Physics - July 2006

I just decided to major in Physics. Right now I'm at a community college taking my preparatory classes for physics. I know many universities have physics departments, but which do you think is the best school to study physics? I'm thinking of going to UCSD but if there are other universities in different states that have good physics departments then I'm open to hear some of your comments on them.

I wanted to know what is the resultant force on a car moving around a bend. My teacher says it is the centripetal force and it is directed towards the centre. But wait a second! If the resultant force is acting towards the centre of the circle, then the car should not have been able to move round the circle and should have move towards the centre of the circle instead. Since a resultant force causes a body to move in a straight line in the direction of the resultant force. What do you think??

Whether light consists of matter or not, where does it get the energy to travel at such a high speed of 300000000 m/s? If light consists of matter, then it must need infinite amount of energy to travel at such a high speed? Anything massless can travel at such a speed. And another thing: electromagnetic radiation is made of what precisely. if it exists, it must be made of something. of what precisely?
