What will happen when you put a drop of water on wax paper? I think that it will just sit there and do nothing. First I put a drop of water on the paper Second I watched it to see what it will do Finally I wrote down that it just stayed still My hypothesis is correct What will happen when you move the water around with a toothpick? I think it will go flat and dissolve in the in the wax paper. First I picked up the toothpick Second I moved the water around with the toothpick Finally

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

“The Falling Man” Looking at this picture‚ emotions rush through your body making you remember the terrible event that happened on Tuesday‚ September 11‚ 2001. The story behind this picture has to do with the most horrific day in history; the day terrorists crashed two planes in the towers of the World Trade Center. Fifteen seconds past 9:41 a.m. on September 11‚ 2001‚ Richard Drew took the picture of the now world known famous‚ “The Falling Man.” He jumped head first‚ like an arrow shooting

Obviously I wasn’t considering jumping out of the short one hour and five minute commercial flight from Huntsville International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport‚ but I had made up my mind. Quite a few months before this particular day‚ my friend

atomic and sub-atomic particles (electrons‚ protons‚ and neutrons) can be used in diffraction studies. If one wants to know something about the wavelengths that make up a particular type of radiation (i.e.‚ the spectrum of radiation)‚ one could use an object such as simple diffraction parallel-slit grating in the form of a spectrometer. For example‚ molecules‚ atoms‚ and nuclei typically radiate or scatter radiation that corresponds to discrete frequencies and hence discrete wavelengths‚ λ.

of the many questions people wonder is‚ why gravity differs on different planets and moons. In order to understand the answer of this question‚ one must know what gravity is. Gravity is the force of nature that attracts one body towards the center of the Earth‚ or any other physical body that has any kind of mass. Gravity is also in charge of the interactions that occur between particles and collections of matter‚ like the stars and the planets. Gravity depends on two different things‚ the masses
