waste of time” (Document 3). Specialized subjects, including basic engineering, were also taught and this would become the start of his primary occupation. Professor Monti was one of his favorite teachers during his adolescent days in school. In physics he always made him concentrate on the force equation F = ma until he really understood its meaning. I feel that Professor Monti understood that one should teach few ideas thoroughly. Emilio graduated from the Liceo Mamiani in Rome in 1922 at age 17

A Protagonist of the Scientific Revolution: Galileo Galilei was one of the protagonists of the scientific revolution, best known for his astronomical discoveries by means of a telescope (including sunspots, Jupiter’s satellites, and the phases of Venus), for his defense of heliocentrism, and for his study of the natural laws regarding falling bodies. Galileo, however, gave key contributions also to the development of the modern scientific methodology; for this reason, he holds a special place

What is Dark Matter? The Oxford dictionary defines dark matter as a non-luminous material which assumed to exist in space. But what does this mean? If dark matter is non luminous how do we know it’s there? How can we detect it? These are the kind of questions I will try to answer in this short article. Discovery: In the mid to late 19th century scientists observed that stars orbiting nearby galaxies were rotating faster than expected. The speed calculated indicated that the gravity created by

Physics of Natural Disasters: Tsunamis Abstract This paper will be focusing on the physics generated from natural disasters. The specific natural disaster that will be focused on in this essay is tsunami waves. The paper will explain various ways that tsunamis may be generated which can even happen from the results of another natural disaster, the damage that tsunamis can cause as it hits land, and of course the physics in the tsunami’s waves relative to the damages. Most of the information

Vale, a journalist, wants to uncover the identity of the mysterious hero. Then a psychotic clown criminal takes over the city. Batman is there to defeat this evil menace. Summary of Physics: In this scene of the movie, Batman’s heroic actions with Vicky Vale makes the audience question the accuracy of physics in this movie. Batman and Vale fall from Gotham City’s high and gloomy bell tower. As they fall from high sky above, Batman accurately aims at a gargoyle on the tower with his hook shooter

American University in Cairo Department of Physics Final Exam Physics (111) Time: 2 Hours Answer the following problems 1)The mass of the blue puck in Figure is equal to 1.2 the mass of the green one. Before colliding, the pucks approach each other with momenta of equal magnitude and opposite directions, and the green puck has an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. Find the speeds of the pucks after the collision if half the kinetic energy is lost during the collision. speed of Blue

as assess and document the disease in response to the treatment. Medical imaging has rapidly expanded from the first medical image discovered by Professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. During a late night experiment in November of 1895, Roentgen, a physics professor from Germany, was examining Crookes tubes. He noticed that some light had managed to pass through a tube that he had wrapped in thin black cardboard, reflecting on the wall of his dark laboratory. Upon further investigation he found that

When Google chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said the tech giant might bring10 gigabits per second internet connections to American homes, it seemed like science fiction. That’s about 1,000 times faster than today’s home connections. But for NASA, it’s downright slow. While the rest of us send data across the public internet, the space agency uses a shadow network called ESnet, short for Energy Science Network, a set of private pipes that has demonstrated cross-country data transfers of 91

Roller coasters have come a long way from ¨monumental ice slides¨ in the 16th and 17th century to an actual steel cart with wheels today.As we go on we will discuss the history of roller coasters,the physics behind them,and the authors experience in the making of its own roller coaster. The history of a roller coaster goes back a long time to the 16th and 17th century.The first roller coaster started as a ice slides which eventually developed in to rolling carts.Then as time went two of the first
