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

quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the direction and rate of heat transfer to the surroundings. It is possible for an object to have a very high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the

In free space‚ a plane-wave laser is unable to accelerate an electron‚ according to the Lawson-Woodward theorem‚ posited in 1979. However‚ Yu-kun Ho‚ a professor at China’s Fudan University in Shanghai‚ and his research group have proposed a concept of what physicists refer

Physics is more around us than one would think. Physics is in all of the things you love to do. Take golf as an example there is velocity in a golf swing. Velocity is the speed of something in a given object and the speed of your club in the direction you are aiming is velocity. Also there is gravitational potential energy in the top of your backswing to cause you to pull the club downward. Kinetic energy is also in golf‚ During your backswing kinetic energy is causing your club to go up and in your

ARCELIA ARRATIA MEASUREMENT OF LENGTH‚ MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY PHYSICS LAB REPORT Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. Physics utilizes the scientific formula to test hypothesis and calculate matter such as density. Tools were created to measure material in a laboratory and have been perfected to reduce error. In this experiment measurement of length‚ mass‚ volume and density will be obtained through instruments of measuring

The force (or pressure) of the rod (rod/size of rod) exerted is equal and opposite to the force (or pressure) the cornea re-exerting pressure on the rod. 2. The force (or pressure) required to applanate a constant area of a cornea is equal and opposite to the force (or pressure) of the rebound on the

Hence‚ the objective is to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever‚ which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Hypothesis: If one increases the length of a cantilever‚ one would expect there to be an
