    Solving Gauss' Law for Electric Field Around Spherical Shell

    Homework Statement a spherical shell has an outer radius R and a inner radius R/2 and carries a total charge -q, distributed with uniform charge density. A point charge +q is at the centre of the sphere. Calculate the electric field strength for R/2<r<R Homework Equations Gauss' Law The...

    Height of fluid and Bernoullis equation

    Oh sorry nevermind, I got it. Turns out the velocity is initially 0.1 ms-1, then doing what I said gives the answer. :)

    Height of fluid and Bernoullis equation

    Homework Statement An ideal liquid flows horizontally through a pipe of cross sectional area 3cm2 with a velocity 1ms-1. The pipe narrows to a cross sectional area 1cm2. 2 vertical pipes are connected to the pipe, one in either region. Calculate the height difference of the liquid between...

    What should I study over summer?

    I'm almost done with my first year of maths and physics at university and I'm thinking of doing a bit of studying in my free time. What are some good books or subjects to look into (either maths or physics)? So far I've covered: Maths: Intro to proofs (short sections on sets, functions...

    [Relativity] Energy and momentum question

    Sorry I should have said, this is a question from an exam a few years ago and it doesn't mention the mass of the proton anywhere in the entire paper. Is there a way to get the answer without knowing m? Cheers for the tutorial!

    [Relativity] Energy and momentum question

    Homework Statement Write down a relation between the total relativistic energy, mass and momentum of a particle. An antiproton has a total energy of 5.00 GeV. Calculate its momentum and its speed.Homework Equations E = γmc^2 E = (cp)^2 +(mc^2)^2 p = γmv The Attempt at a Solution I've tried...

    Not enough information for question? [1st year special relativity]

    Really? Does it not matter that the particles relativistic? Is the only frame where stuff like v=s/t doesn't hold a relativistic one?

    Not enough information for question? [1st year special relativity]

    But how do I find (for example) t? I can;t just use v=s/t can I?

    Not enough information for question? [1st year special relativity]

    Homework Statement I've been going over past papers recently and I can't see how to start this one, I get confused with the reference frames and it looks like I don't have enough information to start this. "An unspecified meson has a mean lifetime , defined in its rest frame, of t =...
