Edgar Xiong David Blackburn Period 3 Physics of Flight One may wonder‚ what is flight? Many just stare up into the blue skies above and assume. while others devote their lives to discovering and finding a passion in aviation. Flight can be simply characterized as the [powered] gliding of an object through the air‚ but the wonders of soaring through the air does not simply stop there‚ instead‚ flight is a whole myriad of forces acting on each other‚ as so found out by scientists decades

Physics can simply be defined as the science that studies the mechanics of matter‚ motion‚ energy‚ and force. Dance in my opinion is a type of performance categorized as a form of art that involves the mind‚ body‚ soul‚ and a little something called physics. Dancing is a personal favorite hobby of mine‚ but I’ve never really considered the physics side of dancing which seems odd considering all the different movements and techniques that involve many principles of physics such as rotational inertia

The Wright Brothers; Inventors of the Airplane The incredible interest of Orville and Wilbur Wright in flying‚ was said to be initially sparked with their experience of a toy given to them by their father. The foot long toy “helicopter” was made out of paper‚ bamboo and cork with a rubber band to turn its rotor. The Wright brothers played continuously with their toy until it broke and after that they built one of their own. Wilbur Wright was born on April 16‚ 1867 in Millville‚ Indiana. He was

The type of physics that I will be presenting is a branch of Fluid Mechanics. Fluid mechanics studies the physics of gases and liquids. Hydraulics is defined as: "a branch of science that deals with practical applications of liquid in motion." Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary‚ via www.dictionary.com The science started over thousands of years ago with Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Archimedes (287-212 B.C.). Many European scientists also contributed to hydraulics‚ including

In the article “Why are Airplanes safe” the main idea is that out of all the transportation there is in the world‚ the safest is flying on a airplane. In the article the author Christine Negroni explains all the reasons why it is the most safe transportation because all the pilots are trained and the airplane is always checked for safety measures. Negroni supports her explanation by explaining all the details it takes just to be able to have one flight to be successful. The author explains

HG-1 THE HEAT OF FUSION OF ICE Introduction When heat flows into a system there are a number of things that can happen. One result could be a temperature rise. Or‚ the system might even catch fire. A third possibility is a change of state. As you know‚ matter exists in three states (or maybe four‚ the fourth being a plasma)‚ solid‚ liquid and gaseous. At different temperatures‚ the same substance may be in different states. Each state is characterized by the way the interatomic forces act. In solids
