Investigatory Projects in Physics Repulsorlifts as a Method of Stable Magnetic Levitation | Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed

(1775-1836)‚ a French physicist‚ founded the science of electrodynamics now known as electromagnetism. * He was also first person to develop measuring techniques for electricity in order to perform his experiments. Ampère built an instrument utilizing a free moving magnetized needle (a compass) to measure the flow of electricity. Experiment Apparatus Professor Faraday Michael Faraday’s Experiment (the induction ring) * When he passed an electric current through one coil he induced an electric

adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers. The sport involves jumping from a tall structure‚ being a building‚ bridge or crane‚ while secured to a nylon-cased rubber band8. While the sport is enthralling‚ it is extremely dangerous and requires knowledge of physics and physical phenomena. Knowledge of the energy transformations involved in bungee jumping are required to complete calculations‚ which determine safe jumping conditions. This proposal will explore the parameters and ideas of possibly operating a

between the armor of the enemy knights also they were used to throw hot tar to attack there enemies. It was also used to launch infected bodies into enemy camps to spread disease. Although they are very hard to create‚ they use very simple forms of physics to complete their task of destruction. The catapult has a basket or cup on the end of a movable arm strong enough and large enough to hold the weight of the object it is intended to hurl. Tension is applied to the arm‚ whether that be applied by
