    Physics 3rd class in physics any advice?

    Similar sort of position here. Getting that low class degree doesn't help in any way shape or form. It is a major drawback. Can't get any job. any at all. I've worked in retail for 6 years. Most will reject me straight away unless I have a good reference from someone already there. Not even a...

    Radiation pressure on sphere orbiting earth

    That didn't help me unfortunately, would you be able to elaborate a bit more please... My current understanding is that the energy impacting the sphere would depend on the latitude of the sphere, in a way similar to how solar radiation is more intense on the equator than nearer the poles (in...

    Radiation pressure on sphere orbiting earth

    Homework Statement A spherical shell of diameter D, filled with hydrogen orbits the earth. The average intensity of solar radiation, in a plane perpendicular to the rays is 1.4kW/m^2. Calculate the total force of solar radiation pushing it off its orbit as a function of the shell's albedo...

    How can I use vector identities to prove and explain the Ponyting theorem?

    apologies. Was being dumb for a moment there. I believe I have it now. thanks

    How can I use vector identities to prove and explain the Ponyting theorem?

    \frac{2}{2} H . \frac{\partial H} {\partial t} not sure why you need to chain rule though?

    How to calculate time when falling off a building

    there is a set of equations relating s, u, v, a and t. they are called the kinematic equations. They should be covered in last couple of years of high school/6th form (years 12 & 13)

    How can I use vector identities to prove and explain the Ponyting theorem?

    Homework Statement Prove and explain the Ponyting theorem Homework Equations S = E x H [1] \nabla.S = \nabla.(E x H) [2] \nabla x E = -\partialB/\partialt [3] \nabla x H = \partial D/\partialt [4] D = \epsilonE + P [5] B = \muH + \muM [6] The Attempt at a Solution I understand I am to...

    Problem sheet double integration

    Homework Statement \int\int x^3(x^2+y^2) dy dx limts of x between 2 and -4 and y limits between 5 and 0 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i get an answer -17426 2/3 which doesn't seem right plugged the formula into maple and has given me an answer of -5860. my...

    Question on waves and vibrations

    Homework Statement this is part of a problem sheet and is the last question i have left to work out. i have been given solutions of 105dB and 86dB. A person is in a room in which two sources of sound of loudness 100 dB and 98 dB are emitting the same frequency. The sources form a...

    Integrating a 2-D Function: x^2+y^2 \leq 4

    so i should get an answer of 4?

    Integrating a 2-D Function: x^2+y^2 \leq 4

    x and y are both > or = 0. which to me implies only a quarter way around dx and dy will become dr and d(theta) \int theta 0 \int2 0 2r sin theta r dr d(theta)

    Integrating a 2-D Function: x^2+y^2 \leq 4

    yes it is a semantic issue. what i have written on paper is different to my typing. just a bad habit to always press equals on a computer. what is my next step? i think once i get the limits sorted i will be fine the limits are 0<r<2 0<=theta<=pi/2 can the y factor be expressed as r sin theta?
