In Newtonian physics‚ free fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity‚ where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature‚ a body in free fall has no force acting on it and it moves along a geodesic. The present article only concerns itself with free fall in the Newtonian domain. An object in the technical sense of free fall may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards

The sport may seem to be about tackling people and about making those amazing one handed catches but if you understand a couple of topics like Newton’s laws of physics‚ angles‚ speed‚ and acceleration you could be just as good as Tom Brady‚

and excitement of physics Let Us Learn About Scope and excitement of physics Physics is exciting because‚ trains us in problem solving‚ It helps us to have an analytical outlook‚ to observe rather than see things. Everything is explained on the basis of the cause effect relationship‚ which helps us think logically and decide rationally Whether or not‚ a students of plus two continue to learn Physics‚ the basic problem solving skill he has acquired during the PlusTwo Physics course will remain

Investigatory Projects in Physics Repulsorlifts as a Method of Stable Magnetic Levitation | Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed

Shallow-water Acoustics and Relevant Physics By: Elizabeth Fortlage Underwater Acoustics is a complex phenomenon. Leonardo da Vinci simplified the concept in 1940‚ two years before Columbus discovered America‚ by saying “If you can cause your ship to stop and place the head of a long tube in the water and place the outer extremity to your ear‚ you will hear ships at a great distance from you.” (5‚ p.2) There are many factors that contribute to the complexity of underwater acoustics and sonar

from an early age. I am always curious about how things work. Since taking AP Physics this year‚ I have been able to appreciate how math and science work together. I have taken other rigorous courses‚ but often it felt like learning math was isolated from other coursework. Math challenges me to problem solve and think at a higher level. I also love science‚ but until I took AP Physics my science classes were too easy. The labs in freshmen and sophomore science were enjoyable‚ but I never got a sense
