There are many powerful symbols evident in everyday life. Similarly, in “Popular Mechanics” by Raymond Carver, there are two main symbols, along with many others. Among the most powerful of which are the drawn-out progression of darkness and the sudden smashing of the flowerpot. Not only do these symbols set the mood, but they also give more details to what is going on. Although the sudden destruction of the flowerpot is what makes it such a powerful representation of destruction, the most…

Differential Services When a car makes a left turn, the left side wheels naturally turn slower than the outside wheels on the right because the exterior wheels have to travel farther than the inside wheels make the turn. For this reason, tires have to be able to move independently and at different speeds to avoid slipping. This gives the car more power and control in the turn. A differential is a mechanical set of simple gears that allow the wheels to rotate at independent speeds, and to be…

Sometimes seemingly mundane tasks can be deceptively complex. For example, many individuals may perceive the pouring of a liquid as a simple concept that should require very little thought or planning. If your task is to pour a liquid, you would probably not stop to plan out how you will do so. While pouring from a cup can be explained in a very basic way, there are more complex versions of liquid transfer as well. Furthermore, if you are not pouring water but a more valuable resource instead,…

The purpose for this experiment is to observe the emission of spectra from several atoms including hydrogen and helium. Measuring the wavelengths of these emitted spectra will allow us to calculate energies of emitted photons. It is important to note that we will be using the Bohr model of the atom to denote the orbit numbers from which electrons in the sample are relaxing from in hydrogen. This will be important for the conclusions that we will make based upon the calculations using the data…

Sir Isaac Newton was a famous English physicist and mathematician. He is most famous for his theory of gravity where the myth is an apple hit him on the head making him wonder about gravity. He also made many new laws of motion that we still use today. And finally, he made the book Principia It was said to be the “the single most influential book on physics and possibly all of science.” So Sir Isaac Newton was very important to the scientific revolution of the 17th century, and these are the…

Physics plays an important role in the mechanics of a roller coaster. The thrilling ride cannot be appreciated, if the physics of a roller coaster is not understood. The loops, bends and hills are all affected by physics. The first hill of a roller coaster is the initial start of energy. Potential energy begins the transfer of energy on the first hill. A chain motor pulls the cars to the top of the hill creating potential energy. Potential energy being defined as the energy determined by its…

for his great work was Isaac Newton. Newton is credited and considered as one of the most intelligent minds of the 17th century. He has made a big contribution to the scientific revolution, by developing theories on Calculus, Light, and Celestial mechanics. Newton also made many big discoveries that have changed the world and how we see it. Born into a farmer’s family on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is where Isaac Newton spent his early years. Being his father’s only…

“Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets, which are slipped into holes in the plates and rounded over with hammers. The hotness of the rivets makes them easier to round over, but their hotness has another important advantage in providing a tight fit. What is it? Explain why.” This relates to one of the characteristics of heat, in that heated objects expand, then contract when the temperature decreases, since the molecules move faster in heat and slow in the cold. The hot…

Daniel Bernoulli was born on February 8th, 1700 in Groningen, Netherlands, and was known as the “Archimedes of his age”. His parents were Johann Bernoulli and Dorothea Falkner. His father was a medical doctor and a well known mathematician, and his mother was born from a wealthy family in Basel, Switzerland. Daniel had two brothers, Nicolaus and Johann (II), and also had an uncle, named Jacob Bernoulli, who was also a leading mathematician. When his uncle died, leaving the chair of mathematics…
