The Physics of Tennis I. Introduction Background: A friendly game of tennis is being played. Camera: pans away from the game and zooms to Sunne. Sunne: Hello, my name is Sunne. Today, my group, which consists of Ravi, Gramh, Whitney and myself, will portray how physics plays an essential role in one specific aspect of tennis. This aspect is the tennis racquet itself, which can only be mastered when the physics of it is completely understood. In this video
as being the first woman in space. Ride was born on May 26th in 1951 and grew up in Los Angeles. Later on she attended Stanford University where she doubled majored in English and Physics. In both the physics and english major she received her bachelor's degree in 1973. She had realized that she could excel in physics so she received her masters degree in1975 and her PhD in 1978. After receiving her PhD she realized that she wanted to join NASA and be apart of the astronaut program where she
Extreme Car Driving Simulator Extreme Car Driving Simulator is the best car simulator of 2014, thanks to its advanced real physics engine Ever wanted to try a sports car simulator? Now you can drive, drift and feel a racing sports car for free! Be a furious racer on a whole city for you. No need to brake because of traffic or racing other rival vehicles, so you can perform illegal stunt actions and run full speed without the police chasing you! Drifting fast and doing burnouts had never been so
the starts are to faint to be seen in the photographs. Let’s visualize the astronaut taking the photo of his fellow comrade, first thing that has to be taken into account is the sunlight exposure to the camera; remember the sun is brighter in space and the color of the spacesuit is white. The camera has to be set to a bright daylight scene so when processed you would see the astronaut and the lunar background. But since the exposure was short it came out black and the stars aren’t seen. The stars are
Physics in Everyday Life 1 Just about everything you do from moving to eating to listening to music involves physics. Now that I have really explored them I think it is hard to go about our day and not do something that involves physics. Some of the things I will talk about are getting out of bed, the eye and how eye glasses help a person see better, speakers, the Frisbee, sailing, and the pulleys I use to get my jeep unstuck in the mud when I ride in the woods. All of these
My passion for medical physics is reflected upon the fact that I have been working as a medical physicist for almost seven years, from the day I obtained my M.Sc. degree until today. During these years I have offered Medical Physics and Radiation Protection services in several large private hospitals in Cyprus in all cities, like Evangelismos Private Hospital, Royal Artemis Medical Center, Blue Cross Private Hospital and Saint George's Polyclinic in the city of Pafos, Evangelistria Private Hospital
environment place special demands on the design and use of a camera (ERT Task Sheet, 2015). An average above surface camera cannot simply be made waterproof using a camera housing in order to operate effectively underwater. There are special demands created by various aspects of the marine environment for example, the lens must be designed specifically to recorrect the distortion created by refraction and strobes must be placed away from the camera to avoid backscatter. Refraction mainly occurs when underwater
Dakotah Alexander 3/17/14 Physics Career As my physics occupation, I have selected Photography which is the talent or preparation of capturing and handling photographs. The art of Photography allows me to experience perfection in circadian light. Or perhaps even imperfect perfection. Being able to capture the most beautiful fascinations is an occurrence few encounter. Many individuals I discern ascertain the belief that they aren’t picturesque. A photographer that has a true love of photography believes
HOW HIGH NCEA LEVEL ONE PHYSICS INTERNAL JET WRIGHT -2015 Aim: To find the mathematical relationship between the height a ping-pong ball drops from, and the height it bounces to. Independent and dependent variables: Which variable will be changed? (This is the independent variable) The height of the ball drop. How will the independent variable be changed? By decreasing the drop height of the ping-pong by 20cm after each set of measurements, (starting at 100cm) Give a suitable range of values
One of the most significant introductions to technology in sport over recent years was during the London 2012 Olympics last Summer. The Olympics is the worlds largest sporting event and requires state of the art technology to ensure that accurate readings are taken in each event and all athletes are provided with the ability to perform at their very best. The best example of this is probably in the London 2012 athletics track which uses cutting edge technology designed by Monodo, an Italian company
