Homework Statement Use an array for single digit values of x [1,10] to find values of y for the equation y = (e^3x) / (sqrt (x+1)). Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution So, I tried defining the function as Function [ (e^3x) / (sqrt (x+1))] = y(x) , but...

I'm a freshman currently, and I just blatantly overestimated the difficulty of this class, and I didn't really treat it seriously. The teacher put intentionally tricky questions on the exams and I ended up failing them, and I'm feeling pretty bad about the whole situation. I intend to go into...

Ahh yes ok, didn't catch that. Thanks!

Homework Statement The problem is as follows. A certain pulsar (a rapidly rotating neutron star) has a period of rotation of 0.033s, and this is observed to be increased at a rate of 1.26(10^(-5)) seconds per year. what is the value of the angular acceleration in rad/s^2? Homework...

If Tesla counts as a "scientist", then Tesla. With Galileo a close 2nd.

Yes, I agree that this is true, but I'm trying to discern if there is a correlated level of interest in the matter with how well one does. It seems, and I really don't wish to stereotype but it is convenient for our purposes, that anyone who has achieved any marginal success in physics has, from...

Well, the thing is, I actually feel guilty for having other interests, while my counterparts seem to be focused exclusively on the subject matter. If I was truly fated to do something in physics, then would I not share this seemingly persistent "obsession" that some of my classmates do, instead...

Do I need to be "obsessed" with physics in order to do well in it? Hey all. I'm currently a college undergrad, a freshman, and I'm taking Calc 3, chem 2, and physics 1 with calc. The physics course is an accelerated course that includes some parts of special relativity. In high school, I was...
