Research Question How does spacing between dominoes affect the average velocity of the dominoes? Increasing space between each domino will decrease its velocity‚ decreasing the space will increase its velocity. Force at which it hits next dominoes is increased it will take longer for it hit‚ acceleration is constant‚ the longer it has to travel‚ the longer it will take to hit. According to Newton’s first law every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion

This is the story of a man who lived a good life and contributed to the field of physics. He became personal friends with one of the smartest men in history‚ Albert Einstein. But as I said before‚ this is not the story of Einstein; it is about a man who helped create many breakthroughs which are still being learned about today in our schools. This is about Erwin Schrödinger‚ the guy with a cat in a box. Erwin Schrodinger was born on August 12th‚ 1887 in Vienna to a linoleum business owner. He was

8‚ 2013 Physical science is the study of physics and chemistry of nature. From the materialist and functionalist viewpoints it overlaps the life sciences where ecology studies the evidences of historical facts or evolution. Physics along with Mathematics and Chemistry is one of the fundamental sciences because the other natural sciences like biology‚ geology etc.‚ deal with systems that seem to obey the laws of physics. According to Physics‚ the physical laws of matter‚ energy and the fundamental

EGG DROP PROJECT Using principles of physics‚ design and construct a container for a raw egg that can be dropped from the second story balcony of St. Joseph’s Academy and strike the ground without breaking the egg. The finished container must meet the following criteria: No professional packing materials (such as bubble wrap or Styrofoam peanuts) may be used. The egg must be raw and either Large or X-Large. If a parachute is attached to the container‚ it must be made from

important scientists to ever live. Despite the fact Einstein disliked school‚ he had a deep passion for mathematics and an orderly universe which led to his many revolutionary theories‚ one of which changed physics forever; all of his hard work led to many awards and the evolution of theoretical physics. Einstein disliked school‚ but had an attraction to mathematics and enjoyed the idea of an orderly universe. As a kid
