I'll chime in on this one...
I was entering my junior year as a chemistry major when I realized I wanted to go into physics. Although chem is close, most need the physics in order to be able to do well and go on into a physics grad program, which is what I'm assuming you want to do...
Initially, mathwonk, I agreed with your statement. However, isn't it true that professors are NOT allowed to disclose your grades? If I went to Professor mathwonk and asked how bill did last semester/quarter, wouldn't you be obliged not to tell me their grade?
However, another professor who...
I tell ya, what gets under my skin are condescending people with poor spelling/grammar. If you are going to be ostentatious in your reply the onus is on you to at least do a spell check.
First off starchild, if no one's said it yet, welcome to college. I can sympathize with your exam...
I had a coworker who got her engineering degree at around 32. She's been working in industry for a few years, sharp kid, and she was just offered a 6 figure position. I'm not saying that's typical, but it is possible
I think there is some importance and benefit to students receiving a grade for a class. Why go to college (as opposed to high school which is for the most part mandatory) then? Why not just check out textbooks and self-study or sit in on lectures but don't take exams. It's because traditional...
Hi everyone,
I've currently graduated from a good school on the west coast with a double major in chemistry and physics. I'm taking a few years off to help out with the family then it's right back into the books (which I am keeping up with).
I'm going to graduate school for physics and...
Personally my tennis game helps me solve some of my math and physics problems that I can't get anywhere with. When I'm on the court and I'm getting blown off by a good opponent I can't start thinking about the score or how the match is going (the solution to the problem in question). What I have...
what if it said it started from rest? And would it be fair to say that the acceleration is NOT constant since it's asking for the acceleration at some earlier point in time? This question has baffled me a bit...
Yes, but doesn't each point on the wave maintain it's position in the positive x direction? It's only the y component of each point which changes. Anyone else have any idea?
Good info already stated. What i'll say is that perhaps it's better to view the result as 8*(T*sin(53)). Now look at the term in parenthesis...
T*sin(53). what would happen to the tension in the rope if the 53 degrees went to 0? Since the rope and the beam would then be the same length the...
Hey everyone,
Okay, so I'm just not sure how to solve this problem exactly and could use some kind advice.
A heavy ball is connected on the end of a light rope and undergoing rotation witha radius of X, let's say. At t= 19.3s a=10.2m/s^2. At t=7.4s what was the acceleration.
How does...
