I absolutely love jumping on the trampoline but I never really thought there was any physics involved. I knew you had to use a force to jump up and gravity pulls you back down obviously. An American inventor named George Nissen first invented the trampoline in 1935. (Silvia) A trampoline is defined as an elastic disc of hard canvas held up by metal springs attached to a metal skeletal frame. Kinetic and Potential energy allow you to be able to jump on a trampoline. PE=mgh this equation helps you

The independent variable is the rise of the ramp‚the dependent variable whether or not the marble will loop the loop. The underlying principle of all roller coasters is the law of conservation of energy. When a roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller

Applications of Physics in Everyday Life By Steve Johnson‚ eHow Contributor Even walking manipulates physics‚ allowing people to proceed in a state of "constant falling." Physics extends well into people’s everyday lives -- imprisoning people within its forces. From each step a person takes to the evolution of the body‚ physics has several long-term as well as short-term effects and uses. For everyday living‚ many technologies have even exploited the rules of physics. 1. Simple Mechanical

The Physics of Badminton Gerard Ramos Physics 4A Prof. Scott Hildreth I would like to start off with a light introduction to the sport of Badminton. Badminton is a sport that isn’t too popular in the United States; some people would even say that it shouldn’t even be called a “sport”. The majority see badminton from a “back-yard sport” point of view‚ part of this is due to the lack of actual badminton court facilities in America‚ also because it’s a bit expensive to play. Badminton is not

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting

.Physics is the field of scince that controls the Earth‚ the Moon‚ the Sun and the Universe It is the science of matter and its motion‚ space-time and energy. Physics describes many forms of energy - such as kinetic energy‚ electrical energy‚ and mass; and the way energy can change from one form to another. Everything surrounding to us is made of matter and Physics explains matter as combinations of fundamental particles which are interacting through fundamental forces. It will not be an exaggeration
