    Drag formula used to calculate bullet hole depth?

    Well firstly, you can use drag to calculate the trajectory and speed at impact. The heat of friction as the projectile is moving through the air should be negligible: the heat of the bullet is due to the firing mechanism. You cannot accurately use drag force to calculate how deep the projectile...

    Hi everyone, I have a choice between Stony Brook and Cornell for my undergraduate education in physics and I am at a cross-roads. I want to show my father that I'm a grown man and willing to allow him and his wife to remain financially not-bankrupt so to speak (also not psyched about the student...

    Programs A few questions about double majoring in Physics/Math.

    Hello everyone, next year I want to apply to Cornell and double major in Physics/Math. Is it worth it? Will double majoring in those subjects help or hurt my chances of being admitted? are they competitive or popular majors? How is the physics program at Cornell?
