yes but when the first guy reaches the door he will occupy d distance to the left of the door so when the second guy comes his finishing point won't be the door but it will be that distance minus the thickness of the first guy so it will be reduced to L-d . -> Alright, if it is L you show...

madah12, you started to think in the right direction, but went off track. After time t_1=L/v the first guy got stuck at the door. What about the 2'nd guy? look at the figure provided. The distance to the first guy is still L, not L-d. That's because the figure shows that the distance L...

Hi, I'd think it is quite feasible to go to a post-grad degree in physics with a BS in EE or other degrees that require/demonstrate strong quantitative skills. There are big areas of overlap between physics and engineering, physics and chemistry and physics and biology. Just for example, in MIT...

I found some news today on this subject about a program in Cornell for continuous training for teachers to tackle the problem: http://www.weny.com/news-local.asp?ARTICLE3864=9154949" Shai

In the US there is the PhysTech program that aims to increase the recruitment of students to physics teaching programs and also improve the quality of their training. They seem to do some aggressive marketing and get positive results in terms of the size of enrollment. Their website is...
