    Is it possible to work fulltime and study full time mechanical engineering

    It depends on how well you can handle stress. I'm a 3rd year EE student and I had an internship last semester where i worked 20 hours/week and took full time course load and it was definitely a pain. I was extremely burned out by the end of the semester and would not want to go through that...

    How to Choose the Right Diode Model for Your Project?

    I am just beginning to learn about diodes and I was wondering if there are any tips to making the correct guess for the diode model. For our class, we use a model that consists of four regions instead of the simple on/off model. basically to figure out what the diode is doing, we insert the...

    Nodal analysis (Node-voltage method) for op-amps?

    Thanks all for your replies, Yes, since we're just starting to learn op-amps, we're treating them as ideal, so i+=0 and i-=0, and when there's negative feedback v+=v-. I guess I should have said that in the beginning =) That last link the electrician posted is exactly the type of site I am...

    Nodal analysis (Node-voltage method) for op-amps?

    Thanks for the reply. Actually, I wanted to work through the problem by directly using the op-amp and not replacing it with an amplifier model. That's what i meant by "solve these circuit without replacing the op amp with its equivalent ideal amplifier"

    Nodal analysis (Node-voltage method) for op-amps?

    Hi, I am just beginning to learn about op amps and I was wondering if there was a way to use the node voltage method (nodal analysis to some) to solve these circuit without replacing the op amp with its equivalent ideal amplifier. To me, it is much faster to use node voltage method than going...

    Mastering KVL and KCL: Tips and Tricks for Solving Circuit Problems

    Sometimes solving a circuit by KVL and KCL can be a little difficult. What tips/tricks have you gained from solving such circuits? i know that little tricks won't be as helpful as actually practicing, but they will help nonetheless. for example today i discovered it is not a very good idea to...

    How many arbitrary currents are needed to solve for the currents in a circuit?

    Homework Statement I just had a general question for solving for an unknown current(s) in single or multi-loops circuits. How exactly do we know how many arbitrary currents we need to define for solving the for the currents in the circuit? do we define a current for each loop that is...

    Studying Physics Study Struggles: Anyone Else Struggling?

    thanks all for your input. maze, i agree with you there, after looking at the solution i always think duh...thats so obvious,why didn't i think of that. I also agree Vanadium because i guess if i truly understand the material, I'd know exactly what angle to attack the problem from. i...

    Studying Physics Study Struggles: Anyone Else Struggling?

    i don't know what's wrong with me, but i almost always completely understand a problem once i see its solution, but without the solution, i don't get very far with it. has anybody else had this problem? if so, what do you recommend?

    Calculating Volume and Mass for Molarity Problems

    ah ok first mistake was a dumb one 1783.04*74=131944.96 g Ca(OH)2 then for the second part, 131944.96 g is 131.944 kg from the equation, 1 Ca(OH)2 : 2 HCl (...i guess i also could have done this part earlier when i had mols HCl) 132/2 = 66kg thanks for your help!

    Calculating Volume and Mass for Molarity Problems

    hmm, I'm not too sure what the acid dissociation constants are (as in: we haven't studied that yet(?)) but something i noticed between what i came up with and the answer is is that 66/24 = 2.75. hopefully that's significant...not sure where that comes from though

    Calculating Volume and Mass for Molarity Problems

    for the first one: 45*1=.33*x x=136.4mL ahh! i see now, subtract 45 from it for the second one M = moles/volume moles = 2.24*796=1783.04mol mols*(g/mol) = g = 1783.04/74 = 24g dont get the right answer..not sure what i did wrong there

    Calculating Volume and Mass for Molarity Problems

    Homework Statement What volume of water must be added to 45.0 mL of a 1.0 M solution of H2SO4 in order to create a 0.33 M H2SO4 solution? answer:91.4 mL vat contains 2.24 M hydrochloric acid solution. How many kg of Ca(OH)2 will be required to react completely (neutralize) 796 L of the...

    How Does Jet Stream Speed Affect Airplane Ground Speed?

    Homework Statement Long flights at midlatitudes in the Northern Hemisphere encounter the jet stream, an eastward airflow that can affect a plane's speed relative to Earth's surface. If a pilot maintains a certain speed relative to the air (the plane's airspeed), the speed relative to the...
