Hello Definition and 276 Threads

I signed up because I have a physics question, but a message in my box told me to introduce myself, first. Hi, I'm GM from Roseville, CA. I am not a professional scientist, but physics is currently my favorite hobby. I am currently puzzling over a black body problem.

Well I'm a mexican student in the middle of my undergraduate studies in physics; I have good grades and enjoy it a lot, but I find myself a little lost when someone asks about what I'm going to do later in my life as a scientist or an academic or whatever. I came here for some guidance and I'm...

I'm currently teaching Physical Science And Physics at a Kansas City, Kansas Area High School. Been teaching Math and Sciences for a few decades.

Good evening, afternoon or morning. I guess I need to say something more that huh? Well let's see, my friends call me Gadgett (Gadg for short) and I am an OIF veteran with a bachelors level education in the world most useless major, Graphic Design but despite my short comings I've always had a...

Hi dear world, :woot: I'm Shinzu, Um, well introduction doesn't work quite in alignment with me. Being the wackiest I'd concern restricting myself just to an everyday learner who'd want to grasp more things concerning physics and quantum mechanics. Aspired to unravel several mysteries of this...

I am interested in finding logical answers for complex biochemical issues that have baffled Professors and I would like to say a big hello to everyone 8-)

I have a private pond and want to reduce the number of crappie. I took a model 57 hold 'm electric fence controller and via inverter connected it to a 12v deep cycle battery. I tested it at home in a 1 gallon mason jar of water with two "hot" leads in water and the ground to a cabinet hinge and...

hello i am just a kid attempting to learn as much as i can about subatomic particles including quantum physics.

Hello, I'm Rose. I'm studying in Master Physics. I want to know many things in physics, but It will impossible without asking someone for many thing that I don't know yet. That's why I join this Physics Forums. I am glad to be a member of this forum. Thanks from Indonesia.

I really love physics but I am a simple amateur. Hope you all will be patient with me. Good luck.

I'm Kyle and I'm an AP Physics C: Mechanics student. Today I learned that I need a 5 on the AP exam to get credit for PHYS131 at the school I want to go to, so I need to pick up the pace. I've gotten great grades in the course since this year started, but I'm nowhere near a 5 level. I'm hoping...

Hey guys. First I would like to say, I am joining this forum simply to discuss theoretical design. I know the basics when it comes to physics however if you see me post anything, its typically off the top of my head from a world of imagination. I've always been one for theory, and making it...

Hey everyone, i just thought i would introduce my self, my name is *removed* I live and study in rural Australia. I am currently studying a bachelor of Civil Engineering and aspire to pursue a matsters in structural engineering. I joined these forums to improve my mathematic skills, seek...

Hello there, I'm here to learn and discuss on various and random topics of Physics. Mostly Quantum Physics and Relativity.

Hi everybody I'm happy to be part of Physics Forums

This is my "Hello Thread". Hi scientists, I hope we could work and help us each other. Happy new year! See you soon...

Hello world. I am Nüradh, I prefer to keep anonymous, but I'll explain a little bit I am Nüradh, I'm 20 years old and I currently study at high school, I have physics as my major subject. I've recently begun the second half of my time in high school, which brought about a lot more physics...

Hey, I'm an adult who finally realized that physics is great and tries to recall (or rather learn for the first time) what he learned (or rather was supposed to learn) at the school. I've been reading some basic things around since it's kind of hard to figure out where to start this journey...

Hello there, My name is Sara and I have an electrical engineering degree from an American university and a physics degree in the field of nanophysics from a United Kingdom university. I would like to move to the field of astronomy and astrophysics. I joined this forum to learn, share...

I am currently a grade 10th student stuying in Germany. I was never interested in science subjects such as Math, Physics or Chemistry, until I heard about Einstein's theories and the book " A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking. Now I have a totally different view about those subjects I...

I need help. I don't know what to do. Every time I see a crackpot posting on PF I'm going into an ecstatic state of utmost glee. I gobble up the convoluted effusions as if they were celestial ambrosia. I wallow in the pungent fragrance of confused and misapplied terminology. I feel my soul...

1. Here is the equation http://i.imgur.com/EKdWnws.png 2. The attempt at a solution The first part I've done correctly. So here's my thought process: To get the period I used T=2 * pi * sqrt(r3 /GM_E) T=5521s W(angular velocity)=2pi/T W=1.138*10-3 rad/s V=WR where r is 6754000m...

I need to detect wool and linen on the same dress, i don't want to cut peace of the dress and check it, and i have to check a lot of dresses in a short time. please help me :confused: thanks

PLz find the attached image. Each link weight is given. the 50 kg weight with link rotates about the red hinge point. angle is as shown. please help me out its urgent. need to calculate the torque about the red hinge point.

Hi! I'm new here and seek some puzzles for my mind.

Hi there, I am George and I found physics and chemistry very interesting. I would like to meet similar oriented people to advice me to start a new hobby!

Are there any books or website where I can see how to connect arduino and labview together?

hello! I'm new here, looking forward to make new friends This is my first post! I just finished my high school and now I'm going to join an undergrad physics program I have interest in research and I've even read the article written by a PF member about being a scientist it answered most of...

My Yahoo is changing their site to the point that, after 12+ years, I have decided to leave. After many searches for a replacement, I finally ran across a site called uStart.org that has much of what I had with Yahoo. My concern is that a Google search on uStart returned a lot of hits about it...

Hello, My name is Mark, a non-traditional undergraduate student at Okstate. It's a pleasure to finally join this forum! My question is: where may I post "personal theories"? I thought maybe under "Beyond the standard model" but the rules specifically say no personal theories, but it...

He seems to be a rather grumpy fellow...

Hello everyone :) Been reading your forum for a couple of years as a visitor and decided to take this opportunity to thank everbody for there exceptional intellect and insights. I have been a science fan since a child, but lack the formal education to pursue such vocations. Most of my knowledge...

This is not a homework question, I'm not trying to get an answer to solve this problem. I just need to know what this kind of algebra one problem is called. http://www.flickr.com/photos/84652508@N06/8590390983/in/photostream

So could you please help me demonstrate some inequalities? Please! They want to prove them without calculating the integral. 1/3<=integral from 4 to 7 (x−3)/(x+5)dx<=1Thanks!

Homework Statement Homework Equations x(2x^2 - 5) = -1 The Attempt at a Solution This question has been flung at me without any pre-examples how to solve it. I have only dealt with equations like 2x^2 + 5x - 12 = 0. I know that the equation above should be set to zero, but how...
