1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

Statistical mechanics or statistical thermodynamics[note 1] is a branch of physics that applies probability theory‚ which contains mathematical tools for dealing with large populations‚ to the study of the thermodynamic behavior of systems composed of a large number of particles. Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic bulk properties of materials that can be observed in everyday life‚ therefore explaining

Celestial Mechanics Orbital Maneuvers Earth‚ Moon‚ Mars‚ and Beyond Rodolfo G. Ngilangil Jr. MBA‚ BSAE Impulsive Maneuvers Impulsive maneuvers are those in which brief firings of onboard rocket motors change the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector instantaneously. The position of the spacecraft is considered to be fixed during the maneuvers. This is true for high-thrust rockets with burn times short compared with the coasting of the spacecraft. Orbital Maneuvers - 2 Hohmann

Quantum Mechanics ~Three physicists were instrumental: Heisenberg‚ De Broglie‚ and Schrodinger ~Their approach stemmed from De Broglie’s matter wave concept known as "Wave Mechanics" or "Quantum Mechanics" ~ Bohr’s model was inefficient for atoms other than hydrogen or poly-electronic atoms ~ This new approach to a model of the atom focused on the concept of wave functions ~ Since electrons are particles and therefore have wave properties ~ Schrodinger viewed the electron as a standing wave

FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally
