    How to Excel in Your Physics Course Most students realize that putting off studying until the day before the exam and then cramming at the last minute is not efficient. Some students do this anyway‚ because so far they have gotten away with it. Perhaps most of the other students you previously competed with had poor study skills. This may have allowed you to adopt poor or non-existent study habits and still keep up‚ or even get good grades if you are naturally a better student. Now that you

    In soccer‚ the length of the ball in air when it is kicked is the hang time. Air resistance or adding a curve to the ball will increase its hang time. Hang time can be calculated by H= 1/2 g(gravitational acceleration)times t(time) times 1/2. As the player kicks the ball with the inside of his foot he creates a curve on the ball and increases hang time due to air resistance acting on it. Kicking the ball straight will have a low hang time and just keep it low to the ground. The higher the ball is

    PHY 305/601 Classical Mechanics Assignment No. 1 1. Consider a particle of mass m constrained to move on a frictionless cylinder of radius R‚ given by the equation ρ=R in cylindrical polar coordinates (ρ‚ φ‚ z). Besides the force of constraint‚ the only force on the mass is force F=-kr directed toward the originUsing z and φ as generalized coordinates find the Lagrangian L‚ solve Lagrange’s equations and describe the motion. 2. Show that the kinetic energy of any holonomic mechanical system has

    Investigating Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion using an Air-track Introduction: My experiment is investigating the Newton’s 2nd law of motion by using an Air-track. The air-track can make the trolley frictionless by testing the velocity with different weights and shows that F=ma. Research question: How much acceleration does the frictionless trolley has? Aim: Use the air track to measure the acceleration of the no friction trolley by hanging with different mass of weights. Apparatus: *

    The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its rotation. It must be very specific to the chosen axis of rotation. Also‚ it is specific to the mass and shape of the object‚ including the way that is mass is distributed in the object. Moment of inertia is usually quantified in kgm2. An object’s where the mass is concentrated very close to the center of axis of rotation will be easier to spin than an object of identical mass with the mass concentrated far from the axis

    Debate Opening Statement Can we change our impact on the rate of global warming? There are all these campaigns for us to combat global warming and reduce our emissions‚ we have all the science to maybe not stop it but effectively reduce it to stable conditions. It is evident that the temperatures and sea levels are rising and this proves global warming is out there; but it still doesn’t make a difference we still do nothing because Global warming is irreversible; we are so deep
