How did you find PF?
I found this forum while doing random search on Google.
I studied physics about 30 years ago. I am interested machine design, mechatronics, innovation.
I am computer programmer and MCU programmer.

If it's a schoolwork question (even for self-study), start a new thread in the Homework Help forums and show your best efforts to work on the problem. You will get great tutorial help at PF as long as you show your own efforts first.

If it's a general technical question or a problem from your work, start a thread in the appropriate technical forum and again, show what you have done so far to try to figure out the problem. It is also helpful to post links to what you have been reading to try to figure it out.

Enjoy PF! :smile:

Thank you forr you detailed reply. Not a schoolwork question. In fact it is a question I know answer, I asked to one mechanical engineer, an aircraft engineer, a physicist, an associate professor and professor on mechanical engineering. They all replied same as me. I think we may forget something, because of that I need other experienced eyes and brains.

By the way, the problem is about circular motion, very very simple. Today or tomorrow I will write it here detailed.

Thanks.

We have seen your new thread, and it is under Mentor review (so it may not be visible in the general forums at the moment)... This process can take up to a day.

Thanks, I was afraid of that I violated a rule.

Hello Berkeman,
So sorry I could not reply yesterday night, I was busy with an electronic project.

Thanks a lot for your approval of my thread.
 

FAQ: What are the key topics in modern physics and engineering?

What is quantum mechanics?

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. It explains how particles such as electrons and photons behave and interact with each other.

What is relativity?

Relativity is a theory in physics that explains how the laws of physics apply to objects moving at very high speeds or in strong gravitational fields. It is divided into two parts: special relativity, which deals with objects moving at constant speeds, and general relativity, which deals with objects in accelerating frames of reference.

What is the role of mathematics in modern physics and engineering?

Mathematics plays a crucial role in modern physics and engineering. It is used to describe and model physical phenomena, make predictions, and test theories. Many complex equations and mathematical concepts, such as calculus and linear algebra, are essential tools for understanding and advancing modern physics and engineering.

What are the key topics in modern engineering?

Some key topics in modern engineering include materials science, robotics, renewable energy, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence. These areas of study are constantly evolving and have a significant impact on various industries, such as aerospace, transportation, and healthcare.
