    Aerospace Engineering Space Systems Design Careers?

    I plan on switching from electrical to aerospace engineering in the winter and aerospace engineering at my university is basically split into 4 parts, the one that seems to interest me the most is the space systems design), but I'm curious if there is any aerospace engineers here who are in that...

    Which engineering field has more job opportunities?

    I really don't mind learning physics or math, that's actually one of the reason why I went into engineering; I just really didn't know which program out of the two I should go in. I'm going to do more research on this though.

    Which engineering field has more job opportunities?

    I've gotten accepted to a university for Engineering Physics. I plan on going there in September; I also heard that you can switch from Engineering physics to electrical engineering after first year without having to take any "missed" courses. Basically my question is which field has jobs of...

    How Is Work Related to Changes in Kinetic Energy in a Rocket Car's Deceleration?

    i am no expert in physics but i think you made mistake. shouldn't it be 54^2-648^2 not the way you wrote it since it is slowing down. you subtracted v initial from v final... the formula is v final minus vinitial

    How Is Work Related to Changes in Kinetic Energy in a Rocket Car's Deceleration?

    A rocket car is traveling at 648km/h[f] when the parachute is deployed and does 51.64MJ of work to slow the car down to a speed of 54.o km/h Homework Equations w = delta ek w= m(1/2mvf^2 - 1/2mvi^2) m= w/0.5(Vf^2-Vi^2) The Attempt at a Solution i derived that equation from...

    Relative velocity of a plane question

    gee thanks... i drew a vector triangle already... that's how i got the velocity in the east west direction...

    Length contraction (no calculations)

    LOL i don't know what the lorentz transformation formula is. (i hate physics now too confusing)

    Length contraction (no calculations)

    i am wondering when i read about planets or solar systems that are like 1million lightyears away, those that take into account length contraction, because if the light is traveling at the speed of light then the distance it has to go will contract. also another (possibly) stupid question...

    Relative velocity of a plane question

    an aircraft must fly at a velocity of 150m/s[n35e] if there were no wind to reach its destination. a wind from the west of 25m/s is present for the whole flight. calculate the velocity the pilot must maintain to reach her destination in time. i started by finding the velocity of the plane in the...

    Help needed, no calculations just theory light and waves

    I am having trouble explaining this picture and i am hoping someone online could answer it. I took a picture in a computer lab of 2 monitors, you can see the flurescent tube lightbulb reflection on both screens. the monitors are off.(they are the exact same brand no difference between them...
