Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones...

Hello. I'm brand new here. I am not a physicist or scientist. I'm insanely curious, though, and I think a lot. I'm somewhat of an amateur philosopher. I've been studying philosophy for the past 31 years. I'm also very interested in Physics and Cosmology. I'm particularly interested in how...

I am currently a first-year undergraduate student at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka. My majors are Physics, Chemistry, and Polymer Science & Technology. In our program, we study these three majors during the first two academic years. After that, we must select one major to...

I thought that I can get a function that is representing the values and compare it to the function of the sample bearing, is this right? or is there and easier approach?

I wanted to get some guidance on whether someone on here has decided to study a masters in physics while working as an engineer. I graduated last year july with a Mechanical Engineering Degree and currently work as a graduate engineer within an energy company. I found that throughout my...

Hey guys. So, exactly what it says: I am looking for different online options to take a Calculus-based Physics class with a lab component so I can get credit for it. It will have to be online since the colleges within a drivable distance from where I live don't seem to have any I can register...

TL;DR Summary: If Someone has a Bachelor's degree specialized in Nuclear Medicine OR Nuclear Technology, Can They Do Nuclear Engineering as their Masters? 🤔 There are several children who have done that in Sri Lanka. They now live in countries like Korea and Austria. Would it be difficult for...

My name is precious but I prefer to be called Smlyx 😊 for some unknown reason. I tend to have some difficulties in physics , so I do believe that this website will possibly help me to improve my understanding of physics

How did you find PF?: I'm using Instagram. My ID is soy_binac (Binur Abeysekara) Hi I'm doing a physics degree in University of Sri Jayawardena Pura, Sri Lanka. I want to know Can I do Nuclear engineering as my masters in future?

First of all, obviously, we need to get the velocity before entering the water from the energy conservation 1/2mv^2 = mgh -> v = sqrt(2*g*h). After entering the water, we still have a gravity force and also drag force. Since the velocity is low, I take a drag term as "-bv", where b is a constant...

So i was trying to find out what parsec actually is, but i just can't understand one thing, which is what is the object parallax is measured from? Like i know it's the star A being compared to background made of even further stars B, but because if the object (star A) were to be closer or...
