1 The electron velocity at the point z may be worked out by the simple consideration that the electron gains kinetic energy at the expense of its potential energy ( the same idea as in mechanics ) .
2 The polymer is introduced into the dilatometer between the point A and the capillary .
3 Several details have been omitted and I shall say nothing about the way Venus and the Sun move around their orbits , except that the point O on Venus 's orbit always lies between the Earth ( E ) and the Sun ( S ) , that V moves around O , and O and S move around the Earth .
4 A curtate cycloid is generated when the point P is inside the generating circle ; OP is less than a .
5 A prolate cycloid is generated when the point P is outside the generating circle ; OP is more than a .
6 If , ( 1 ) the null convergence condition holds ; ( 2 ) at least one of the six quantities is non-zero at some point p in ( M , g ) ; and ( 3 ) through the point p there is a space-like partial Cauchy surface S , which is everywhere tangent to δ x and δ y , and S is non-compact in the space-like direction normal to δ x and δ y ; then ( M , g ) is null incomplete .
7 We shall assume ( Fig. 2.6 ) that the vectors drawn from any point charge to point P are all parallel to the vector r0 drawn from an arbitrarily chosen origin inside ( just another way of saying that the point P is far away ) .
8 The point P is called the saturation point , beyond which
9 Draw round like the point P .
10 The point P represents the gas at its critical temperature , pressure and volume .
11 The phasor potential difference across the capacitance C lags 90° behind the phasor potential difference VR across the resistance R , assuming negligible loading of the output taken between terminals P and O , while All of these aspects are maintained in the phasor diagram of figure 8.12(b) and its geometry is seen to be such that the point P moves over a circle , centre O , as the resistance R is varied .
12 With respect to the examples of Nyquist plots shown in figure 10.2 locus L passes through the point P = ( -1 , 0 ) and the corresponding circuit therefore oscillates at the frequency corresponding to this point .
13 If the Pitot tube points into the flow , the pressure Ps will occur at the point S and will be measured by a manometer connected to outlet 1 ( the manometer must , of course , block the tube , so that there is no flow through it ) .
14 The smallness of causes the point S to be referred to as a virtual earth .
15 The franchise fee will determine the point D , below which the retailer would make losses .
16 At the highest levels of constraint the pocket can eventually swallow up the point d , precluding the possibility of a higher quality solution .
17 In particular , the point G is the ‘ golden rule ’ steady state with , and slope equal to ( ) .
18 The point F is one of two foci possessed by the ellipse .
19 Some graphs of equations do not pass through the point x = 0 , y = 0 .
20 The slope is found from and the intercept from Once a and b are known then the value of y corresponding to every integer value x lying between xmin and xmax is calculated from the equation of the line and a dot is printed at the point x , y .
21 The point X marked on Fig. 6.2 ( at parameter values r 30.475 , b = 2.6123 ) lies at the centre of a logarithmic spiral of r- , b-values at which there are homoclinic orbits to the origin { 11 } .
22 Some idea of the complexity involved can be gained by considering that there is an infinite sequence of X-like points accumulating on the point X in Fig. 6.2 .
23 First , the changeover from the strange-attractor regime to the stable periodic orbit regime is associated with passing through the top of the spiral of homoclinic orbits in Fig. 6.2 ; the usual parameter value b = 8/3 lies just above the point X of Fig. 6.2 .
24 The point L represents the stress beyond which a brittle material will fracture , and the area under the curve to this point is proportional to the energy required for brittle fracture .
25 Marginal social cost and marginal social benefit would then be equated at the point E * ; .
26 Since DD and SS ' ; now show the behaviour of firms and workers at any gross wage , the new equilibrium will be at the point E ' ; .
27 The circuit corresponding to locus N exhibits real positive feedback at a frequency corresponding to the point R where and so oscillation can build up in amplitude in this circuit until some nonlinearity reduces the magnitude of below unity .
28 Now the probability of any one step being positive or negative is ½ , so that the probability of having , say , r positive steps and n — r negative ones is This is not the probability of arriving at the point m = r = ( n-r ) =2r-n , however , since the successive steps may be taken in different ways .
29 Locus M corresponds to a circuit that exhibits real positive feedback at a frequency represented by the point Q but , as the length of OQ is less than unity , oscillation can not occur .
30 The dreamed approximate solution I' is the point w I + w I + w I + w I
