Physics of a Guitar (Rough Draft) The guitar is the most played instrument in the music world. The oldest surviving guitar is thought to be made around 1776 in Italy by Gaetano Vinaccia. Though‚ the guitar looks like a simple instrument to construct or play there is a lot of physics behind the creation of it‚ from the strings to the air inside‚ the anatomy‚ and the sound spectrum. There are three types of guitars that are made: nylon acoustic‚ steel-string‚ and electric. Acoustic guitars produce

Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object is increased as it falls

Lamia Doueihi 2/27/15 AP European History Newtonian Physics and Darwinian Biology on European Culture Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin were both influential men who had impacted European culture during their respected eras‚ and in later eras. Newton was an English physicist and mathematician. During the Enlightenment‚ his Newtonian physics impacted European culture with his effects on science. Charles Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist. One of his greatest impacts on European culture

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

The Physics of Basketball Brittney LeBlanc Physics 122 Physics comes into play throughout our lives‚ in absolutely everything we do‚ especially in sports such as basketball. Although you do not need to be a physician to become a basketball player‚ if you understand the basic physics of basketball‚ it can be very beneficial to your game. Specifically‚ understanding the physics behind shooting‚ passing‚ and dribbling the basketball. A Canadian named‚ Dr. James Naismith‚ was instructed to create an

The Physics Of Soccer Soccer is a sport that’s very challenging and during the course I’ve found physics can also be described as challenging. As far as I was concerned soccer and physics were both challenging and that was all they had in common‚ consequently upon researching them both this I found that I was wrong. For me this was nothing new because I’ve found that physics isn’t a subject that can be skimmed‚ but rather it has to be studied to the finest detail. Those small details if missed can
