Hopefully, anyone who is reading this understands the basic concept behind walking. If not, then google it because I will not cover that topic. What I am here for is to talk about the physic defying ways to travel in Team Fortress 2, a video game created by Valve Software. The game includes nine playable characters, but today we will be focusing on only one class, the Scout.
The Scout is fast-talking, cocky, baseball fan and street runner from Boston, Massachusetts. He is a fast, agile char
Hey PhysX students that will be reading this. Let me give a brief description of my self. I enjoy Physics, DUH, I love to play Frisbee with my friends, enjoy riding my bike, and playing Video Games, KSP being one of them. I am taking Physics this year because I love the challenge and the hypothetical theories that we get into. I can't wait to start physics with calculus, as well as play Kerbal Space Program and conquer the solar system. I am most anxious about being overwhelmed in work, but will
With the Competition at the end of the month, I started looking at how trebuchets work. However, first we should look at why they are diffrent from Catapults
Catapults generally used a large, springy piece of wood which would have been wound up. This then give tension to the wood and when released the arm pulls up and hits a stop then releasing the projectile.
Trebuchets, in contrast, use a weight which pull down a lever arm, launching it up into the air. A sling is
While I visited the Rochester Institute of technology over the break, I talked to a Junior who was majoring in Physics. He was explaining to me what he was working on and theorized. He was currently working on the Grand Unified Theory. This interested me quite a bit so I did some research into this subject.
It all starts with the Fundamental forces and their Interactions.
There are 4 fundamental forces that have been identified. In our present Universe they have rather different properties
Inflation has become a cosmological buzzword in the 1990s. No self-respecting theory of the Universe is complete without a reference to inflation -- and at the same time there is now a bewildering variety of different versions of inflation to choose from. Clearly, what's needed is a beginner's guide to inflation, where newcomers to cosmology can find out just what this exciting development is all about.
The reason why something like inflation was needed in cosmology was highlighted by discus
