    I Why no higher derivative in physics?

    Thank you for your reply. I knew these quantities but I'm speaking about equations. Why EDP are always in term of second derivatives ? (diffusive - convective - wave equations) Even in General Relativity, Riemann curvative tensor is "the derivative" of the Christoffel symbols which is "the...

    I Why no higher derivative in physics?

    Dear all, I'm asking why there is no higher derivative than two in physics ? I never encountered a third (time or space) derivative in physics. Have you some litterature about this? Thank you. Regards.

    Tungsten Permittivity: Properties & Values

    Good evening, So... I am looking for the Tungsten permettivity and i don't find this feature... I have searched on Wikipedia, some material data but i don't find... Do you know what is the Tungsten permettivity? Thanks.

    Simulating 1D Thermal Conduction with Vacuum in Comsol 4.4

    Hi, I'm doing a 1D thermal conduction simulation on Comsol Multiphysics 4.4 and my first component is vacuum. I did'nt found the vacuum in the material list. Should I create a new component with a null thermal conductivity ? Thanks

    Role of mass in this problem on electrostatics

    Hi, Why not? To find the electrostatic force, i think (and I'm sure), the mass is'nt necessary. But maybe for the time of oscillation no? I don't know. So... You should to read Richard Feynman's books.

    Trouble with the integral Help

    You can notice x^3 - 1 is of the form "a^3-b^3". You can factorize ;) ! And you can factorize: 4x^3 + x. It is a partial fraction. Good luck ;) !

    What is the Velocity of a Satellite Orbiting Earth at a Distance R?

    Hi. Use this relation: F = G*m*M/d² Here: - m is the mass of satellite. - M is the mass of the Earth. - d is the distance between the center of the Earth and the Satellite. - G is the gravitationnal constant. Warning for the distance ;) ! Good Luck.

    What are the unknowns in this nuclear reaction sequence?

    Hi ! I agree with Y must be a e^(+) (positron). Because with Soddy's Law you have: For protons: 9 = 8 + Y + 0 <=> Y = 1 And for nucleons you have: 17 = 17 + Y + 0 <=> Y = 0 It's a positron ! Try to use my method. Good luck ! :D

    So, you can't simplify.Ciao.

    Hi, I'm okay with your result. I don't think that you can simplify. If you look for the variation's function, it's not necessary ! (e^(-x))/(1+e^-x)^2 Because: e^(-x) > 0 and (1+e^-x)^2 > 0

    French Student Asks About High School Programs in USA

    For exemple, in my classe we have in Physics: - Mechanical Wave - Radioactivity and Nuclear Energy - Mechanical of Newton and harmonic oscillator - Electricity (RC, RL, RLC) - A little Physic Quantic (very little...)

    Learning Functions: Help Me Get Started!

    Oh ! Game Over xD ! g o h = g ( h(x) ) g ( h(x) ) = 1/h(x) = 1/x² Do you understand?

    But he writes: fg and not f o g. And he has just start to learn functions.

    French Student Asks About High School Programs in USA

    Hi everybody ! I'm French and I have any questions. - What is the program of physics at the high school? (In USA) - What is the program of mathematics at the high school? (In USA) I'm new on PF and I'm very interesting by Physics. I go to a english's forum because I want to learn to speak...

    I think here it's: fg = f(x) * g(x)
