    Comparing Compression strength of chocolates

    Hey there, I am currently working on a project to compare the compression strength of chocolates with different inside filling (caramel, nuts, coconut). I came up with the hypothesis that chocolates filled with nuts would require the most force to break while chocolates with coconut the least...

    43 years old and going back to school

    It's definitely not too. I have several older students ranging from late 30's to 60's in my electrical engineering classes. However I don't think you mentioned what you wanted to do with your degree? Is this just something your doing out of interest or do you seek a career in the field...

    Resources for Math Undergrads: REUs, Internships, etc

    Greetings, I am currently looking at applying to some summer REU's. My problem in doing so comes down to letters of recommendation. I don't feel like I really know any of my teachers too well, although I have received A grades in most of their classes. The few teachers I feel like I know pretty...

    Project ideas for modern physics class

    Greetings, First of all I believe this is the right forum as it isn't necessarily homework but more of a discussion about possible projects/experiments for a modern physics class. If it is in the incorrect forum could a mod please move it. I am currently taking a physics 3 course that...

    Multivariable Limit: Does Not Exist

    Homework Statement Lim (x,y)->(1,1) of (x^2 + y^2 - 2) / (x^2 - y^2) Homework Equations None The Attempt at a Solution not continuous.. so I thought I would approach 1 from both x and y axises lim x->1 (x^2 - 2)/(x^2) = -2 limt y->1 (y^2 - 2)/(-y^2) = 2 Does not exist...

    Schools Expelled from university. What do?

    Yeah he got kicked out for hacking, which can definitely get you some time. I said he had two options as I see it, get help or continue down his current path. Most of all I hope he gets help. If getting kicked out of school TWICE wasn't enough to persuade him what he was doing was...

    Rigid body rotation about a moving axis

    Note this is physics I This should be the right section as this is not homework.. Ok I'm having trouble understanding the concepts of rolling without friction, kinetic energy linear and kinetic energy rotational. I have a hard time following my professor in class and usually like to go...

    Why Does My Integral Substitution Result in a Logarithm?

    substitution, definite integrals, fundamental theorem of calculus.. Pretty much the basics of integration, we just started areas between curves and volumes. He has never done log functions for any integration problems so I am a little baffled.

    Why Does My Integral Substitution Result in a Logarithm?

    Homework Statement \int2x^3/2x^2+1 Homework Equations None The Attempt at a Solution I used substitution u = 2x^2+1 du/dt = 4x dt = du/4x \int(2x^3/u)du/4x cancel out the x to get \int(2x^2/u)du/4 solve for 2x^2 u = 2x^2 + 1 2x^2 = u - 1 \int((u-1)/u)du/4...
