    Tangential Acceleration of pendulum

    blackboy- I am not a physics pro or homework helper, so take what I say with a grain of salt. At all times, there are only 2 forces on the pendulum, that of gravity, and that of the tension from the pendulum arm. The tension from the pendulum arm is always directed towards the center of the...

    One-dimensional motion with w/ aceleration dependant on speed.

    Thanks for the help Cyosis. You got me reviewing differential equations sooner that I figured :P. I got the right answer, but I am showing how I solved it in case others want to look at this example. (As an aside, could you explain to me how you know when to resort to differential equations...

    One-dimensional motion with w/ aceleration dependant on speed.

    Homework Statement The accelration of a marble in a certain fluid is proportional to the speed of the marble squared and given (in SI units) by a=-3.00v2 for v>0. If the marble enters this fluid with a speed of 1.50 m/s, how long will it take before the marble's speed is reduced to half of its...

    Physics Aspiring H.S./CC physics teacher advice

    Yeah I guess basically I wanted to know if it would be better to get the Masters of Education or the Masters of Science Education, for someone who wanted to teach physics at the high school and community college level.

    Physics Aspiring H.S./CC physics teacher advice

    I recently graduated with a B.S. in Applied physics, and I currently have two possible career routes that could satisfy me: finding a career in the applied sciences, or becoming a high school and/or community college physics and math teacher. This thread pertains to the latter option. I am...

    How many people are happy with their jobs\life

    You should be a nomad like Samuel L. Jackson at the end of Pulp Fiction, and just... walk the Earth. Seriously though, I think this is a normal feeling for many different types of people. Not to get too philosophical, but I believe it arises out of a realization, conscious or unconscious...
