    Improving Test Performance: The Impact of Medication on Test Anxiety

    Although I agree with your statement, a doctor will not be able to describe the experience and results of taking such sort of medication. I am not looking for a prescription or advice, just whether or not someone has noticed improvement in their test scores after taking anxiety pills. I am sure...

    Improving Test Performance: The Impact of Medication on Test Anxiety

    Hello, has anyone here had anxiety issues when taking tests before and noticed a difference in performance after taking medication? I have pretty bad anxiety before my exams, and find myself making very little mistakes that still show I understand the material. For example, when asked to...

    Simple Harmonic Motion with Damping and Driving

    I do know how to solve the basic differential equations. However, I do not know how to get to the motion graphs. Can you please explain?

    Simple Harmonic Motion with Damping and Driving

    Hello, I was asked by my professor today to graph the motion, as well as the energies, of a spring that undergoes driven and/or damped oscillation; however, I was unable to because I do not have a very good idea of how they work. Can someone explain to me, qualitatively, what it means to have a...

    Torque, Angular Momentum, and Conservation of Mass Problems

    Wow, if there is a god, he must be good for allowing me to live long enough to meet you. Your help is very much appreciated my good man.

    Torque, Angular Momentum, and Conservation of Mass Problems

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, those links provided only little help. I have yet to find a book or resource that explains torque, angular momentum, or conservation of momentum (just noticed it is wrong in the title). They all just state the equations and define what they mean. Any book...

    Torque, Angular Momentum, and Conservation of Mass Problems

    Homework Statement I am studying the topics listed above and have been having great difficulty getting my problems going. To explain, I am having difficulty seeing where the problem should go and attacking in that direction. I can draw out free-body diagrams but I can't see how to solve the...

    Boost Your Career with Top Programming Courses for New Master's Students

    I use Python for my physics class. It isn't too bad and slightly easy to pick up. In terms of classes, you should just teach yourself depending on how high level of programming you are looking for. If it's high, then take the classes.

    Force of Gravitation, Determining dM

    Sorry, just got it. What do you suggest then?

    Force of Gravitation, Determining dM

    It is with respect to the rod

    Force of Gravitation, Determining dM

    Considering what you said, do you mind determining if my analysis of this problem is correct? A thin rod of length 2a has uniform density. The rod is centered at the origin along the x axis. Write an integral expression for the x and y components of the gravitational field at the point (x, y...

    Force of Gravitation, Determining dM

    Homework Statement After doing some general solution problems for the force of gravitation on various objects (rods, thin rings, semi-circles, etc), I have noticed that dM varies drastically. For instance on a rod, dM=(M/L)dr while for a semi-circle its (M/2*pi*r)*Rd(theta). I was not able to...

    How can I improve my skills in finding general solutions in physics?

    @PeroK your advice seems really helpful. Thanks a lot. I hope to update this thread later tonight after I finish my physics problems.

    How can I improve my skills in finding general solutions in physics?

    To be honest, I command of those problems is not where I would like it to be only because I did not take a respectable physics class in high school and jumped into honors in college. My weakness in general solution problems is in springs, circular motion, tension, and pendulum motion. I like...

    How can I improve my skills in finding general solutions in physics?

    I guess I should have explained that before. Here is an example: An object in the shape of a thin ring has radius Z and mass M. A uniform sphere with mass M1 and radius R is placed with its center at a distance x to the left of the center of the ring, along a line through the center of the ring...
