An inclined plane is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle‚ with one end higher than the other‚ used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Inclined planes are widely used to move heavy loads over vertical obstacles; examples vary from a ramp used to load goods into a truck‚ to a person walking up a pedestrian ramp‚ to an automobile or railroad train climbing a grade. Inclined planes are widely used in the form of loading ramps to load and unload goods on trucks‚ ships‚ and planes. Wheelchair

Sam Preusser Mr. Staude U.S. History 25 April 2013 Truman Doctrine VS. Marshall Plan The years after the war brought times of disagreement and argument. The United States worked at this time to contain and control the spread of communism. During the years of WWII and the Cold War this idea was prominent and an issue America thought must be solved. Their were two strong attempts to fight communism. These attempts were the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These ideas go hand in hand making

Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated

This number is called Avogadro’s number in honour of Amedeo Avogadro. Full name‚ Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro was an Italian physicist‚ born in Italy on August 9‚ 1776. Avogadro graduated in law at the age of 31. He then dedicated himself to physics and mathematics and soon after starting teaching at a high school. In 1811‚ he published an article that contained his hypothesis. Later in 1820‚ he became a professor at a university‚ but lost his job in 1823 due to his involvement in the revolutionary

The speed of light is a well-established premise in physics. Centuries before‚ it was often heard by scientists like Johannes Kepler and Rene Descartes that the speed of light was infinite‚ having the ability to travel at any distance immediately. A notable physicist named Galileo Galilei was one of the first scientists to ponder this phenomenon of light‚ and how to determine the speed of this unknown. In order to do so‚ Galilei formulates an experiment with an assistant. While standing on one hilltop

Also‚ Isaac Newton had made contributions to mathematics‚ physics‚ astronomy‚ and optics.

With the Principia‚ Newton created a mathematical framework for physics and conceived basic laws of motion and of universal gravitation that unify a diverse array of phenomena both in the heavens and on earth (Weisburd 51). The revolutionary power of the Principia and other Newtonian works is felt to this day: His celestial
