You are hiking from point A to point B. Suppose you leave point A at 9 AM on Monday and after an arduous trek where you walk at your own pace and take as many breaks as you want, you arrive at B by sundown. You spend the night at B and on the next morning (Tuesday) you leave at 9 AM to head back to A. On your trip back, you also walk at your own pace and take as many breaks as you want and you arrive back at A by sundown. Importantly, the path you take to go from A to B is the same as the path you take to go from B to A. Show that there is a point C in this path where you were present both on Monday and Tuesday at the same time of the day. For example, if you walked from A to B on Monday at a constant speed v (without stopping) and arrived at B at 3 PM (on Monday) and you took the same path back on Tuesday walking at the same constant speed v (also without stopping), then on both Monday and Tuesday you would have been at the mid point of the journey at exactly 12 PM. Required:
Your task is to show that such a point exists no matter how you hiked from A to B and back from B to A as long as you took the same paths and left at the same time of the day on both days (9 AM in this example)

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. first, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. by monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 2.70 miss . you then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. what is the crossover frequency fc?
