The subject of this year’s top microscope photo in the 36th annual Nikon Small World competition looks more like neon suspension bridges or sailboats than what it really is: mosquito heart muscle magnified 100 times.
The image, which used flourescence technology to highlight different parts of the specimen, stood out as one of the most beautiful of the entries. “Mosquitoes remain one of the greatest scourges of mankind,” said winner Jonas King of Vanderbilt University in a press release Oct. 13. See Also: The Physics of Angry Birds | Wired Science You know the game, I know you know. Angry Birds. I have an attraction to games like this. You can play for just a little bit at a time (like that) and each time you shoot, you could get a slightly different result. Oh, you don’t know Angry Birds? Well, the basic idea is that you launch these birds (which are apparently angry) with a sling shot. The goal is to knock over some pigs. Seriously, that is the game. But what about the physics? I think for later Angry Bird analysis, I will make my own videos. How do you get the data from the bird? One more thing. Now on to the data.
What does this mean? Yes, it is that simple. What about the vertical motion? Oh, I forgot to point out that the missing data in the graph is from where the bird went off the screen. The value in front of the t2 term should be 1/2 times the acceleration. That is one big ole sling shot, 5 meters tall? See Also:
