Thank you for all your help.

Anything more in textbook format?

Hello everyone, summer break has begun for me, and I was wondering which way is the best possible way to learn new stuff over the summer, I wanted to dive into, and kind of begin, to have an understanding of Lorentz Transformations and Einstein's special relativity theory, is there any book or...

im also stuck on this question..and ^ that diagram is wrong its actually 30degrees between the string halves. i came up with Fe=mgtan15=kq^2/r^2 where r^2=0.02412 (derived from cosine law formula) i still don't get the right answer...i assumed that the horizontal component of the tension in...

bingo!..thanks a lot!

Homework Statement A bungee jumper of mass 64.5 kg (including safety gear) is standing on a platform 48.0 m above a river. The length of the unstretched bungee cord is 10.1 m. The force constant of the cord is 65.5 N/m. The jumper falls from rest and just touches the water at a speed of...

Hey, is there anyone who can provide 2 graphical examples of either logarithmic or exponential functions relating to the real world. I've looked in many places and have given up. Please help. Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot that's exactly what I needed to hear.

what aspects of space design are there?, I am sorry if i sound very stupid, but I am young and I am trying to figure this out before I make choices that i regret later on in life.

mostly space related, space-craft design maybe, anything remotely related with anything outside of the Earth's atmosphere.

what if you were wanting to go into the aerospace industry after school, which one would be the most useful or most related to that field.

Well i have a choice between mechatronics, Solid Mechanics & Machine Design, manufacturing which would be the more enjoyable and more "useful" one of the two. P.S. i would love to get into a career related to space, or spacecraft design later on in my life.

Now i know that aeronautical engineering is the best course to go through with if your interested in this field, but the university I am going to only allows you to specialize in aerospace engineering in the third year of an extremely hard engineering path. Now i was wondering what would be the...

Well you see I am torn between becoming an engineer or physicist, its basically the fact that i might have difficulty securing a job if i go through with physics...i live in Canada, does anyone have any input on the job outlook for physics?, and for engineering i love rockets/space and would...

What would my chances be if I apply to UofT with a 80-85 avg in Math-Physics, and overall.
