I'm about to graduate next Fall and I'm stuck on deciding whatever to apply to grad school or not. I'm a physics major ATM and would like to go to grad school for physics but that doesn't seem to likely. I only have about a half a year of research experience (probably about 1.5 years by the time...

My chemistry textbook tries to explain the properties of solids and liquids with the kinetic theory. Is this not good? Should only gases be explained by the kinetic theory since one of the postulates in this theory is that particles exert no forces on each other. The book had to disable this...

hi I'm new here i wanted your help in solving these two questions i tried several times to solve them but the computer kept showing that the amswer is wrong ((on mastering physics site)) so please i need the answers to those problems and fast because the chapter will be closed in an hour. 1.A...

I have this problem for homework. Find the magnitude of the minimum force F that allows the window washer to move upward. Express your answer in terms of the mass M and the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g. The professor didn't go over multiple pulleys though so I am...

I wish to expand f(x) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{4} , -2 \leq x \leq 2 in terms of Legendre polynomials. I know that the transformation u = \frac{x}{2} maps the function onto the interval (-1,1), but how do I apply this transformation? Should I use g(x) = uf(x) or maybe g(x) =...

Is the formula only applicable during quasi-static processes? In other words, is it only true for a gaz at equilibrium?

I'm having troubles applying this theorem. IT states Given any integer n > 1, there exist a postive integer k, distinct prime numbers p1,p2,...,pk, and positve integers e1,e2,...ek such that n = p1^(e1)p2^(e2)p3^(e3)...pk^(ek), and any other expression of n as a product of prime numbers is...

1) Can we apply L'Hopital rule to the 4/0 form? eg \lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{x+4}{x^2} =\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{2x} =0 2) we know that 0/0 is indefinite form, but is 4/0 indefinite form?

I am not sure which subforum to put this in. Well my questions are. Question 1 Explain the nature of the electromagnetic radiation ( The electromagnetic spectrum ). Include all forms of e-m radiation and applications to aerospace. Question 2 Comment on the physical characterstics of...

Hello everyone! I had a question, I solved a problem very similar to this one but it has 2 real soltions which took the form of: y (x) = Ae^rx + Be^(rx) But now i have repeated roots: y(x) = e^(rx)*(A + Bx); HEre is the problem: Find y as a function of x if x^2 y'' - 11 x y' + 36 y =...

The Queston To people are sweeping the floor using identicle brooms. They each clear off the same area and in the process, do the same amount of total work. One persons holds the handle at 15 degrees above the floor, while the other hodlds the handle at 35 degrees above the floor. Which...

Does "natural selection" apply extra-galactically? Would the rules of natural selection (in this Universe, but possibly in a different galaxy) still apply? In that regard, how might they differ? Basically what I'm driving at is, if we were to encounter life outside Earth who popped in...

What formula would I use to solve for a and b? A 0.20-kg ball is held at rest 2.2 m above the ground, and then it is dropped. Apply the law of conservation of energy to determine the ball's speed after it has fallen (a) 1.1 m and (b) 2.2 m. Ignore air resistance. Answers (a) 4.6 m/s (b)...

Urgent Please! Well, my question is quite simple. I have to know what level of knowledge about thermodynamics, differential calculus and integral calculus do you have when finishing the High School in US. I have to write a proposal for teaching some special course here...so can you help me...

Does Bell's Theorem apply to non-local HV theories? I know that Bell says it doesn't, and he has included logic intended to make separability a requirement. But consider this argument: What does it mean to say there are hidden variables? Einstein said: "I think that a particle must have...

I have to evaluate \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{x-1}{e^{ipx/\hbar}} is this equal to \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\hbar}{ip e^{ipx/\hbar}} ??

(law of conservation of energy!) apply to electricity & magnetism... ok guys... first look at the PICTURE. (now imagine) suppose i put SUCH CYLINDRICAL magnet in zero-gravity, perfect vaccum. Then say, i rotate the cylindrical magnet about its axis. a). what should happen? ->well, there...

ok i need serious advice. Basically i have to make a decision now because 6th form starts tomorrow. AABC -AS results i have to make a decision whether to carry on with apply for physics for uni or go for something else, I am thinking just a general biological science degree. Thing is i really...

Your coffee, that is. :smile: Check all that apply. I was going to add more, but 10 is the limit. So... Species: Arabica Robusta Other Roast: Light Medium Dark Body: Heavy/Full Medium Light/Thin Acidity: Tart Sharp Clean Bright Aroma: Floral Woody Nutty Spicy Brew...

I was thinking about x=0.999.. so 10x=9.999... therefore 10x-x=9 when I asked myself does the distributive property apply to an infinite number of terms since 0.9999...= sum(9/10^(-k), k=1,2...)? Maybe I'm confused about what "=" means.

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np This apply in transformer. But I have read the following statement : ' Uasally , voltage ratio is larger than the turns ratio. This is because not all field lines from primary coil cut the secondary coil.' Why? Is that mean some field lines 'go' to surroundings? :rolleyes:

The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two fermions can have the same quantum state. My question is, if you could conceivable solve the wave equation for every electron in a large body, perhaps even the entire universe, does this mean that no electrons in that body can have exactly the...

For a particle moving at a small fraction of the speed of light, momentum is just rest mass times velocity, and since the rest mass doesn't vary, uncertainty in momentum is equivalent to uncertainty in velocity...but what would uncertainty in momentum mean for a photon? Would it be uncertainty...

[FONT=Arial Black]I have a presentation to do in Physics tomorrow on Max Planck. How does quantum theory and black body radiation apply to everyday life? I've looked everywhere for it but can't find anything! If someone could just point me into the direction of a website or something I...

Good day all, If I apply a force on an empty cardboard box, it will apply the same force on me. But why does it move? There must be a resultant force, but how? If I apply a larger force it follows that the box will also apply the same larger force to me. Can someone please explain to me why...

Im an aussie in yr 10 pathway 1 physics, so I am no Newton. However, does Newtons 1st law apply to a satellite and if so, how?(u don't have to anwer the how). Remember please keep it fairly simple.

I'm not saying they shouldn't, but the purpose of upholding the conventions, for any nation, is to ensure that their own people receive the same humane treatment they are affording their enemy. Now, not only is the US not fighting a nation that can be held accountable for violating the...

I am trying to work through the following problem: if function is differentiable on an interval containing 0 except possibly at 0, and it is continuous at 0, and 0= f(0)= lim f ' (x) (as x approaches 0). Prove f'(0) exists and = 0. I thought of using the definition of a limit to get to lim [...

Here's the question that is giving me problems PLEASE HELP! Leg Presses. As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you push the platform, you...

I want to put some permanent ink on disc golf discs, i don't know if any of you are familiar with these frisbee type discs... I was wondering what the best kinds of ink to use are and how to apply the ink to the disc so that it does not run. i have no experience in this type of work so it's...

Regarding what formula to use and how exactly is it modified to fit this problem: A 2.0KG coconut (initially at rest) falls from the top of a coconut tree 15 m high. What is the coconut's kinetic energy when it hits the ground? What is its speed? I went ahead and drew it out. I'm thinking...

While reading one of Starthrower's threads, I became quite confused. If an object moves at close to c relative to the earth, but without acceleration, how do we know that time slows down for it instead of our planet? An inertial reference frame is point that doesn't accelerate, correct? Both...

how to apply the ampere's law to the infinite solenoid... how we find the equation for the magnetic field ?? who can help...
