    Energy Energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only changed into different forms. Energy is only useful when it can be converted into different forms. Energy is often dissipated - spread out and lost. 9 types of energy: Thermal (heat) - flows from hot to cold objects Kinetic (movement) - anything that is moving has this Light - from the sun‚ light bulbs et cetera Elastically potential - when things are stretched Gravitational potential - anything that can fall Electrical - whenever

    Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

    Chapter 13 – States of Matter Pressure (P) – the amount of force per unit area. Pressure=F/a  or  P=F/a Pascal’s Principle “Any change in pressure at a point on a confined fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid”.  Any change is transmitted throughout the fluid. Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle “When an object is submerged in a fluid‚ it displaces a certain volume of that fluid.  The amount of force pushing upward on the object is equal to the density of the fluid (ρ) times the acceleration

    Calculations- 1. Main Show Tank Calculation: The main show tanks radius is 70 feet. Based on that the tank is a sphere-shaped and we have to find the volume‚ I used the formula for the sphere volume which is: V= 4/3(3.14 x r^3) V= 4/3(3.14 x 70^3) V= 4/3(1‚077‚020) V= 1‚436‚026.66666... V= 1‚436‚027  But I have to find the volume of the quarter sphere-shaped‚ so: V= 1/4 x 1‚436‚027  V= 359‚007 The volume of the quarter-shaped tank is  359‚007 cubic feet Holding Tank Calculations- 2. I used

    Energy: the ability to do work. Work= force x displacement. Power=energy/time Power is measured in watts or horsepower. Joules/sec=watts 1hp=746w=1kw Basal metabolic rate 2000kcal/day= 100w Batteries store energy in chemical form. They release energy by pumping electrons’ through wires from the minus pole to the plus pole. Devices inbetween convert this energy to another form‚ Efficieny- e.motor=85%‚ combustion= 20% Hydrogen is not a source of energy but a means of transportation Types of energy:

    Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet

    Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light

    PHYSICS UNIT 2 Physics P2 for GCSE Additional Science or GCSE Physics AQA GCSE Science PHYSICS 2 Unit P2.1 Forces and their effects Appreciate that forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs
