In order for an archer to be successful at their sport, they must have a general understanding of geometry to reach their peak performance. From knowing elbow and bow arm angles to the calculating the Draw Weight, these uses of geometry are crucial to ensuring the arrow will land center of the target. Because most archery tournaments take place in the outdoors to replicate the history of the sport, there are several independent variables that the archer cannot control. But to ensure that the archer

Jesus, Light Of The World Sir Isaac Newton is the first human to understand the nature of rainbows, the white light passing through a prism and expanding to the 7 colors makes up the spectrum of light. Newton's prism experiment lasts for years, hoping to one day understand how all the colors together create white light. Through the process he creates his book, Newton's Opticks recording all his findings. The MITk12's video recreates what Newton possibly did to come about with the whole idea

Just a few months ago, I was arguing with my mother about how chemistry is pretty much everywhere and no one seems to appreciate it. People do not get curious about how we are always using chemistry. It is like if people give for granted that things are the way they are because it is just the way it is. I have listened to the same phrase over and over again every time that I take a chemistry class, “why should we even have to take chemistry? It is not like I am using it every day!” The truth is chemistry

Over the course of time, there has always been an occupational job for earth scientists. The astronomer studies celestial objects like stars and constellations, while oceanographers study the ocean and what is in it. Other careers consist of studying rocks and minerals (geology), examining fossils to know what life was like during the prehistoric times (paleontology), and seismology, the study of earthquakes. The area of science that stood out to me the most was oceanography. One area in the field

Being an overachiever can sometimes be a good and bad situation. I always loved mathematics. Learning equations and plugging numbers into complex equations to get a correct answer, what an easy subject right? That all changed when I reached AP Calculus AB. This math class prepared me for a college exam and also to receive a taste of college math. Do I need this class? Of course not. My major has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of math, but being that overachiever I am, I insisted on taking

Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 (Dated: March 4, 2014) In response to national calls to better align physics laboratory courses with the way physicists engage in research, we have developed an epistemology and expectations survey to assess how students perceive the nature of physics experiments in the contexts of laboratory courses and the professional research laboratory. The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS)

student of Hermann Muller, a mathematician that taught him astronomy and mechanics along with mathematics. This is when Planck first got an interest in physics and learned the principle of conservation of energy. He began the studies in 1874 at the University of Munich and studied theoretical physics. After he graduated, he taught math and physics briefly. Planck completed his habilitation thesis and began lecturing in Munich without getting paid becuase he was waiting to be offered a new postion

The Physics of Volleyball Forces, acceleration, gravity, projectile motion, and many other such things make volleyball the game that it is. Volleyball is a sport that includes many aspects of Physics some of these are very basic concepts while others are more advanced. Better understanding of these concepts could improve a player’s game. Physics explains and elucidates the basic fundamentals of volleyball and why one should perform them in such a way. Displacement

and often vague aesthetic judgments that it might be expected that we would be helped also by philosophy, out of which after all our science evolved. Can philosophy give us any guidance toward a final theory? The value today of philosophy to physics seems to me to be something like the value of early nation-states to their peoples. It is only a small exaggeration to say that, until the introduction of the post office, the chief service of nation-states was to protect their peoples from other

Yagulardi Tanumihardja 1. Socrates states that “I regard such theories as no doubt attractive, but as the invention of clever, industrious people” implying that he disagrees with the men of science who just have the plain view of scientific and probability account of how the maiden was blown by a gust of boreas instead of finding the real truth about the appearance of centaurs and countless other remarkable monsters of legend flocking in them. He also mentions that “to reduce every one of them
