Hi, I just joined. I'm a Medical Imaging student and often have difficulties with the the physics aspect of the course.

So that I know, what category does radiological or medical physics come under?

Also, was there a better place for me to have posted this? :redface:

Thanks :biggrin:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'd put those questions in the "advanced Physics" forum.

And your general questions would go in "Forum Feedback and Announcements"
 
Radiological physics questions are usually put under the nuclear engineering section if they have to do with actual radiation protection. If they have to do with the physics of radiation, they would probbaly just go under physics, and medical physics could go under biology or physics depending upon the question.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
