    How Do You Solve the Second Derivative of a Potential Function in Physics?

    i forgot how you do a differential equation, i have the solutions. I want to know how you do the dΨ/dx i thought it would just be dΨ/dx= -A/ke-kx Its been a long summer lol

    How Do You Solve the Second Derivative of a Potential Function in Physics?

    Homework Statement Well this is a physics problem, need find the potential function Homework Equations \Psi =Axe-kx A and k are constants I need to find d2 \Psi/dx2 The Attempt at a Solution I thought u would just take the derivative two times but just d\Psi/dx = Ae-kx-kAxe-kx...

    How to find distance of star using inverse square law

    Homework Statement So i need to calculate the distance of some star the luminosity is 2 Lo and on Earth its seen as .1 Lo Homework Equations I=L/4piR2 F=L/4piR2 The Attempt at a Solution I found two formulas, but not sure what to use. The F is flux density, and I am not sure how I...

    How to show that the universe is static( not expanding)

    i know its expanding lol just think of this as different universe that's static. We have a project and one part of it is to create like a homework problem. it has to be on dark energy, so i figured my problem would be using that formula and showing the universe is static, like what Einstein thought

    How to show that the universe is static( not expanding)

    Homework Statement how can i show the universe is static and not expanding, how it really is. Homework Equations \OmegaM=... \Omega\Lambda=... The Attempt at a Solution "The expansion history of the universe depends on the amount of matter (gravity), quantified by \OmegaM...

    I got a question about dark energy

    Hey I have a project about dark energy. Part of it is that I need to make some kind of homework problem with this topic. The article talked about using 1a supernova data to see the expansion of the universe. I was I would first calculate the luminosity or whatever they did. Than using that...
