Physics can simply be defined as the science that studies the mechanics of matter‚ motion‚ energy‚ and force. Dance in my opinion is a type of performance categorized as a form of art that involves the mind‚ body‚ soul‚ and a little something called physics. Dancing is a personal favorite hobby of mine‚ but I’ve never really considered the physics side of dancing which seems odd considering all the different movements and techniques that involve many principles of physics such as rotational inertia

BUOYANCY PHYSICS Student: Instructor: Criteria : Design Introduction The purpose of this experiment to find the effect of temperature on buoyancy . Backround Information Buoyancy (also known as the buoyant force) is the force exerted on an object that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid. The symbol for the magnitude of buoyancy is B or FB As a vector it must be stated with both magnitude and direction. Buoyancy acts upward for the kind of situations encountered in everyday experience

Energy Energy can neither be created or destroyed‚ only changed into different forms. Energy is only useful when it can be converted into different forms. Energy is often dissipated - spread out and lost. 9 types of energy: Thermal (heat) - flows from hot to cold objects Kinetic (movement) - anything that is moving has this Light - from the sun‚ light bulbs et cetera Elastically potential - when things are stretched Gravitational potential - anything that can fall Electrical - whenever

Pendulum Raiyan Hassan SPH3U September 20‚ 2011 Introduction A pendulum is a device which consists of a mass attached to a string from a frictionless pivot which allows it to swing back and forth. In this experiment‚ the time it takes for a pendulum to go through a period is going to be measured. The time it takes for a pendulum to go through one period can depend on factors such as the length of the string‚ mass‚ or the degree in which the pendulum is released from (amplitude). In this

Dear Parents‚ Congratulations! We are very pleased that your child has been successful in gaining a place at Beal High School and will be joining us in September 2012. It has been a long process but this is where the real work starts. We hope to support you as much as we can through the next year and this evening will be the beginning of that process. This booklet has been designed to answer your frequently asked questions and will provide you with the practical information that we feel

Chapter 13 – States of Matter Pressure (P) – the amount of force per unit area. Pressure=F/a or P=F/a Pascal’s Principle “Any change in pressure at a point on a confined fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid”. Any change is transmitted throughout the fluid. Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle “When an object is submerged in a fluid‚ it displaces a certain volume of that fluid. The amount of force pushing upward on the object is equal to the density of the fluid (Ï) times the acceleration

Lesson 1.02 Speed‚ Velocity‚ and Acceleration Speed- measures the amount of distnace traveled in a given amount of time. (Doesn’t measure the direction of the travel) How fast an object is going with respect to a frame of reference. You find speed by dividing distance by time. (Speed = distance/time) Instantaneous speed- the speed you are traveling at that moment‚ instead of an average. Motion- change in position of an object‚ relative to a frame of reference. Frame of reference- place or object
