So I've been stuck on this type of question, please help! You are pushing horizontally on a 3.0 kg box of wood, pressing against a wall. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, how much force must you exert on the block to prevent it from sliding down? Homework Statement What is...

I just started at my four year university, after doing my AA at a community college simply to save some money and get my gen ed requirements out of the way as much as I could. However, the university I started at has a language requirement in order to graduate. I only have to take 2 semesters...

If I was to major in physics in college, could I get a job in applied physics? If yes, would I need my PhD?

I'm trying to decide what major would be best for being a quant or an analyst on Wall Street. I know this is a route a lot of applied math majors go, but is that also true for Econ? I've always thought of economics as more philosophy and business oriented, while math is math! I recently got...

Do applied physicists do scientific research and experiments to create new technology or do they do more engineering type work? I guess the real question is do applied physicists do work that more resembles pure physicists or engineers?

Hypothetically: A pair of electrodes with a small insulating barrier between them. Transport is via tunneling through the barrier. You apply a small bias, and measure conductance because there is tunneling current. At 0 K, can there still be tunneling? Is it possible for a tunnel junction...

Dear all, Can the conservation of mass principle be applied to the mass flow rate of a refrigerant in an ideal refrigerator system? And what about for an actual refrigeration system? I'm reading the principle here but can't work it out. Says that it applies for steady flow, but I assume...

Crap. I couldn't get everything i wanted in my topic title. Anywho, I'm wondering which masters degree would be better for a career in machine learning / smart data while still keeping other - traditional options available? I would love to do a double major and earn both graduate degrees but...

High School is over and I'm finally going to University to study Physics this Fall. In the past few years, choosing that course with the intention of concentrating more on theoretical aspects of physics has always been dead set on my mind. However, lately as I was analysing the course...

I'm a rising senior and I am looking to finalize the colleges I am applying to. Right now I plan on majoring in Applied Mathematics, probably with a minor in Econ. I'm an Indiana resident, so obviously I'm leaning towards IU and Purdue just in terms of cost. But my parents would love to move...

Hi Everybody, I am in my final year of high school, and want to enrol with the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa next year, and I will hopefully be going for a Bsc in computer science, math and physics. However, I have been wondering a couple of things over the...

Hi all, I'm currently double majoring in applied mathematics and physics and minoring in computer science. I'm about 2 years away from graduating and I am starting to freak out because I don't know what I can do with my majors and minor. I don't know what kind of internships I can do with my...

still one school year left , I think it will be "applied physics" Well anyone would normally pursue an engineering career in my school , especially in the "General sciences" section . I first considered doing Astrophysics , but having seen how incompatible it is with what I thought it would be...

Dear all, I basically did my bachelors in electronics and communication engineering and currently working as embedded design engineer(2 yrs of experience). However I felt that I really wanted to do physics for my graduation. But I am confused between applied physics and pure physics. How does...

So, I am majoring in Applied Mathematics at Fresno Pacific University and was just wondering what sorts of jobs I could get with my major. My school career services is kind of useless to be honest and I've already talked to them... I was just wondering what you all thought? I have always wanted...

So I am currently going to be entering my 3rd year of an Applied Math BS at Fresno Pacific University (I know its a nobody school but I am there for athletics). I have always wanted to do engineering but my school does not offer it. I was wondering if having an Applied Math BS and getting a...

What's the Difference B/n Applied vs. "Pure" Maths? Hello. I'm a soon-to-be new university student and am taking this summer to learn all I can about various subjects, majors, and career opportunities. I've been reading up a little bit this week on math majors and have come across what...

Homework Statement Using my classnotes and what the professor did, it is not clear to me as how I must tackle the following problem. I'm given the potential ##V(x)= V_0 \left ( \frac{x^2}{2} -K \right ) e^{-a x^2}## where a>0. I must estimate via Ritz method the ground state energy. I must use...

In a recent course on special relativity the lecturer derives the Lorentz transformation matrix for the four vector of position and time. Then, apparently without proof, the same matrix is used to transform the EM field tensor to the tensor for the new inertial frame. I am unclear whether it...

I see there have been many postings about this topic in this forum. The formula for this relation is Luminosity = Mass^3.5 Taking logs of both sides we get log (lum) = 3.5 * log (mass) and using a little algebra we find that the exponent (3.5) should equal log (lum) ÷ log (mass) I have...

Hi all! To keep this short(ish), if in the same time frame I could obtain a master's in physics, would it be better to instead get a double major in physics and applied math while taking 5+ graduate courses in physics? The more I think about how applied math interests me, and how useful I think...

Homework Statement A 900kg car is moving on a level road at 80km/h. If the brakes are applied, what is the distance it will take to stop if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.45. Homework Equations F=ma D=vt Vf=Vi+at ... Really basic Kinematics...

Okay, so, the college I will probably attend is more of a applied physics program. If I want to go on to study particle physics or even theoretical physics would I have a chance if my bachelors is in applied physics? I talked with the head of physics and he said they have a combined math...

I'm currently reading an electromagnetism textbook and it has said that Gauss's theorem can only be applied on: Concentric spheres Concentric cylinders Parallel planes In these cases the "symmetry allows the integrals to be evaluated" In class we only ever really use co-axle cables...

Hello everyone. Most likely, I will soon be transferring to NJIT and majoring in applied physics. NJIT offers double major programs in applied physics and either applied math or computer science. If I had to pick one out of pure interest, I would probably go with applied math; however, computer...

The best instate college in my state for mathematics is Georgia Tech. However, it does not have a pure mathematics degree. Can I still go to grad school for pure mathematics as an applied math major? Will it prepare me for pure mathematics?

Why is it: $$ \langle A \rangle = \int dV ~ \psi^* (\hat{A} \psi) $$ As opposed to: $$ \langle A \rangle = \int dV ~ (\hat{A} \psi^*) (\hat{A} \psi) $$ The op can substantially change the wf, so it would seem to make more mathematical sense (at least from a linear algebra pov) to...

Due to personal life issues and limitations, I've been seeking other options for my B.S. and came upon Applied Mathematics. What I've been on the fence about for a while now has been which Engineering degree to pursue be it Material Science, Mechanical, or Aerospace. However, it has been...

Could somebody please tell me if we can apply young modulus theory to a slinky spring, or can only be applied to a rod when strenched?If possible to apply to the slinky spring, how can we calculate the elasticity of that slinky spring?by the way what is the process by which slinky springs are...

This is a problem I've been working on... I did some things wrong, and syntactically incorrectly, and just messy. Could you help me out? Tell me how I can write this more syntactically correctly, and cleanly, please? Also, I realize that some might believe this would be more appropriately put...

Hi, Can anyone explain what would be the maximum shear force experienced by a rod if equal and opposite torques (T) were applied at each end? In comparison to a rod that was fixed at one end and had a torque T applied at the other end would the maximum shear experienced by the rod be...

Hello guys, Check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393063410/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Do you any other good book on the subject?

I think I'm missing something really simple here due to being out of school for a while: In a free body diagram, if I am trying to take the sum of torques about point 1, how should I deal with an applied torque at point 2? See attached sketch

I'm planning on doing a BSc in applied physics next year, but my real passion has always been history and archeology. The reason I chose for applied physics and not history or archeology is because the odds of getting a good job after the study are much greater. Now I was wondering, what are...

Hi everyone, i was asking myself , can engineers be considered applied physicist ?

I'm a sophomore applied physics major at Columbia Engineering, and have recently thought about going into nuclear engineering as a career. I'm extremely interested in physics and am pretty sure that it's a pretty hot industry since many people working in nuclear engineering are entering...

Hi all. I'm trying to become acquainted with thermal dynamics. I thought I had a fairly good handle on the idea gas law, PV=nRT, or PV=mRT, but I came across a problem involving the throttling of an idea gas, and the solution was totally not what I expected. Referring to picture where gas...

I was wondering what are the main types of "applied math" I could choose to study in grad school and how I can know which one I would enjoy most? Math Classes I loved were: linear algebra, number theory, intro to real analysis, discrete math, intro to abstract alg Classes I disliked...

If a force is applied to a box, and the box is not displaced, no work is done on the box, right? But to apply the force, don't you use up calories which is a unit of energy?

Homework Statement A car is moving at an acceleration such that a 5kg block in the back of the remains still on a ramp at 35*. The ramp is frictionless, whereas the coefficient of friction between the truck and the road is μ=0.1. If the truck weighs 12000kg, what is the force the trucks...

Hi everyone, I signed up just to ask you guys a quick question, as most of you will know infinitely more than I do on this subject. I'm not an astrophysicist, I have a strong interest in the universe and cosmology, but it's more of a hobby for me than a central focus, so I apologise in...

I have received some admissions decisions from the graduate programs that I have applied to, and I am stuck with a tough decision to make. I am hoping to hear from those who may have found themselves in a similar situation or someone who may have relevant industry experience who can shed some...
