SUMMARY

The discussion centers on undergraduate programs in Theoretical Physics, highlighting that European universities predominantly offer specialized programs in Theoretical/Mathematical Physics. In North America, students typically pursue an Honours Mathematics and Physics program as an alternative. The conversation emphasizes the importance of narrowing down to specific fields such as astrophysics or particle physics for graduate studies. Additionally, a user seeks assistance with a physics problem involving a car's braking force.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Theoretical Physics concepts
  • Familiarity with Honours Mathematics and Physics programs
  • Knowledge of specific fields like astrophysics and particle physics
  • Basic physics principles, including kinematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research top European universities offering Theoretical/Mathematical Physics programs
  • Explore Honours Mathematics and Physics programs in North America
  • Investigate specific fields within Theoretical Physics, such as astrophysics and particle physics
  • Study kinematic equations and their applications in solving physics problems
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate physics students, prospective graduate students in Theoretical Physics, and anyone interested in exploring specialized physics programs and problem-solving techniques.

I am currently an undergrad studying physcics and was wondering what are some of the college that offer theortical physics
thank you

The only Universities that provide Theoretical/Mathematical Physics programs are in Europe. A symmetric program in North American Universities would be an Honours Mathematics and Physics program.
 
Theoretical physics is a way of approaching a field, not a field itself. You need to narrow it down to a field (astrophysics, particle physics, optics, nuclear physics, etc) and then you can look for programs that concentrate on the theory (I'm assuming you mean for grad school, since those aren't majors in the US for the most part).
 
hye..how to solve.a 1000kg car is traverlling at 72kmh-1 when the brakes are applied it comes to a stop in a distance of 40m..what is the average brakig force of the car?
i try v2=u2+2as but cant?help please..
