It's online homework, so no I don't know what it is. Well since it is an equilateral triangle, all sides are the same length L and all angles are 60 degrees. I know that the q_1 charge is L/2 away from q_0 horizontally because it is equilateral (and Lcos60 = L/2). That is what would be...

Here's the problem: Three charges are at the corners of an equilateral triangle as in the figure below: ....(+)q_1 .../...\ .../...\ L .../...\ ...q_0(+)____(-)q_2L = .06 m q_0 = 1.8*10^-6 C q_1 = 6.6*10^-6 C q_2 = -4.6*10^-6 C Calculate the electric field at the position of q_0 (the origin)...

The reason that I haven't really mentioned a bachelors in ME is because my school doesn't offer it and because of lots of complicated factors transferring schools for my undergrad wouldn't work out very well.

Would a bachelors in Electrical Engineering be a good base for Aerospace grad school?

I'm really nowhere close to finishing the physics degree and I have no interest to. I have about two years left and all the credits that I have accumulated will transfer seamlessly to an engineering degree. Also, I'm not planning on just getting a bachelors. Oh and to clarify, by SE I meant...

Aerodynamics was the main draw for me into aerospace engineering. Lately I have been becoming interested in Unmanned Ariel Vehicles and the computer systems in those. That's kind of where I thought the SE would come into play. I think the reason I'm shying away from physics is because I...

I'm currently a physics major, but I don't really like the outlook of my degree plan. I got to University of Texas at Dallas. I've been looking at University of Texas at Arlington's Aerospace/ME graduate studies. One thing they said on their website was: "All entering students must be proficient...

I have been thinking about going into the aerospace industry and was wondering if a physics degree or a mechanical engineering degree would be more beneficial? Or, what are the pros and cons of having either of them and going into that industry?
