PHYSICS OF THE PAST One hundred years ago‚ in a poky apartment in Bern‚ Switzerland‚ Albert Einstein‚ then just a 26-year-old patent office clerk still working part-time towards his PhD‚ published five ground breaking scientific papers. Each of these papers‚ written during Einstein’s annus mirabilis ‚ has become a "classic" in the history of science: On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light ‚ which discusses optical photons and photoelectric effects.

The Physics of Badminton Gerard Ramos Physics 4A Prof. Scott Hildreth I would like to start off with a light introduction to the sport of Badminton. Badminton is a sport that isn’t too popular in the United States; some people would even say that it shouldn’t even be called a “sport”. The majority see badminton from a “back-yard sport” point of view‚ part of this is due to the lack of actual badminton court facilities in America‚ also because it’s a bit expensive to play. Badminton is not

Statistics Coursework Plan – In this project‚ I will be investigating how accurately students can estimate an angle size and the length of a line. I am investigating it to see if age‚ gender and mathematical capabilities have an effect on how accurate students can estimate a length of a line and an angle size. I will be using secondary raw data which is given to me to my teacher who has collected the data from other students. The accuracy of the data is unknown and also human errors are also

Who would have ever thought walking across a wire a certain distance from one point to the next would be considered illegal? Or psychotic? Most people tend to think it is a daring activity that is suspenseful and entertaining to watch‚ but the police think different. Police consider it trespassing and disorderly conduct and possibly an act of someone who is insane‚ at least that was the case for Philippe Petit in the 1974. Philippe Petit‚ a French man who is known to be quirky‚ adventurous‚ and charismatic

Theme: Resistance and Revolt Topic: The Sugar Revolution Were the changes that were brought to the West Indies as a result of the sugar revolution beneficial or detrimental to the development of the West Indies? The period 1650 to 1823 was referred to as the sugar era‚ during that time sugar cane was the most important and profitable crop that was grown in the West Indies. Most planters turned to this crop as they found out that the changes of the sugar revolution were very beneficial to them

ROA‚ ANNA MARIA D. BA PSYCHOLOGY 1 Physics and Psychology—Relationship Status: It’s Complicated but Related One way or another‚ all things in life are related to one another. The same goes with Physics and Psychology. These two Sciences are different in a lot of ways but are also similar in certain aspects. Physics is the branch of Science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. Psychology‚ on the other hand‚ is the scientific study of the mind and its functions

You throw the ball. You catch the ball‚" said a well-respected baseball manager by the name of Casey Stengel. Mr. Stengel was a baseball man‚ not a mathematician nor a physicist. Physics and mathematics can be applied to the game of baseball on every pitch‚ and on every swing of the bat. To understand the physics of the game‚ it is first necessary to look at the center of the game‚ the ball. Section 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules states that the ball must weigh between 5 ounces and 5 ¼

| Resistance and Electric Circuits | Lab 5 | | | The goal of the “Resistance and Electric Circuit” Lab was to determine the resistivity of a conducting wire given two known resistors. The main property of resistivity is that it represents how easily electrons can flow through a material. A Galvanometer is used to measure the current of the circuit and the Wheatstone Bridge is used to measure the resistances and determine the unknown resistance. This experiment also relates Ohm’s Law
