The Physics Of Soccer Soccer is a sport that’s very challenging and during the course I’ve found physics can also be described as challenging. As far as I was concerned soccer and physics were both challenging and that was all they had in common‚ consequently upon researching them both this I found that I was wrong. For me this was nothing new because I’ve found that physics isn’t a subject that can be skimmed‚ but rather it has to be studied to the finest detail. Those small details if missed can

PHYSICS II ELECTRICITY‚ MAGNETISM‚ SOUND‚ AND LIGHT SERIES CIRCUIT In this unit you’ll begin learning how to analyze circuits. Circuit analysis means looking at a schematic diagram for a circuit and computing the voltage‚ current‚ or power for any component in that circuit. Closely related to the task of circuit analysis is the task of troubleshooting‚ which means figuring out what is wrong in a circuit that is not working correctly. Analyzing and troubleshooting go hand in hand; when a circuit

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher
