Physics Billiards

Physics in pool. When i play this game i think of Newton's laws.

Physics zero gravity

Zero gravity from the movie "Enders Game" every one should watch. Has a lot to do with physics and very entertaining.

The physics of the Karate Chop

After talking about impulse in class and seeing the experiment we did as a class I began to wonder how is it that a person is able to karate chop a piece of wood. Looking at it from a physics point of view I know that the person would have to be very fast when karate chopping the piece of wood because we know that impulse is a change in momentum and impulse = force times time. In order for the force to be as greatest as possible, the person karate chopping the piece of wood would have to be very quick. This is just looking at the situation form a physics point of view, of course there are other rules and understandings when it comes to karate chopping a piece of wood that only those who practice karate would know. But this just goes to show that physics can be found almost anywhere.

What a way to encourage people in the field of math and physics but is there a problem with the way it selects its winner. its interesting that all 7 winner on Friday were men. Coincidence? I think not.

Car accidents increase when it snows because when the snow turns to ice there is no friction causing cars to slide on the road regardless of the breaks being applied. The car will continue on (according to newtons first law) until a net force acts upon it. Be careful.
