    A small, easy algebraic question about the First Law of Thermo for SISO

    Dude, that makes total sense. It simultaneously explains where the "change in" signs on enthalpy and kinetic and potential came from. Thanks a ton.

    A small, easy algebraic question about the First Law of Thermo for SISO

    O_o. I know this is a really stupid question, but how the heck did the Q - W get to the other side of the equation? Shouldn't it be W - Q? I'm going to feel really stupid when I hear the answer, I'm sure, and I'm already done with the class so it's ultimately irrelevant, but I'd love to know.

    [ODEs] Exact Equations and Substitution

    Thanks, I'd appreciate that - and thank you again for the help so far.

    [ODEs] Exact Equations and Substitution

    Yeah, I hate them too. It's convenient when I want to miss class and still do the homework, I guess, and at least this one doesn't penalize for multiple tries, but I usually spend more time figuring out the right syntax than I do solving the problem. The input calls for the integrating factor -...

    [ODEs] Exact Equations and Substitution

    Okay, I'm going insane. I have these problems completely worked out and have stared at them for centuries but the online homework is still telling me they're wrong. Could anyone here take a look and let me know? I'd appreciate it a ton. [SIZE="4"]Problem 1: Exact Equation Homework...

    Force on a Rectangular Current Loop [Magnetism]

    Homework Statement A force acts on a rectangular loop of wire, pulling it out of a magnetic field. Calculate the force required to pull the loop to the right at a constant speed of 4.42 m/s. B = 0.44 T l = 0.350 m v = 4.42 m/s R = 0.356 ohms Homework Equations Fmagnetic=I*l*B...

    Why is my physics education at Texas Tech University lacking in actual physics?

    Sorry, I didn't really expect anyone to go through and check what the course was called - everyone here just calls it "Physics II". It's Physics 2401.

    Why is my physics education at Texas Tech University lacking in actual physics?

    Do I? I really don't mean to come across as someone with an attitude, but the problems I'm having are real ones and not somehow a fabrication of my enormous ego, and I think everyone has had a moment in their life when they wanted to just vent and let everything out. Nothing wrong with that, nor...

    Why is my physics education at Texas Tech University lacking in actual physics?

    I'm going to Texas Tech University (if anyone else is thinking about it, do not go to this school) I'm currently enrolled in Physics II and Calculus III. I'm making A's (well, at least close to that) in both. Here's my problem: The amount of actual 'calculus' that we use in the course is...
