Hey guys, i have been on the forums a fair bit (a little less lately since physics is reaming me), but havent been playing with you guys. I apologize for this, I have been in TAC for 2 years + so far (i think thats right) and have no intention of leaving, I just havent had time to play. As soon as I can I will get back to playing with you guys again, I would really really love to play in clan scrims/matches etc. I just havent had time. Rest assured though, Flak/Def isnt going anywhere unless you guys want me or force me to leave.

Of course not join up on vent sometime if you can

Oh that's right! Flak Magnet = DEFCON. I had forgotten. =TPhysics is fun, isn't it?

i guess me you and ky are the only ones here who think physics is fun tony. heh others are so weird -G

chem>physics>Biology

chem>physics<Biology

i would like physics more if for ONCE i had an instructor whom i could understand. Im not the sharpest tool in the shed so i need things broken down and clearly explained, not one teacher has yet to do that

And what exactly are you studying now in terms of physics?

Biology > All (degree level)

Just Ask KY.Good thing Physics is universal. Unlike politics.......

I think physics is fun

Physics is the most important of all the sciences. I say this because I'm studying to be an engineer, quite possibly the most important group of fields. Basically, we use Physics more than Biology and Chemistry. It's all about the Physics. 8)

we just moved into simple dynamics on a 2d plane, stuff im sure is equivalent to basic addition/subtraction Ky, but is hard as hell for me. I can barely manipulate a vector let alon juggle graphs, vectors, and kinematics simultaneously

Hayabusa - engineer of WHAT? There are plenty of field that you can be engineer... f.e nanothechnology, solid state optics, laser optics, semiconductor, low-dimension applications... etc. When i will finish the present course succesfully, my title will be MsC engineer, but it means only that i have completed university of science.

 

Flak - dynamics on 2D plane, eh? If you have hard times in that field, i could help you out sometimes. I think i still remember something from that area... Law of D'Alembert, Lagrange equations of 1st and 2nd degree, Law of Hamilton, Law of Maupertuis (vey nasty), Hamilton equation (this one is nasty buisness)...

Meh likeh meh Physics class. i kind of regret taking the class though since im not really learning anything, i think ive been in the class for 6 weeks now or something and i took a quiz today that said 3rd week quiz. um, i think my class is kinda behind for an ap class. i think my class is going at the same rate as the regular class, we are on chapter 2 in meh book! something about velocity and stuff. i dunno. i think i like chemistry better because we did easier math in that class.

Yes, there is much truth in this. Chemistry is only a mask of higher field. All the chemistry is about is quantum mechanics (for molecule interaction) and thermodynamics (all the reactions have thermodynamic theory behind them - Gibbs-Duhlem relation and such).

Likewise the biology. They are all just add-ons, higher layers of a more spacious field.

hayabusa is going in civil engineering and im doing comp. engineering. alot to do with physics.-G

Civil engineering? Anything to do with building things?

im doing comp. engineering.

... yay me too

Civil engineering? Anything to do with building things?

Yeah, I'll be doing Civil Engineering with an emphasis on structural design. Basically, bridges, buildings, and maybe some road/highway work. That's kind of a ways off, though. Right now I'm taking courses on thermodynamics and vector mechanics. Just the basics of engineering courses.

 

2-D vectors. Oh, I remember those days. Be prepared for 3-D vectors if you take college Physics, DEFCON. :shock: A whole new kind of pain. Then again, remember, every force can be broken down to x and y components (and z in 3-D), which makes things a whole bunch easier. Dunno if you've covered that yet, though.

Thermodynamics.... exam on tuesday.

 

Sometimes its simple not to use x-y-z plane vectors, but spherical vectors (simplifies the integrals). Mechanics also uses tensors (3x3 vector matrix) and (relative mechanics) - 4D vectors.
