Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a part of natural philosophy and a natural science that involves the study of matter[1] and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[2] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[3][4][5] Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines‚ perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy.[6] Over the last two millennia‚ physics

Lirio Garcia Physical Science E. Martin December 13‚ 2012 Project: What the physics are of shooting a gun Shooting a gun is mostly the science of motion in the scientific world. One thing that most shooters are aware of is what bullet they want to use and where they want to shot at but most do not know how the gun and bullet work together or even separate. Also‚ there is no set balance of energy for every gun since the efficiency is mostly based on its structure of caliber and barrel length

Physical Science Chapter 17 Notes The Moon Our calendar is tied to the phases of the moon. 29.5 days to circle the Earth. July 20‚ 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon. The astronauts placed a reflector to reflect the ray of an Earth-based laser beam. Determine the rate of continental drift Detect any change in the location of the North Pole Determine the orbit of the moon more accurate Moon is 2nd brightest object (Sun being the first) Standing on the moon‚ you would see a sunrise and sunrise

Physics is how everything in the world works in harmony. Without it‚ things would be floating around‚ the earth wouldn’t rotate‚ and it’d be a huge mess. Newton’s laws of physics are the best way to explain how the physical world works. Newton’s first law of motion states “an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue moving at a consistent velocity unless acted upon by a net force. A real world example of this would be playing golf. The golf ball sits on the tee

Unit 2 Lesson 3 The kinetic theory of matter explains that matter is made up of particles‚ which are in constant motion resulting in the different states of matter. Matter is made of constantly moving particles‚ which tells us how the matter in solids‚ liquids‚ and gases behaves. When molecules bump into each other‚ they do not gain or lose energy‚ they only transfer it‚ so there is no net energy change (law of the conservation of energy). In a solid‚ molecules vibrate in a fixed position

Geography and the development/diffusion of human society- World history- Mesopotamia • Mesopotamia is Greek for “land between the rivers.” • The land is supplied by water from both the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. • Land is mostly flat‚ but borders mountains. • Similar to the Nile River‚ both rivers would flood yearly and cause the crops of the land to be much more plentiful than in surrounding areas. However‚ these rivers are much stronger than the Nile which would create a much worse flooding

LAM HO VINH NGO PHYSICS 100 HONOR PROJECT RAY E. ETHERIDGE Archimedes and his contributions to science Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician‚ physicist‚ engineer‚ inventor and astronomer. Little was known of his personal life‚ even though people regard him as one of the leading contributors to classical antiquity. One of his most outstanding contributions was the foundation of hydrostatics‚ statics and principles of lever. He also invented many mechanisms such as siege machines

MESOPOTAMIA EDUCATION Sumerians trained boys in art. The students were mostly sons from upper-class families – sons of priests‚ temple and palace officials‚ military officers‚ sea captains and scribes. Girls and those who can’t afford the fees were not enrolled. They used clay tablets to write and practice their cuneiform writing. Clay tablets became their books. Those who learned the art were assigned to work as scribes in the temples‚ courts‚ or as merchants. RELIGION Sumerians worshipped
