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.

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.

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.
