ours‚ our findings can hardly pale into insignificance as errors and the cause of uncertainty are discussed and ways to improve the experiment are suggested‚ which can possibly spur further studies on this realm of knowledge. I. Introduction In physics‚ there are mainly two ways from which useful equations can be derived. One from them is to make good use of the mathematical expression of the theories formulated by our predecessors. An archetype to this notion is the Newton’s second law‚ which states

through a more advanced explanation. Roller coaster rides involve a great deal of physics. The ride often begins with a chain and motor which exerts a force on the train of cars to lift the train to the top of a tall hill. Once the cars are lifted to the top of the hill‚ gravity takes over and the rest of the ride works on energy transformation. There is no motor or engine that takes a train around the track. The law of physics is basically the engine of the train. At the top of the hill‚ the cars possess

he was many things)—an author‚ printer‚ politician‚ scientist‚ musician‚ inventor‚ and much‚ much more. He made significant contributions to many fields. However‚ he is probably best known for his work in science‚ especially in electricity and the physics of electricity. For the areas of science in which he worked‚ he is known for his studies in the theory of electricity and his useful inventions. These include the Franklin stove‚ bifocal eyeglasses‚ the lightning rod‚ and daylight savings time. One

force of gravity. - Surfers rely on weather conditions‚ their equipment‚ safety‚ and their techniques. - Low tide waves are faster‚ stronger‚ and tend to close-out - High tide waves are slower‚ and lose force. • Surfing has a wide background of physics • The amplitude in a wave grows as energy is added to it‚ and it shrinks when energy is subtracted from it. - The speed of the wave‚ and the buoyancy of the board is what keeps the ability to ride the wave and maintain speed. - When you are surfing

Sakib Khan Electric Eels – Physics The animal that is usually known as electric eel is in fact not really an eel but a freshwater species related more to the carp family or catfish family. These unique freshwater predators got their name from the immense electrical charge that they can easily generate to stun or even kill their preys and dissuade predators. Electric eels can grow extremely large which usually can reach as high as 8 foot long and weigh a great amount of 45lbs. In addition to this
