I my visit to endeavor space shuttle was technical and it has loaded my mind with tons of
experience which I have never experienced it before. I have visited this space arena near the
Pasadena along with friends and it has taught me a new phase of my life which I have never dealt
with. It has memorized the new equations which I have never understood in physics. The main
concept of this visit was to recall all the equations which I have read in the class and relate those
equations with the practical exposure and how they are related to my class. There are many ways
physics has influenced in our daily life and the equations which are used to calculate the thrust
power, friction and force components of the air craft. There I have witnessed

I have also seen use of fluid dynamics in the where they should look after the density for
fuel and also how the mass of the fuel can have an impact on the plane there are equations which
are stated according to the pascal where pascal law states that product of force and area will be
equal so according to that we can see that how the fluids change and the force and area has
impact on aircraft. I have also seen the steering of the aircraft which helps in studying the vehicle
dynamics and the laws which are used to main the equilibrium conditions in which we can know
that forces should be equal to zero when they are in equilibrium conditions. There was also an
photograph of a flight deck where controls of an aircraft’s where located and from this we can
see that there were knobs, gauges and other equipment’s which are useful in the lab to measure
the diameter of any object and there were almost 20000 gauges which are helpful in controlling
the space craft when it is in air. The rocket science also helps in knowing about the laws

These boosters work on the principle of momentum where
momentum is directly related to Force and distance and which is given by the equation
Momentum= Force * Distance
This equation helps in understanding the momentum of the space craft and how the space craft
will moves towards the space and how they calculate the force of the aircraft the important
aspect which I have learned in this is how this concepts of the physics are related to our real life.
And I have also witnessed the engine switch where main parts of engine witnessed and which
consists of the shaft and how the boosters operate and what are the main ides behind the power
which is calculated using the formula work done by a space craft per second. The scenarios of
living conditions of the astronauts inside the space craft has also been witnessed which explains
there way of life and the other important thing is drag force which is helpful in knowing the
friction and how friction will be helpful in determining the importance of coefficient of friction
and components of friction when they are horizontal and in vertical
Furthermore, using a graduated cylinder with markings below the 100 mL line would have allowed for more accurate measurements of the initial volume of air in the graduated cylinder.
In this paper you will learn so much about rockets you can become a rocket specialist. Many may ask how do rockets work? Many will respond that they are pushed against something but that is wrong. Since rocket's main purpose are to travel in space where there is nothing, not even air they can not rely on “something” to push themselves against in space. This is the right answer to how rockets work; Rockets use fuel, they burn the fuel and it turns into hot gas.
Space travel began in the 1960s with sending humans on single missions into space. Rockets launched into the air and just the tip would land in the ocean after parachuting back to Earth ("Space Shuttle Program," par. 4). The focus of space exploration changed during the 1980s; shifting from the desire for human space flight to the desire to create a reusable spacecraft. Originally called Space Transportation System (STS), NASA created the Space Shuttle Program (SSP) (Heiney, par. 1-2). It wanted a shuttle that was more economical because it could be launched, landed and relaunched and could gather better information. The 1980s began a new era in space exploration and had one the biggest tragedies in the history of space travel.
In 1687, Newton published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (also known as Principia). The Principia was the “climax of Newton's professional life” (“Sir Isaac Newton”, 370). This book contains not only information on gravity, but Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. The First Law states that an object in constant motion will remain in motion unless an outside force is applied. The Second Law states that an object accelerates when a force is applied to a mass and greater force is needed to accelerate an object with a larger mass. The Third Law states that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. These laws were fundamental in explaining the elliptical orbits of planets, moons, and comets. They were also used to calculate
INTRODUCTION Attention-getter: “Space travel benefits us here on Earth. And we ain’t stopped yet. There’s more exploration to come.” (Nichelle Nichols from Star Trek) Credibility: Throughout our childhood as we study space, solar systems, planets we all come to a point of having the dream of exploring the space or learn more about it in the future.
In this inquiry the relationship between force and mass was studied. This inquiry presents a question: when mass is increased is the force required to move it at a constant velocity increased, and how large will the increase be? It is obvious that more massive objects takes more force to move but the increase will be either linear or exponential. To hypothesize this point drawing from empirical data is necessary. When pulling an object on the ground it is discovered that to drag a four-kilogram object is not four times harder than dragging a two-kilogram object. I hypothesize that increasing the mass will increase the force needed to move the mass at a constant rate, these increases will have a liner relationship.
The acceleration of a body or object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body or object and is inversely
states that "a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal the weight

In our text we began our study of physics with motion because motion is a dominant characteristic of the Universe (Kirkpatrick, 21). In class we learned that speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken, s=d/t. The definition of velocity is very close to that of speed except that direction of an object is also taken into account.
Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.
In conclusion, physics is involved in all things around us. Whether in a classroom, in a car, or playing basketball physics concepts can be applied to the action. Although it is not very practical for a person to stop and calculate the angle, velocity, and position, the use of physics does make it understandable and possible. As much as the physics of basketball seems insignificant and ludicrous, to calculate the principles are in fact very valuable to a player without them even knowing they are doing physics.
Sir Isaac Newton is the man well known for his discoveries around the term, Motion. He came up with three basic ideas, called Newton’s three laws of motion.
The humble aeroplane commonly known as the airplane or just plane has become a staple of everyday life for the majority of us. Aeroplanes are used for a vast variety of reasons, the most common being transporting people long distances in a very short amount of time. However, this is not the only role that they play in society, they are used for many other things such as; transportation of goods, recreation, military and research. Aeroplanes are a fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust, usually from a jet engine or propeller. This essay will discuss the history of how this technology that we know and love came to fruition and how it reached the market through diffusion.
