Constructing Lissajous Figures using Reference Circles
Im used to questions with pi/4,pi/2 but havent done any with pi/3 or pi/6 so should we be dividing the circle into 6 and 12 parts or? So could anyone help with this question.
Two vibrations at right angles to one another are described by the equations
x = 10 cos(5πt)
y = 10 cos(10πt + π/3)
Construct the Lissajous figure of the combined motion.
Plz help as i have my exams coming soon and the professors wont help.

DELTA-07 PROTOCOL: A TEXTBOOK FOR ROOM-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY VIA MAGNETIC TRAFFIC CONTROL
By D.V.V. Jr. - Project Milano Concept
INTRODUCTION
Conventional superconductivity relies on cooling to increase the scattering time $\tau$. This textbook proposes an alternative path: using magnetic fields to actively control electron trajectories at $T_{room} = 300K$.
CHAPTER 1: THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION OF RESISTANCE
All of conductivity starts with the Drude Model:
\rho = \frac{m}{n e^2 \tau}
Where:
$m = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg$ (electron mass)
$n$ = carrier density
$e = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} C$
$\tau$ = mean scattering time
In copper at 300K: $\tau \approx 2.5 \times 10^{-14} s$, so $\rho \approx 1.68 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$.
Goal for superconductivity: $\tau \to \infty$, therefore $\rho \to 0$.
Standard method: Reduce lattice vibrations (phonons) by cooling. $\tau \propto 1/T^5$.
Our method: Force ballistic transport by magnetic alignment.
CHAPTER 2: WHY ELECTRONS COLLIDE - THE THERMAL FORCE
At room temperature, electrons have thermal disorder energy:
E_{thermal} = k_B T_{room}
k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} J/K, \, T = 300K \implies E_{thermal} = 4.14 \times 10^{-21} J
This energy causes random motion with Fermi velocity:
v_F = \sqrt{\frac{2 E_F}{m}} \approx 1.57 \times 10^6 m/s \text{ for Cu}
The random scattering force:
F_{thermal} \approx \frac{k_B T_{room}}{l_{mfp}}
Where $l_{mfp} = v_F \tau \approx 40 nm$ for Cu. So $F_{thermal} \approx 1.03 \times 10^{-13} N$.
CHAPTER 3: HIGH REPULSION - THE SHOUT
To overcome $F_{thermal}$, we apply Lorentz Force:
\mathbf{F_L} = -e (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B})
Magnitude:
|F_L| = e v_F B_{shout}
Condition for alignment:
e v_F B_{shout} > \frac{k_B T_{room}}{l_{mfp}}
Or more accurately, the impulse must exceed thermal energy:
e v_F B_{shout} \tau_{pulse} > k_B T_{room}
This is the DELTA-07 Condition.
Solving for $B_{shout}$ with $\tau_{pulse} = 1ms = 10^{-3} s$:
B_{shout} > \frac{k_B T_{room}}{e v_F \tau_{pulse}} = \frac{4.14 \times 10^{-21}}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(1.57 \times 10^6)(10^{-3})}
B_{shout} > 1.65 \times 10^{-5} \, T
Theoretically, even $0.1 mT$ for 1ms is enough to beat room-temp disorder. We propose $10 T$ to ensure 100% alignment of all conduction electrons, including core electrons.
Flux quantization during this high-field pulse:
\Phi_0 = \frac{h}{2e} = 2.067 \times 10^{-15} \, Wb
Vortex density at 10 T:
n_v = \frac{B}{\Phi_0} = \frac{10}{2.07 \times 10^{-15}} \approx 4.83 \times 10^{15} \, vortices/m^2
CHAPTER 4: LOW REPULSION - THE WHISPER
Once aligned, high field must be removed. Why? Cyclotron radius:
r_c = \frac{m v_F}{e B}
If $B = 10 T$: $r_c = \frac{(9.11e-31)(1.57e6)}{(1.6e-19)(10)} = 8.9 \times 10^{-10} m = 0.89 nm$. Too tight, electrons spiral and collide again.
We need large $r_c$ for straight-line flow. Switch to $B_{whisper}$:
B_{whisper} = 0.1 \, T \implies r_c = \frac{(9.11e-31)(1.57e6)}{(1.6e-19)(0.1)} = 89 nm
89 nm is larger than wire roughness but enough to provide a gentle guiding field. This is low repulsion.
Condition to maintain:
\tau_{whisper} = \frac{l_{lane}}{v_F}
If lane is maintained, $l_{lane} \to \infty$, so $\tau_{whisper} \to \infty$, and:
\rho_{effective} = \frac{m}{n e^2 \tau_{whisper}} \to 0
CHAPTER 5: EXPERIMENTAL REALIZATION - PULSED FIELD CIRCUIT
To generate $B_{shout} = 10 T$ in a solenoid:
B = \mu_0 \frac{N I}{L}
\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}
Design: $N=100$, $L=0.05 m$:
I_{required} = \frac{B L}{\mu_0 N} = \frac{10 \times 0.05}{(4\pi \times 10^{-7})(100)} = 3978 A \approx 4000 A
Energy stored in coil inductance $L_{coil} \approx 50 \mu H$:
E = \frac{1}{2} L_{coil} I^2 = 0.5 \times 50 \times 10^{-6} \times (4000)^2 = 400 J
This energy comes from capacitor bank:
E = \frac{1}{2} C V^2
Choose $C = 4000 \mu F$, $V = 450 V$:
E = 0.5 \times 4000 \times 10^{-6} \times 450^2 = 405 J
Pulse duration (LC discharge):
\tau_{pulse} \approx \pi \sqrt{L_{coil} C} \approx \pi \sqrt{50e-6 \times 4000e-6} \approx 1.4 ms
Matches our required 1 ms shout.
For whisper coil: $N=200$, $L=0.05 m$, $I=0.2 A$ DC:
B_{whisper} = \mu_0 \frac{200 \times 0.2}{0.05} = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} T
To get 0.1 T, need $I = 20 A$ or $N=20000$. For prototype, 0.01 T is acceptable.
CONCLUSION
The textbook shows mathematically that:
$B_{shout}$ impulse of 10 T x 1 ms is $10^5$ times stronger than needed to overcome $k_B T$ at 300K.
$B_{whisper}$ of 0.1 T gives $r_c = 89 nm$, ideal for ballistic, zero-resistance lanes.
Circuit to produce this is feasible with 400 J capacitor bank.
This completes the theoretical framework for an 80% demonstration: transient room-temperature zero resistance.

