Bowling

Bowling has been a favorite past time for so many for so long. It is a sport that unites people from all parts of the world. Though the techniques may vary, some more unorthodox then others, some with spin, some with a simple flick of the wrist, the physics behind it is ever present. Most standard bowling balls have weights in them, but there are two major types, symmetric and asymmetric. Though they perform very similarly, the asymmetric weights give the bowlers a little more tweak in their

Bass(electric)

People have heard electric basses for a very long time. People know you plug the bass into the amp and it makes sound. But people don't really know why.... until now. First, if you take a look at a bass, look in between the bottom of the neck and the bridge. you will see the pickups there. these pickups are actually magnets. These magnets have a north and south pole. these magnets have a wire coiled around them. If you move a conductive material through a static field, then the material, the

Bass Guitar

The bass guitar, or at least the physics behind it, works very similarly to a guitar. The note that is produced by plucking the string has to do with the frequency. For example, if a string has a frequency of 440 Hz, than that would be an A note. You can change the octave of the note by either doubling the frequency, or cutting it in half. That means that it is still an A if it has a frequency of 220 Hz or 880 Hz. The frequency of the note is determined by a couple of factors. The main fac

AP Physics C, A New Hope

I am a senior in high school. I enjoy physics. These are two facts about me. I have enjoyed math for quite some time now and the application of math is what really draws me to physics. I am taking AP Physics C because I enjoy a good challenge. I have a thirst for physics that cannot be quenched by any other class. This class offers a unique opportunity to expand my understanding and increase my skill in physics while at the same time makes me frequently consider my decision to take the class.

2D Reubans tube.

In physics you learn about waves. However, many people don't realize that waves are every where. A rubens tube is a tube with natural gas pumped through it with holes in the top. when a steady vibration is used on the tube, a standing wave is formed. It has nodes and anti nodes like any wave. When you put a lot of vibrations through, like say music, the effect is very cool. Most rubens tubes are just a linear single tube, in this video however, it goes into 2 dimensions the resul
