I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties

Physics Laboratory Report Sample PHY 223 Lab Report Newton’s Second Law Your Name: Partner’s Full Name(s): Date Performed: Date Due: Date submitted: Lab Section: (number) Instructor: (Name) Introduction We verified Newton’s Second Law for one-dimensional motion by timing an accelerated glider moving along a flat track. We varied both the accelerating force and the mass of the glider. We found that for a given force the acceleration of the glider was inversely proportional to the mass of the glider

He went on to attend the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California‚ Berkeley and received a Ph.D. degree in 1972‚ and held a lectureship at Princeton University in 1973. During the Vietnam War‚ Kaku completed his US Army basic training at Fort Benning‚ Georgia and his advanced infantry training at Fort Lewis‚ Washington.

he obtained his Ph.D. in physics in 1942 with a thesis supervised by John Wheeler. His thesis dealt with advanced waves‚ which can be described as the theory of electromagnetic waves that travel "backwards" in time. His first lecture at Princeton on the subject was interesting enough to draw an audience that included none less than Einstein‚ Pauli‚ and von Neumann. After completing his Ph.D.‚ Feynman moved to Cornell University in 1945 as professor of theoretical physics. There‚ he met Hans Bethe and

were not really educated‚ Ohm ’s father educated himself enough to have Ohm home schooled. His mother died when he was ten. From early childhood‚ Georg and his brother Martin‚ a well-known mathematician‚ were both taught by their father in math‚ physic‚ and chemistry. Georg Simon attended Erlangen Gymnasium from age eleven to fifteen (Unknown.) His father‚ concerned that his son was wasting the educational opportunity‚ sent Ohm to Switzerland. Then in September 1806‚ he started as a math teacher

Isaac Newton is considered to be one of the greatest theoretical and scientific minds of our world. The year that Galileo died‚ Isaac newton was born in Woolsthorpe Manor‚ his family’s estate‚ in Lincolnshire‚ England on January 4th‚ 1643 as a premature baby. Isaac was very frail and sickly. The women and housemaids didn’t even hurry to bring medicine to help him because nobody expected him to survive. But miraculously he did survive. Isaac’s father‚ Isaac Newton Sr.‚ had died few months before his

This is the story of a man who lived a good life and contributed to the field of physics. He became personal friends with one of the smartest men in history‚ Albert Einstein. But as I said before‚ this is not the story of Einstein; it is about a man who helped create many breakthroughs which are still being learned about today in our schools. This is about Erwin Schrödinger‚ the guy with a cat in a box. Erwin Schrodinger was born on August 12th‚ 1887 in Vienna to a linoleum business owner. He was

There is a difference between physical science and physics. Physics[edit] Main articles: Physics and Outline of physics Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter[3] and its motion throughspacetime‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[4] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[5][6][7] Physics is one of the oldest academic

Albert Einstein was a physicist of the 20th century. During his research‚ he developed both theories of general and special relativity. These discoveries and contributions to science led him to receive the nobel Prize for physics. Some say his discoveries make him the most influential person of the 20th century for his field of study. Albert Einstein was born in Ul‚ Württemberg‚ Germany on March 14‚ 1879. He was raised in a Jewish household. He had one brother‚ Hermann‚ and one sister‚ Maja. Elementary
