    “Early that day the weather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water.” This is the first sentence of Raymond Carver’s “Popular Mechanics.” This sentence gives the reader a hint about something happened in the relation of couple in the story and it is falling apart. Then Carver says‚ “cars slushed by the street outside‚ where it was getting dark. But it was getting dark on the inside too.” Now this sentence makes the picture little clear‚ that there is some darkness in the house due to something

    scientists the tools to discover how to enter space. He discovered gravitational force and established the three Universal Laws of Motion. By tying these discoveries to the work Johannes Kepler and his Laws of Planetary motion‚ he established classic mechanics the beginning of modern Physics. This was huge in many ways as he proved definitively the heliocentric model first proposed by Copernicus. He also was the first to propose a set of laws that described the motion of all things in the universe. This

    Question: Suppose a meteor impact blows some extremophile bacteria from the Earth into the depths of a gas giant planet called planet X ‚ where they evolve into an intelligent species which practises physics. Do you think their physical theories would be similar to ours‚ and if so in what ways would they be likely to be similar? Your answer will necessarily involve some speculation‚ but make sure it involves some careful argument as well. Theoretical physics is one of many braches of physics that

    7/7/2014 1 Chapter 1 General concepts of stress and strain 1.0 Introduction • Strength of materials is a branch of applied mechanics that deals with the behavior of solid bodies subjected to various types of loading. Other names for this field of study are mechanics of materials‚ mechanics of solids and mechanics of deformable bodies. • The main objective of the study of mechanics of materials is to provide the future engineer with the means of analyzing and designing various machines and load bearing

    furthered wave particle duality‚ whereby physical systems (i.e.: photons in this case) can display both wave - like and particle – like properties and behaviours‚ a concept used by the creators of quantum mechanics. It was explained mathematically by Einstein‚ utilising work in quantum mechanics‚ and was developed by people like Max Planck. The photoelectric effect was not just an immediate discovery with a definite drawn conclusion. It involved many years of research‚ experimentation and debating

    Fluid Report 2 In the derivation of Bernoulli’s equation‚ the assumption of the inviscid and incompressible flow is used. However in the real case‚ the viscosity cannot be neglect and the density of the flow is not always constant. Thus Bernoulli’s equation is not always correct. For the lab‚ it is reasonable to assume the flow is inviscid and incompressible. Firstly‚ the pitot was placed at the center of the flow. The skin friction (effect of viscosity) is inversely proportional to distance
