I guess there's no good answer to that currently. However, the department chair is quite concerned for his job. The upside would be that there are some quite accomplished physics professors at KSU, as well as some decent science tracks for chem/biochem. And because KSU already has some thesis...
So we (students) were informed recently of a merging of two schools in north Georgia, SPSU and KSU. SPSU is a science/tech/engineering school, while KSU is... not so much. Everyone is panicking thinking that a STEM degree from what is normally known as a liberal arts college would look bad. Is...
Upon applying the method of finding escape velocity to the E-field, I end up with:
\sqrt{\frac{2kQq}{rm}}
What I don't understand, conceptually, is why escape velocity decreases as mass increases, in the electric field. What property is actually taking place here?
So if I understand this right, an overdamped circuit would discharge it's capacitor, and then settle down to have no current, as opposed to the capacitor and inductor working to keep a steady current? And all of this would be caused by a high amount of resistance (literal resistance, from a...
This is more of a conceptual question.Would overdampening in a circuit (from a resistor) be analogous to stretching a spring past critical distances in a mass-spring system? Or perhaps swinging a pendulum from excessively large angles?
Three objects (A, B, and C) are brought close to each other one at a time. A and B attract, but B and C repel. Simple true/false question involving "is this one positive/negative/etc." What I'm unsure about is whether or not A could possibly be neutral, or more specifically, is there any way to...
I was absent to a calculus III lecture last monday. I didn't miss much, and have gone over what I did. I understand the work and know how to do the problems, the only thing I'm having trouble with is actually picturing what an osculating plane is. I just need a simple explanation of what it...
