The type of physics that I will be presenting is a branch of Fluid Mechanics. Fluid mechanics studies the physics of gases and liquids. Hydraulics is defined as: "a branch of science that deals with practical applications of liquid in motion." Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary‚ via www.dictionary.com The science started over thousands of years ago with Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) and Archimedes (287-212 B.C.). Many European scientists also contributed to hydraulics‚ including

Yoyo is a toy that everyone has played at some point in their lives. Yoyo is more than twenty five thousand years old. It is the second oldest toy‚ after dolls. The yoyo was first documented to be invented in Greece with wood‚ metal and terra cotta.2 .The disks were decorated with the pictures of their gods. The yoyo moved to the Orient around 1800. The yoyo was used as a weapon in Philippines. Their version was large with sharp edges and spikes attached to a twenty foot long rope for flinging at

Murphy Grand Canyon University: Physics 1 Lab September 5‚ 2013 Testable Question: Circular objects; what happens to the circumference as the diameter changes? Hypothesis: As the diameter increases‚ the circumference will increase in a proportional linear way. This is because as the diameter increase‚ the object will as well. Variables: Independent- The diameter of the circular objects. Dependent- The circumference of the

spin‚ she will put her arms out away from her body to create a slow spin. As she tucks her arms in‚ she will spin much more rapidly. By moving her mass closer to the axis‚ she reduced her moment of inertia. Many practical applications for this experiment exist. Car manufacturers study it carefully to determine how quickly a car will spin out of control. Here‚ a higher moment is created such that the car is less likely to lose control in a spin. Many sports also use the concept‚ as in the example

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

I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties

Components of Force Vectors Equipment: String‚ spring scales‚ 1.00 kg hooked mass‚ supports‚ meter stick‚ protractor‚ 20-N spring scales. Objective: During this lab‚ you will investigate the relationship between the angle of an applied force and the magnitude of one component. You will compare your actual force with the theoretical force and provide a computer generated data table that calculates the theoretical values. You will graph your actual and theoretical values and provide a complete
