers but both seem right.?
Question: Is there such a thing as 'Incompressible Aerodynamics'?
A. No, as air is a gas and as such is always compressible. Density changes are always dominant and therefore it can't exist
B. Yes, but only if the flow speed is low enough, so the changes in density can be neglected. This is the case for Mach numbers below 0.3.
In my opinion both answers are correct as, in theory, it does exist but in reality it can't exist as the density is never constant, but, as it is a multiple choice question, only one answer can be correct.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me on this as I just can't seem to come to a conclusion..
1 AnswerHomework Help7 years agoMaths Homework, Help!!?
An airline company accepts bookings for 20 executive class seats on a flight from London to Bergen. The probability that a customer, who has booked an executive class seat, will not turn up is 0.15 and may be assumed independent of the behaviour of other customers.
The airline also accepts bookings for 50 standard class seats on the same flight. The probability of a customer, who has booked an standard class seat, will not turn up is 0.08 and may be assumed independent of the behaviour of other customers.
The aeroplane has 19 executive class seats and 48 standard class seats. If 19 or fewer customers who have booked executive class seats turn up they will all be allocated executive class seats. If all 20 customers who have booked executive class seats turn up, one will be allocated a standard class seat. this will leave 47 seats available for the 50 customers who have booked standard class seats.
calculate the probability that there will be standard class seats available for all those who turn up having booked standard class seats.

I have tried various different attempts to answer this but my answers are all over the place. I would be very grateful if someone could show me how to do this question as i just can't seem to get it right.
1 AnswerMathematics7 years agoCan anyone remember a TV program like this?
I remember one episode on about Christmas time in late 90's or early 2000's. I remember on of the characters going into a bookshop and finding a book. they then wish for a green monster which then appears and goes around the town terrorizing the people. The monster soon realizes he is lonely and leaves. we next see him on an ice rink and the song 'Marble Halls' is playing in the background. At the end, everyone comes together and buys him a red car.
I keep thinking it was called something like 'The Bookshop' or 'The Magic Book'.
Can anyone tell me what this was called as it is driving me crazy remembering it?
