Physics

It was as a sophomore I decided to enroll in AP Physics. It would be my first physics class, my first AP class, and my third class taught by Ms.Watroba. AP Physics 1 is a demanding class, covering a wide range of concepts previously unknown to me. In that way, science has always been a challenging class for me. From Environmental Science, to Biology, these classes look at parts of the world from a new perspective. Environmental Science took parts of our planet and looked at the processes behind them

the origin of the universe really like?” or “What’s really going on inside a black hole?”. Even though I have a hunger for Astrophysics, I enjoy Physics as a whole and I realize that the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe isn't in a specific field like Astrophysics,

The Physics of Running Running uses many different laws of physics. Some specific laws or principles are Law of Pendulum; Newton’s First, Second, and Third Laws; velocity; acceleration; and friction. In our project, we will focus specifically on Newton’s three laws, the Law of Pendulum, and velocity. Running is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “to go faster than a walk; specifically : to go steadily by springing steps so that both feet leave the ground for an instant in each step

Phys 221 Section September 12, 2016 Experiment 1: Motion Reba Chamblee Partner: Erin Jacoby   Abstract: In the first part of the experiment, a stop watch, meter stick, and various objects of different masses were used to estimate time, length, and mass which are the fundamental quantities of mechanics. The next part consisted of comparing more sophisticated techniques, such as a Vernier caliper to a 30cm ruler, to measure the average volume and mass of a wooden block/metal block and the diameter

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

introductory physics courses in electromagnetism, thermal dynamics, optics, and modern physics. As a project assistant, my responsibilities included grading homework, discussing it with students, and prepare some homework solutions in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and an introductory physics course. In teaching physics, my main goal is to have my students actively thinking like physicists. I believe that the ability to think like a physicist is valuable to everyone, whether physics graduates

“College Professor-Physics & Astronomy” as advertised. At present, I am a contract Physics Instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and at Vancouver Community College (VCC). At KPU my current covered sections are Astronomy 1101 (labs) and Physics 1101/1120(labs). At VCC I am teaching two sections (lecture and labs) of Physics 1200. My previous physics teaching position was at Vancouver International College and my major duties were: course design for Physics 11 and Physics 12, establishing

Radiation Health Physics graduate program of study at OSU. I have been a high school Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering teacher for nearly the past 10 years. My personal experiences in education have helped shape my vision and practices at a small, rural school district in Western Pennsylvania. It has been this experience that has given me the confidence to believe I am far more capable than I had thought I was only 10 years earlier. I am ready to apply my knowledge of Physics, Electronics, Computer

Throughout my life the phrase “physics is all around you” has been thrown around frequently. Especially in the context of my football playing years, I thought physics was simple. For example, my half-witted high school offensive line coach, who I am pretty sure did not go to college, used to scream about leverage and keeping your center of mass low to the ground. In the offseason he wanted us to bulk up because he knew newton’s second law that states force equals mass times acceleration. This

whether I would take regents or honors physics in my junior year. I was already going to take AP biology, and I had planned on signing up for regents physics so that I wouldn't get too overwhelmed by science courses. Everyone warned me that honors physics was a tough class. However, I ended up taking the honors because my friend didn't want to be alone in that course. This is one of the best choices I've made in my life. I loved my honors physics class. Physics allows me to apply my math knowledge
