Hey just curious about the profitability of a business degree. I hear MBA's are very popular, what about the bachelors though? And how do these stand next to degrees related to money?

I've been looking in my book lately on discontinuitys and I realized that a number that can't possibly be in the domain of the function is what leads to holes in the range of the function. So when I look at things like these, assuming I can't factor my way around this so that there...

I've been getting very annoyed with learning limits lately. Through direct substitution we can find the limit of something, I know that. F(x)= x + 2. Intuitively, I know that if I were to substitute 2 to x I would get 4. F(4)= 2+ 2 = 4. This appears to be correct. Likewise, the LIMIT of...

Yeah, and I do love physics. And it too seems like a physics PhD is the only degree that might open all of these options for me

Hey all, I've been contemplating PhD'ing in physics for a long time now. Originally I wanted to pursue this goal for my affinity to learning and interest in research. However, like other people in I've seen posting in this forum lately, I too have developed an strange fascination for finance...

I'm sorry I didn't mean linear. Heh, I had a feeling I was wording everything all wrong. so is F(x)=x2 the same as y=x2? or F(x)=mx+b is the same as y=mx+b ? Also any other graph-able equation you can think of. So in a t-table when x = a value, it will also give the value of y. And...

So I'm skipping pre-cal with full intentions of picking up on AP Calc. Our summer course work is taken from a book called preparing for calculus. After giving me some who-dad that I knew already everything changed in an instant. There's a little gap that isn't quiet filled. A function is...

I didn't mean illegal or harmful chems. I meant things like creatin or the stuff they put in other muscle or weight gain helpers. Like drinks and what not. My current Work out is running to catch up to a bus every morning. A lot of walking around downtown. And a lot of thinking while I...

Looking to gain muscle. MY parents are actually not in shape..at all. So I don't see why I don't have any weight..but I don't. I need a plan or something to go from 5'10 120 lbs to something a bit more sturdier. I don't want to hit the gym alot, and i don't mind chemicals, if they aren't very...

So, recently I've noticed, here I am reading my "first book to c++" When I'm not really busy. However at these times, I'm not at home. So I'm working on grasping concepts while not quite getting practice. So I decided I should buy a laptop. What laptop would be fabulous for a 340 biweekly...

just screen space? Is wasting it bad? Like..memory wise or? Just scrolling through code? I think it looks a little more organized

So, in my C++ book it says only a single statement can be used in an if-else like if (blah==blahblah) cout<<blahblahblah else cout<<blah he ha unless you do if (blah==blahblah) { cout<<blahblahblah cout<<also blah } else { cout<<blah he ha cout<<blah le ha...

Oh. That makes so much more sense, because gravity only works straight down (to the middle of earth).So When i draw a vector going straight down for the hypotenuse I get that the object is being pulled down at this rate, and because of Newtons laws or normal force, its not falling straight down...

If i drew a vector perpendicular to the object? Then 9.8m/s^2*200kg

hmm..but wouldn't getting the normal force first work? Thengetting weight and using pythag rearranged to get the last bit work?

Thanks. Well I'm looking at my own drew up inclined plane thingy with a 200kg box on it. I know that if i draw a light straight down Il'll get the weight and hypot of another triangle. So what good is that hypot? isn't it a resultant vector already?

So, my physics teacher has made this VERY confusing. We use vectors. But for some reason I keep wanting to think the resultant vector is the ultimate vector for magnitude and direction of force,speed acceleration w/e. But for some reason I'm not seeing that Normal force is the force that...

So, if i use this ready boost feature, will i be able to pull my drive otu when I'm done without it have any random crap on it?

Aha, so it has equilibrium. So its not really much of a vector, but the acceleration of gravity that would be can still be turned around and multipiled by the co to get the static or kinetic friction,right?

Woo that confused me ha. Sorry. Maybe I worded It kinda funny. So the normal force, is the contact for between two objects? That makes sense, so of course the weight of the object on the surface? If I'm correct the weight is the measure of the force of gravity on a certain mass. With gravity...

More or less just a general question. So if the normal force is pretty much the weight of the object (mass times acceleration of gravity) and then the friction is that times the coefficient? So basically weight is what causes MORE magnitude of friction? We take the force vector of gravity...

oh my goodness i forgot all about sig figs. Thank you very much

Homework Statement A bus is traveling at 30.0 km/h speeds up at a constant rate of 3.5 ms/^2. What velocity does it reach at 6.8 seconds later? book says 120.km/hour I get 115 km/hour Homework Equations Vf=Vi+a x delta t The Attempt at a Solution First I changed 30.0 km/hour to...

