from an early age. I am always curious about how things work. Since taking AP Physics this year‚ I have been able to appreciate how math and science work together. I have taken other rigorous courses‚ but often it felt like learning math was isolated from other coursework. Math challenges me to problem solve and think at a higher level. I also love science‚ but until I took AP Physics my science classes were too easy. The labs in freshmen and sophomore science were enjoyable‚ but I never got a sense

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 is no onboard motor on roller coasters but they can still reach speeds that exceed the limits of a car on the parkway‚ while completing a curve‚ twist‚ rise‚ or plunge.

The physics of scuba diving Imagine swimming in the underwater world with all the creatures and all the beauty it holds. It is an amazing feeling to swim over coral reefs and see all the sea life up close and personal. So many scuba divers all over the world share a passion to scuba dive. Scuba diving has been a worldwide endeavor for centuries (1). Persian divers were making goggles for diving around 1300. A British engineer invented the air pump in 1771 and in 1772 a Frenchman tried inventing

through a more advanced explanation. Roller coaster rides involve a great deal of physics. The ride often begins with a chain and motor which exerts a force on the train of cars to lift the train to the top of a tall hill. Once the cars are lifted to the top of the hill‚ gravity takes over and the rest of the ride works on energy transformation. There is no motor or engine that takes a train around the track. The law of physics is basically the engine of the train. At the top of the hill‚ the cars possess

AP10005 Physics I Tutorial 7 (Chapters 17‚ 18) 1. (17P11) A flower pot is knocked off a window ledge from a height d = 20.0 m above the sidewalk as shown in the figure below. It falls toward an unsuspecting man of height h =1.75 m who is standing below. Assume the man requires a time interval of Δt = 0.300 s to respond to the warning. How close to the sidewalk can the flower pot fall before it is too late for a warning shouted from the balcony to reach the man in time? 2. (17P15)

“Cartoon Physics‚ Part 1” Nick Flynn centers “Cartoon Physics‚ Part 1” around childhood innocence. He very strongly urges not only parents‚ but anyone around a young child to not force upon them knowledge they do not need to know. Flynn captures the simple kid mind and harsh reality with tone‚ imagery‚ figurative language‚ and even the form of the overall poem. There is a stark contrast between tones in the passage. In the first few lines the tone is cold; detached. The actual physics of the never-ending
