For this assignment, I would like you to watch at least three (3) episodes of Mythbusters. Episodes still run on cable TV, and are available online at The Discovery Channel (Links to an external site.) or on YouTube (Links to an external site.).Your task is to choose three (3) myths, one (1) from each episode. You must choose myths which are either Busted or Confirmed but not Probable. Each myth's resolution must be based on a scientific principle which we have learned about in this course (such as Conservation of Energy, Newton's Third Law, etc). Write a one-page (double-spaced) essay on what each myth was about, with a paragraph describing the myth itself, another paragraph describing what the Mythbusters did and the myth's outcome, and a short paragraph showing the connection to the appropriate scientific principle.

identify the classical physics principles contained  within the following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to  work done by Galileo or Newton. Finally, consider the different fields  in which Galileo and Newton did research, and give an example of one of  these fields in use in your life. For instance, Newton developed the  field of optics. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you are using  Newton's physical optics theories every day. Aside from glasses or  contacts, how do the theories of Newton or Galileo affect you in your  daily life? Scenario Mandy took a trip to  Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as her  airplane began its descent to her final destination. She could watch the  Sun setting in the west. Over the Eastern horizon peeked a full moon,  just rising, displaying its cratered face. As the plane neared the  ground, Mandy could not help but think that she was in a giant metal  object hurtling through the sky. Without the specific shape of its  wings, the plane would fall to the ground no differently than a large  metal projectile. Deliverable 2 - Electricity, Magnetism, and Light Compare/Contrast Paper Competency Connect the principles of electricity, magnetism, and light to modern applications of physics. Instructions In  a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the  following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to electricity,  magnetism, or light in modern applications in physics. Finally,  consider the different concepts in which James Clerk Maxwell did  research, and give an example of one of these concepts in use in your  life. For instance, Maxwell's research led to the development of radio  waves. If you listen to a radio, then you are using Maxwell's research.  Provide another example from your own experience, compare, and contrast  your scenario to the provided scenario below. Scenario Mandy  took a trip to Rome, Italy. Once landed and inside the terminal, she  turned her cell phone back on, but it was not charged. She found a  charging station with a USB adaptor port. The USB was universal,  providing 5 volts in any country you were in, and a small red LED next  to her phone's screen told her the phone was successfully charging. This  USB port seemed to have very high amperage, meaning it charged her  phone quickly. She was aware, though, that almost all of Italy's  electricity was generated by burning fossil fuels, and thus she was  determined after this to use the portable solar charger she had bought  rather than wall electricity. Deliverable 3 - Einstein's Physics Compare/Contrast Paper Competency Point out how Einstein’s special and general relativity theories impact modern technology. Instructions In  a two-page paper, identify the physics principles contained within the  following scenario. Explain how these principals connect to Einstein's  theory of relativity or in modern applications in physics. If you use a  GPS option on your car or a mobile device, you are using Einstein's  theory of relativity. Finally, provide another example from your own  experience, then compare and contrast your scenario to the provided  example below. Scenario Mandy took a trip  to Rome, Italy. She gazed out over the open ocean 20,000 feet below as  her airplane began its descent to her final destination of Rome. It had  been a long flight from New York to Rome, but she as she stretched, and  her bones creaked as though she was old, she knew that in fact, she was a  tiny bit younger than her compatriots back home, thanks to traveling at  hundreds of miles per hour. In fact, time for her was running slowly  compared to her friends in New York for two reasons: the speed at which  she had traveled and the height of the airplane above the Earth.  Neither, though, were noticeable. Deliverable 4 - Quantum Mechanics Research Paper Competency Outline the major features of quantum mechanics and how they are applied to various fields. Instructions In  a two-page paper, research three examples of technologies that use  quantum mechanics. Explain, in your own words, how these applications  impact society. If you or someone you know has ever had an MRI scan for a  medical diagnosis, you have experienced the result of quantum physics  for measuring bodily structures. Finally, provide another specific  example from your own life that could be influenced by these  applications. Deliverable 5 - Vlog presentation Competency When  possible, synthesize content from the individual course modules. Your  content should expand, elaborate, and evolve from the activities in the  individual modules, and coalesce to present a cohesive message to the  viewer. Instructions Using any slide share  or movie making software, you can utilize information gathered  throughout the course to create a visual travel log. This multi-media  presentation will include images, video, and voice over dialogue  consisting of a mix of research and original content that demonstrates  your analysis of course concepts. The movie will be accompanied by a  paper that supplies the dialogue for the visuals of your film. You  may use examples of physics principles in use in everyday life that you  previously gave as examples in Modules 01-06, but you cannot reuse the  same wording as used in previous modules. For example, if you had  mentioned using glasses for Module 03, you can once again bring up that  concept here, but you cannot read from your Module 03 submission paper. Requirements Three-minute video in MPEG-4 format. Original voice over (written) dialogue and accompanying paper. Images that help "tell your story." 30 seconds of original video connecting your experience to your topic. Narrative concept Imagine you are a writer for Physics Today  (or insert whatever physics pop journal you wish), and you are to  create a travel vlog for your an overseas trip. In your presentation,  your editor wants you to include all relative physics concepts that you  encounter in your journey. For the heart of the presentation, your editor has deemed it essential to address the following core issues and questions: Identify physics principles in various real-world examples. Identify the use of the scientific method in a modern physical problem. Identify the use of classical physics principles in relation to a real life situation. Identify physics principles in various real-world examples, and connect to your own experience. Identify physics principles in various real-world examples and modern technology. Identify a technology that uses quantum mechanics, and connect to your own experience.
