  1. My first album was a vinyl record -- Michael Jackson's "Thriller!"

    working out

    Actually to lift the bar you need to exert a force that at least matches the force of gravity on the bar, then you can lift it up at constant velocity (equilibrium). To accelerate the bar, you need to apply more than the weight of the bar. Excellent analysis Kgraham30!
  3. Believe it or not, you're not actually doing any work as you carry an order from the back to the front (at least from a physics standpoint). We'll discuss it soon, but this will make a GREAT example!
  4. We'll actually explore this in more detail when we talk about impulse and momentum soon!

    Batman

    Great application of free fall to a popular movie!
  6. Just in case you slide off the road, make sure you keep some shoreline in the trunk to help pull yourself out!
  7. Mmmm, Chinese food sounds great right now!
  8. Interesting take on the movie -- I haven't seen it yet. I'd best move it up on my list.
  9. Newton's Laws can certainly be a pain at times -- heal quick!
  10. Great blog post -- and for those going into medicine, fluid mechanics, a branch of physics, is extremely important! (Think blood flow, capillary action, etc.)

    Bug-A-Salt

    The Bug-A-Salt sure looks like a great invention utilizing tons of physics -- notice the free body diagram at the beginning of the video!

    Catapult

    I'm glad you enjoyed the project!
  13. And now we're starting to make electronics small enough that the wave nature of particles is coming into play. Quantum electronic devices are becoming reality, and gate thickness of transistors are becoming so thin that electrons tunneling through dielectrics becomes a problem (or a feature).
  14. Great post LMCsings! Headed to Disney myself in a few months and I'm looking forward to testing out your analysis!
  15. We'll have to study up on safety measures in cars here shortly... air bags, seat belts, crumple zones... especially with a certain new driver on the road!
  16. That's quite the Halloween!
  17. So glad you had a good time with the project. Proud of you!
  18. And with your great physics background you'll have no trouble bringing gnome the bacon!
  19. We'll have to do some lifting and physics analysis in class here soon!
