people travel faster on their ride along the highway on the way to the amusement park than they would in a roller coaster. Basically the thrill all comes from the acceleration and the feeling of weightlessness that they produce. Roller coasters thrill people because of their ability to accelerate them downward one moment and upwards the next; leftwards one moment and rightwards the next. How does this thrill machine work? There are two ways that this question will be answered. First‚ through the basic

September 25‚ 2013 Physics Tutorial Tonometry for Intra-Ocular Pressure In the linear non-elastic collision of the rod with the eyelid‚ there are 4 notable forces in action (Figure 1). 1. 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

10 Ways To Get The Life You Want Do you know anyone who was hopeless at school‚ but went on to become successful? It often happens and you wonder how an underachiever did so well in life. Take Richard Branson as an example. He left school aged 16‚ having only passed one exam. I’m not sure how many he took‚ but most British school kids take about eight exams at that age. Yet even though he was dyslexic‚ and an academic failure‚ Branson went on to set up the Virgin Group. His global string of

resistance). How the heights of the hills are designed to allow an empty car to reach the end of the ride: [2]The hills are designed so that it is low enough that the momentum of the car from the previous drop carries it up and over the hill. This is why the hills are usually lower towards the end of the ride‚ because the car has lost momentum due to friction and air resistance. Mainly the consecutive hill must be lower as it will not have enough energy because some of it is lost and sound and heat

Why do humans behave the in ways that are ethically wrong? Why do humans behave in outstanding and magnificent ways? Why do humans think the way we do? Psychology helps us to answer these questions. Psychology studies human behavior and mental processes. There is no one good answer for the above questions. Many psychologists have different perspectives that they agree with. A psychologist could believe in the biological perspectives and another could believe in the cognitive perspectives. Just because

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

A Brief History of Time” is a book that was published by famous physicist Stephen Hawking‚ whom in this novel talks about the ideas or theories of physicists in a way that we can understand. It also explains how the universe exists and how we perceive it going into lively detail. There are as I said multiple topics he discusses such as how the universe works. In chapter 1 he talks about Aristotle’s theory on how he thought the earth was a sphere and not just a flat surface. “If the earth had been
