Now I know that in the general Schwarzschild metric, there is energy and angular momentum conservation, but what I'm wondering is if there is any linear momentum conservation. Let's say a particle collides with a black hole. Does the energy of that particle go solely to the rest mass and...
Homework Statement
A 0.25μF capacitor is charged to 50V. It is then connected in series with a 25Ω resistor and a 100Ω resistor and allowed to discharge completely. What is the energy dissipated by the 25Ω resistor in Joules?
Homework Equations
I'm assuming I need:
P=V^2/R
I(t)=I0*e^-(t/τ)...
You do not need to even worry about the velocity that the ball has when it hits the ground. The only information that you need to consider is that E_initial=(11/10)E_final. So think of what the energy is due to when the ball is "momentarily at rest" and you should have your answer.
I am currently a sophomore majoring in physics in college. I also plan to major in math because I am very interested in theoretical physics. The math adviser that I spoke to could not give me much information on what math subjects are important for a career path in theoretical physics, so if...
