    Beam Project

    • 1345 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The goal of the beam project is to design and construct a beam that can hold a given amount of weight without breaking. The beam is required to hold a concentrated load of 375 lbf on the X-axis and 150 lbf on the Y-axis. The maximum allowable weight of the beam is 250 grams. The maximum allowable deflection for the beam is 0.230 in. and 0.200 in. for the X and Y-axis respectively. The beam is required to be 24 in. in length, and it will be tested on a simply supported configuration spanning 21 in

    Ball and Ramp Experiment Data/Analysis The experiment, performed earlier by a first grader, consisted of a ball rolling down a ramp. Each time the initial height of the ball increased, and the ball was rolled down to measure the distance (in inches) it travelled. The assigned task asked to produce a mathematical relationship between the initial heights of the ramp to the distance the ball rolled (a slope)—the data presented exhibits this relationship. The mathematical relationship between the

    Allen Einstein Letters

    There are many critics of the idea that the two worked together, in spite of the references to “our work,” and “our investigation.” in Einstein’s letters; the most vehement critic to the idea that the Einsteins collaborated is Allen Esterson. In fact, the purpose of Esterson’s leading publications have been “to oppose the idea that Mileva had in any way contributed to Einstein’s work”. Although Esterson has a Bachelor of Science, his criticisms seem to be that of a non-specialist in that he questions

    Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The most important property of kinetic energy is its ability to do work. Energy of motion is usually expressed as E=½ mv2 and as such, to change the kinetic energy of an object, work must be done on it (Urry, 2017). Moreover, kinetic energy can be elastic or inelastic, which is the transfer of energy from one body to another in a collision. Additionally, kinetic energy can convert from one form of energy to another. Kinetic energy can be stored and

    I knew the groom-to-be, but I didn’t know his fiancé very well. I thought her name was Missy. Missy sounded familiar, so that is the name I put on the card. To Paul and Missy. The crowd had gathered for the bridal shower and the smiling couple began opening their long line of gifts. They started at the far end of the table, opposite of where I had placed mine. For some reason, as I watched them open each one, I second-guessed myself about the name I had written on the card. Why had I put a name

    Evie Malone 4th Period Rutherford and the Nucleus Ernest Rutherford's atomic model said the atom was a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus, in which some of the mass is concentrated, around which the electrons circulate at a distance. As seen in the image, in the experiment Rutherford used a radioactive source that could produce alpha particles and enclosed it in a lead shield. The radiation was directed into a narrow beam after going through a slit in a lead screen. A piece

    Summary: I Am Jazz

    • 387 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I have previously seen commercials for the show “I am Jazz” and heard what it was about but never have I seen an episode before this class. The show seems to display the life of a youth who is biologically a male, but perceives their self as a girl. In the episode, she is creeping towards a crucial age where she is approaching puberty and important decisions need to be made whether to halt the process or not. The episode, also, showed simple difficulties in her everyday life like how she can not

    Have you ever heard of the story of an apple dropping on Isaac Newton’s head. That giving him the Ah moment of the theory of gravitation. Well that the story is not true, however what had happened was that Isaac Newton was walking in his orchard that was at his home. Then he saw an apple had fallen off the tree and he thought “ Why did the apple fall downwards not sideways or upward”. That had sparked the great journey of Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 but his father had

    People do not realize that physics consists of everyday things from swimming to walking to even writing. One great example of an ill-observed example of physics is bowling. The way that the bowling ball is made, the ball is spins, the grip of the ball, the weight, and obviously the way that the ball is thrown. All of these factors of physics contribute to the bowling balls movement. The bowling ball is a great example of everyday physics, but we only see it as a game that we play for fun. The first

    Amusement parks are very cool, they also have a lot of science to them. You can easily find kinetic energy in a roller coaster, since it has so much weight it can easily move fast when it touches a maximum weight point. Also you will have potential energy in a rollercoaster as well, when the roller coaster stops at the tip of the tracks it has potential energy and then turns into kinetic energy when the brakes are taken off to release the roller coaster. You can feel the changes obviously when the
