Metamaterials

Could you create an invisibility cloak?  I mean if it was possible it would be insane.  But what if there exists a material that scientist created that allows it to bend light or an electromagnetic radiation of an object, giving the appearance that it isn’t there at all.  Light is electromagnetic radiation, made up of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. Natural materials usually only affect the electric component.  However metamaterials can affect both the electric and magnetic field.

Explosions

It's hard to think about a how an explosion has momentum conserved because an explosions blows up everything in little pieces.  However, those infinite amount of pieces all contribute to conserve the momentum of the explosion before it exploded.  The law of conservation has a simple equation of mass times velocity initially equals the mass times velocity final.  An explosion before it happens is equal to zero because it has no velocity at all.  After the explosions, the pieces broken off in the

Time Travel

Is time travelling even possible? Maybe, but to time travel a person has to be faster then light which is impossible because no one has enough energy to move faster than that speed.  However, Einstein’s special theory of relativity, developed in 1905, shows that time passes at different rates for people who are moving relative to one another - although the effect only becomes large when you get close to the speed of light.  If anyone has seen the TV show, the "Flash," the Flash is able to run at

Shooting Your Grade Lab

On Friday, September 16, 2016, at 10:25 to 11:07,  Dan Fullerton presented a lab.  Unfortunately,the best 22 students of the high school, failed!  Thankfully, Mr, Fullerton allowed us to redeem ourselves by writing what the right answer was and why we failed.  This lab, Mr. Fullerton assigned to us was to shoot a projectile and predict where it would land.  By doing this we had to use kinematics.  We failed this lab for many reason. One main one was our lack of communication among our class. We

Swimming

Swimming is a popular sport that involves a ton of physics. The physics of swimming involves an many forces between the water and the swimmer. It is these forces which propel a swimmer through the water. In order to swim, a swimmer must "push" against the water using a variety of techniques. There are four major techniques used for swimming. They are, Front Crawl (freestyle), Breaststroke, Backstroke, and Butterfly stroke.  There are others, but ate used for recreational uses.  By moving his or
