Fracture mechanics

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…

Introduction: Every company wants to improve the quality of their product which in turn will increase the market potential of their product. Food companies are also among those companies those have always tried to develop new ways to provide fresh and healthy foods to their customers. In this process, they have to face some difficulties. These difficulties usually happen in the sorting phase of foods. Everyone knows after the passage of time, every food item loses its freshness. As a result, it…

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION Water rockets have used many times to test and explore the fundamental principles of physics. To understand what determines how far a water rocket may fly or how a rocket may even lift off, it is important to delve into the deeper detail; the forces acting in play. Newtons Laws govern the central principles regarding the physical forces which may act on a particular object in space. There are three laws which were developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1686, when he published…

a) Explain 2 key ideas in quantum mechanics. Two of the key ideas involved in quantum mechanics are wave particle duality and the Observer effect. These two ideas have changed the way that scientists think about the world. Firstly, wave particle duality is the fact that every elementary particle exhibits the properties of both particles and waves. This idea started with Thomas Young’s 1803 double-slit experiment. With a ripple tank he showed how water waves interfere with each other, and then…

Eliot explores a myriad of interpretations of the meaning of logos in the Four Quartets through Einstein’s theory of Relativity, by examining it through the bending of space and time, ultimately using this lens to arrive at the conclusion of the Incarnation. This curvature of spacetime opened the doors to the reality of a new method of understanding the world: non-Euclidean Geometry. Non-Euclidean Geometry differs from several key postulates of traditional Euclidean Geometry. These reworked…

1. Please summarize your assessment of the paper: YES MAYBE NO Does the paper contain enough significant new physics to warrant publication in the Physical Review? (X) ( ) ( ) Is the paper scientifically sound and not misleading? (X) ( ) ( ) Is the paper well organized and clearly written? ( ) (X) ( ) Are the subject matter and style of…

Table of Contents Introduction 2 Method 3 Results 4 Discussion 6 Conclusion 7 Plagiarism Report 6 Introduction The law of Conservation of Momentum states that the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant. This law is based on Newton’s third law (If body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an equal force but opposite force on body A). Thus when objects collide or explode apart, equal forces are exerted on the objects but in the opposite direction. The time of…

Measurement of Static and Kinetic Friction Forces between Wood and a Table Purpose: In this experiment, a spring scale will help calculate the static friction and kinetic friction between a wooden block and table. Several factors impact the amounts of friction, and this experiment examines the factors and how they impact the sliding of the wooden blocks. Surface area of the blocks affect the friction, and the contact between the different surfaces varies for different objects and weights.…

Discussion – Tayla Dorrington Introduction There are 2 major theories about the universe and how it began. These are the steady state and The Big Bang theory. Both theories have an explanation on how our Universe is, how it began and how it works. Both theories have stuff in common but also have many differences that could completely change the way we look at the Universe. The Big Bang Theory has much more evidence supporting it, while the Steady State Theory has been proven wrong. Big Bang…