So, DaveC, and Proton Soup, say I moderate my self to say, a single 2 liter a day, I shouldn't have to worry...And sodas are a lot less likely to be the cause of getting diabetes?

I'm not looking for something very diety so to say. Like I'm not interested in losing wait (I'm far too skinny). My problem is a caffiene addiction. I drink a lot of soda. MY friend recently suggested i could get diabetes from the amount I drink, and I'm kinda scared about that. ( i know this...

So how about a better drink in general? To replace soda with?

I have a soda drinking problem. Basically, all I want to do is a find a healthier thing to drink. Due to lack of sleep and exercise i feel like i might be losing mental clarity, so perhaps something that's sort of a "Brain drink"? Anything good? green tea maybe?

Alright thanks.. My thoughts were all correct. The diagram said exactly what i did in my first post kinda(i don't even remember what was in my first post..but yeah) Thanks guys

So I was correct? It didn't travel with it. They were perpendiculer to one another..

Why would it be longer? So the components of velocity aren't speed? The compnents of displacement are distance... Sorry, I'm still a little bit confused

I've been going along in this physics book and I've been getting along in it. Vectors took me some time though, and i sitll have questions. So i understand how a vector "displacement" and be gained from a bunch of distances travelled, and i know the <x,y> components would simply be total east...

I will not have a problem allocateing some funding to start off with. But I do have an interest in both PURE and APPLIED sciences. I sort of wanted to open the lab to a couple different sciences. And of course an engineering group for the more applied stuff. I sort of want it to hold...

Indeed. But that's where my many other ideas can kick in. Thanks for answering this! Makes me very happy.

Every now and then I entertain this thought. The more i study the sciences the more i want to continue studying. I've spent hundreds of dollars on books ranging from physics to mathematics to organic and biochemistry to electronics, I bought Kent's Mechnicals Engineer's Handbook today(mainly...

You're absolutely correct, and my fretting is quite rediculous. I'll go for scientist a PhD and everything, after that will be a matter of my determination. But what you're getting at though is...I can bring together my interests by simply working hard at it..like obtain PhD ...start...

Theoretics like Newtons formulas and Einsteins have been proven to be successful... I don't know how to really word what I'm trying to get at. My first interest in physics was stuff like Anti-Gravity, super conducters, quantum entanglement. Discoveries are good, its amazing and wonderful...

Thank you sir...QUICK QUICK..Tooooo ENGLISH FORUMS

Hi guys. I was surfing threads on this forum once again and i read a line that was like physicists aren't interested in mechanics..or else they'd be engineers.. And in other threads things like physics not being practicle. This is confounding. Physics..originally something of philosophy, not...

Of course it is..which is why I'm buying a kit to learn off of. But I figured I'd pick up some knowledge here too =]

Alright so after taking it apart some more. I can across a very interesting piece. Makes me think of a turbine(I know that it is not). At one end it has a white cap with 4 holes with metal rods that then pass through a short(very short) glass tube and then through some gears and into another...

Well for like one step may only get you two feet, while going down on the pedal may take you several

Alright. So I'm froob and must admit I don't quite understand the bicycle and how it seems to give you more for less, so to say. I figured the shape of a wheel and how the curves stand off from the ground sort of enable gravity to give an extra pull on it. How ever , when I went to look it up it...

Curious. I have a video camera and I've decided to take it apart. I posted a thread a while ago about building a robot, so It would be nice if somehow i could use something from this camera to give it "vision" or "Senses". So I want to know. Do these things have sensors in them? Is that how they...

Hmm. I found this website and this http://letsmakerobots.com/start [Broken] Do you think that bot would be more invaluable to learning as a starter than a boe bot?

Earth's Gravity Is pulling even past the moon. The air would have to be "sucked" pretty far.

I noticed the programming on it was like PBasic or something like that. I looked it up on google and apparently it is a really good starter kit. But I only know things about c++ and don't really want to learn another language and start getting them all tangled. Is there a programming language...

Thanks guys for all these links... So, I've taken a look at the Boe-Bot. And I think one or two people here mentioned it. If I were to buy this kit ( I also want to add the crawler and gripper kit to it) How much would I be learning from it? Or should I get a more "difficult" kit? If i get...

So I know little about engineering. But I do know a thing or two about programming in c++ now. I've disassembled many electronics (MANYMANYMANY) IN my house. Like we have all sorts of things I could just take apart. Since I know little about robots and engineering them I decided I'd also...
