Applied Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi everyone! I'm kind of lost lately... I finish my undergrad in Pure mathematic last semester. I got accepted for master in mathematic. But I don't know what field to choose.. I'm afraid I won't be getting any job after (and sadly with my student loan, I kind of need a job hehe). I was...

Homework Statement Two blocks of mass m are suspended on the ends of a rigid weightless rod of length L1 + L2; With L1=20 cm and L2= 80 cm. The rod is held horizontally on the fulcrum shown in the diagram and then released. Calculate the accelerations of the two blocks as they start to move...

am having difficulty in understanding this problem and frankly I don't know how to approach it, please assist on how to solve itThey say that an elastic rod is modeled as the half time[0,infinity). initially it is at rest. at the end point x=o, a force f(t) is applied then they give me the...

I have a question that has been puzzling me for a while. When I drive my truck and accelerate hard until 25 mph then put the clutch into roll freely, the truck will climb a few more mph before beginning to slow down. This is on flat ground or even a slight uphill. The way I see it is as...

Hi, what is the difference between engineering physics, applied physics, traditional engineering(mech E, elec E)? Thanks!

Dear Experts, I am 4th year undergraduate who did experiments for drag reduction in swim cap. I had applied hydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings on my cap. My final results are shown in attachment below. The no cap has more drag than body with swim cap without coatings. There is not much...

It's a simple question: Why is Ienc in Ampere's Law in a toroid equal to µ0NI where N is the number of loops around the toroid? Why is I N times greater when the wire is looped around the toroid? When you take a random wire with current and you change the geometry of the wire into a loop...

Textbook problem -- Applied Mechanics textbook ideas? Due to in-availability of my textbook, I took a mechanics book by Egor Popov "Engineering Mechanics of Solids". The problem is, it doesn't have any answers for even numbered questions. One has to buy a solution manual to see them, which is...

If I understand Logarithms correctly it is the orders of magnitude? Either exponentially growing or exponentially decaying. I've heard that exponential growth is the same as the growth of cancer cells. But what are some other real life applications/examples of logarithms? Thank You

Hey guys, I'm kinda new here, and I have a bit of a perplexing personal question. I'm a first year engineering student right now, nothing too crazy, just the jr. college level. But the more projects we do, and the more the class progresses, the more I find myself leaning more toward theory and...

A little background about myself: I was admitted as Biochemical engineering major at UCD out of high school. I had no confidence in my mathematical ability at the time, but i applied for engineering because i believed I wouldn't be employable otherwise, which I still believe to this day...

If a positive charge is pushed towards another positive charge then the potential energy of the system increases. When negative charge attracts positive charge why doesn't the system gain potential energy? In both cases force is being applied?

Hello guys! I really need some help here. I will get my BA in mathematics in two months. I want to get a master degree in math online. However, I'm not sure what should I get. Here are three programs I saw. Master in applied mathematics, MA in math, and Ms in math. I'm not quite sure what...

I am currently an undergraduate student at a department of applied mathematics. Its a 4 years (240 ects) program in which I can take lots of physics classes directly from the department of physics of my university as well. The thing is that I start to believe that I like more to do physics...

Hi! This is my first post in this forum, hopefully I will get some guidance :) Long story short, I am pretty much set in doing a double major in Chemistry and Mathematics. The thing is, I'm really having trouble choosing between Applied Maths and Pure Maths major. I have completed my...

I know that if a force is applied off center (as in: not in the center of gravity), one can split them up in an equal force and a moment in/about the center of gravity. But what about a torque applied offcenter? Maybe this image clarifies my problem: So the force will be split op in a...

This is just something I'm wondering, if we apply enough heat to an object, and since the speed of the molecules inside it is directly measured by temperature, will the molecules inside the object move fast enough to reach the escape speed of the planet that it is on? I know that this is the...
