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

Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor

3. Recent technological developments have allowed greater use of the electromagnetic spectrum 1. describe electromagnetic waves in terms of their speed in space and their lack of requirement of a medium for propagation In space (a vacuum) electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light‚ a constant equal to 3.00108ms1. Unlike sound waves‚ electromagnetic waves do not vibrate particles‚ therefore they do not need a medium (substance) to propagate (move). 2. identify the electromagnetic wavebands

GRAVITATION Kepler’s Laws Towards the end of the sixteenth century‚ Tycho Brahe collected a huge amount of data giving precise measurements of the position of planets. Johannes Kepler‚ after a detailed analysis of the measurements announced three laws in 1619. 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse which has the Sun at one of its foci. 2. Each planet moves in such a way that the (imaginary) line joining it to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The squares of the periods

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher
