Yoyo is a toy that everyone has played at some point in their lives. Yoyo is more than twenty five thousand years old. It is the second oldest toy‚ after dolls. The yoyo was first documented to be invented in Greece with wood‚ metal and terra cotta.2 .The disks were decorated with the pictures of their gods. The yoyo moved to the Orient around 1800. The yoyo was used as a weapon in Philippines. Their version was large with sharp edges and spikes attached to a twenty foot long rope for flinging at

Physics of Sports A sport isn’t just about winning; it is also about strategy‚ how the game is played‚ and performance of the athletes. Physics is the last topic many people associate with sports. However‚ physics can be applied to every aspect of any sport‚ which is a study referred to as Sports Science. Components of this study include gravity‚ projectile motion‚ acceleration‚ force‚ vectors‚ etc. With new technology that physics in sports introduce‚ more possibilities of physical science can

Physics of Volleyball Physics is the study of energy and how it is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include

surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater the tilt of the plane‚ the faster the rate which an object will slide down. Thus‚ if a physics cart is released on at a steep slope‚ the acceleration of the cart is expected to roll down the slope at a faster rate. As shown in figure 1‚ when a cart is released on an inclined plane‚ there’s always two to four forces acting upon the cart – the

thought of all the physics that is involved in the game of golf? Golf is a game of precision and the smallest miscalculation could mess up a shot. (Real World Physics 2009) The physics of a proper golf swing is more complicated than you might think. You might think that this game is as simple as swinging a club and hitting the ball. But in fact‚ there is a lot more to it. First of all there is the importance of a good technique of coarse‚ but there is also a lot of interesting physics that goes into

Physics of a Guitar (Rough Draft) The guitar is the most played instrument in the music world. The oldest surviving guitar is thought to be made around 1776 in Italy by Gaetano Vinaccia. Though‚ the guitar looks like a simple instrument to construct or play there is a lot of physics behind the creation of it‚ from the strings to the air inside‚ the anatomy‚ and the sound spectrum. There are three types of guitars that are made: nylon acoustic‚ steel-string‚ and electric. Acoustic guitars produce

Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object is increased as it falls

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional
