Hey guys, I'm currently involved in a 10 week REU program which ends in the 1st week of August and I know there are literally like 2 weeks left in the program with the last half of the last week reserved for our presentations and report, however, is there a way to "quit" a REU before the program...

Homework Statement The following describes a method used to measure the specific heat ratio "gamma" of a gas. The gas, assumed ideal, is confined within a vertical cylindrical container and supports a freely moving piston of mass m. The piston and cylinder both same the same cross-sectional...

Homework Statement Consider an electron in a three-dimensional cubic box of side length Lz. The walls of the box are presumed to correspond to infinitely high potentials. Homework Equations En=((h2)/8MLz2)(n2) where n corresponds to the principal quantum numbers in their respective...

Homework Statement Consider a particle confined within a box in the shape of a cube of edges Lx=Ly=Lz. The possible energy levels of this particle are then given by the quantized energy for a particle in a 3D box. Calculate explicitly the force per unit area (or pressure) on this wall...

Homework Statement Consider a particle confined within a box in the shape of a cube of edges Lx=Ly=Lz. (a) Suppose that the partice is in a given state specified by particular values of the principal quantum numbers nx, ny, nz. By considering how the energy of this state must change when...

I am currently enrolled in PHY4523 - Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics where we are currently using "Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics" by F. Reif and I was wondering if there were any good recommendations as far as supplemental texts that I could use in helping me...

Hey guys, I am an undergraduate junior physics major currently enrolled in PHY3220 (Classical Mechanics) and we are using the textbook by Fowles and Cassiday titled, "Analytical Mechanics." However, I am looking for a second Classical Mechanics textbook that I could use as a reference since...

This question is regarding the application of Gauss's Law to find the electric field within given objects, etc. For example, the question asks you to find the electric field inside a charged sphere, but how do you know when to use little "r" and big "R" when it comes to the radius? Here are...

Hey guys, I was wondering what brand of internet security software would you recommend for the PC? I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2009, however, I hear some of the other brands are better such as McAfee and Trend Micro? What do you guys think of Norton 360? Its just that I have...

To make things short, I would like to teach college level physics as my future career choice. I am currently a junior at my local university starting their upper-level physics courses, spring semester 2009, therefore, I am still unaware as to what I am getting into. However, I did make A's on...

Well, I just finished my last two courses (Physics 2 w/Calculus and C Programming) required for my transfer over to my local university for their physics program of which I will be starting in the Spring Semester 2009. I am currently signed up for Linear Algebra, Classical Mechanics, and...

Here is what I have coded so far: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int randomNumber(void); // Function prototype for random number generator void srand(unsigned int seed); // Function prototype for seeding the RNG int main() { //...

Below is what I have coded so far; My problem is that I need to write one more function outside of "main" to display the integers in fraction form without actually computing it. Please, I need your help in coding the last function. Thanksdouble decimal(int, int); // function prototype of...

So, how would I encode that into my "decimal" function because I am confused as to how to print it via the main function?

Here are the homework instructions: Write a program that will accept two integers representing the numerator and denominator of a fraction, and display: 1. The fraction in "lowest form" with a sign only in the numerator. 2. The fraction is signed decimal form. Write your program...
