Hiya! I spend most of my free time thinking about physics and concepts. I want to strengthen areas where my knowledge is weak as I do not learn or digest information linearly. This presents some problems when trying to digest mathematical concepts or I probably would have felt inclined to study...

Are there any alternatives to tracker for tracking moving objects? Paid or free Most of my issues with tracker are related to working with large files or videos that are long, it is really slow or it just doesn't work

Yes,, I know, it may not be the most obvious route but I had already submitted the subject preference list to the university and there is no way to change it. (Therefore, I beg you to not make me regret my choice, since, there is just no way to revert it) . The math I am going to learn from...

First I calculated the volume of all of the logs... V = 13((pi)(.225)^2(g)) = 3.94 Then wanted the mass of the logs m = density(Volume) density = .6(997) m = 2356 Then calculated buoyant force... Fb = (997)(3.94)(9.8) = 3928 Then set this equal to weight of people and logs 38496 = ((number...

I was looking for videos, or post on how to do a physics home work problem. Ended up finding a similar post on this website. It didn't quite answer my question, but I thought I could post here to figure it out.

I am trying to calculate the size of coolant tank required to feed multiple grinding stations. I have a total of 12 taps all with flow rates of 20L per minute. All taps would operate at the same time. The tank would be open topped and 500mm tall. The tank also requires a dirty side and a...

Hello. I am joining this forum in hopes of expanding my physics knowledge and improving my accuracy in my current AP Physics Class. This class has been awful. I am normally top of my class, including AP Calculus BC, so I have a firm grasp of studying and mathematics. I am hoping to be a...

During my B.S./Physics I largely missed course # 3, which (back then) was entirely based on the Berkeley Physics Series, Volume 3 (Waves), by Dr. Crawford. I would *really* like to retake this course, using this book (even though it apparently is out of style nowadays). Unfortunately, Dr...

I am currently a junior (soon to be senior) undergraduate physics major and decided to join the physics forums because I have already gotten a good amount of help and understanding just by perusing past conversations without an account, and because I know that physics is not a subject easily...

Hello, I am Derek. Physics has always interested me since childhood. How does the TV work? How the Ceiling Fan work? All these questions have always puzzled in my childhood. To seek these, I have wandered a lot which led me to the physics. Despite being a med student, the love for physics has...

I tend to love watching videos by a yt content creator called "Mentour Pilot" his videos debrief aviation accidents, explains lots of the physics involved and engineering. One of his recent videos had me thinking for a little while now and I would like everyone's opinions. This video is about...

Some time after my PhD I decided to study physics (again) on my own and with my own (maybe bit slow) pace. I do not work in the field, changed to IT but I kept physics as my hobby. The self study really brings me joy, can take it slow, rethink with no rush on terms, exams, etc. Currently, trying...

Fx = 0 = ABcos(a)+BCcos(b)-BDcos(30) Fy = 0 = ABsin(a)+BCsin(b)-BDsin(30) == Fx = 0 = ABcos(a) + 3.2737cos(b) - 3.738 Fy = 0 = ABsin(a) + 3.237sin(b) - 2.158 But i cant find a third equation to use. I've tried a+b = 90 but that produced a number of errors. Thank you. Edit: angle b is the...

I live in the SF Bay Area. I graduated in 2019 with a B.S. in Engineering Physics from UC Berkeley. My college experience began with me failing to actually sign up for orientation, and then contracting tonsillitis which lasted my entire first semester. The combination of these two things...

Hello, I graduated from UC Berkeley's College of Engineering with a degree in Engineering Physics in 2019. I performed extremely poorly academically, made no friends/connections, and have not been employed since then. I will be posting a more detailed post asking for some advice.

I’m a physics major in college looking to get into the nuclear energy field

I have been taught topics in high school circling around Newtonian mechanics and some basics of work and energy, waves, geometric optics, current and circuits and some poor electrostatics and unclear concepts of modern physics. I realize that I have significant weak areas in Physics and I aim...

I hope to have a nice time in the physics forum. I am interested in much about the laws of physics with respect to our daily lives and hope to achieve more and increase my knowledge in physics with the physics forum. Thank you for accepting my registration.

TL;DR Summary: A fluid on a vertically vibrating plate will, upon reaching a certain frequency and acceleration, produce standing waves on its surface. These are called Faraday waves, first described by Michael Faraday in 1831. Faraday waves are still an active area of research today, more than...

for 4kg box: Fx = T m1a=T (4) (2.50) = T 10 = T for 6 kg box: Fx = Fa - T m2a = m2a - T 15 = 15 - T 15-15 = T 0 = T I assumed the tension would be the same for both boxes, they are supposed to be, so what did I do wrong and is the answer 10 or zero?

I am interested in many subjects; history, physics, biology, art... well, just about everything. Why? Because the only truly useless knowledge is the knowledge you don't have. My interest in the sciences mainly derives from three sources: 1) my Dad's ongoing interest, as a layman, in sub-atomic...

I'm an ordinary college student who likes physics, engineering mathematics, and electromagnetism. I'm not sure because it's my first time participating in an overseas forum, not a domestic one, but I look forward to your kind cooperation.

Hi everyone! I stumbled across this forum looking for help on my first year physics homework about ~5 months ago and have been lurking ever since. I really appreciate the nature of these forums in that the answer to a problem is rarely (if ever) explicitly given, but instead people try to poke...

Hi, so this is a lab in which we used an air track at an angle and a glider to gather some data through various trials, ultimately to calculate "g". L_glider = 10.15 cm x (photogate activation point) = 547.5 mm or 54.75 cm x_0 (release point) = 1800.0 mm or 180.00 cm (Δx)_midpoint = | x - x_0 |...
