Flight is a phenomenon that has long been a part of the natural world. Birds fly not only by flapping their wings‚ but by gliding with their wings outstretched for long distances. Smoke‚ which is composed of tiny particles‚ can rise thousands of feet into the air. Both these types of flight are possible because of the principles of physical science. Likewise‚ man-made aircraft rely on these principles to overcome the force of gravity and achieve flight. Lighter-than-air craft‚ such as the hot

Miriam Yanez Physics 018-01 Literature Review 25 April 2012 Biophysics and protein dynamics have shaped our lives when it comes down to advancements in medicine. In living cells‚ proteins are the main components that keep the organism running at its best with every single protein and enzyme having their own function. The discovery of DNA‚ RNA‚ and other protein synthesis became the structures of life in a new perspective in the smallest ways leading to the continuing studies to uncover more

was made into 3D movie this year------the 100 anniversary of Titanic being sunk. The movie Titanic is close to the real accident happened on April 14th‚ 1912 and there’s a lot of physics involved in the movie. We have to admit that James Cameron really spent plenty of time on the causation of the accident. ① physics side note: Pressure (√) At the beginning of the movie‚ there is a group of people who want to find the invaluable “Heart of the Ocean”. They used submarine to get 3821 meters under

A River About The poet Attipat Krishnaswami Ramanujan was an Indian playwright‚ folklorist‚ and poet author who wrote in both English and Kannada. Ramanujan ’s work shows that cultural tradition in India is a conflict between the colonial English identity and post-colonial ethnic identities. As a poet‚ he is known for his avant-garde approach and atavistic poetic arguments rather than innate genius. His major works include: Hymns for the Drowning‚ Speaking of Siva‚ and A River etc. In 1976‚
