1. ### What is tension in a string/rope/wire/etc?

Does T1 just = 98 N due to T2 cancelling the 147 N force exerted by the second mass or would you add the tension caused by the weight of the second mass to T1 making it 245 N?
2. ### Create a graph of the position of a damped oscillator as a function of time.

Nevermind! Figured it out.
3. ### Create a graph of the position of a damped oscillator as a function of time.

This is an assignment for a class titled "Intro to Scientific Programming" and it is a prerequisite for Computational Physics. Homework Statement Create a graph of the position of a damped oscillator as a function of time. Homework Equations The equation is x = A*e^((-b/2m)*t)cos(omega*t...
4. ### Feeling very discouraged

I just took my first Physics I(An honors intro mechanics course) test. I know I did very poorly, probably a low C or high D. The professor told us that it would be similar to a practice test that he gave us, but it wasn't, it was much more difficult. It was timed and I literally only finished a...
5. ### Programs As a brand new physics major, I have a question.

Thank you everyone for all your replies! I have just found out that the physics department at my uni has a consultation room that is staffed by a grad student during most of the day. I will definitely be utilizing this resource, as my professors office hours are pretty sparse and don't work very...
6. ### Programs As a brand new physics major, I have a question.

This is my first semester at uni so, I am also enrolled in my first physics class. It is an honors mechanics class. So far, there have been 2 problem sets of around 20 questions. The questions in the problem sets are orders of magnitude more difficult than anything covered in class. It comes to...
7. ### A question on math essentials

How about Shakespeare on Chinese history? Thanks for that link. I'll definitely work through some of that.

14. ### Integration in physics

I've just started integral calc and I'm just curious as to the application of integration in physics. Being a new physics major(started this summer), this is something I have not yet encountered. What is finding the area under a curve used for?
15. ### Question on Proofs

I'm currently in the middle of the Calc I-III string and I was wondering how much time I should dedicate to studying the proofs, if any time at all. I'm a physics major but I do plan on going on in math after I've taken all of the general curricula because I intend to pursue theory.
