  2. Google Science Fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Science_Fair

    The Google Science Fair was a worldwide (excluding Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar/Burma, Syria, Zimbabwe and any other U.S. sanctioned country [1]) online science competition sponsored by Google, Lego, Virgin Galactic, National Geographic and Scientific American. [2] [3] [4] It was an annual event spanning the years 2011 through 2018.

  3. Action at a distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_at_a_distance

    In antiquity, ideas about the natural world were not organized in these terms. Objects in motion were modeled as living beings. [1] Around 1600, the scientific method began to take root. René Descartes held a more fundamental view, developing ideas of matter and action independent of theology.

  4. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

  5. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    is the velocity of the Man relative to the Train, v T ∣ E {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} _{T\mid E}} is the velocity of the T rain relative to E arth. Fully legitimate expressions for "the velocity of A relative to B" include "the velocity of A with respect to B" and "the velocity of A in the coordinate system where B is always at rest".

  6. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    In terms of a displacement-time (x vs. t) graph, the instantaneous velocity (or, simply, velocity) can be thought of as the slope of the tangent line to the curve at any point, and the average velocity as the slope of the secant line between two points with t coordinates equal to the boundaries of the time period for the average velocity.

  7. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  8. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    Let them move in opposite directions along the x* axis, considered at rest, at the same speed with respect to it. Endpoints A'A" then meet at point A*, and B'B" meet at point B*. Einstein pointed out that length A*B* is shorter than A'B' or A"B", which can also be demonstrated by bringing one of the rods to rest with respect to that axis. [28]

  9. Action (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(physics)

    In the simple case of a single particle moving with a constant velocity (thereby undergoing uniform linear motion), the action is the momentum of the particle times the distance it moves, added up along its path; equivalently, action is the difference between the particle's kinetic energy and its potential energy, times the duration for which ...
