Passing under a bridge
0 likes320 views
I learned from this assignment how to calculate the height needed to pass under a bridge with an object mounted to my vehicle. Before this project, I was unsure on how I was going to calculate the height at a specific point. Using the parabolic shape of the bridge I was able to plot points and create a sketch to determine if I had sufficient clearance to pass under the bridge. In real life this can be something important to know. Hitting a bridge can not only damage your property, if the structure is weak, the impact can cause it to collapse. A parabola can also be used to calculate trajectories. When you throw an object, in the air or off a bridge, it follows the path of a parabola. This can be used to determine the height of the object based on the distance from the base. I used the conics form of the parabola equation (x-h)^2= 4p(y-k) to calculate the solution. This activity increased my understanding of parabolas and now I am able to utilize this knowledge in everyday life.

The document summarizes key concepts in physics including:
1) It describes the makeup and patterns of stars in the Big Dipper constellation.
2) It then provides details on four individual stars - Megrez, Merak, Dubhe, and Pheceda - including their distances, temperatures, sizes, and other properties.
3) The document goes on to explain several important physics equations and concepts, such as Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, time dilation, and Newton's second law of motion.Special relativity

1) The document discusses Einstein's theory of special relativity and how it established that the speed of light is constant for all observers, regardless of their motion.
2) It explains how this led Einstein to realize that space and time are relative rather than absolute, and that observers in different states of motion will measure different distances and times for the same events.
3) Key effects of relativity discussed include time dilation, length contraction, velocity addition, and the Lorentz transformations needed to relate measurements between reference frames in relative motion.Daily spending diary

Daily Spending Diary discusses the importance of keeping a daily spending diary to monitor expenses, stick to a budget, and gain control over finances. It recommends writing down common monthly expenses, subtracting that from monthly income to determine money available to spend wisely. Keeping a detailed record of daily, weekly, and monthly spending allows staying within means. Reducing spending habits like unnecessary shopping and paying more than minimums on debts improves finances and life outlook over the long term. Financial planning including minimizing expenses through substitutions, planning free activities, and avoiding credit use can strengthen financial security during unpredictable economic times.Special relativity

This document discusses the key principles of special relativity, including:
1) The postulates of relativity state that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames, and that the speed of light has the same value in all reference frames.
2) Consequences of relativity include that there is no absolute length, time, or simultaneity between reference frames. Mass increases and mass and energy are equivalent based on the formula E=mc^2.
3) Time dilation describes how moving clocks run slower than stationary clocks by a factor of gamma, as demonstrated through experiments with muons.Taking sides

The document discusses the arguments for and against mandating the HPV vaccine for teenage girls. The "yes" side argues that it should be mandated for moral and public health reasons, as HPV can cause cancer. However, the "no" side contends that the vaccine is too new to know long-term effects, and that most women will never encounter the cancer-causing strains, so mandating it is unnecessary and expensive. Both sides make reasonable arguments, and the author concludes that vaccines should not be mandated given long-term safety uncertainties, though education is important.Chap1 special relativty

This document discusses key concepts from special relativity. It begins with an example of measuring the rate of dripping water from a pot on a moving train from the perspective of an observer on the train (Ali) and an observer on the ground (Baba). It notes that both measurements are equally valid and can be related using Lorentz transformations. It then discusses that events can be considered from any reference frame, with no frame being superior, and that the choice of reference frame is a matter of convenience. It also explains that accurately locating events requires accounting for the finite speed of light to avoid simultaneity issues. Overall, the document introduces the idea that the laws of physics must appear the same in all reference frames according to Einstein's principleTime beyond imagination

Time is a system used to sequence events and measure durations between events. Space and time are considered to be dimensions that combine to form spacetime according to models in physics. Theoretical methods for time travel include traveling faster than light, using black holes, or passing through wormholes. However, time travel poses paradoxes and challenges such as the grandfather paradox that make it difficult and potentially impossible given our current understanding of physics. More research is still needed to determine if time travel could ever be achieved.Cosmic Adventure 5.6 Time Dilation in Relativity

Ìý
1) Time dilation describes the phenomenon where time passes at different rates for observers in different reference frames that are in motion relative to each other.
2) The proper time between two events is the time interval measured by an observer in the rest frame of the events. For observers in different frames, the time interval is dilated compared to the proper time.
3) Experiments have verified time dilation, such as atomic clocks on airplanes or the lifetime of muons. The twin paradox describes how a twin that travels in a rocket will age less than their identical twin who remains on Earth, even though each twin was stationary in their own reference frame.E portfolio assignment

The document proposes building a refugee camp called Camp Paul Knox in northern Somalia. It would be located near water for access to fishing and agriculture. The camp would need personnel to manage supplies, education, and security. Specific needs would include tents, food, water, and managing changes in population size and weather. The camp aims to provide a stable living environment and social support for refugees, especially vulnerable groups like women, children, and the elderly who make up a large portion of displaced people in Somalia.Physics Powerpoint

2) Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc2 and what it means that mass and energy are different forms of the same thing.
3) The twin paradox thought experiment and how the resolution is that one twin undergoing acceleration causes them to experience different frames of reference and amounts of aging.
4) Factors that could explain Fermi's paradox such as life being unsuitable for Earth conditions or advanced civilizations not existing yet.Physics Reflection

Water pollution is a major problem that affects drinking water quality in the US and worldwide. It contains over 2,000 toxic chemicals that can cause health issues like cancer, and traces of pharmaceutical drugs have been found in the drinking water of over 40 million Americans. A study also found that almost 40 million rural Americans are drinking unsafe water contaminated with toxic metals. To ensure safe drinking water, home water filtration systems should be used to remove harmful chemicals like chlorine. Polluted water has become a leading cause of death, with over 14,000 people dying daily due to contaminated water worldwide.Position Final
