    Programs Master's degree in the U.S./U.K.?

    Hey everyone! I will be passing out of high school in three months' time and I will most probably be taking up a course with honours in physics. I will be doing my undergraduate studies in my home country (India). I want to know whether its worth going to the U.S./U.K. for a master's degree or...

    An application of Dynamics, very difficult, really

    haruspex has put it in a good way...just have a closer look at the quote Strictly speaking from the questions perspective perhaps the force acting to accelerate the printer could be increased, the actual head could be made lighter so it accelerates faster...etc (gosh am I breaking any guidelines!?)

    An application of Dynamics, very difficult, really

    I don't think there are any calculations involved...the numerical answer you computed only works in ideal situations (like zero friction, drag, etc). The answer to the last part must be qualitative not quantitative because they haven't given you any data to compute losses in speed due to the so...

    Oh that's good...I failed to notice. o0) Well then I guess PhysicStud01 has solved his probem :)

    An application of Dynamics, very difficult, really

    Well, they've given you the mass, the forces and the distance the head needs to cover. You've got to know that everytime the printer gets ready to print a character, it's velocity is zero. But, force acts on it AFTER printing the character, so then you've got to calculate the velocity it attains...

    N-P-N Transistor in Saturation Mode

    I don't understand the condition of saturation in an npn transistor (common emitter config). My textbook says that the collector-emitter voltage reduces to near zero upon increasing input voltage. Also, Wikipedia says that both BE and CE junctions 'become' forward biased. Can anyone please...
