Physics in Sports Introduction Billiards‚ Pool or 8 Ball are the names given to this game. For many of us 8 Ball is a game that we play at friends’ place or at pool houses‚ pubs and a good many other places. But when you are playing 8 Ball you would never really think about physics would you? But it is there‚ and it is in play everytime the cue hits the ball to make it curve‚ everytime you jump the ball over another or bounce it around the cushioned sides to get the white ball

Activity 3.3Making Linear Measurements Purpose How thick is one of the hairs on your head? Could it be measured accurately with a standard inch scale? If the smallest increment on an inch scale is 1/16 inch‚ then 20 average size human hairs could fit within the space of a 1/16 inch gap. The required degree of accuracy needed is dependent on the application. If you were to build a home‚ a standard inch scale is perfect for laying out walls and locating window openings.A dial caliper is a precision

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

Linear Model of Communication It is a one way model to communicate with others. It consists of the sender encoding a message and channeling it to the receiver in the presence of noise. Draw backs – the linear model assumes that there is a clear cut beginning and end to communication. It also displays no feedback from the receiver. • For example; a letter‚ email‚ text message‚ lecture. There are two main linear model which are used to explain the human communication process. They are .

spin‚ she will put her arms out away from her body to create a slow spin. As she tucks her arms in‚ she will spin much more rapidly. By moving her mass closer to the axis‚ she reduced her moment of inertia. Many practical applications for this experiment exist. Car manufacturers study it carefully to determine how quickly a car will spin out of control. Here‚ a higher moment is created such that the car is less likely to lose control in a spin. Many sports also use the concept‚ as in the example

Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor
