Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light

location of the elements in the diffraction grating that produced them. Conversely‚ if we know the structure of the grating‚ we can deduce properties about the incident light‚ in particular its wavelength. This will be our task‚ in this first optics lab exercise. The analysis of diffraction patterns is used extensively in the sciences to provide information about the microscopic structure of molecules‚ atoms‚ and nuclei. In addition to various forms of light (gamma rays‚ x-rays‚ visible light‚ infra-red

The Vector equation of a plane To find the vector equation of a plane a point on the plane and two different direction vectors are required. The equation is defined as: where a is the point on the plane and b and c are the vectors. This equation can then be written as: The Cartesian equation of a plane The cartesian equation of the plane is easier to use. The equation is defined as: One of the advantages to writing the equation in cartesian form is that we can easily find the normal

Computer as a tool Nicholas O. Williams Raster Images vs. Vector Images Assignment: Discuss the differences‚ advantages and disadvantages. There are two major types of images used by graphic design programs‚ they are called Vector and Raster images. This paper will seek to highlight the many differences‚ advantages and disadvantages respectively. Raster images are complex renderings made up of thousands of little dots or pixels. The word raster has its origin in Latin which means ‘rake’

Because the work is directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force while power is indirectly proportional to work. Therefore we can conclude that power is also directly proportional

There are many energy sources that can be readily converted into electricity. In Australia‚ most power plants burn a fuel‚ such as coal‚ or use the energy of falling water to generate electricity on a large scale. Electricity is also relatively

Physics (from Greek)‚ i.e. "knowledge‚ science of nature"‚ from φύσις‚ physis‚ i.e. "nature"[1][2][3][4][5]) is a part of natural philosophy and a natural science that involves the study of matter[6] and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[7] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[8][9][10] Physics is the field of science that studies the physical world. From the large (galaxies

Aim • To calculate the SHC of water • To see how accurately I can measure a known quantity Research Question • Will the experiment carried out give us a good approximation of the SHC of water? Hypothesis • The result we will get as the SHC of water will not be exactly the same as the literature value‚ but will be a very close figure to the literature value of the SHC of water as there will be some limitations to our experiment. Variables Independent: temperature of water Dependent:
