    Help in C Programming: Fixing Errors with nr.h & nrutil.h Libraries

    What are the functions of the following C libraries? nr.h nrutil.h What I understood is that these are used when u are calling functions like 'qromb or polint or trapzd' for integration. Acutally when I compile the program I get these errors. nr.h: No such file or directory nrutil.h: No...

    Graduate Is conservation laws are more fundamental than Newton's second law?

    I think we can derive conservation laws from F=ma. 1) when total force is zero then momentum is conserved. or for a closed system(where no external force present) 2)if we interpret F.ds as energy we can show PE+KE=constant. only thing we need is proper interpretation of potential energy and...

    Conservation of energy derived from Newton's Laws?

    using F=ma we can easily show that \intF.ds=(1/2)mv2 Now d/dt{\intF.ds} = d/dt{(1/2)mv2} \Rightarrow d/dt{\intF.ds-(1/2)mv2}=0 \Rightarrow (1/2)mv2-\intF.ds=constant Use this to prove conservation of energy. In the case of a body moving under gravity the constant will be initial kinetic energy...

    Graduate Is conservation laws are more fundamental than Newton's second law?

    Is conservation laws are more fundamental than Newton's second law in Newtonian mechanics? I know from the point of view of Noether's theorem conservation laws are more fundamental. But all the conservation laws can be derived from the F= ma equation. And from these conservation laws I can't...

    Graduate Gravitational Lensing: Accretion Discs Around Black Holes

    Actually i want know about the lensing of light from accretion disc around a black hole(kerr and schwarschild). Is the lensing is strong for radie near minimum inner radius of accretion disc. I want know how the accretion disc will look like for a distant observer. Can somebody give me some...

    Graduate A question on velocity addition

    Thanks a lot. I thought relativity of simultaneity was incooperated in length contraction and time dilation.

    Graduate A question on velocity addition

    Consider frame S1 and another frame S2 moving with a velocity v with respect to S1 along +X direction. Consider a photon comes in -X direction. Velocity of photon in S1 is c.I would like to find the velocity of light in S2 from S1 without forgetting length contraction and time dilation as...
