    Understanding Orbital Wavefunctions in Quantum Mechanics

    Sir i have learned that wave function has no physical meaning its only its square that makes sense, why its square in particular and not a cube? How was so the concept of wavefuntion put forward?

    Understanding Orbital Wavefunctions in Quantum Mechanics

    I have poor concepts in Orbitals, wavefunctions etc. What i know is that quantum mechanics(study of sub atomic particles) talks about probability. What i understand is wavefunction means probability of finding an electron in space around a nucleus, correct me i am wrong.So when we say that this...

    Velocity Related Problem -- A body is thrown upward....

    So either you take a single parabolic path or take motion along x and y axis, its one and the same thing.

    Velocity Related Problem -- A body is thrown upward....

    From down to up we have u=u, v=0 (velocity at top is 0, it is momentarily at rest at that point), (Here)t=10/2=5s, g=-10m/s(as direction of u is opposite to acc or force of gravitation) so we have: v=u+at 0=u-10*5 u=50 Also when you will check motion from up to down you will get the same 'u'...

    Velocity Related Problem -- A body is thrown upward....

    Okay let me correct it a bit...Projectile is motion in 2D, you can divide this motion along separate x and y axis, and apply equations of constant acc. accordingly along both directions. If you have any problem getting it, go through the derivation of projectile formulas.

    Projectile Problem: Horizontal Velocity Analysis

    In this graph of Vx vs time, Vx is along y-axis and t is along x-axis, now the y-axis is cut on only one point, this signifies that its value will remain constant or same(equal to y coordinate of that point) even if time is increasing. Thats why it is represented as a horizontal line parallel to...

    vf is the velocity at the max height of the parabolic path bro.

    Velocity Related Problem -- A body is thrown upward....

    Here u got to consider the motion in two parts, 1. From down to up and 2. Up to down From down to up we have u=u, v=0 (velocity at top is 0, it is momentarily at rest at that point), (Here)t=10/2=5s, g=-10m/s(as direction of u is opposite to acc or force of gravitation) so we have: v=u+at...

    Motion Problem Constant Acceleration from 10 to 50 m/s in 2 secs

    Top tip:Whenever there is constant acc in 1D go for the equations...

    Motion Problem Constant Acceleration from 10 to 50 m/s in 2 secs

    Check this: We have three equations of motion for constant acceleration along 1D, 1. v=u+at, 2. v*v - u*u=2as, and 3. S=ut + 1/2at*t okay Here u(initial velocity)=10m/s, v(final velocity)=50m/s, a=constant (so apply equations as it is a 1D problem), s=60, t=? Using eq. 2 we get...

    Electricity Basics: Voltage 220V & Potential Difference

    In Indian standard electric supply at homes is of 220V and 50Hz, What is the physical meaning of Voltage 220V? Does Voltage means Potential difference? I know that potential difference(pd) between two points is the work-done per unit charge to move it between the two points. Is 220V the pd...
