82*1.6=131.2 km
120*1.6=192 km
.15kg*192km-.15kg*131.2km=9.12kg*km
9.12kg*km/.001sec=9120
If I convert it into kgm/s it becomes 9.12*10^6N. Hmm, still wrong... Argh!
82*1.6=131.2
120*1.6=192
.15*192-.15*131.2=9.12
9.12/.001=9120
That's the answer I got the first time, but the computer says that it is wrong. Did I do everything right?
A baseball player hits a 82 mph fastball, sending it back at 120 mph. The ball has a mass of 150 g. The contact time is 0.001 s. What is the average force on the bat?
Okay, so I converted the miles to kilometres, and then used the equation F_avg*(t_2-t_1) = m_1*v_2 - m_2*-v_2, but I can't get...
Nice idea, but try not to spread it out too thin. I have to say that minoring in English here is a pain, so I would recommend you just to take the courses you want to learn. Also, some philosophy courses would also help, like Philosophy of Langauge and Philosophy of Mathematics. Grad schools all...
A blue puck with a mass of 4.40*10^−2kg , sliding with a speed of 0.250m/s on a frictionless, horizontal air table, makes a perfectly elastic, head-on collision with a red puck with mass x, initially at rest. After the collision, the velocity of the blue puck is 5.00*10^−2m/s in the same...
Seriously, the only thing that matters is grad school, as most undergrad courses are somewhat the same. Just go to a school you like, study something you feel passionate about, get a good GPA, and apply to grad school.
I had a 3.0 in high school, and I am maintaining a 3.8 in college here. It...
Oh, no wonder. My advisor has a BA in physics.
The difference between BA and BS is that the BS requires me to take a chemistry course, a programming course, computational physics, and one semester of undergraduate research.
He embrasses you? There might be a solution to that problem then. File complaints, and see if you can argue to take that course as a Pass/Fail instead of credit.
Well, there is no pre-law major here, so I just did something I was interested in. I think that despite the difficulty I am experiencing in physics, I am still going to stick with it. But in terms of careers in physics, do employers want a BS more than BA?
Thanks for the replies.
Just wondering, when applying for a job, do employers want people with a BA or BS in physics? Because I am a physics and philosophy double major aiming for law school. But a BS in physics is way too much work, as I need a lot of different courses for pre-law. So please let me know.
Well, don't hate the professor. Remember that the average physics professor is about twice smarter than a normal person. I mean, they are smart, but most have trouble explaining things out to people who never had any background on physics. My teacher is the same way. He does not speak English...
An unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 40.0km (see Appendix F). To the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 30.0m/s.
If...
