Liquid Pressure

Taken at St. Lukes School, April 2019

This is a bottle with four holes at the same level on a 2 liter soda bottle. This image shows Liquid pressure. Liquid pressure is defined as the increase in pressure at increasing depths in a liquid. Because the holes are all at the same level, the liquid pressure at each of the punctured holes are even. This is because there is an equal amount of water/weight above those holes. This concept is evident in the photo, because the water is being shot out of the holes the same distance, and evenly.

Density

Taken at St. Lukes School, April 2019

This image represents the physics concept of density. Density is defined as the compactness of a substance, and is calculate by the formula d=m/v. The density of water is known to be 1 g/cm3 . In this image, we see two cubes of oak and copper in the water. The oak is floating on top of the water, but the copper has sunk to the bottom. This is due to the properties of density. Oak has a density of 0.85 g/cm3, and Copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm3 . If the density of a substance is lower than that of water, it floats in water, and if the density of a substance is greater than water, it will sink.

Reflection

Taken at Camp Towanda, July 2018

This picture clearly exemplifies the physics concept of reflections. Reflection is the abrupt change in the direction of an image of a wave that strikes the boundary between different mediums. In this photo, reflections is evident by the image reflected off the lake. For example, the inflatable slide is reflected off the lake, however, it is reflected upside down, which is a property of reflections.
