PHY110_Spring21_finalproject Physics 110 Spring 2021 Final Project – instructions and evaluation rubric The final project is a multi-part, multi-media activity with the following objectives: (1) Learning an overview of the frontiers of modern and contemporary physics (2) Exploring in detail one area or aspect of physics and how it connects to your life (3) Expressing your comprehension and connections in a significant academic creative work (4) Communicating that work to an audience that can then evaluate it critically and effectively There are several components to this work, each with significant space for individual expression and effort. Portions of the project will be due, in final or draft form, at different times, with the full project due by 11:59pm, Monday, May 17, 2021. Importantly, the project is to be turned in by email to the address wciworth at gmail.com, and must be an attachment at most 10 Megabytes in size. You are welcome to link larger, supplemental materials from a publicly accessible online location, such as a shared drive or YouTube channel, in which case a transcript or detailed description of that work must be included in the project that is turned in by email. PART ONE: The art of physics Read the article “Mingling Art and Science Opens Minds” and experience its online supplemental material about physics, art, and music, as published in the April 2021 issue of Physics Today (the online links were provided in class). Write a two-page essay, approximately 600 words long. - Summarize the content of the article and its supplemental information - Choose one or two of the specific art projects described there in and critique it - Discuss what kind[s] of art you might wish to connect with the physics in this course and how PART TWO: The formulae of physics (first section due 11:59pm Sunday, 5/2/2021; second section due 11:59pm Sunday, 5/9/2021) Physics can be eloquently expressed using the symbolic language of mathematics. The core of this course can be communicated through the following five formulae: F = ma (Newton’s second law of motion) dU = TdS – PdV (the thermodynamic identity) v = f λ (the velocity of a wave) VI = P (the electric power formula) E = mc2 (the energy mass equation) Like any language, mathematics can be simultaneously simple and confusing. For example, in the way many English words can carry different meanings in different sentences, the letter “V” appears three times in those five formulae, and means something different each time. So for each formula, - Write a paragraph explaining what the formula means and what each term of the formula means - Describe a question that relates to your life that uses the equation to calculate the answer - Make the calculation and provide the correct solution PART THREE: The frontiers of physics (first section due 11:59pm Sunday, 5/2/2021; second section due 11:59pm Sunday, 5/9/2021) Each of the short videos listed below tells a story of one area of physics that has been a modern or contemporary frontier of human knowledge. For each video write one paragraph, 50-100 words long, describing and summarizing the content of each video, and giving your personal reaction to the video in terms of what it made you think about and what you found interesting. If the direct link to any video fails, search YouTube on the title of the video or ask the professor.

Physics 110 Spring 2021 Final Project
PART ONE: The art of physics
Today, in conjunction with the replacement of the arts from the sciences, the arts, as a means of explanation, or illustration, science is not a science to be explored by the artists in order to, perhaps, the most unique, collaborative, what is the scientific term. While the science is not, rely on the art, he says that the science is "an integral part of the world of art" rather than as the tools and technologies that are already together with it, the appeal of the artwork.
From the beginning, Pelling's research group a
t the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Physics, composed of scientists and artists, sculptors, painters, digital media, artists, and others; for the moment, the 3 of about 15 members in the art. "When you're standing in front of a painting or a sculpture, there is no right or wrong answers, so that people will feel more comfortable opening up," says Moxey, who had previously worked in the heavy-ion theory at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and now the focus is on physical training, with a focus on the intersection between physics and art.
The science and art are often divided, as is the sub disciplines in the field of science. In 2003, the new head of the Centre for the Natural and Geological Processes in Oslo, Norway, finland, the Bear Jamtveit attracted the interest of artists, photographers, and other artists to collaborate with researchers at the centre of the city. For instance, the " cross-disciplinary cooperation is able to focus the attention of the who, what, and how, curiosity, caring, and of the extraordinary people involved in science." In the story, one can find many examples of the collaboration between the arts and sciences, the visual arts, including paintings, simulation, and photography. "Every artist that I know of, are engaged in the research world, and the scholars," says Pelling. Attended by researchers at the University of Oslo's city Centre to the Physical, and Geological Processes in an Arctic expedition in Svalbard, in order to investigate the interaction between the rock types and the existence of life in Mars environment. More examples of co-operation, science and the arts can be found in the online version of this story.)
