Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet

.:First experiment:. .Problem: How will the length of a pendulum affect the amount of swings per minute? .Hypothesis: I believe that the length of the pendulum will affect the amount of swings per minute because when the string is shorter in length‚ there would be less friction between the string and the atmosphere‚ causing the string to go faster. .Materials: * String ( should be 70-90 cm long) * Metal washers * Stopwatch * Metric ruler * Stand * Extra washers (You will

Pit and the Pendulum essay Emily Springer pd.2 10.21.14 Poe’s Pit and Pendulum can relate to life where you are uncertain of what your future will be due to different obstacles you face.

What is Physics? Physics is a field of science that shows the interaction between matter and energy. It shows physical processes that help us understand better how our universe behaves. Physics also use scientific method that formulates and tests hypothesis which are based on observations and comprehensions. What are the different fields under Physics?

Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light
