IB Physics Internal Assessment Andy Tang Research Question In this internal assessment, I am given a cantilever to find the physical properties of it. I decide to investigate the relationship between the force I act on one side of the cantilever and the maximum acceleration the tail can reach. This experiment will be also showing the elasticity of the cantilever. Since I pull down one side of it and fixed the other side, when I cut the string, it will bounce up and down until all the internal
Calculus IA Section 2, Part B 4. A particle moves along the x-axis with position at time t given by x (t) = e-t sin t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π. (a) Find the time t at which the particle is farthest to the left. Justify your answer. Answer: x’ (t) =e-t sin t + e-t cos t = e¬¬¬-t (cos t – sin t); x’ (t) = 0 when cos t = sin t. Therefore, x’ (t) = 0 on 0 ≤ t ≤ 2 π for t = π/4 and t = 5 π/4. For the absolute minimum are at t = 0, π/4, 5 π/4 and 2 π. The particle is farthest to the left when t = 5 π/4. (b) Find
they observed that electron plasma oscillations can appear in a continuous formulation without correlation in the presence of collective effects, making the physics non-trivial.

public than many other books dedicated to the subject. It was one of the bestselling popular science books of 2005 in the UK, selling over 300,000 copies.[1] instead describing general sciences such as chemistry, paleontology, astronomy, and particle physics. In it, he explores time from the Big Bang to the discovery of quantum mechanics, via evolution and geology. Bryson tells the story of science through the stories of the people who made the discoveries, such as Edwin Hubble, Isaac Newton, and Albert
this paper, rather than presenting a full-scale theodicy, I engage with the problem of theodicy through careful comparative study between Wolfhart Pannenberg’s and Catherine Keller’s theodical arguments in the context of their dialogue with modern physics and biology. Pannenberg sees that theology and natural science are to be placed in hypothetical consonance , whereas Keller takes an assimilationist approach to theology-science dialogue. The divergence of their interdisciplinary
Uncertainty as a Necessary Property of the Universe There is a value in being uncertain about certainty; the value is seen in stress reduction, both in science/professional life as well as in day-to-day mundane life. The value also exists in the perpetuation or the drive for innovation. The common knee-jerk reaction to a presentation of uncertainty is to hold fear or contempt, but after some more careful consideration, uncertainty appears to be very important in nature. There are even ways to capitalize
In the analysis of the events and inspirations in my life that led to my decision on where to attend college, I view the motif of puzzles and games of logic stemming from my infancy into the current day as a major component of the reason I picked Caltech over Penn, the final two colleges in narrowing down my college search. Caltech, a very small school of 235 students per grade represented hardcore academics with an infamously difficult core curriculum, focused mainly in pure and applied math and

Today people make schedules to help organize their time and complete each task they must accomplish. For me, time is essential in everyday life. It provides a natural schedule that tells me when to wake up, go to sleep, eat, or any other plan for the day. Social interactions and institutions carve out certain parts of my time that I learn to adjust to. School, church, clubs, and friends are a few things that are responsible for molding my schedule each day. Over the years, people have transformed
A Century of Physics By the end of the nineteenth century after more than two thousand years of intellectual struggle that began with the Greek philosophers, physical scientists had reason to believe that they were beginning to understand the universe. Their theories of matter and energy, of electricity and magnetism, of heat and sound and light were confirmed in laboratories throughout the world with increasing precision. Experimentation was the method and mathematics the language of a
