Various types of sporting equipment are constructed with springs and elastics‚ in order to absorb a force or apply a force to another object. In the context of this investigation‚ the spring is utilised to propel an object. According to Hooke’s law

CURTIN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICS Physical Measurement 201 DRIVEN HARMONIC OSCILLATOR Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the various aspects of harmonic motion using a Driven Harmonic Motion Analyser (DHMA). The aspects that are investigated in this experiment is the spring constant k of two springs‚ the resonant frequency‚ the damping factor‚ and the relationship between phase and resonant frequency. The value of k of the first

THE POLIO VACCINE Amber Metoxen In 1952‚ The Polio epidemic happened‚ each of the 48 states at the time had rampant cases of Polio. The un-curable disease had taken over America. Poliomyelitis is an infectious viral disease that attacks the nerve cells and sometimes the central nervous system; it is caused by the destruction of nerve cells in the spinal cord. Polio often causes muscle wasting‚ paralysis‚ and even death.1 In surveys of what Americans feared most‚ Polio came in second to the

How Acetylsalicylic Acid was Discovered Acetylsalicylic Acid in its earliest form was a powder for the bark and leaves of the willow tree. Hippocrates‚ who lived sometime between 460 B.C. and 377 B.C‚ founded it. This “Miracle Drug” that was able to relieve pains was later looked into with further detail by Johann Buchner. He isolated a tiny amount of bitter tasting yellow‚ need- like crystals‚ and called salicin. By 1829 French Chemist Henri Leroux had improved the extraction procedure to

Newton came up with three laws of motion laws that describe how forces and objects relate to each other. the statement means that in every interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

Motion Perception Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of objects that move in a visual scene given some visual input. It is the way in which the human mind processes information regarding the movement of objects. It also includes the idea of processing the motion of the human body through its surroundings. In addition to allowing the mind to perceive which object is moving through which space‚ motion perception is also significant in determining the distance between
