It displays a series of pedagogical short videos about science, including physics. Saint Mary's Physics Demonstrations is an online repository for physics classroom demonstrations. [37] It shows teachers the experiments they can do in class while also hosting videos of said experiments.
Rumford had observed the frictional heat generated by boring out cannon barrels at the arsenal in Munich.At that time, cannons were cast at the foundry with an extra section of metal forward of what would become the muzzle, and this section was removed and discarded later in the manufacturing process.
MinutePhysics also has made two videos that were narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson [13] [14] and one video narrated by Tom Scott. [15] The channel also collaborated with physicist Sean M. Carroll in a five-part video series on time and entropy and with Grant Sanderson on a video about a lost lecture of physicist Richard Feynman , as well as a ...
In China, for example, with the former specializing in nuclear power research (i.e. nuclear engineering), and the latter closer to engineering physics. [5] In some universities and their institutions, an engineering (or applied) physics major is a discipline or specialization within the scope of engineering science, or applied science. [6] [7 ...
In cosmology, the cosmological constant problem or vacuum catastrophe is the substantial disagreement between the observed values of vacuum energy density (the small value of the cosmological constant) and the much larger theoretical value of zero-point energy suggested by quantum field theory.
Tatiana L. Erukhimova (Татьяна Ерухимова) is a Russian-born American physicist. As a professor and The Marshall L’ 69 and Ralph F. Shilling ’68 Endowed Chair in the Department of Physics & Astronomy [1] at Texas A&M University, Erukhimova was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society "for developing and disseminating innovative physics education programs for college ...
The occupation is called physics educator or physics teacher. Physics education research refers to an area of pedagogical research that seeks to improve those methods. Historically, physics has been taught at the high school and college level primarily by the lecture method together with laboratory exercises aimed at verifying concepts taught ...
Solid mechanics is fundamental for civil, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical and mechanical engineering, for geology, and for many branches of physics and chemistry such as materials science. [1] It has specific applications in many other areas, such as understanding the anatomy of living beings, and the design of dental prostheses and surgical ...