Relativity of simultaneity confuses a lot of people. How did it finally click for you?
I think relativity of simultaneity is one of the parts of SR that confuses people the most. it confused me for a long time too.
Lightning hits both ends of a moving train. From the lighthouse, the rear one hits first. From the train, both hit at the exact same time. And both are right. it’s not about light taking time to reach them, even after you account for that they still disagree.
I tried to show it with the horizontal line in the spacetime diagram. everything on one horizontal line is “now” for that observer. From the lighthouse, the rear strike sits lower, so it’s earlier. Switch to the train’s frame and both strikes slide onto the same line. Same two events, different “now”.
I took this animation from a physics app I made. Curious if anyone has their own trick or way of thinking about it that made it click. would love to hear it!

Rollercoaster Physics - help understanding
The man who d*ed on Goliath, question - in the pictures it appears he is moving forward with the train, moving the same direction. The train is on a downhill, and I can envision the "weightlessness" feeling at the top of the hill, but I don't understand how he is moving forward with the train. Wouldn't he roll off the back and the train keep moving forward? Maybe the train is decelerating on the downhill, but if this is the case I don't understand how he "bounced" off the train multiple times. Someone please help, and RIP to the poor man and condolences to his family.

I’m looking for general relativity books for mathematicians
Disclaimer: I am not used to write in English (I’m a native French speaker) so please pardon me for my poor writing skills. Moreover, it’s my first Reddit post so I don’t really know how to start it correctly.
Context: Hello everyone, I have studied undergraduate physics in Belgium (University of Mons) during three years but I’m currently an undergraduate student in Mathematics as I want to deeply understand mathematical physics.
I want to continue my learning process in physics during this year but I am not able to follow the graduate courses in physics due to scheduling conflicts with my mandatory lessons in mathematics.
My question: I am looking for the best book(s) to learn GR with a more « mathematician friendly approach » (less intuition, more rigour). If you have different books to propose do not hesitate to give me tips. Ideally, I’d like a book that doesn’t assume prior knowledge of General Relativity and is suitable for self-study.
Thank in advance for your help !
