If its hitting entry-level and mid-level jobs , what ISN'T getting hit hard? As long as the United States government has a vested interest in sticking its nose in other countries affairs, there will always be demand for scientists and technicians in the defense industry, or what Eisenhower...

can you include a picture?

**Considering the rocket when it reaches the height of 525m. Because upward acceleration is constant: Vyf = Vyi + Ayt **However to find Vyf you need to know the time it takes to reach 525m. Yf = Yi + Vyi + 1/2Ayt2 [2(Yf)/Ay]1/2=t Vyf = Ayt Vyf= 48m/s **now to find the addition...

** r = radius r = RE + h = (6.4*10^6m + 300,000m) = 6.7x10^6 **C = Circumference C=2(PI)r T=period T=C/v **for circular motion there are 2 components of acceleration, radial acceleration and tangential acceleration. the radial (centripetal acceleration) is shown: Ar=(mv2)/r...

You don't need to use the quadratic equation. I offer a more pictorial method for this problem. There are two important times during the parabola trajectory, tA and tB. tA is when the object is at the peak of the parabola. tB is when the object lands. tB = 2tA **since acceleration...

What distance has the object traversed? Is this horizontal or vertical translation? The question does not seem complete. I started working on this but you would need to know how far the object has traveled to find the acceleration unless the object has undergone vertical free fall where you can...

Ok the only way you will learn to balance equations is to practice by doing problems. There is no silver bullet, there is no algorithm, you just have to practice over and over. If you can't balance equations, you won't get far in chemistry (I think you are aware of this). Look in your general...

Its probably safe to assume ideal behavior unless otherwise indicated.

look up this material referred to as tamahagane, its raw material used to making katanas

Monoatomic species such as O or N are not stable and require filling their valence shells to achieve noble gas configuration. They fill these outer energy levels by forming bonds with elements that can afford to give up or share electrons. Its the same reason why you encounter sodium as a...

So what you are suggesting is that when you mix equivalent volumes of CH3OH and H20 you do not get 100mL of solution in your vessel? My thinking is that the -OH group on the methyl group is a electron withdrawing functional group and will shift the electron density toward the -OH region of the...

There is no one size fits all approach. You just need to do many problems to gain experience. Sometimes a bit of trial and error is involved. Try this out. Butane undergoes complete combustion to yield carbon dioxide and water: C4H10 + O2 => H20 + CO2 Can you balance this?

Hi Bobby. I'm new to the forums so I hope this response is Kosher. Ok so you have been given a speed for the orbiting satellite, let's call it Vsat. Ask your self the following two questions: 1. Is Vsat a constant value? (does the speed ever change?) 2. Is the path of the orbit circular in...

Farday is an inspiring figure!

Look, people don't just wake up and say "You know what?--I am going to derive an equation that shows that no heat engine has an efficiency that reaches unity!". Sadi Carnot derived such an equation in the early 1800s, but its not because he decided to do it on a whim. He just went about his...
