Graduate The method of finding periodic three-body orbits
Hello everyone! I'm trying to get a deeper understanding on how to determine those periodic orbits in the equal-mass three-body Newtonian gravitational problems. The most general idea I know is to confine the three bodies into a zero angular momentum space, which sounds vague to me. What is the... -

Undergrad The physics of a missile with uniform rate of fuel loss
Hello everyone! I'm at a loss trying to figure out the specific force that pushes a missile at rest off the ground, to the high sky. Considering a missile with constant mass, and an independent initial total fuel mass. The rate of fuel mass being expelled out of the missile is constant, in... -

Intro Physics 2 Recommended texts, And the differences between them?
Thank you! I think I must own the book Kleppner. One more important thing, actually I really need books that cover other topic, can you recommend me book for the following also: 1. Mechanics: as you already said: Kleppner and Kolenkow. 2. Fluid mechanics(does the Kleppner book include this...- Pefgjk

Intro Physics 2 Recommended texts, And the differences between them?
Hello everyone! My main physics teacher has made recommendations for us about textbooks, and those were: A. Physics for scientists and engineers by Jewett/Serway. B. Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A strategic approach with modern physics by Randall D. Knight. 1. I read the former for a...- Pefgjk
