I am enrolled at the University of Waterloo's Honours Physics Program with a specialization in Applied Physics. In the future I would like to either work as a physicist conducting research or work on developing energy sources like nuclear or solar power. My main options would include a minor in...

We’re using the law school of conservation of energy. So if the reference point is at the top of the spring, the gravitational potential is 0, so the only energy there is the kinetic which is equal to the elastic potential when the spring is fully compressed

Homework Statement An object with a mass of 6kg falls 1.8m onto a spring with a spring constant of 2x10^3 N/m. At that instant, the velocity of the object is 4m/s. What is the compression of the spring and the max displacements of the spring. m = 6kg v = 4m/s h = 1.8m k = 2x10^3N/m Homework...

The specialization offered through the physics programs is applied physics, this is in contrast to the other specialization of astrophysics

I’m going to University in Canada but internships might take me out of the country and I’m willing to work at any institution that’ll have me, and if I were to study pure physics then I would hope to attain a PhD

I am applying to universities soon and the one subject that I would like to have in any area of study is physics, if I were to study pure physics than I would specialize in applied physics. I know that there aren't many jobs in specifically research areas which would be a dream job, so what...

I'm trying to decide if I should pursue a career in physics in physics or engineering. I'm 17 and will be applying to universities soon and I'm considering the University of Waterloo, Queen's University and University of Toronto. If I continue with engineering than I would most likely pursue...
