The Physics of the Golf Swing
[ send me this paper ]
Everything in the universe demonstrates some form of motion, and motion can be evaluated through the application of a number of physical properties and laws. Even the initiation and swing of a golf club can be evaluated as a physical process and laws of physics and motion, including Newton's Laws of Motion, can be applied to this simple task. This 5 page paper reflects the application of a number of physical properties and laws of physics to the golf swing. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Study of the Mechanics of Materials
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the mechanics of materials as used in civil engineering. The mechanics of materials is an important area of study within the civil engineering discipline which examines the properties of materials under a variety of conditions which may be present in the field. In order for materials to be used within design, industrial and other projects, materials must be tested for their structural strength in the areas of stress, strain, fatigue and types of deformation and other aspects before being applied in any operational system.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Trebuchet
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page description of this medieval tool of war. The author describes both the mechanics and the physics that affect trebuchet function. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: PPsling.rtf
The van der Waals equation
[ send me this paper ]
A paper which looks at the life and career of van der Waals and explains the importance of the van der Waals Equation of State in the development of molecular science. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
Filename: JLvdwaal.rtf
The Varieties of Quantum Reality
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper goes into eight types of realities as suggested by Nick Herbert, but focuses only on a few. The paper concludes that the many worlds perspective is the most logical. Bibliography lists 7 sources
Filename: SA148Q.rtf
Time Travel: Possibilities
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page paper examines various sources that discuss the possibility of time travel, and concludes that while it is unlikely, it is impossible to say definitively that it will never be possible to travel in time. Because we cannot say “no” in all cases, we have to leave the possibility open and say that yes, time travel might be possible, though not for a very long time and then probably with technology we cannot currently imagine. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
