When wanting something from someone else, screaming and yelling at them in a hysterical manner will never be the answer. It is proven in the story, “Popular Mechanics” by Raymond Carver, when the mother is acting absurd towards the father. She wants the father to not lay a hand on the baby boy, in fear of having him stolen from her by the father. She wants him to take his things and leave, but while asking, she is screaming and cursing at the father. At first, he stays calm, but in the end he…

Automobile Mechanics Some say Automobile Mechanics are a dirty, greasy job, well I say man up. I’ve been interested in this job ever since my mother’s truck started having engine problems. I have had dreams of old vehicles and the beauty they could show for all my life. I have always wanted to take apart engines and the electronic technology of automobiles and finding and fixing the probnic. I find the job might have its ups and downs as all jobs do. It is a dream that I have had for a long…

Greek scientists Archimedes. His theory is now referred to as Archimedes 's principle, or the law of fluid mechanics. It implies that there is force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. He hypothesized this theory while in the bath. Unfortunately his theory only covered fluid mechanics and didn’t elaborate completely on force. However he was one of the first scientists to discover…

learn how to speak Russian and French. He also learned German and English. Nineteen years old, and one year after the founding of the USSR, George went to the University of Leningrad to study physics. He and his friends would often discuss quantum mechanics which was cutting edge science at that time and was leading to the secrets of how the atom works. George earned his PhD through his own investigations into the strange behavior of the atomic nucleus. For three years he worked at the…

Introduction: Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is the branch of physics that uses quantum theory to predict and describe the properties of a physical system. While chemistry is the science of composition, properties, structures, and reactions of matter; it is also known as the ‘central science’. While reading the book Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, one is able to link the two together, causing a curiosity to learn more. It is amazing to see how the two correlate and…

spot at the centre. So the interference patterns can’t be explained by particles bouncing off the side of the slits or anything normal like that. It’s a genuinely strange behaviour that required a genuinely weird solution — in the form of quantum mechanics. Deriving the De Broglie Wavelength mathematically De Broglie derived his equation using well established theories through the following series of substitutions: 1. De Broglie first used Einstein's famous equation relating matter and energy:…

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the most influential scientists of all time. His ideas became the basic principles for physics according to http://www.livescience.com/46558-laws-of-motion.html. Newton is known for his work in gravity and the motion of planets. Isaac Newton based his discoveries off of Descartes and changed the modern era of scientific thinking. In mathematics, Newton created integral and differential calculus, and in optics, he created the first telescope. His most influential and…

Literature demonstrates that pitch types (fastball, curveball, change-up, slider) generally have similar kinematics with only minor differences in forearm and wrist action, and even less so in the elbow and shoulder(36-40). Fleisig et al demonstrated in a kinematic study involving 21 collegiate baseball pitchers that the change-up pitch is the least stressful, while the curveball and fastball have similar elbow and shoulder kinetics, with the curveball exhibiting increased forearm supination and…

Being known as “The Father of the Atomic Bomb” is a great accomplishment. To have this association as well as being known as “The Pope,” “The Prophet,” and “The Admiral” to his associates, an individual must be intelligent and have a background that allowed them to grow and prosper in physics (Latil 113). The man with this honor is Enrico Fermi and without him, who knows what would have happened in World War II. Enrico Fermi had multiple experiences and obstacles in his life, but all of the…

Imagine, if you were not yourself, yet at the same time you were. Imagine that you had led a completely different life. Maybe you were a soldier, an engineer, a banker, or maybe you did nothing with your life. What if you were born a with a different name, different gender, a different race; what if you were not born at all. Imagine a world where the American Revolution never happened, The Allies fell to the Axis, or the Cold War ended in nuclear annihilation. However, none of these scenarios…
