I got accepted into both programs and I'm thinking about pursuing a career in aerospace engineering in the future. Right now I'm having trouble deciding between these 2 programs. I have done some research online myself and here is what I come up with right now

Hey guys,
I did some basic research on the transfer orbit to Mars.
It turns out that Hohmann Transfer Orbit is the most fuel efficient.
What I really want to know is that if there is any other type of transfer orbit proven valid that is the quickest.
Really appreciate your help!
Homework Statement
ok..so we know that Ek is by definition 1/2mv^2.
my question is that since Ek is simply defined to be that much..why does the 1/2 matter..
cant we simply write it as Ek = mv^2?

Thanks a lot guys.
But I still don't get what exactly is this normal force. I understand that it must exist and perpendicular to the surface otherwise the object will accelerate down when placed on a flat surface. But WHAT TYPE OF FORCE IS THE NORMAL FORCE..it can't just be there right...
Hi everyone.
I just started learning some basic Newtonian mechanics and several questions arose.
Hope you could help me with it. Thank you.
1. What exactly constitutes the "normal force".
It says that normal force is perpendicular to the surface where the object is placed but I...
