Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them.The typical notation used in a physics class is that, for example ##\vec{v}## is a vector and ##v## is the magnitude of that vector. So... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them.In other words, you don't subtract the magnitudes of the vectors, you subtract the vectors. This means you find the vector that you add...

Like.
Because one hole will not allow the free flow of water. You need on hole for water to come out and another hole for the air to go in... -
Herman Trivilino reacted to Gavran's post in the thread Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe with Like.
True. P2-P1=ρgh holds when v1=v2, and as you said in the original post, v1 can not be equal to v2, except in the case when v1=0 and v2=0.

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Problem about units conversion: cm^2 --> m^2.That can't be answered! The meter is a unit of length and the square centimeter is a unit of area. You can't convert an area to a...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I I don't see how a black hole's event horizon can be crossed.It was actually Wolfgang Pauli who is famously credited for saying "that is not even wrong". It's not clear if he said it as a reaction...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I Variation of the lightning train thought experiment.What you are calling the light beam is actually a flash of light. The light flash is so brief that its length is negligible compared to...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Schools How to Navigate Applying to HEPTH PhD Programs in Europe vs. the US?.That is pretty much the way it used to be at Rice, except that the M.S. had to be earned at Rice to be able to proceed to the Ph.D. program.

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Schools How to Navigate Applying to HEPTH PhD Programs in Europe vs. the US?.Some universities require it. Rice U for example. They use it to weed out unqualified Ph.D. candidates. You must get a M.S. degree from...

Herman Trivilino replied to the thread Schools How to Navigate Applying to HEPTH PhD Programs in Europe vs. the US?.What makes you think the M.S. in physics with a 4.0 isn't that helpful? It may not "count" in the sense that you will have to repeat it...
