    mechanics, which are responsible for the other three: strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetism.      Strong nuclear force is the force that binds together the protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. In other words, it holds together everything we know in the universe. Out of all of the fundamental forces, strong nuclear force is the strongest. Electromagnetism is the next strongest; it is 100 times weaker than the strong nuclear force. It is responsible

    constant rate even when weight is added or whether the magnet moves at a continuously accelerating rate as more and more weight is added. This will be done by looking at various physics concepts these concepts include; Lenz’s law, Faradays law of electromagnetism, Newton’s first law of motion, induced

    The first is called the Copenhagen Wheel and the second is the FlyKly. The Copenhagen wheel does not seem to use magnets in its design while FlyKly does. Since the FlyKly uses electromagnetism I decided to focus on it. The FlyKly team decided to use a website called Kickstarter.com to start and fund their idea. They set a goal of one thousand dollars to be able to see their idea to fruition. Backers ended up donating seven times

    Research, p.1 Do you want to know a secret? First, consider this: When a magician performs a magic trick, many ask, “How did he do that?” Well…the true magician never tells because it is a secret. But when speaking about magnetism and its use in our everyday lives, you can learn the SECRET—the secret of magnetism! A true scientist would be glad to share his secrets through experimentation. Thus, I will share the secret with you. It begins with science—physics, to be exact: matter and energy, conduction

    magnetism. So why was this relationship between electricity and magnetism so important to the field of electrical information transmission? This question began to be answered by a man named Joseph Henry in 1830. Intrigued by the recent innovation of electromagnetism, Henry decided to test its effectiveness in the field of electrical transmission. Henry decided that if he passed current through one end of a transmission wire he could use the current to activate an electromagnet at its opposite end. Henry

    possesses a definite amount of electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic fields, or EMFs, is sometimes referred to as radiation. We are exposed to EMFs almost all the time. Almost all of the electronics or powered devices have some sort of electromagnetism in them. This includes your cell phone, kitchen appliances, television, lights, and computer. Electric door bells also use electromagnetic fields. When the button is pushed it signals for the coil to get electrified, then the bell sounds all

    to wield electricity for demonstrations in the 18th Century. Now, three-hundred years later, we are combining these two forces to enhance transportation across the globe. From underground subway systems, all electric cars and even hover cars, electromagnetism has revolutionized the way we get around. Once the concepts of electricity and magnetism were grasped, it did not take long for automobile manufacturers to begin to use electricity and magnetism to improve their products. Before the starter motor

    Gravity and its theory, is relatively new. Scientists still discover new correlations that they attribute to Gravity. Greek philosophers attributed the “natural motion” of the planets and stars as a part of the gods’ realm. They did not realize that gravity was involved until astronomers like Galileo and Brahe in the 1500s, discovered that the Earth and other planets revolved around the sun. Kepler later showed that they moved in an elliptical orbit, not in a circular pattern, which brought speculation

    Electricity and Magnetism History Electromagnetism Originally electricity and magnetism were thought of as two separate forces. This view changed, however, with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions, all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments: 1. Electric charges attract

    Concepts, Theories and Unknowns Aspects of Magnetism Magnetism has long been one of the great mysteries of the world. It has gone for so long unexplained and although there has been a lot of progress in figuring out how magnetism works and what it’s caused by, it still isn’t completely understood. There are many theories about magnetism, but there is still much more yet to be discovered about magnetism. In the future it will probably be easily understood, but none the less intriguing. Magnets
