Since the birth of Physical Review Letters fifty years ago‚ condensed matter physics has seen considerable growth‚ and both the journal and the field have flourished during this period. In this essay‚ I begin with some general comments about condensed matter physics and then give some personal views on the conceptual development of the field and list some highlights. The focus is mostly on theoretical developments. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.250001 PACS numbers: 01.30.−y The transistor

Assignment – Physics 1 1. Two carts‚ one twice the mass of the other‚ experience the same force for the same time. What is their difference in momentum? What is their difference in kinetic energy? 2. A 12 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 96 g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact‚ the block slides 7.5 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is 0.60‚ what was the speed of the bullet immediately before impact

car gains speed as GPE is transferred to kinetic energy (KE). As it travels to the top of another loop‚ KE is transferred to GPE. Not all the energy is transferred to or from GPE – some is transferred to the surroundings as heat and sound. All moving objects have kinetic energy‚ KE. The kinetic energy an object has depends on the mass and speed. If the mass doubles‚ the KE doubles and if the speed doubles‚ the KE quadruples. Normally energy is lost through sound and heat (friction‚ air resistance)

paper clip touches the bottom of the tube‚ then the clamp is no longer supplying the centripetal force. If the paper clips rises or falls appreciably as the stopper whirls then the radius of the circle is changing. B. Constant Radius and Variable Speed 3. With the paper clip against the tube and the string pulled taut‚ measure the length of the string from the top of the tube to the stopper. Record this as the radius‚ r‚ for all three data runs in 4.

Increasing reading speed is a process of controlling fine motor movementperiod. This post is a condensed overview of principles I taught to undergraduates at Princeton University in 1998 at a seminar called the PX Project. The below was written several years ago‚ so its worded like Ivy-Leaguer pompous-ass prose‚ but the results are substantial.

Physics 4052 Spring 2004 Y. Kubota K. Wick Project Proposal for Physics 4052 Introduction You must begin to think about a possible experimental project to carry out next semester (Physics 4052). The reason for this is two-fold: first‚ it will introduce you to the process of proposal writing‚ which is an unavoidable and very important part of modern experimentation‚ and second‚ it will enable us to make any necessary plans for procuring equipment. To start you thinking about this process‚

Imagine driving on I-75 as cars race by you at a blink of an eye. You are driving 60 miles per hour‚ the speed limit; they must be doing 100 miles per hour or more. This is not an illusion; this is the reality of driving on a highway. Believe it‚ it happens everyday. Cars race down the road at uncontrollable speeds that cause tickets‚ accidents‚ and sadly death. Speed limits are a must for traffic control‚ for safety in neighborhoods and for avoidance of collisions. Traffic control establishes
