February 25‚ 2013 Lab: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose/Objective: The objective of this lab was to test the first condition of equilibrium for a set of concurrent coplanar forces‚ prove Lami’s Theorem‚ and to determine an unknown mass using rules of equilibrium. Procedure: In the lab‚ we wanted to find at what angles three separate weights would create a net zero force on a force table so that the ring holding the weights was exactly centered in the middle

Black holes are a very interesting and fun topic to learn about! A black hole is a hole in space that sucks things in‚ not even light can get out. These holes pull forcely because stronge matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. Light can’t get out‚ so the human eye can not see them. Scientists use special equipment for seeing black holes. The tools can see how stars around the black hole act differently than the stars away from the black hole. Black holes were first discovered in 1916 by Karl

Modern society faces the problem of the repression of individuality in favor of a collective identity. However‚ at the University of Chicago‚ students are dedicated to creating and maintaining a prosperous environment built upon diversity and individual passion. At UChicago‚ I would be able to explore my passion for physics alongside various other aspects of my individual identity. It is this ability and the freedom to explore my own identity and intellectual pursuits that draw me closer and closer

Astronomy: The discovery of Uranus What was the motivation that led to the discovery? The motivation that led to this discovery was simply that the Universe was so big. Herschel knew that there had to be more out there than what has already been discovered. He made the effort to study the universe and came across what he thought was a comet‚ but ended up being planet Uranus. What questions were asked? There weren’t as many questions asked as a normal scientific discovery since it is claimed that

Intro: O’Luminous‚ the king of The New World‚ murdered on the night of his second wedding in the civilization’s main ziggurat. The only remains are his legacy and his son. Joseph‚ the son of O’Luminous was abandoned as a child after is father’s death. The death of the king left the entire civilization of The New World hopeless.The day after the king’s death‚ Joseph rediscovered who he was. The god of hope‚ Ydar‚ granted extraordinary powers on Joseph‚ such as extreme intelligence and time travel

Science goes along way back into the history of the universe. The current most popular theory of the origin of the universe is the big band theory. But all this leaves the question‚ what caused the big bang? Science cannot yet explain this making it open to religious speculation. This is the basis of the cosmological argument. The cosmological argument proves the existence of god from the idea that there is a first cause of the universe. Aquinas version of the cosmological argument try?s to prove

Accordingly‚ we removed definitions in line 193-194. 5. Line 175. ’As a consequence‚ later breakups were initiated at higher latitudes...’ As a consequence of what? Why should later breakups initiate at higher latitudes? Reply: We replaced “As a consequence” by “In other words” in line 184. 6. Line 246-248. ’These flows were simultaneous with a further auroral activation at 0231 UT near 68.7 MLAT.’ Were the flows observed around 0226 UT by TH4 and TH5 also simultaneous with the further auroral

For almost one hundred years‚ we have known that the universe is expanding. We have traced this expansion back in time‚ through to the very beginning when the universe occupied an infinitesimal point in space. This was the state of the universe at time t=0‚ over 13 billion years ago. It is from this starting point that everything we are familiar with came into existence: protons‚ neutrons‚ stars‚ galaxies - even space and time itself are here. At time t=0‚ this point began an unprecedented inflation

Physics 211 Experiment 1: Free Fall - Determining the acceleration of gravity Prior to Lab: Derive the numbered equations (Equations 1‚ 2 and 3) in the lab instructions using the definitions of velocity and acceleration (a=dv/dt and v=dy/dt). Object: The object of this experiment is to determine the value of the acceleration of gravity by measuring the rate of acceleration of a freely falling object. In addition‚ one will be able to compare theory with experiment for constantly accelerated
