The sport of tennis has multiple opportunities in which the study of physics can go in depth. The sport’s court‚ racquet‚ ball‚ and even the player contain unlimited amounts of physics in which a person can go more into detail with as they study. While it is true that these all contain some form of physics‚ the racquet and how it interacts with the ball is where most of the physics is apparent. Starting with the racquet a person is able to see four main areas of focus. These focuses consist of the

An inclined plane is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle‚ with one end higher than the other‚ used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Inclined planes are widely used to move heavy loads over vertical obstacles; examples vary from a ramp used to load goods into a truck‚ to a person walking up a pedestrian ramp‚ to an automobile or railroad train climbing a grade. Inclined planes are widely used in the form of loading ramps to load and unload goods on trucks‚ ships‚ and planes. Wheelchair

Sam Preusser Mr. Staude U.S. History 25 April 2013 Truman Doctrine VS. Marshall Plan The years after the war brought times of disagreement and argument. The United States worked at this time to contain and control the spread of communism. During the years of WWII and the Cold War this idea was prominent and an issue America thought must be solved. Their were two strong attempts to fight communism. These attempts were the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. These ideas go hand in hand making

Determining a Person’s Power through height/work Power is denoted by the formula‚ P = mgh/t. In lifting a bag‚ work is done. So in order to get power we recorded our weight‚ measured the weight of the bag‚ and the time it took to lift a bag. The experiment is done in two ways 1) with constant time and 2) with constant height. In this way‚ we can compare and know if there will be a difference in the amount of power exerted by a person if either time or height will be constant. The formulated

roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller coaster to a stop by friction. Since roll coasters don’t have motors they need to be pulled up by a chain up the first big hill. No engine is required because of inertia. The roller coaster won’t last forever. Two

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

extensions including atomic and nuclear physics‚ cryogenics‚ solid-state physics‚ particle physics‚ and plasma physics. Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Scalars and Vectors Physics is a mathematical science. The underlying

The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an
