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 (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

Downloaded from www.campusportal.com.ng PHYSICS PREAMBLE The syllabus is evolved from the Senior Secondary School teaching syllabus and is intended to indicate the scope of the course for Physics examination. 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. AIMS The aims of the syllabus are to enable candidates

The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an

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

location of the elements in the diffraction grating that produced them. Conversely‚ if we know the structure of the grating‚ we can deduce properties about the incident light‚ in particular its wavelength. This will be our task‚ in this first optics lab exercise. The analysis of diffraction patterns is used extensively in the sciences to provide information about the microscopic structure of molecules‚ atoms‚ and nuclei. In addition to various forms of light (gamma rays‚ x-rays‚ visible light‚ infra-red
