I want to spend this summer on reading some Physics books but can't find any which I can begin and enjoy for the whole summer. So can anyone of you suggest some for me also. I have had calculus upto differential equations, Fourier Analysis, vector calculus from my engineering course and I also...

try searching for JEST, JAM, GATE for the research field of your liking.

There are good things in India if you open up your eyes and look for them.[Though that would require extreme x-ray vision]. But when you look past IIT and the standard engineering here in India there are good colleges by Indian standards [please do not compare them with the likes of Princeton...

In what direction is she moving? So what should you do to get x-component?[It's the easiest thing to do in the world :P]

Yeah I am at UG level! I had a look at the book at google books. Seems great. I will get it.

So this is just a case of probability. The rotation period of a heavenly object depends upon the velocity and orientation of the cloud of gas or the asteroids it encounters in the period of its creation?

okay I will go in that order. But I want to know which book would be good for mathematical Physics for the given course? I want some with huge number of "good" problems

where does the initial angular momentum come from? is it that the creation of every heavenly object is such that it imparts angular momentum to every object?

I have had this question for a very long time. Never got a convincing answer Every Heavenly body rotates about its axis. The sun, the planets, the galaxies, every heavenly body why is it so? what makes the rotate? ps:It is very likely that this question would be a repetition. If it is...

I just saw all the 16 pages full of these awesome pics and I am going to do it again :smile:! They are just great! I hope I can get a good camera some day and take such great pics!

more torque[low gear ratio] will get you up the hill more easily compared to less torque[high gear ratio].

Permanent magnets are made by the process you describe. Every ferromagnetic substance will retain magnetic field due to hysteresis. Now you say we take an inductor put in magnetic energy, switch of the current. Now when you are putting in magnetic energy[1/2Li^2] this energy is not being given...

wouldn't that much energy cause fusion in the atmosphere? I mean there are molecules in the air. These photons being produced would give them sufficient energy to break up the strong nuclear force and break them into atoms of smaller atomic mass. Some may even get broken to protons. These can...

I have to self study the following topics what books should I get to do it? 1) Mathematical Physics The course is: Linear vector space; matrices; vector calculus; linear differential equations; elements of complex analysis; Laplace transforms, Fourier analysis, elementary ideas about...

That formula represents velocity as a function of displacement.
