Thank You Mr. Edison! History of Electricity in the
U.S.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Prior to the electric light bulb,
illumination was by fire from candles, kerosene
and oil lamps, and coal-gas jets. With the advent
of electricity, the advantages of electric lamps
for interior lighting over flickering, sooty, open
flames were readily apparent, and demand for
electricity skyrocketed. The excitement and
enthusiasm over electricity's beginnings could be
heard from one coast to the next. (Newspaper
accounts are used as reporting tools)

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.
