Physics / Theories Explained
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that identifies the different branches of classical physics; identifies the two primary theories of modern physics and offers a brief description of advances made in the science during the 20th Century. Eightfold Way theory, or the theory of groupings, is explained. Bibliography included.

Properties and Uses of Steel Beams
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page overview of steel beam
used and selection criteria. General uses examined are applications in auto making; bridge
construction and repair; and in building construction. Different properties are used in each
of these broad applications, and the steel industry continues searching for greater
alterations preserving steel's strength while providing less mass. Includes an appendix
with 2 tables. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Quantum Mechanics
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper that provides an overview of the progression from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics. This paper begins with the developments of Max Planck and considers a number of major theories, including Einstein's theory of relativity, and their application for quantum theory. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Relativity
[ send me this paper ]
Relativity is the science of putting the world into perspective. This 5 page paper explores the meaning of time as well as relativity as explained by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld in the book, The Evolution Of Physics. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Revolutions In Physics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The manner by which ideas of Ernst Mach, Henri Poincare, Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg represent a revolution in physics becomes significantly clear when one examines the extent to which science has modified human existence, particularly when compared with Newtonian physics from the previous century. Understanding each man's unique contributions provides for the student to gain a better perspective upon just how much of an impact their respective discoveries had upon the entire global population. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

ROBERT GODDARD AND ROCKETS
[ send me this paper ]
This 6-page paper examines the life and biography of scientist Robert Goddard, and how his studies in rocketry during the early 20th century ultimately led to the success of the U.S. space program. Also touched on is how Germany used Goddard's theories to invent the V-2 rocket, the forerunner of the rockets that eventually landed the Apollo spacecrafts on the moon. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Rockets and Newton's Second Law of Motion
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the
operation of a rocket as proof for Newton's second law, f = ma, and also briefly discusses Mach's
ability to condense all of Newton's three laws of motion into a single one. All of Newton's laws of
motion - or Mach's single derivation - come into play with the launch and operation of a rocket.
The very action of a rocket can be said to prove Newton's second law. Bibliography lists 7
sources.

Stephen Hawking’s Book, “A Brief History of Time”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page book report on the renowned scientist’s consideration of the significance of time in the universe. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Superconductors; Super Science?
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page paper examines superconductors and superconductivity. The paper is written in the style of a science magazine article giving an overview of the subject. The writer outlines what superconductors are, who they work and brief history of their development before going on to look at their current and future potential in a wide range of uses form transportation and medial science through to warfare. The writer also looks at the occurrence of type one and type two superconductors including the their frequency on the periodic table and those that operate at the highest temperatures. The bibliography cites 8 sources.
