Is it better to study Maths or Physics in terms of jobs.
180 posts and 9 images submitted.

>>7798865
Just study what you like you nigger
>>
Maths, you can go to finance easier.

*EASIER, you can do it as well with physics, but it's more "expected" for math majors.

The more you know - the more you get.
Science doesn't matter. If you want to know less but get more - neither would help you.
I would chose math lol.

Why aren't we talking about KIC 8462852?

They just proved it's not comets.

>From the early 1890s to the late 1980s, KIC 8462852 has faded by 0.193+-0.030 mag. This century-long dimming is completely unprecedented for any F-type main sequence star. So the Harvard light curve provides the first confirmation (past the several dips seen in the Kepler light curve alone) that KIC 8462852 has anything unusual going on.

>...

>Within the context of dust-occultation models, the century-long dimming trend requires 10^4 to 10^7 times as much dust as for the one deepest Kepler dip. Within the context of the comet-family idea, the century-long dimming trend requires an estimated 648,000 giant comets (each with 200 km diameter) all orchestrated to pass in front of the star within the last century.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1601.03256

>If Schaefer’s work holds up, the cometary hypothesis to explain KIC 8462852 is deeply compromised. We seem to be looking at the author calls “an ongoing process with continuous effects” around the star.

I TA a course if that counts as an "instructor" since I someitmes do lectures by myself.

would you feel the acceleration in space? how would you measure your momentum since there's no gravity?

So many things are wrong with this question, I can only assume you're trolling.

> no gravity
if theres nothing pulling you, then you wouldn't have any momentum you dumb fucking frogposter

>what is a reactor

>>7807690
I'm not. I also got the best grade in Physics 3 years ago but I dont remember anything.
I think I should start with "why you feel acceleration in a car?", and I think that's because of your momentum which is variated by the variation of speed of the car

How old are you, 12? You just learned a "ground-breaking" fact at school and want to show off to your internet friends? Bet you didn't know that soil comprises mostly of bones of people who dies 70 years ago or earlier either.

I'm sure this is easy for the most of you, but i'd just like to know how i get from the first step to the other. Thanks in advance!
13 posts and 2 images submitted.

Format might be weird, but I'll try my best.

As a rule with limits, you can extract constants. So (x^2)/(-x * ln(3)) has the constant [-ln(3)] in the denominator
Rewrite it as (x^2)/(x) * (-1)/(ln(3))
And extract the constant to the front of the limit, and simplify the limit to x {x =\= 0} and viola.
You are left with the second step

Hope this helped.
>>
>>7807305
Cancel out the x and pull out the constant.
>>
>>7807305
It's just a property of limits [eqn] \lim_{ x \to a } c f(x) = c \lim_{x \to a} f(x) [/eqn] Which if you think about it makes a lot of sense. So in this problem [eqn] \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} - \frac { x^2 } { x \ln (3) } = - \frac { 1 }{ \ln(3) } \lim_{x \to 0^{+}} x [/eqn] Where the last equality is just the application of the above property and cancellation of x.

I've watched 8.02x videos, tried reading from book, but still couldn't understand the difference between voltage and emf. I am stuck and helpless. Help me, kind people.

I understood electric field, potential, capacitance, and dielectrics very well but when circuits came they confused me. Could anyone please guide me?

Pic unrelated.

emf is open loop voltage

You mean emf is the potential difference between the terimals of a battery not connected to anything?

Also, how does a potential differnce exists across the terminals?

>>7807364
yes
charge separation, result of chemical reaction

Well /sci/ I think it's time we talk about the near future of energy. Is CCS worth putting effort into or is it just another scientific brag from the fossile fuels department. Discuss and be friendly.

I read an article on this. So they did a study and determined all of the geoengineering schemes proposed to deal with global warming would be hideously expensive and be totally worthless or would actually make the climate worse. Like irrigating the deserts to create forests on them to sequester carbon could cause the oceans to die and other areas of the world to turn to desert, because there is no more dust being blown off the desert and into the oceans for micro-nutrients and air to form raindrops.

The conclusion was only halting carbon emissions entirely would avert global warming trends.

Any astronomyfags around? I've been thinking about getting more serious with the hobby and buying a telescope (currently I own a pair of 12x70 binos, they're cool and all, but anything smaller/dimmer than M42 looks pretty meh to be honest). My main focus is nebulas and clusters.

I was thinking about buying an 8" newtonian (Sky-watcher, it's chinese shit, but there is nothing better where I live and I'm on a pretty tight budget) complete with a 15mm ploessl eyepiece and a UHC-S filter. Is that a fine choice? Please advise.

Many of the online astronomy magazines have extensive lists of telescopes for beginners rated for quality, cost and level of interest.
>>
>>7804308
I don't know man what kind of advise are you looking for? Anything less than 8inch would be bad for deep sky objects, so I guess you've got that covered. I would recommend 10inch for fainter deep sky objects. As for those Chinese telescopes I've got no idea if they're good or not, but going from experience with Chinese product's they are most likely supar.

Forgot to mention that you can get a 8inch Dobsonian cheaper than sky-watcher(at least where I've looked)

There are literally thousands of primary school tutors out there, anon. Out of every place, you chose here, and worst of all didn't even read the rules.

>>7807896
Base 8.

You can confirm by plugging 3 into the equation. You will get -2. So obviously, your base is 2 off to the left. I was of course, doing it in base 10 so 2 to the left of 10 is 8.

However, I never did a problem like this so to not end up like an idiot, I did confirm it using my calculator that can calculate in different bases.

Blue Origin makes historic second landing using the same rocket. The New Shepard rocket was the same one used in Blue Origin's first powered landing flight in November, the single stage rocket lifted from its West Texas launch site, flew straight up to an altitude of 333,582 ft (101.7 km), which is past the Karman line that designates the official beginning of space, then descended for an autonomous powered landing.

Dude, this is days old. You're not spreading the news. Of course we've already had at least one thread.

If you want to have a thread about it, first check the archive to see if there is one, then say something more than copy-pasting the basic story.

For instance, here's a thread that's already going, which you could have bumped, and which starts in a more interesting way than quoting the news:

It is possible to compress images using singular value decomposition and leaving out the smaller values. You will get "squares" as artifacts.

Is something similar possible for a dataset of voxels?

Yes, you will get "cubes" as artifacts.
