Correct me where I go wrong. I understand two particles can not share the same quantum numbers, but electrons in separate atoms do share the same quantum numbers. Where's the limit? How far away from a particle do you have to be in order to be able to consider that state "empty"? Thank...

It definitely makes more sense now, thanks. If I understand it correctly, the reason field_3 has a positive divergence is because if you have a volume, dV, then there would be more lines out of the volume than into it, right?

I imagine it to be something like this:http://www.malcams.com/admin/assetmanager/images/maldoc2a.gif where there is a groove on a disk, and the disk spins. The fluid or puck is traveling in the groove. In the photo, the groove is continuous, but in this discussion the groove starts at the...

This is mostly true. Say you have a pipe with a small aperture at one end(the nozzle) and the other end is the source of incoming water. I would argue that the accelerating force behind the exiting jet of water is the pressure created by the source of incoming water on the opposite site. To...

If I understand this correctly, it's either neither or both. When the fluid is accelerated, it's going to put a force on something in the opposite direction, this is Newtons laws. The only thing to push against is a wall, and therefore will always have a normal component. There is one...

I'm not sure where to put this question, but relativity sounds about right. Suppose all human race were blind and had no idea that em radiation even exists; suppose we "saw" with echolocation. How does this now effect relativity? Simultaneity is now heavily skewed because now the speed that...

I don't know how to handsolve the equations, but I sent it through Mathematica, and you don't want to see the answer. Although I posted it anyway. in = DSolve[y''[x] + a*y[x] + b*y[x]^2 == 0, y[x], x] out = Solve[(4 EllipticF[ ArcSin[\[Sqrt]((Root[-3 C[1] + 3 a #1^2 + 2 b #1^3 &...

I'm going to be a 3rd year physics major this coming fall. I've found the Feynman Lectures on Physics to be nothing short of amazing. They present anything you could ever want to know or learn in a physics classroom in a very easy-to-understand format. They're expensive, if I remember right...

I don't think you're saying what you want to. All you have to do to accomplish this is to erase every other line on the x-axis starting with .25. This would leave you with a line at 0, .5, 1, 1.5, etc... as you stated you wanted.

Horsepower is a measure of, oddly enough, energy per time. Torque is a measure of force at a distance(from the axis of rotation). They can't be converted unless you know some other information about the engine you are investigating. Also, what is the x-axis in your graph? What HallsofIvy...

I know how to calculate the divergence and curl of a vector field. What I am lacking is any intuition on what these values mean. example: V= {x, y, z} ∇.V = 3 ∇xV = {0,0,0} F={-y, x, 0} ∇.F = 0 ∇xF = {0,0,2} G={0, 3y, 0} ∇.G = 3 I understand that that the divergence is a measure of how much...
