Have you ever wondered how trajectory and the pressure in the atmosphere affects the spin of a soccer ball? I don’t really play soccer that much‚ but I’ve never understood why the ball curves in the air when you kick it. For my science project‚ I wanted to learn about the pressure in the atmosphere and how it affects a soccer ball in flight. I believe that understanding Bernoulli’s Principle may help to explain why the trajectory affects the spin of a soccer ball. Daniel Bernoulli never imagined

the discoveries made in physics during the early 20th century. The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of the physical concepts and theories of modern physics. These concepts will aim to make you understand relativity‚ quantum mechanics‚ particle and nuclear physics. Most of these topics are now known as “Non-Classical Physics”. A few brilliant scientists were able to see and put together new theories that changed our understanding of the universe forever. This is not an introductory

been put to rest‚ but the quantum theory remains sound. The Bohr model was a primitive version of the Hydrogen atom. The Bohr model is still commonly taught to introduce students to quantum mechanics. The Wave Model was created by Schrodinger and he had written the wave equation to describe the new mechanics of particles. The model was more of a mathematical model rather than a physical model. The equation is useful to predict some properties of objects‚ but is not able to describe the object itself

Einstein Albert Einstein contributed to physical science by discovering the theory of relativity. Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity stemmed from an attempt to bring together the laws of mechanics‚ with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory. This led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He also indulged himself in the investigation of the thermal properties

At the end of this subject‚ students should have gained an understanding of kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies‚ and free vibration of single degree of freedom mechanical systems. The three immediate learning objectives of this subject are: Understanding basic mechanics concepts such as rigid body‚ force‚ motion‚ work‚ energy
