People sometimes engage in activities and are unaware that such activity involves physics. Physics is all around. For instance‚ you may go to Six Flags and do not analyze how physics helps the machines you ride in operate. Have you ever asked yourself how a roller coaster works? Would roller coasters safely run without the knowledge that physics offers us? The answer is no. Roller coasters are driven by physics; it mobilizes and gives its riders amusement through forces such as inertia‚ gravitation

Although they are very hard to create‚ they use very simple forms of physics to complete their task of destruction. The catapult has a basket or cup on the end of a movable arm strong enough and large enough to hold the weight of the object it is intended to hurl. Tension is applied to the arm‚ whether that be applied by elasticity or trebuchet‚ which is forced down and then locked in place. People

application of physics’ principles such as momentum‚ friction‚ gravity‚ and even momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity‚ meaning that it needs a magnitude and direction‚ and this expression is mathematically defined as p=mv. The momentum is equal to the mass times velocity. In wrestling‚ two colliding wrestlers are subject to a change in momentum. For instance‚ a wrestler will attempt to apply an impulsive force north for as long as possible and as

Galileo Galilee and Aristotle on the argument that weight did not affect gravity’s pull on the object. As we know today Galilee had proven Aristotle’s theory to be fallible because two objects of different masses do fall at the same rate. “Galileo’s measurements indicated that each body increased speed at the same rate‚ no matter its weight. This book is consisted of a lot of theoretical physics‚ which pretty much means is a lot of theories about physics whether it is right or wrong. Stephen Hawking

Introduction I have chosen to investigate a factor that affects the output of a potential divider circuit. A potential divider is resistors connected in series across a voltage source; used to obtain a desired fraction of the voltage. A resistor is a device having resistance to the passage of an electric current which affects the output voltage (Vout). The factors that I could investigate are changing the resistance of r2 and record the output (Vout)‚ or use a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and change
