Well, I thought I read that a typical M-16 round can travel at about 920 m/s; that was what I originally had in mind. I mentioned 6 km/s because if you can move that a significant amount, you can easily deal with the other.
At the very least, the idea would be decent science fiction fodder. :)
I was thinking that the separation between the pulses could be used to give a frequency. It's true that a single pulse could be used to detect doppler shift, but do you think that a projectile would be significantly blue shifted to easily detect? I wasn't sure, that's why I thought a pulsed...
Thanks for responding to me!
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The frequency I was referring to was not the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation, I was assuming that frequency would be fixed; something in the radio band. If one is releasing multiple waveforms in succession and counting the rate...
A Big Problem:
(a) sub-problem 1:
Assuming that a radio transmitter emits a radial pulse 'K' times a second, what would that frequency need to be in order to detect the doppler shift of an object traveling a 6000 m/s?
(b) sub-problem 2:
If one had a cathode ray source which was outputting an...
Physicists tend to learn as much computer programming as the physicists care to. Many of them are self-taught on some level. Self-teaching a subject seems to have a randomizing effect on the precise skills one develops. If, for instance, the physicist found that they were really interested in...
It's probably not anything that you need to worry about. If it produced the library and the executable that you need, then it's fine.
Taken from a website describing the 'gcc make' Error codes:

I have taken several classes related to CFD. Although I come from a physics background the classes have been/are from the Mechanical Engineering department.
Note: These are questions you ask yourself, don't answer them for me:
1) Can you solve the heat equation?
a) Can you do...
Isn't this a bit dangerous, though? Most people go to a University to gain an education. At the moment, an undergraduate education is a truly expensive investment. Wouldn't treating academia like a business make it more damaging to a student's bottom line? Let's imagine that by some chance...
As I understand things, a "growth investor" is someone who invests in a brand new, untested company and hopes to get a high return on their investment.
Pros: High Payoff "Principle Investment can double?/triple?/exponentiate? if the company succeeds."
Cons: High Risk "All money invested in...
Also understand that lisab and JakeBrodskyPE likely have an order of magnitude or two greater experience than I do. Their thoughts and opinions regarding how the real world works are more realistic from my own. :)
Experience will make you a better Electrical Engineer, but having a Masters will give the company you work for one more excuse to not lay you off, I would imagine. This thread needs more input than mine...
