Janay Wright-Parks Physics-Sports Paper Brad Ingram 29 March 2013 Physics of Gymnastics In the world of sports‚ physic concepts are being applied every day. Most people who play or watch a sport don’t think about the physics behind it all. When I watch a sport like gymnastics‚ I am always amazed at how a person’s body can bend and twist in the way that gymnasts bodies do. It is nothing but physics. Angular momentum is the main physics concept used in gymnastics‚ and this can be seen in events

Cosmology By: Jarrett Leuta-Douyere A New Look at Sports Growing up in a family filled with athletic desire to be great at whatever sport we would participate in and understanding simple physics in Cosmetology‚ I never realized how much physics comes into play when playing sports. We don’t call it physics when were playing‚ football‚ basketball‚ baseball because it’s just a natural feeling when were throwing a ball or trying to tackle someone. When we began to learn about Newton’s law of Gravity

Week #7 Chapter 10 Static and Current Electricity Exercises (p.221) 6. Strictly speaking‚ will a penny be slightly more massive if it has a negative charge or a positive charge? Explain. A negative charge because when it is negatively charged electrons are added to the penny. 17. What is the voltage at the location of a 0.0001 C charge that has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J (both voltage and potential relative to the same reference point)? Potential = energy Charge = 0.5 J / 0.0001

1. Properties of light Reflection The speed of light is measured through the equation: v = λ f. However‚ it turns out that when light is reflected off a surface its speed stays the same. This was first proven by Sir Isaac Newton. Under the assumption of perfectly elastic collision‚ the laws of reflection follow from the laws of motion. To demonstrate‚ consider a particle traveling towards a flat frictionless surface whose horizontal and vertical velocity components are: VX and VY. When the particle

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

I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties
