Homework Statement
Flywheels are large, massive wheels used to store energy. They can be spun up slowly, then the wheel's energy can be released quickly to accomplish a task that demands high power. An industrial flywheel has a 2.0 m diameter and a mass of 260 kg . Its maximum angular velocity...

My high school does not offer AP Physics C, but another in the district does. I'm considering taking the AP test at the other high school to make placement go smoother.
I just finished my junior year in high school. In college, I hope to major in physics and was interested in the honors versions of freshman introductory physics. These all have the prerequisite of a calculus-based mechanics course and use Kleppner as their mechanics textbook.
I have so far only...
Thanks a lot for the input, radium. Single-choice early action for Princeton and second round early decision for UChicago would probably make a lot of sense. Is anyone highly familiar with the research opportunities at these institutions? Is there a significant difference in the number/quality...
I'm currently a high school junior, and I'm highly interested in studying biophysics in college, my eventual goal being to get a Ph.D. in it. Out of all the colleges I've visited, Princeton and the University of Chicago have been my favorite.
Which of these schools would allow me the best...
I'm looking at colleges right now. I'm really interested in biophysics, so I've been planning out what I biophysics curriculum would look like at various schools. However, most schools do not have a biophysics major, so I've had a hard time planning out what classes to take in addition to the...
