It also sounds like physics is still a good place to be in order to achieve my goals.

Thanks all for the responses. As for why I would pivot from software to electronics, I think both fields are extremely interesting. You can design a software product to provide a service to millions of people. In electronics, you can convert abstract concepts into applied physical mechanisms...

Ok guys here's the deal, I was accepted to UC Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, waitlisted at UCLA for Physics as a transfer A little background: I know a moderate deal of programming, have taken Assembly Language, OOP, Data and Discrete Structures. What I want to accomplish: Create a successful...

V2y0/2g How did you find that

In my relevant solutions it is velocity/acceleration, the way I put it was just in leibniz notation in terms of s(t)

Homework Statement 1. How did they complete the square for these equations in the picture below? What was their thought process? 2. distance/velocity = time , velocity/acceleration = time , In leibniz notation how does this cancel out? When you divide, how does it cancel out to give you a...

I agree with your statement a) which is why I believed you must put kq/ |r| because the r represents the magnitude, there isn't a negative r direction which would cause the original kq/r equation to not work in 3d space... I think you are right I am still trying to figure out the relationship...

The graph of kq/r in the x-y plane lies in the 1st and 3rd quadrant. By making the equation |kq/r| It restricts the equation to the first and second quadrant. this is the equation 1/r, by making it |1/r| it would restrict the graph to y>0 or voltage > 0 because it is a positive point charge...

Good explanation. I most likely didn't completely understand all of it, but I got the main jist of 4a and above... the ball rolling towards the edge of the cliff makes sense but in this case it does not apply correct? Because if a positive q+ charge approaches the stationary +q charge, it is...

Homework Statement ≈ What is a 3D representation of voltage using Kq/r assuming a positive point charge and what is the equation in cartesian and cylindrical form2. Relavent equations Kq/r 3. Attempt at solution[/B] I was trying to get a better understanding of Voltage, to really FEEL...
