“A roller coaster is considered any elevated track with curves and rises‚ carrying passengers in open‚ rolling cars for entertainment” (5). Today’s roller coasters appear to be tons of tubular metal intertwined around itself‚ but regardless of how big‚ fast‚ or gravity defying they are‚ they all use the same natural force – gravity. The more twisting‚ turning‚ flipping‚ and the faster a roller coaster goes‚ the more the coaster depends on the law of physics‚ not mechanics‚ to keep it moving. There

The Expanding Universe Objective: To interpret a model demonstrating the theories of our expanding universe. Hypothesis: I believe the two marked points on the balloon will be farther apart each time the balloon is blown up. Materials: * 1 un-inflated balloon (when inflated‚ the balloon should have a round shape and be approximately the size of a soccer ball) * Markers * About 30 cm (12 inches) of string or yarn * Ruler or tape measure Procedures: 1. Place an un-inflated

Physics C-110 Module 1 Chapter 1 1. What is science? Science is a body of knowledge that is ever changing. It is made up of not only facts but also theories that are made up of well-tested hypotheses. 2. Distinguish among the scientific fact‚ hypothesis‚ law and theory As stated above‚ a theory is made up of well-tested hypotheses‚ which in themselves are well educated guesses yet to be proven. A fact is something that can change over time even though it was agreed upon by knowledgeable

Pendulum is an object that‚ due to action of gravitational force‚ swings back and forth at a regular rate around a fixed point if it is pulled aside and let go. A simple pendulum consists of a weight hanging at the end of a string or wire. The path travelled by the weight is called the arc of the pendulum. The period of oscillation is the time it takes the weight to pass back and forth once over this arc. The length of the pendulum is the distance between the point at which the pendulum is fixed

SPH4U-B 4 Circular Motion Physics SPH4U-B Lesson 4 Introduction Transportation has undoubtedly advanced. Not only have vehicles changed‚ but the means by which people can get themselves to and from different locations has changed as well. Maps and compasses now take a backseat to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Access to the GPS is now very widespread; 24 satellites above our atmosphere are used to send and receive information in order to accurately determine locations of

Nemesis Rosales March 10 2014 Physics Cosmos: A Space time Odyssey In my point of view‚ the episode Standing Up In The Milky Way was pretty interesting. The way Neil deGrasse described all the things science had discovered the past years of life. Scientist‚ astrophysicist‚ etc. say that science created the world and life. In my opinion I find that science did create many things in life‚ however‚ I am a child of two parents who strongly believe that God created life. In some cases I am in

IF I HAD THREE DAYS TO DO WHATEVER I WANTED… I would take the chance to do things that are valued the most to me. In these three days‚ it is said that money‚ time‚ and rules are not taken in consideration. Therefore‚ I would have complete freedom in doing whatever I wanted and make the impossible‚ possible in these days. On the first day‚ I would want to explore the other side of the universe. Ever since I was a little child‚ I had an adventurous side to me. I wanted to explore

In fact‚ every object in the galaxy is attracted to every other object in the galaxy. Newton postulated and Cavendish confirmed that all objects with mass are attracted to all other objects with mass by a force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square