Tony Feder explores how the arts can contribute to the ability to communicate, visualize, inspire scholarship. Scientists are supposed to be unbiased, but it is often to see what they're looking for, or what they believe is a sign that says Jamwait, which will require cooperation, first of all to increase the chances of additional funds, to a supervisor, but, next year, at the out-reach work.
Chixel Array is a light sculpture made of stuff bought from a dollar store and scavenged from the garbage. They have also been studying a new polymer scaffold developed by a textile artist in the lab. When you involve more people in your research, you get more new ideas.
After viewing Little Shop of Horrors, Andrew Pelling and his research group wondered if they could create a plant with muscles. Of Randomness and Imperfection is a work in progress that compares sounds distorted by random numbers generated by quantum and classical processes.
Geoprint is a series by artist Ellen Karin Mæhlum.
PART TWO: The formulae of physics
First formula is F = ma, Newton’s second law of motion. States that the force F acting on a body is equal to the mass m of the body multiplied by the acceleration a  of its centre of mass, F = ma.
Question: Calculate the net force required to give a car of mass 1400 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s2.
Answer:  Using the following formula F=ma
Given details are m= 1400 kg & a=5 m/s2
F=ma, So, F= 1600 * 5 =8000N
So the force required is 8000N
Second formula is dU = TdS – PdV , it is known as thermodynamic identity. It is derived from first and second law of Thermodynamics. Here U is Internal energy, S is entropy, T is temperature, P is pressure and V is volume.
Question- Calculate change in internal energy of a system at 273 K when 0.5 mole of an Ideal gas expanded adiabatically in vaccum from 1 lt. to 10 lt.
Answer As process is adiabatic, so change in entropy of system is zero. Work is done against constant external pressure i.e. P=0
So change in internal energy
dU = TdS - PdV
= 273*0-0*(10-1)
= 0
Third formula is v = f λ, this equation is known as Wave Equation. It describes the mathematical relationship between the speed (v) of a wave and its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f). 
Question- The speed of a wave in an ocean is 900 m/s. If 3000 waves passes over a certain point of the ocean in 2 minutes, then compute its wavelength?
Answer- Speed of a wave v = 900 ms-1
Freq. of wave = no. of waves passing per sec (n)
= 3000 waves/2min
= 3000 / 2×60 = 25 sec-1
Wave length = λ
v = nλ , λ = v/n
Wavelength = 900/25 =36m
Wavelength = 36m
Fourth formula is P=VI, this formula is used for calculation of electric power. Here
P= Power,
V= Voltage,
I= current
Question- Calculate the power consumed by a bulb if voltage across it is 220V and currents flows in the bulb is 2 ampere.
Answer - P=VI
P=220*2
P=440 Volt-ampere or 440 Watt
Fifth formula is E=mc2, , according to this formula , mass and energy are inter-convertible. This is given by Einstein’s as E=mc2. Where, m is the mass in kilograms, c is the velocity of light in a vacuum c ≅3×108 m/s.
Question- The energy equivalent of 0.5 g of a substance would be equal to?
Answer- From mass-energy equivalence,
E = mc2
= 0.5×10−3×9×1016
= 4.5×1013 J
PART THREE: The frontiers of physics
Video 01
Government has kept the secret of atomic bombs being developed and tested in the United States. However, Kodak, camera company discovered what the government was up to, months before anyone else. Initially, the nature and severity of the blasts were kept secret, but the photography industry would somehow got access to certain details because of some radioactive corn. The Trinity nuclear tests took place on July 16, 1945, which was few weeks before the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan to end WWII. Kodak's headquarters at the time was 3,000 km away from the site of the nuclear tests in New Mexico. After the Trinity explosions, Kodak started receiving a much higher than average number of complaints from customers that their film was foggy on being developed.  Webb's discovery that fallout from the Trinity...
