Hi guys, I'm studying for a midterm and i decided to do some problems for practice and I'm stuck on a fairly simple one "The space and time coordinates of two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1 (x,0,0) @ t=x/c Event 2 (2x,0,0) @ t=x/2c There exists a frame in...

\[ \begin{gathered} {\text{Conservation of momentum: }}p_1 + p_{e_1 } = p_2 + p_{e_2 } \hfill \\ {\text{assume electron starts from rest }}p_1 = p_2 + p_{e_2 } \hfill \\ {\text{Conservation of energy: }}E_1 + E_{e_1 } = E_2 +...

Hey guys, Im trying to derive the following equation (mc^2) [(1/E2)-(1/E1)]+cos(theta)-[((E1-E2)^2)/(2E1E2)]=1 E1 = Incident Photon's energy E2 = Scattered Photon's energy theta= scattering angle m = mass of electron c = s Using conservation of energy,conservation of mass, and...

Hey guys, I have a pretty simple question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. is y''+xy'-5=(x^2)(e^y) linear or non-linear I believe it is non-linear due to the e^y. But i am not too sure. Thanks in advance for your help You guys are great.

Thanks very much for the answer. IT WORKS! However, I don't understnad why/how. Whats is the reasoning behind multiplying then angle and then cube rooting the radius?

I'm doing some practice problems for my mechanics exam tomorrow (good ol' SHM) and I can't solve this for the life of me: Determine: (-1+i)^(1/3) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm studying for an exam tomorrow and am facing a question I can't for the life of me fathom. " A PP air capacitor is made by using to plates 16 cm squared, spaced 4.7 mm apart, connected to a 12V battery" Find Capacitance, charge on each plate, electric field between plated...
