This poster was based off of a lab called Detecting Motion. The lab used a motion detector to record motion on a graph. I had to look at the slopes on the position v. time graph and figure out where and how to move. Once I did that, I looked at the graph that was connected to the motion detector to see if it matched.
Through this lab, I learned that positive slopes represented moving forward. Negative slopes meant moving backward. While speed was increasing or decreasing on a position v. time graph, it was staying constant on a velocity v. time graph. The exponential slopes on both graphs represent acceleration.
This lab recorded the speeds of different cars at certain distances. The battery-powered cars go the distance listed in the table, and the time is recorded. There are 2 types of cars. There is a blue car that is slower, and a red car that is much faster. So, the times in the middle column of the table are much smaller than the ones in the right because those times were recorded by the red car.
In the right image, it shows the slope and speed of the cars. The red line represents the red(fast) car, and the blue line represents the blue(slow) car. Through this lab, I learned that the slope of the red car is much steeper than the blue car's slope because the speed is greater. I found the speed by choosing a point on the line of best fit, and putting it into this equation: y2 - y1 x2 - x1.
This piece showcases the work of a Hispanic scientist in the field of Physics. I chose to use acrylic sheets because I believed it would give the feel that I was envisioning and I wanted some parts to be clear like glass. It is supposed to look a certain way when everything is lined up from a certain perspective. I like how perceptual art can look different depending on how one views it. The panels represent looking the the lense of a magnifying glass to see the element, higgs boson, among the dark matter surrounding it. I was inspired to create this piece from the perceptual art of Michael Murphy.
Marcela Carena is a theoretical physicist born in Argentina. She worked to receive her bachelor’s degree in Physics from the Instituto Balseiro Bariloche in Argentina. She received her Ph.D from the University of Hamburg and was a CERN member from 1993 to 1995. Carena is currently the Head of the Theoretical Physics Femi National Department.
She is researching the possible connections between Higgs physics, supersymmetry, unifiction, and dark matter. Marcela Carena has created a particle physics model that describes the matter-antimatter-asymmetry of the universe. She also was one of the firsts to explore searches for dark matter and Higgs boson at the LHC, which is what I have decided to do my project on.
Our task was to build a model house with installed circuits that light up the house. The base for my house was used out of a cardboard box and I added wood flooring to both levels. I have technically four rooms: kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. I also have three different circuits that light the fireplace, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. They are series, parallel, and complex. All of the circuits consist of at least two lights, a battery, and a switch.
