Acceleration Due to Gravity Tushar Agarwal 17st November 2014 Aim-In this experiment I will be calculating the value of gravity by the drop of the ball. I will be measuring the distance and finding out the time . Distance will be changed however the size of the ball and the type of the ball will remain constant , The time will be then give me the value of gravity by the suvat equation ,where acceleration will be the subject . Background Knowledge.For an object to move, a force

Quantum Theory Electrons behave like particles in some experiments, and like waves in others. The electron's 'wave/particle duality' has no real analogy in the everyday world. The quantum theory that describes the behavior of electrons is a cornerstone in modern chemistry. Quantum theory can be used to explain why atoms are stable, why things have the color they do, why the periodic table has the structure it does, why chemical bonds form, and why different elements combine in different ratios with

It was this heat; so late in September. But Pia kept the windows up; it felt safer like that. As she circled the car park, Pia caught the measured voice of the Radio 4 newsreader. “Today, scientists across the world are facing a revolution in physics. Neutrinos – ghostly subatomic particles, which pass through our bodies all the time – have broken the universe’s fundamental speed limit: the speed of light.” The story continued as she queued for the exit with all the other lecturers in their

Physics and Space Travel The human race has always been fascinated by the concept of outer space and what lies beyond our Earth. Mankind’s innate curiosity has inspired numerous technological advancements that have made it possible for humans to travel into space and explore what was previously only the subject of dreams and imagination. Early writings such as The Brick Moon by Edward Everett Hale illustrate how little was actually known about outer space, and the physical and practical limitations

nuclear power plant resulted in loss of electricity, disabling of emergency generators and the disabling of the diesel generators that normally kept down the cooling system and it wasn’t quite successful in providing water and food supplies for people because it was contaminated. The International Atomic Energy said in a statement that “diesel generators that normally would have kept cooling systems running at Fukushima had been disabled by tsunami flooding”. Some people are still debating on whether
