OThe Physics of Airplanes Background: At any given moment‚ roughly 5‚000 airplanes crisscross the skies above the United States alone‚ amounting to an estimated 64 million commercial and private takeoffs every year (source: NATCA). Considering the rest of the world ’s flight activity‚ the grand total is almost incalculable. In order to understand how airplanes fly‚ we must break down the parts of an airplane and understand the physics behind the airplanes most important components: the engine/propeller

EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol

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

people fail to realize the importance of physics in athletics. People who are untrained in the scientific field may believe that an athlete’s performance level is solely based on their skill-set‚ such as strength and training. However‚ one’s ability to employ physics concepts is the true determinant for success. This is imperative to dancers; most movement and technique can be improved dramatically by following Newton’s laws accordingly. By utilizing key physics concepts‚ a dancer can improve by locating

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

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
