    Graduate General equation for the speed of sound?

    oops sorry. Didn't understand your initial question. I just jumped to conclusions.

    Graduate General equation for the speed of sound?

    c = \sqrt{P/\rho} Where P = coefficient of "stiffness" and \rho = density

    Undergrad Finding the spring constant of a torsion spring.

    I'm sorry, could you clarify your question? But here are some stuff I know about torsion. Torque = -\kappa\theta Where Kappa is the torsional coefficient and theta the angle rotated. Period = 2\pi\sqrt{I/\kappa}

    15 Year old wishing to self-learn physics and calculus

    Hey Gravitational, Serway and Jewett's "Physics for scientists and engineers" is a great detailed book. However, you will need a strong calculus foundation. Of course, James Stewart's Calculus 6th edition is a good calculus book. I would suggesting getting a strong base in math before moving...

    Undergrad What enables light to go at such speeds?

    Hi, AbsoluteZer0. Not sure if I understand your question about light being of less mass than another mass. However, yes. If an object goes really fast, its mass will increase. But light will always be lighter than any particle [pun intended] because it is a wave (Provable by diffraction...

    Undergrad Question on the Gauss' Law's Qenc

    Thanks Born2bwire and Tiny-Tim for replying! My question was how do you determine Qenc and Bor2bwire, I believe, answered that.

    Undergrad What Does the Vector Diagram of a Turning Vehicle Look Like?

    Definitely. It will always form a triangle. However, if you are considering the trajectory, I the first is definitely a parabola and the second will probably look like some sort of parametric curve. At least I believe so.

    Undergrad Question on the Gauss' Law's Qenc

    I understand Gauss' Law is: Phi = integral(E)dA = Qenc/epsilon0 I never understood how you determine that Qenc. I know it varies from shape to shape. Can someone help me?
