As I was watching my falcons drop the ball again against the 49ers yesterday, I could not help but, like always, wonder about my status on physics blogging. So here goes nothin, PLASMA TVS'S! The general goal of the machine is to light up tiny colored fluorescent lights which as a group produce the image that we see. Each pixel is made of of three of these fluorescent lights, red, green and blue. Similar to the Cathode-ray television, the plasma tv varies the intensity of light to produce ea
All the fundamental laws of physics are involved in arguably a human's most simple movement throughout the day. The law of conservation of energy, Newton's three basic laws and even gravity are all involved in simply walking across a room! :eek: The conservation of energy is that TE=PE+KE+W where total energy equals potential energy plus kinetic energy plus work. Our total energy is conserved when walking obviously, which means a variety of things. The potential energy is the biochemical p
Yes world it is true, I am writing the third blog post at this time. I figured since I just did the introduction last week that I should probably get going, so I decided to hunker down and do back to back days worth of blogging as to make up lost time. Today I would like to briefly discuss electromagnetic charges. For those of you who are not aware, the equipment ordered by the soccer team (aka Spirit Wear) arrived Tuesday I believe in the back of Mr. Slattery's van. I ordered a cotton shirt
On this wonderful evening, in honor of Thursday Night Football in which the Vikings are playing Tampa Bay momentarily. My focus will be on Percy Harvin, because he is a beast and more importantly because he is on my fantasy team and I need a good performance out of him. Physics wise however, I think Christian ponder has more to offer in evaluation of the study being the quarterback, so I will do my best to explain the physics of throwing the football and the effects of the applied spiral, and
I am quite interested in sports, specifically Soccer and Tennis. My future career aspiration as of now is to become an engineer, likely of the mechanical or civil discipline. As far as Physics itself goes, some of my strengths may include the ability to turn conceptual information into valuable data that can be yielded from in real life while I have yet to gain a great understanding of calculus terms, which I am sure will become an enormous part of this course. I would like to take AP-C becau
So it felt like a good time to write a second blog so here I am. Writing the second blog (Thank you MidnightPanther for help starting). I feel like this puts me slightly behind schedule but I am determined to succeed in this class and give Mr. Fullerton my best everyday :eagerness: Tonight I think I will focus on physics as it relates to our soccer team because a few hours ago we suffered another poor loss and I will use physics to explain why. Well first of all, on a note more related to chemis
