One question that people often ask is physics? Physics is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics‚ distinguished from that of chemistry and biology‚ includes mechanics‚ heat‚ light and other radiation‚ sound‚ electricity‚ magnetism‚ and the structure of atoms. Or in a more simple definition physics is science that focuses more on matter‚ energy‚ motion‚ and force(Erwin Schrödinger Facts). Throughout history there has been

With increased interstate speed limits‚ distracted drivers‚ and more vehicles on the roadway buckling up could be the most important few seconds of the day. Seat belts‚ sometimes known as restraint devices‚ have been proven to reduce serious and fatal injuries in crashes. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)‚ the leading cause of death in the U.S. among people between the ages of 1-54 is traffic crashes (2017). Most states have a mandatory seat belt law however many drivers

EGG DROP PROJECT Using principles of physics‚ design and construct a container for a raw egg that can be dropped from the second story balcony of St. Joseph’s Academy and strike the ground without breaking the egg. The finished container must meet the following criteria: No professional packing materials (such as bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts) may be used. The egg must be raw and either Large or X-Large. If a parachute is attached to the container‚ it must be made from

believe. The egg-dropping process requires knowledge of history‚ engineering‚ and mathematics and physics. To fully understand how an egg drops‚ the knowledge of the history of physics‚ the engineering behind a device‚ and the mathematics and physics of free-fall is needed. Classic physics originates in Ancient Greece. The theories Thales‚ the first physicist‚ designs gives the discipline of physics its name. Thales believes that Earth is made of only one element: water. Water’s interaction throughout

Physics is the study of matter and its motion through time and how energy and force work. Physics is one of the most important branches of science‚ and its main goal is to understand how the world works. There have been many key people who have had a significant role in the evolution of physics .One of the most influential people in the development of physics. From the development of different theories to the creation of his most known accomplishments‚ the three laws of motion Isaac Newton was born

We varied both the accelerating force and the mass of the glider. We found that for a given force the acceleration of the glider was inversely proportional to the mass of the glider

important scientists to ever live. Despite the fact Einstein disliked school‚ he had a deep passion for mathematics and an orderly universe which led to his many revolutionary theories‚ one of which changed physics forever; all of his hard work led to many awards and the evolution of theoretical physics. Einstein disliked school‚ but had an attraction to mathematics and enjoyed the idea of an orderly universe. As a kid
