From what I think, any physical value has at most 3 parts -
1)Orientation - Or more explicitly, the angle that it makes with axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. Transforming will not change this value.
2) Position - This is the translational stuff...exactly from which point to which...
I am currently a physics math major with a strong interest in solar energy. I am early enough in my degree to switch majors. My intention is to pursue graduate study but I want to make sure I am on the right track.
I wanted to know what was a better fit for career researching and working...
Homework Statement
3. A 3.0 kg block starts from rest at the top of a 30 degree incline and accelerates uniformly down the incline, moving 2.0 m in 1.5s.
a. find the magnitude of the acceleration of the block
b. find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline
c...
I know that over here it's not very common to quit school after receiving your bachelor and not continue for your master's degree, so your chances of finding suitable work with only a bachelor's degree are slim. What's it like in the US? I heard just having a bachelor's degree there is pretty...
im taking physics for the first time next year.(ill be in 11th grade.)can anyone suggest things to read or try or anything? and suggestions would be appreciated.:smile:
I have this crazy idea to make an air hockey table out of some junk laying around the basement.
Before I waste my time messing around with an old table and vacuum I figured I would brush up on my basic physics to figure some stuff out.
Lets say we want to lift up a lightweight hockey puck...
I'm having a great deal of trouble finding resources for high school level wave tutorials, every tutorial i come across is either poorly made or more into physics 12 or first year university stuff. If anyone could link me a site or article it would be much appreciated...

I will be applying to graduate school this coming winter, and I'm having difficulty deciding what field I should be directing my effort towards.
My background: I have a bachelor's a physics, and my senior project was to write an N-body program that simulated galaxy collisions with the inclusion...
Cannot Figure This Out?
How would I calculate the total electric field energy assuming that an electron and a proton have a radius of 1.00e-15 "This is a hydrogen Bohr Atom as well"
A human eyeball is about 2 cm long and the pupil has a maximum diameter of about 5 mm. What is the speed of this lens?
f-stop = 2 cm / .5 cm
f-stop = 4
is this it?
I'm not sure if I found the right formula in my book
thanks
[SOLVED] Computational Phyiscs
Can anyone tell me what computational physics is all about? I'm "into" computers in general and was planning on doing a computer science degree until my interest in physics turned me away from it. The idea of a career that includes both computers and physics would...
