Fore! A Newtonian and Projectile Motion Study of the Golf Swing Physics Around Campus Tim Stoddard Physics 102 Spring 2015 Figure 1 below depicts a snap shot of the compact and physics-ridden entity known as a golf swing. Taken at my home in Olympia, WA, this picture was taken moments before the impact between my driver and the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. The game of golf is riddled with physics concepts governing everything from the power generated in the swing, to every

Albert Einstein Have you ever heard the bowling ball and trampoline analogy, if you roll a bowling ball onto a trampoline it will roll into the middle. Then if you were to roll some billiard balls behind it they would curve in towards the bowling ball. Albert Einstein is important because of all the changes he has made to the world of science and the military, with the Theory of Relativity, the E=Mc2, and the atomic bomb. In 1915 Einstein had first proposed the Theory of Relativity, in 1905 is when

important?” Well, hooking the bowling ball is a technique where the bowling ball turns from its path down the lane. When the hook procedure gets executed correctly, it allows the ball a better angle of entry into your target, also identified as the pocket. When the ball enters the pocket at a different degree, as opposed to straight on, the ball hits the pins with more force, causing better pin carry. There are a few steps you can exercise to improve your skills at hooking a bowling ball. Although it can

different points along the track of a roller coaster. The important terms that will be discussed are potential energy (stored energy), kinetic energy (energy of motion), gravitational potential energy (GPE), and conservation of energy (basic law of physics). Potential energy (PE) is the energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition

the time and yet few people actually realize the physics that are involved in almost everything that they see or do. While there are multiple ways that physics is used in a soccer game, this paper explores three parts and the physics that are involved in each one. The three parts that are going to be discussed are passing a soccer ball, heading a soccer ball, and throwing the soccer ball back into play. These three movements can explain how physics can work from a soccer ball coming or going in each

“In physics, pressure is defined as the force over a given area” (Nelson). There is a formula that might help someone if they want to know how to measure the pressure and the formula is Pressure = Force/Area. The state or the Hernandez 3 Phase of matter will

Student Name: Fan Ho Nga, Gloria Student ID: 52948216 “Scattering Donny’s Ashes” Scene in The Big Lebowski (Joel and Ethan Coen, 1998) The Big Lebowski (1998) by the Coen Brothers is no doubt a comedy film about friendships between three bowling buddies with differing personalities who met and stuck together as friends by choice in Los Angeles when the U.S. army invaded the Middle East. The Coen Brothers managed to capture the spirit of friendship bonding, conflicts, characters’ internal

Newton's Third Law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law can be understood as when an individual presses against a wall that they do not fall through the wall as the wall pushes back against your action. 2) A 10 kg bowling ball is slowing down at a constant rate. In two seconds, its velocity drops from 5 m/s to 4.8 m/s. What is the total force acting on the ball, in N? Variables: m = mass = 10 kg Vo = initial velocity = 5 m/s V = final velocity = 4.8 m/s t

The simple formula for this, in physics, states that a body’s escape velocity is equal to the square root of it’s mass, divided by it’s radius (Chaisson, 77). For example, if a body’s mass is two-hundred, and it’s size is twelve and one half, the escape velocity would be four. If the size

Trial By Fire: The Forging of Modern Physics (DRAFT EDITION) Most often, great minds are few and far between. It is an unusual circumstance for a collection of brilliant thinkers to exist at the same time, and even more strange for them to collaborate or clash. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz are a spectacular demonstration of this phenomenon. Throughout their careers in mathematics and physics, the two often found themselves at arms over everything from credit for discoveries to the nature
