Vy means the velocity in the y direction. In this problem it equals 0 at one point in time and that is when it reaches its maximum height.

Equilibrium means it's not moving (or maybe it is moving with constant velocity, not too sure), but regardless the acceleration in the X and Y components equals 0. However, that does not mean it needs to be spread equally between both tethers. The scenario you're thinking of is when the angles...

Yes, that is correct. I'm unsure what you mean by magnitude. I was referring to your answer of 0.08899m. That answer is off by one factor of 10. I assume it was just an error when you entered in the value?

That answer seems to be off by an order of magnitude. I would recheck your calculation. Also, the height that you calculated there is NOT the height the question is asking for. Can you tell the difference between the height you calculated and the height the question wants?

1. Homework Statement Problem 1) A photon having 44 keV scatters from a free electron at rest. What is the maximum energy that the electron can obtain? I already used all of my attempts on this problem so I can't check whether or not any attempt on this forum is successful. Hopefully that's...

Ah, okay. I feel much more directed as to what I need to be doing in order to better my life, and for that I thank you both.

Okay, I appreciate the reply. I think my plan from here on out will be to learn a few languages over my breaks, and then really decide on whether or not I want to pursue engineering or CS. Do you think a masters in either engineering or CS will be helpful, or even plausible given my lack of...

Okay, so should I give up on a getting a job in CS altogether? I would like to know my options, but I don't know who else to ask. What do you guys think?

There still must be some method of showing an employer "Here, look at what I have done, I am capable of doing this job", like the creation of my own Iphone app for a programming job. Certification was the wrong way to put it I suppose. I just remembered this term when I took a networking course...

Are there not certifications I could get that are education independent and only require me passing a test? From my understanding only ME's need a bachelors in engineering to get certified while other engineering fields do not. Same thing with CS.

I have not, but I am graduating next fall so I might have some time to change that. Should I even consider grad school without it? My schedule is pretty tight until now and graduation so I don't really have time to take remedial courses. Which field do you think would be the easiest to switch...

I am a Physics Major who will be graduating within the year, but I am unsure on what to do next. It seems that there aren't a lot of 'Physics' jobs, unless I were to get a PhD, which I do not want to do. What else are my options? From my understanding I could go for a master's program in...
