The mass spring system has two properties, Mass and Stiffness. Air also has two similar properties, mass and elasticity. Stiffness and elasticity are interchangeable quantities as both possess the same features. A spring is a highly elastic object which can be displaced from equilibrium through applying a force to the mass. This is generally done by compressing or stretching the spring. By compressing the spring, the spring is displaced from equilibrium and moved towards the right,…

Daniella Vidaurreta Physics April 8, 2015 Isaac Newton Isaac Newton, also known as one of the best mathematician and physicist of all time. Newton was born into a poor farming family and lost his father three months before being born. In 1661 Newton was sent to Cambridge University and began studying mathematics. Soon after, Cambridge University broke out in a plague causing everyone to evacuate. Through out the plague years of 1665 and 1666 Newton made the most significant discoveries…

ISE SUMMER PROJECT 2015 Probability, randomness, and chance should be central in any STEM pedagogical model. The concepts of randomness and chance play a very significant role in the essence of all sciences, and especially in the empirical sciences. Randomness is a critical component of biological modeling at many levels in a wide range of systems. The fundamental axioms of the quantum paradigm in physics are, by definition, essentially stochastic. Economics uses the randomness in human thought…

The lab that was conducted in class throughout this whole week was basically to find one suitable objective and that was to determine the friction of four surfaces. It consisted of multiple trials of pulling on a block that was measured at .118 kg, for each specific trial that was conducted. For the block, weights were added on top to determine the friction and how it was affected towards the tension and feel of multiple surfaces that the lab was primarily trying to accomplish. The multiple…

Newton’s Laws of Motion Lindsey Rolling Mr. Moore Physical Science L1 Newton 's Laws of Motion 22 October 2015 Newton’s First Law Newton’s First Law of Motion tells how an object moves. The first law states that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. (“Laws of Motion”). This would mean that another force would have to act on an object to make it change the motion, or lack of, that it is…

Objectives With the use of similar apparatus equipment through constant temperature at atmospheric pressure, the viscosity will be determined by tests in two different fluids in sets of two ball trials; along with data collected from a third set. By reducing errors and obstructions it will justify data for better discuss and calculated results, supporting the theory beyond the lab report to resonate in helping others comprehend the experiment. Procedure The experiment was…

Soccer is a sport that involves running, jumping, kicking, sliding defending etc. A sport that would not be possible if we were unable to move, but what exactly causes our body to move? What are the factors that help produce movement? Many might think we move because of muscle contractions but there is more to it than the shortening and lengthening of a muscle. There are forces and laws that influence every movement produced by the body. Every movement has different forces, and laws that apply…

A persons mind is unique. Every person has his or her own way of thinking and learning. Not to mention, people come from different origins, which leads to some people having a higher vocabulary. Why is all this important in physics? In the article, “Talking to Learn Physics and Learning to Talk Physics” it states, “the development of physics discourse and conceptual understanding are different processes that depend upon one another for successful physics learning (Harlow, Otero 1).” This article…

Have you ever seen someone dive off the diving board? Do you enjoy swimming? Well now I’m going to give you a little more information on swimming and what the physics of it is. You will see swimming in a whole different way. Gravity is always affecting you while swimming. Even you don’t think it is. Force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies fall toward the center of the earth. Newton’s first law of motion has a part to do with swimming. An object in motion stays in motion until another…

Frederic Clemson Howe once said, “War demands sacrifice of the people. It gives only suffering in return.” This explains the situations of Robert Ross, Werner Heisenberg, and Niels Bohr. They all sacrificed, which only lead to suffering for all of them. Although one is a coming of age novel about a WW1 soldier and the other is a play about an imaginary meeting of WWII scientists, both The Wars by Timothy Findley and Copenhagen by Michael Frayn explore the ways in which war affects individuals…
