    Why do Planets have elliptical orbits ,AND

    Those solar tides and or even third object interactions i agree wiould cause the orbit to become slightly elliptical but isn't that the same as saying the gravitational pulls of oter forces, particularly other planets? and what is non-zero-rest mass anyway?

    Engineering Engineering Undecided: Chemical Engineering Advice

    Really, I am supprised that you don't take as many chem courses if your going into chemical engineering, i know that some schools will give you the credits if you pass your AP exams, and because I'm in AP chem right now and i pass teh exam, would i basically be taking the chem courses by...

    Engineering Engineering Undecided: Chemical Engineering Advice

    I agree your right that if i wouk hard and enjoy what I am doing then it shouldn't matter however, i just want to be sure that I am understanding the idea of a chemical engineer and from there i will be able to base wether or not I should look into it as a career?

    Why do Planets have elliptical orbits ,AND

    Some planets have circular orbits while some have elliptical orbits based on the grvitational forces that exit between teh neighbring planets. Planets that are strong enough to exceed the gravitaional pull of a planet with follow a circular path unlike a plat that is to weak to exceed the...

    Chemical Engineering: Career Opportunities and Job Prospects

    I remeber reading somewhere the chemical engineers also work with gases and oil would that tie into the enviornmental groth area of chemical engineering? Also, what kinds of jobs do CE's do inthe pharmacutical indistry beacuse if that was the case then wouldn't you just become a pharmacist?

    Engineering Exploring Chemical Engineering as a Career

    As I am starting to think more about college and what career I want to major in I am questioning what engineering I would be most comfortable with and would like the most. I'm also even questionign if engineering in general is what I would want to do for the rest of my life. I wanted to now...

    Engineering Engineering Undecided: Chemical Engineering Advice

    So I've heard that Chemical Engineering is the hardest type of engineering of them all and beacuse I love chemisrty and I love physics, I figured why not chemical engineering? I'm not sure if that makes sense, is chemical engineering even a good combination of teh two? Or am I just putting two...

    How Do You Calculate Net Force on a Block on a Ramp?

    I too would draw a final FBD so that you can take inti account your additional x and y forces representing sin theta and cos theta and from there you can set your forces equal to one another

    Engineering Is a PhD necessary for success in engineering?

    OkAy that actually helps me understand a lot better. I ultimately just was to be sucessdull and make a good sum if money much like everyone else, and I want to be sure to do it in the most beneficial way possible. But now I can see that I can be just as sucessfull by attaing a masters degree...

    Engineering Is a PhD necessary for success in engineering?

    Really? So i shouldn't be too concerned with working to get a Phd if engineering unless i wish to each it? Why would it be easier to get a job if i didnt continue onto a Phd? A Masters degree is still important too right?
