it would be! I thought too soon and it actually turned out to be a really bad day. Getting up was a struggle. There was nothing holding me down to the floor so I tried to swim. It didn’t work. The worst part is‚ with such a small amounts of gravity in the world‚ nothing stayed where it was. The furniture started to float and moving was nearly impossible. I struggled to get to the bathroom by kicking myself from wall to wall. When I grabbed my toothbrush out of the air‚ I turned the faucet

The Pit and the Pendulum vs. Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment: Not Quite So Different Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” is about a man that is put through torture and Hawthorne’s “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” is about a doctor who gives four elderly people a taste of water from the Fountain of Youth. “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment” are definitely different as far as content goes but when examined a little more closely clear similarities can be found. Subtle literary devices

Design of an LQG controller for two inverted pendulums Objective: The objective of this paper is to design linear quadratic controllers for a system with two inverted pendulums on 2-d Plane. To this goal‚ it has to be determined which control strategy delivers better performance with respect to pendulum’s angle and the cart’s position. The inverted pendulums represents a challenging control problem‚ since it continually moves toward

In the “Pit in the Pendulum “ by Edgar Allan Poe the ere setting‚ vivid gripping imagery ‚ and vigurative language creates the mood of tension. Through the use of a bleak setting Poe stirs up the mood of suspense. When examining the cell for the first time the narrator describes it as "the entire surface of this metallic enclosure was rudely daubed in all the hideous and repulsive devices to which the ... superstitions of the monks have given rise"(Poe 567). Examining the area the narrator is trapped

stars moved on a celestial sphere around the outside of the planetary spheres. Copernicus: Heliocentric model of the universe placed the sun at the centre of the universe. In this model planets still executed uniform circular motion around the sun. Also the Moon orbited the Earth. Kepler: Heliocentric model of the universe placed planets in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The planets sweep out an equal area in equal time as they orbit the sun. The ratio of the cube of the radius to the square

The Physics of Badminton Gerard Ramos Physics 4A Prof. Scott Hildreth I would like to start off with a light introduction to the sport of Badminton. Badminton is a sport that isn’t too popular in the United States; some people would even say that it shouldn’t even be called a “sport”. The majority see badminton from a “back-yard sport” point of view‚ part of this is due to the lack of actual badminton court facilities in America‚ also because it’s a bit expensive to play. Badminton is not

Physics Investigation: What factors affect the period of a pendulum? By Tanya Waqanika In this investigation‚ I will be looking at which factors affect the period (The time for one complete cycle‚ a left swing and a right swing) of a pendulum (a weight that dangles from a pivot so that it can swing freely). I will do this by tying a metal bob to a length of spring and dropping it from a certain height and measuring the time it takes to complete an oscillation‚ changing a variable for each of

Processed Practical Report Pendulum Aim: To investigate the relationship between the length of pendulum and the time it takes. Theory: Hence the gravitational acceleration “g” can be calculated by this equation: T=2πLg T=2πLg (T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meter and g the gravitational acceleration in m/s2) Method: As stated earlier in the introduction‚ it was decided to measure the time for 10 complete swings‚ in order to reduce the
