OThe Physics of Airplanes Background: At any given moment‚ roughly 5‚000 airplanes crisscross the skies above the United States alone‚ amounting to an estimated 64 million commercial and private takeoffs every year (source: NATCA). Considering the rest of the world ’s flight activity‚ the grand total is almost incalculable. In order to understand how airplanes fly‚ we must break down the parts of an airplane and understand the physics behind the airplanes most important components: the engine/propeller

Cricket is not a game that most Americans know about‚ however‚ it is a popular sport in Australia and in other British parts of the world. This sport is not unlike any other sport in the area that it involves a great deal of physics. However‚ this paper will focus on the aspect of bowling the ball and the batters reaction to this. When comparing Cricket to other sports that most Americans know‚ the closest match that can be found is baseball. For example‚ a ball is thrown toward someone with

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

Murphy Grand Canyon University: Physics 1 Lab September 5‚ 2013 Testable Question: Circular objects; what happens to the circumference as the diameter changes? Hypothesis: As the diameter increases‚ the circumference will increase in a proportional linear way. This is because as the diameter increase‚ the object will as well. Variables: Independent- The diameter of the circular objects. Dependent- The circumference of the

We can relate physics to softball in many different ways. It is actually hard to not think about the game of softball without some physics in mind. Specifically‚ the ideas of momentum and energy helps define the way softball works and why it works. Momentum Running: When running the bases in softball‚ there is a lot more to it then the average person would think. While we run the bases‚ we are changing our momentum by applying more force‚ the force of friction‚ onto the ground which causes more

Motion NCERT Chapter Questions and Answers and other Q & A Q1: An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacement? If yes‚ support your answer with an example. Answer: Yes an object can have zero displacement even though it has moved through a distance. It happens when the object moves back to its original position i.e. final position coincides with the starting position. Example: Suppose an object travels from O to C and then comes back to original position O. Total

Physics can be related to sports and fitness on many different levels. When you lift weights‚ play sports or even buy athletic equipment you probably don’t know how much physics was really put into any of it. Weightlifter’s need to know which workout is better. Also the equipment athletes use relate to physics. Manufactures design equipment for athletes‚ which involve physics. The manufactures need to think about what will make the object better and what materials will cause the equipment
