PHY 114: General Physics Laboratory Lab 1: Absorption of Nuclear Radiation 09/04/13 Abstract Nuclear physics was practiced to find the value of tau. After 8 trials of using a G-M counter and 8 different mass thicknesses of polyethylene‚ a graph was formed and tau was calculated to be 0.1931 cm^2/g‚ an error of 3.57% from the accepted value of 0.2 cm^2/g. Experiment was also used as an intro to using basic lab equipment‚ computer programs and calculating errors. With many different

TEN EQUATIONS THAT CHANGED THE WIRLD The brightest minds in history have used mathematics to lay the foundation for how we measure and understand our universe. Time and time again‚ we have proved that it only takes one simple formula to alter the course of humanity. Here are ten equations that did just that. ISSAC NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION Newton’s law explains why planets move the way they do‚ and how gravity works‚ both on earth and throughout the universe. First published in the

is based on the "Inflationary Theory"‚ which states the Universe is constantly expanding on an infinite scale. Mathematical odds dictate that since the Universe is infinite in size then there MUST be infinite versions or copies of everything from particles‚ to planets‚ to stars. So yes that means infinite versions of Earth ‚you‚ and me. Obviously in each version our lives will be slightly or drastically different(if we are still alive at all).The only thing separating us from ’them ’ is great distances

back together was occasionally a challenge‚ I was able to teach myself about a passion that I would later explore in life. My entire high school plan was to take as many advanced math and science courses as possible including advanced placement physics‚ calculus‚ and statistics. I decided at the beginning of high school that it was necessary for me to take those courses for the type of career I knew I wanted to pursue. Not only are math and science courses a necessity in the field of engineering

Exploring the virtual reality conjecture Brian Whitworth Introduction Computers today simulate entire worlds‚ with their own time‚ space and objects‚ but that our world could be so is normally a topic of science fiction‚ not physics. Yet that the world is illusory has a long history. In Buddhism‚ the world expresses the Universal Mind‚ in Hinduism it is Maya‚ the illusion of "God’s play”‚ and to Plato it was just shadows flickering on a wall1. That the world is digital is also not new‚ as to

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

movement of the planets and other celestial bodies‚ and their orbit around the sun. (The Physics Classroom) Since the sun has the greatest amount of mass in the solar system‚ all of the other objects and planets in the solar system are pulled towards it. In 1666‚ Newton laid down the foundations of his three laws of motion. These laws of motion are used in everyday life and laid the groundwork for future physics developments. His first law may be given thus: “A body remains at rest or‚ if already in

The ether‚ also known as aether‚ was believed to occupy all of space with a material that was considered to be a mechanically structured substance. It would be composed of particles that move in particular ways so as to produce the forces found in the phenomena of electricity and magnetism. This was on the basis of the work achieved by James Clerk Maxwell‚ who in the first developed the theory that predicted the existence and the means of producing radio waves in the 1850s. Before Albert Einstein’s
