"I think it’s critical that the stereotype that minorities can’t do physics be challenged."

Reducing phd production vis-à-vis minorities and women
From the OPINION section of the November, 1994 issue ofthe American Physical Society (APS) News, Vol. 3, No. 10, p. 5.
"…several APS Council Members supporting a campaign to reduce PhD production had characterized the recruitment and retention of minorities and women as, under the present circumstances, “immoral.”
In 1981 nearly 1000 physics PhDs were granted to U.S. citizens. Only 4 of these PhDs were granted to African-Americans that year (I was one of them). Similarly abysmal statistics could also be cited for other minority groups and women. Today, more than a decade later, the number of physics PhDs granted to an under-represented minority rarely exceeds 10 nationally….
Earlier this year, I attended the 8th Annual National Conference of Black Physics Students (Georgia Institute of Technology, February 10-13, 1994) and participated in a panel discussion on ‘Life After Graduate School.’After the panel discussion a student from Appalachian State University approached me and said, “this conference has given me the opportunity to see and talk to a black PhD physicist for the very first time. I had heard that they do indeed exist, but I never saw one. Having actually met several at this meeting has now encouraged me to go on for my PhD.”This young man’s situation is so typical of the minority student experience (mine included), that it makes imperative the need to continue aggressive recruitment/retention efforts. Without representation in the physics community, promising, young students have no role models to reflect their own aspirations and abilities."

Questions & Answers
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

please, I'm a physics student and I need help in physics

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
