Determining the Acceleration Due to Gravity with a Simple Pendulum Quintin T. Nethercott and M. Evelynn Walton Department of Physics‚ University of Utah‚ Salt Lake City‚ 84112‚ UT‚ USA (Dated: March 6‚ 2013) Using a simple pendulum the acceleration due to gravity in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ USA was found to be (9.8 +/- .1) m/s2 . The model was constructed with the square of the period of oscillations in the small angle approximation being proportional to the length of the pendulum. The model was supported

Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon "triangle" + metron"measure"[1]) is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides and the angles between these sides. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions‚ which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclical phenomena‚ such as waves. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies.[2] It is also the foundation of the practical art

The Earth as a Planet It is important to look at the Earth in its context as only one of the nine planets which make up the solar system. This is an introduction to the Solar System‚ its formation‚ and composition‚ with special emphasis on the "terrestrial" or "inner" planets. I take a kind of historical approach‚ noting the patterns and regularities observed‚ for example‚ by Tycho Brahe‚ described by Johannes Kepler‚ and explained by Sir Isaac Newton. Laplace and even the philosopher Immanuel

Earth science(also known as geoscience‚ the geosciences or the Earth Sciences)‚ is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth. There are four major disciplines in earth sciences‚ namely geography‚ geology‚ geophysics and geodesy. These major disciplines use physics‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ chronology and mathematics to build a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the principal areas or spheres of the Earth system.

1 Land Subsidence: Causes‚ Detection‚ and the Wilmington Oil Field‚ Long Beach Land subsidence is a major predicament in many areas of the United State and occurs for many reasons. Land subsidence is the gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth’s surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials‚ usually with little or no horizontal movement (Galloway et al.). Subsidence hazards involve either the sudden collapse of the ground to form a depression or the slow subsidence or compaction
