Circus performers are people of great courage. They have to make a living out of entertaining people that pay good money to watch them and want to get their money’s worth. They have a lot of pressure from that‚ as well as peer pressure from their fellow performers. Not only do they have pressure from that‚ they have to worry about the very acts being preformed from playing with swords and fire to hanging from a wire hundreds of feet in the air. If their not focused on what they are doing‚ they can

Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed

TAP 601-1: Brownian motion Brownian motion (named after the botanist Robert Brown) is the presumably random drifting of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) or the mathematical model used to describe such random movements‚ which is often called a particle theory. The experiment of Brownian motion in a smoke cell is a classic experiment that gives strong circumstantial evidence for the particulate nature of air. Materials: ✓ Smoke cell‚ incorporating a light source

Module 2 Honors Extension: The Physics in Swimming Physics is defined as the branch of science concerning the study of matter and energy and the interactions between the two. Physics tries to explain the nature of the world around us‚ how things happen and why. Swimming displays some physical properties‚ such as buoyancy‚ drag resistance and propulsion. We swimmers are at a constant battle to stay afloat‚ while fighting through the water and propelling ourselves forward‚ and we do so using technique

The Importance of Physics to Society Physics - the study of matter‚ energy and their interactions - is an international enterprise‚ which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The support of physics education and research in all countries is important because: 1. Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature. 2. Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances

the swing of a pendulum will be the star of this chapter. First‚ I will describe how the weight of the bob in the swing of a pendulum affects the amount of swings that a pendulum can swing in a certain amount of time. If the bob is light‚ like a penny or a paper clip‚ the pendulum can swing a large amount of times because the pendulum does not have a lot of weight to carry at the end of it. If the bob at the end of the string is heavy‚ like a half-dollar or a quarter‚ the pendulum cannot swing as

Applications of Physics in Everyday Life By Steve Johnson‚ eHow Contributor Even walking manipulates physics‚ allowing people to proceed in a state of "constant falling." Physics extends well into people’s everyday lives -- imprisoning people within its forces. From each step a person takes to the evolution of the body‚ physics has several long-term as well as short-term effects and uses. For everyday living‚ many technologies have even exploited the rules of physics. 1. Simple Mechanical

Physics Investigation: What factors affect the period of a pendulum? By Tanya Waqanika In this investigation‚ I will be looking at which factors affect the period (The time for one complete cycle‚ a left swing and a right swing) of a pendulum (a weight that dangles from a pivot so that it can swing freely). I will do this by tying a metal bob to a length of spring and dropping it from a certain height and measuring the time it takes to complete an oscillation‚ changing a variable for each of

Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down
