Brian asked:


I’m doing a project for physics and I can’t think of any more examples of physics in everyday life.
Not too complex please, I’m looking for things like waves on a beach (Simple Harmonic Motion), or night vision, binoculars, microscopes, ect…
Be as abstract as you like, thanks.

Amber H asked:


I need some simple physics problems on how physics in dance for a presentation. Thanks!

Patrick Z asked:


Im currently a biology major at a 4 year university and im kind of stuck as to where I want to go with it. I know that science and biology is what im interested in studying, and I like learning about how things work but I have no idea what I want to do career wise. I know I dont want to be a teacher or a doctor, and hoping to still make good money. Any suggestions or experiences that you guys may have had with a similar situation is greatly appreciated, thanks.

meowmix asked:


This fall I am going to be a sophmore in high school. What can I do to prepare for a major in physics in college? Also what is the best university for studying physics?

H asked:


I’m going to be a senior in September and need help. I want to go to college for forensic but i don’t understand the difference between forensic science, forensic biology and forensic chemistry. Can anyone help me?
Also, which one should i major in. I loved going to chemistry everyday, i had an A average in that class. I kind of hated biology, I had an B average. I’m taking forensic science at my high school in the fall.

I am trying to put together a PowerPoint presentation that requires some organic chemistry structures. Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe some free software?

Alex j. asked:


Ok right now im an infantry marine. Once my obligation is over i want to go to school and major in physics. I want an exciting government career without just doing research all the time. what are some career suggestions for physics.

christine u asked:


as we all know, chemistry is the study of matter- it’s composition structure, properties, transformation from one form to another and the energy that accompanies its transformation. But I can’t understand its importance in our home, in industry and in society?

timnuoa asked:


I have already found the UNSW Music acustics page on it, which is very informative, but I am looking for an explanation that is slightly less technical (i’m an 8th grader doing a project, i’m fairly advanced and interested in physics though). I do play flute. Also if you know of a good introduction to acustics of instruments in general, that would be great too.

Philip P asked:


At school, we are starting a Physics Club, full of people in high demand for exciting and cool labs. I don’t think understanding each experiment is necessarily the goal, though it would be for some. What are some cool-to-watch yet somewhat explainable physics experiments?
