Special relativity

Albert Einstein has made a historical impact on the world and in the fields of science and math. Even with a not so great childhood, he was able to persevere and accomplish many great things. In elementary school, his teacher had told him he was “too dumb” to be there. His mother told him he was “too smart” and decided to homeschool Albert. This is the beginning of his magnificent journey. From solving equations, to making a difference in schools, he has helped many people and will continue to help with his accomplishments. The things that he has done, still benefit us today, everything he has done was a positive thing, therefore, Albert Einstein is a great hero. 1905 was a very important year for Albert and many other people. For him,…

The theory of relativity suggests that before the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, space and time did not exist and matter was packed together in a tiny ball. ( DWall, Michael). Since time is measured by motion in space, there was no time without moving cosmos. Time is a thing human invented to have a chronology of events and phases of day and night, it is said that time travel is impossible.Time travel has been proven to exist in artifacts and humans as incredible as it sounds.Time travel has…

Background/ Early Years Louis “Louie” Zamperini, “the son of Italian immigrants, who had come into the world of Olean, New York on January 26, 1917” was “eleven and a half pounds of baby under black hair as coarse as barbed wire” (5 Hillenbrand). The Zamperinis soon decided to move to Torrance, California when Louie was three for his father’s job as a railroad electrician. Louie grew up in Torrance with his parents, older brother, and two younger sisters. Louie was the second of four…

In the photo, a baseball is being hit by a bat in a game. This photo was taken at a Gonzaga baseball game on campus (I used a profession photo because they are way better and a second photo is used to show the moment of contact which is what I am talking about). In terms of the physics in the photo. The focus of this paper will be on the energy transfer from the bat to the ball, which causes the ball to reverse directions, increase velocity, and create a launch angle to potentially be a…

Personal Energy and Material of Toothpaste The cycle of energy that gets put into the simple product of a tube of toothpaste is a rather lengthy one. Most people simply think of the raw materials that are put into the toothpaste, but what about the tube itself? Most people just consider the resources that are put into the paste, but what about the energy used to transport those resources or to mix them together. Perhaps one has considered the tube and the energy that was put into making it, but…

Right now, I want you to take a look at your phone. When you do this you will find many different components that make your phone, well, your phone. The screen is lit up. Voice transmitting, really making it a phone. There is a camera, which is along the lines of motion photography. Music recorded on your phone, dating back to the first phonograph. And last but not least, a nickel alkaline battery, powering the whole phone. What does this have to do with what I am researching, you may ask? All…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT IS HURDLING TOWARDS EARTH! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! “Commander, it’s the emergency broadcasting system! The object is coming in at insanely high speeds! This is not a drill!” “Great Scott! What shall we do? To the emergency chamber!” The Emergency Response team quickly began the descent into the emergency chamber in order to figure out the solution. The fate of the world as we know it was in their hands. “Tell me what we know!” commanded the Commander. “A…

The purpose of this experiment was to understand kinetic and potential energy and verify the Law of Conservation of Energy. Kinetic and potential energy are both forms of energy that usually coincide with each other; potential energy usually changes into kinetic energy and vice versa. While potential energy results from an object’s position or arrangement of parts, kinetic energy results from an object’s motion. Together, the sum of an object’s kinetic energy and the potential energy at that…

that I chose is The Space Odyssey. A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay, written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, was partially inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel". Clarke concurrently wrote the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, published soon after the film was released. The film follows a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient computer Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human…

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…
