Steam Engine One Problem
1,762 words
Another worker in applied mathematics belonging to
the period under consideration was Heron of
Alexandria. His much disputed date, with
possibilities ranging from 150 BC to 250 AD, has
recently been plausibly placed in the second half
of the first century AD. His works on mathematical
and physical subjects are so numerous and varied
that it is customary to describe him as an
encyclopedic writer in these fields. There are
reasons to suppose he was an Egyptian with Greek
training. At any rate his ...

Extremely Important Everyday Life
484 words
Momentum has an integral part in the field of
physics. However, many people do not know the
importance of momentum in everyday life or even
recognize it. The truth is that we use momentum in
just about every activity that involves motion.
When we drive a car we use the principles of
momentum to realize how much cushion space we need
or how much stopping distance is needed when going
a certain speed. Momentum is also extremely
important when trying to understand collisions.
Collisions occur every...

Speed Of Light Theory Of Relativity

Alfred Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March
14, 1879. You might ask yourself, what would it be
like to be born a genius? If you were anything
like Albert Einstein you were a very quiet,
secretive child who had trouble in school and
against authority. And most of all, you would not
be a child prodigy as some people might think.
Some believed Albert Einstein was "backward"
(Current Biography, 257) when he was young,
because he could not speak fluently when he was
nine. But even as young as f...

Aspect Of Physics Gravity
316 words
By One aspect of physics in my life is gravity.
Whenever I loose my balance, whether I'm on a
bike, walking, or trying to stand on one leg, I
will fall down. This is because every mass is
attracted to every other mass, so my body is
attracted to the earth, and the earth is attracted
to my body, only not as much, because my body has
a much smaller mass than the earth. This is also
why when I drop something; it falls down, instead
of just floating there like it would in space.
This is very importa...

Subatomic Particles Quantum Mechanics
756 words
Quantum Mechanics is the science of subatomic
particles and their behavior patterns that are
observed in nature. As the foundation of
scientific knowledge approached the start of the
twentieth century, problems began to arise over
the fact that classic physical ideas were not
capable of explaining the observed behavior of
subatomic particles. In 1913, the Danish physicist
Neil's Bohr, proposed a successful quantum model
of the atom that began the process of a more
defined understanding of its su...

Atomic Bomb Robert Oppenheimer

J. Robert Oppenheimer 1904 1967 Maggie Richards
Robert Oppenheimer's name has become almost
synonymous with the atomic bomb, and also with the
dilemma facing scientists when the interests of
the nation and their own conscience collide. His
early education was at the Ethical Culture School
in New York. He took math and science classes, but
also enthusiastically studied Greek, Latin,
French, and German. He had a feel for languages
and often learned one quickly just to read

End Of The Line Hold The Fish Fly
333 words
The Physics of Fly-fishin What does it take to
launch an ultra-light fishing line over 200 feet?
A little physics and a lot of feel for the fishing
rod, that s what. The trick to doing good is to
have the thinner, end of the line, land on the
water first then the fly. The end of the line
cushions the fly, having the effect that a fly is
landing on the water, not a piece of nylon string.
This may sound easy, but it s a lot harder than it
seems. Just getting it to go that far is like
pitching a co...
