Homework Statement \int_0^3\ (t-2)^1/3 Homework Equations Second of Fundamental Thereom of Calculus The Attempt at a Solution I don't know what to do first because I'm not used to questions with square roots. Once someone help me with the beginning, I can probably...

Hi Guys, First off i'd like to say what a site! having found it over the weekend it's given me hope that there may well be hope for me yet. I'm in Ireland and in first year of a BSc in Computer Network Administration, it's a new course and I am a returning mature student, it's about the...

can you suggest a book which teaches fundamentals and basis of fuandamental of mathematics

Although i do understand how current is same in electrical components in series.. but why does the voltage remain constant in parallel? Also since voltage remains constant in parallel, is that the reason change in voltage is generally chosen as the signal in digital circuits?

I'm currently in the first of my introductory physics course - PHYS 2425: Mechanics and Heat. This is the book we're using. Is it a good intro. textbook? Thanks. Fundamentals of Physics Extended, 8th Edition David Halliday, Robert Resnick, Jearl Walker...

Hi friends. Would you guys suggest me some very good books on the Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics? I'd ne higly obliged. Thanks.

Hopefully I am posting in the correct forum, but was reading through Cahill's 'Physics 12 for Western Australia' (2nd Edition) and reached chapter 3, regarding magnets and electricity. There was one paragraph which confused me, and seeing as the school year has not started yet, there is no...

To begin with, I'll let you know I am a student. I am prone to theoretical physics and philosophy over cold, hard, mathematical fact. That being said, I was recently intrigued by a few things I learned regarding the Big Bang Theory. I'm still really shaky on the topic, though, and I could use...

What are the fundamentals in today's science, is the Higgs field fundamental, in cosmology is the Metric fundamental?

I was reading my text and doing some problems and I realize that I am having a lot of issues understanding some of the basic stuff :( I have a few questions about charge, fields etc. Like given the charge on an object after charge has been transferred by rubbing, how do you tell how many...

Can anyone break down the fundamentals of air propulsion? thank you. I also have a few other questions.

My first assignment in chemical engineering basics class, and already I am having the problems! Homework Statement A horizontal cylindrical drum is 2m in diameter and 4m long. The drum is slowly filled with benzene (density = 0.879g/cm^3). Derive a formula for W, the weight in Newtons of...

I've been studying geometric algebra of the form promoted by David Hestenes, but I'm having trouble with the very basics. Most GA books, in fact, all GA books, begin as follows. For two vectors \mathbf{a}\mathbf{b}, they define the symmetrical inner product...

Can someone check this book out for me please, I'm a little confused at how something that's supposed to be so great could be so cheap. Perhaps because it's the older edition (6th and i think the 7th is out). Will the material be outdated or is it alright to get? I think it's a steal for 20...

Fundementals of Physics: Fifth Edition I'm in the 8th grade and have got my hands on a book called Fundementals of Physics: Fifth Edition By Halliday, Walker, and Resnick Published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. I right now have the first and second volumes, and by the way, I got it...

Hi all, being a long time since i last posted( because of exams). The question is what actually happens when i lift, let's say a tennis ball, up in the air? We say GPE increases, but what actually changes within the atom or what does it means went one object has more energy that another...

Consider a point in space r(vector) where the flux is isotropic; i.e., equal numbers of neutrons move into solid angles d(omega) about every direction omega. a) Show that the net current J(r) is zero b) Show that the magnitude of the current in any direction is just one quarter of the scalar...

hi! we are currently taking up our Fundamentals of Electronics subject and i just want to ask you guys if you know some websites that would help me understand more the Fundamentals of Electronics. Is there any tutorial site that you can suggest to a newbie like me? Right now we're on our...

In an SI engine, according to the book Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, knocking is produced due to the interaction of the shock wave and the expansion wave which together produce very high amplitude standing waves. My question is, in knocking is there only one shock wave or multiple...

anyone who uses this book?

it was a one semester class, so it is basic. note: i will not cover graphing and inverse trig function. i will begin by introducing a unit of measurement of angles, because i find them much easier to work with. that unit is radian. the name will make sense after the description. we have a...

Q. Water is boiled at 1 atm pressure in a coffee maker equipped with an immersion type electric heating element. The coffee maker initially contains 1kg of water. Once boiling started, it is observed that half of the water in the coffee maker evaporated in 25 minutes. If the heat loss from the...

Hi, I am confused with a solution of momentum in Rocket problems which published and solved in "Fundamentals of Physics, (Halliday-Resnick)". There are two different approaches to solving two similar questions. As i noticed, only difference is, the thing which flings. Fuel or tank(or any...

This is not homework question but more of a personal interest question. Can anyone help explain why it is that in the fundamental of a string the 2 impulses superimpose to form:

urgent! question from "Fundamentals of Physics, 6th edition (exhanced)"... :confused: Does anyone know what problem "N4" in chapter 34 is all about? (it's same as problem 48 in chpater 33 of the 7th edition.) it would be a great help if someone can just post the entire question. I'm only...

can anybody suggest me a book for knowing fundamental concepts of nuclear physics

is it a worthy cause to pursue the fundamentals of our existence? i am an atheist but when the final results of a long search are realised it comes down to two posibilities, we don't know ,or god created everything full stop, so that leaves me two options become religeous or stay ignorant, or...

I am trying to get a firm understanding of the fundamental reality of light, radiation, and photons, as modern science presently perceives it all.I am familiar with the two slit experiments and want to know if the particle/wave perception of light makes sense do to these experiments, or if this...

Hi Well, I am doing all the study of physics here by myself. I have The fundamentals of physics book, but all I need is the solutions to its problems. I have tried to search for such solutions but I could not find any, do you think you can help me in finding some of the solutions? hhegab
