UK Space Design Competition
So last weekend, I did something pretty exciting: I actually got a chance to use some physics. I went to Imperial College London, with a...
Moments
The moment of a force (or torque) is defined as the magnitude of the applied force, times the perpendicular distance of that force to the...
Maximum Power Theorem
How do you get the maximum power output across a component? As you increase it's resistance, it gets a larger share of the voltage, but...
Scorched Earth
Time for something really exciting... the mother of all games... Scorched Earth! Haven't heard of it? Well, it's a tanks game from the...
The Value of Mechanics
Mechanics is an exact science. Well, it's an exact science based off of an approximation (but if you account for relativity I suppose it...
Progress Report
It's all coming together!! As of today, I have written and posted more pages of notes than Msdz27 had revision notes- that means that...
Never Give up
Sometimes you just want to stop. It's pretty common, really- I did my Silver Duke of Edinburgh this weekend, and giving up was pretty...
Difficult Solutions
Copper is three times as dense as aluminium, and has half the resistivity- what is the ratio between the mass of two equal lengths of...
Knowledge
Hi there. This isn't really a physics based post, at least, not in the strong sense. I'm not going to talk about kinematics or explain...
Taking the plunge
Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. I haven't published this website until now, because I don't want it floating around with no...
