Introduction of Physics: Physics ("knowledge of nature") is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the most basic fundamental laws of the universe that control the way everything in the world around us behaves. Discoveries in basic physics have important ramifications for all of science. Physics attempts to describe the natural world by the application of logic scientific methods‚ including modeling by theoreticians. As a core scientific discipline‚ physics is concerned with

What is the difference between static RAM and dynamic RAM in my computer? Your computer probably uses both static RAM and dynamic RAM at the same time‚ but it uses them for different reasons because of the cost difference between the two types. If you understand how dynamic RAM and static RAM chips work inside‚ it is easy to see why the cost difference is there‚ and you can also understand the names. Dynamic RAM is the most common type of memory in use today. Inside a dynamic RAM chip‚ each

Student Project The Physics of Sports Instructions: One of the best (and most fun) ways to explore physics and how it relates to the real-world is through sports. Every sport utilizes multiple physics principles. For this project you will chose a sport and study the physics principles involved. The sport you choose must be an actual sport‚ not a computer simulation or animation You will create a short PowerPoint presentation (5 slides max) summarizing your project. The following outline is designed

of the cart will decrease as more weight is added on top of the cart. This is because the more weight that is placed on the moving vehicle/object‚ the more downward force is produced. This would increase the friction between the wheels of the cart and the ramp’s surface. The increase in friction would slow down the moving object (cart). Apparatus Trolley/cart- this is essentially a wooden block with wheels and a rubber end‚ to provide the collision with a cushion upon impact. Weights- these

Physics End of Year Reflection Paper At the beginning of this course you were given some overarching enduring understandings and essential questions. These were: Overarching Enduring Understandings: Students will uncover and use appropriate scientific models to describe and quantify the nature and interactions of matter and energy. Students should understand that there is a network of rules and relationships that determine what will happen in a given situation Students

Reverend Parris is a self serving person who only thinks of himself and his own reputation. He is a static character because his behaviour doesn’t change throughout the play‚ The Crucible. At the beginning of the play‚ he is concerned with the way his niece and her friend’s actions reflect on him and his reputation. Toward the end of the play‚ he is concerned about how he and his reputation will look if people find out some of the most respected people of the church died because of his niece‚ Abigail

The sport of tennis has multiple opportunities in which the study of physics can go in depth. The sport’s court‚ racquet‚ ball‚ and even the player contain unlimited amounts of physics in which a person can go more into detail with as they study. While it is true that these all contain some form of physics‚ the racquet and how it interacts with the ball is where most of the physics is apparent. Starting with the racquet a person is able to see four main areas of focus. These focuses consist of the

I. Introduction Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines‚ perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia‚ physics was a part of natural philosophy along with chemistry‚ certain branches
