the ability to move. Knowing how to describe motion is an important first step in understanding the underlying physics that governs changes in motion. We see changes in motion all the time‚ as we go to work or school‚ participate in sports or even wander around our homes. If we never changed our own motion‚ we would never make it out of bed in the morning. The study of motion and of physical concepts such as force and mass is called Dynamics. Kinematics is one of the topics under dynamics. Kinematics

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

There are many energy sources that can be readily converted into electricity. In Australia‚ most power plants burn a fuel‚ such as coal‚ or use the energy of falling water to generate electricity on a large scale. Electricity is also relatively

It is structured with the conceptual approach. The broad concepts of matter‚ position‚ motion and time; energy; waves; fields; Atomic and Nuclear Physics‚ electronics are considered and each concept forms a part on which other subconcepts are further based.

wavelengths) of these radiations can tell us a lot about the molecule‚ atom‚ and nucleus under study. Since diffraction-grating spectrometers and other types of radiation spectrometers are widely used in all sciences you should be familiar with the basic physics of such device What does diffraction look like? When light diffracts off of the edge of an object‚ it creates a pattern of light referred to as a diffraction pattern. If a monochromatic light source‚ such as a laser‚ is used to observe diffraction

Because the work is directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force while power is indirectly proportional to work. Therefore we can conclude that power is also directly proportional
