PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

The Importance of Physics to Society Physics - the study of matter‚ energy and their interactions - is an international enterprise‚ which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The support of physics education and research in all countries is important because: 1. Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature. 2. Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances

Applications of Physics in Everyday Life By Steve Johnson‚ eHow Contributor Even walking manipulates physics‚ allowing people to proceed in a state of "constant falling." Physics extends well into people’s everyday lives -- imprisoning people within its forces. From each step a person takes to the evolution of the body‚ physics has several long-term as well as short-term effects and uses. For everyday living‚ many technologies have even exploited the rules of physics. 1. Simple Mechanical

The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an

The Ballistic Pendulum Crime Lab Physics You are a criminologist‚ and have been given a gun which has been used in the commission of a crime. Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there
