Degree Congregations July 2011 the Inauguration of the University of Manchester The University of Manchester Degree Congregations July 2011 The Inauguration of The University of Manchester At midnight on 30 September 2004, UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester were dissolved and the single institution of The University of Manchester came into existence. The formal Inauguration of the University took place on Friday, 22 October 2004 when Her Majesty The Queen visited the campus to personally present the University’s new Royal Charter to Co-Chancellor Anna Ford at a special ceremony held in the Whitworth Hall. The new institution has a distinguished heritage. It can trace its roots back to the formation of the Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, which later became UMIST. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851 and became England’s first civic university in 1880. The two universities first began working together almost 100 years ago. They were situated on neighbouring campuses and this enabled them to develop a number of joint courses, departments and services. They took the decision to merge in 2003. The creation of The University of Manchester has been hailed as one of the boldest and most ambitious initiatives in higher education. This pioneering spirit carries on today, with the aim to become one of the world’s top 25 universities by 2015 backed by an ongoing £650 million investment programme in staff and facilities – the largest such investment programme in British higher education. From the President and Vice-Chancellor I welcome you all –graduands, family members and friends – to The University of Manchester for this degree congregation. This is a time of celebration for all of us and I very much hope that you find it an enjoyable occasion. As each graduand is presented for conferment of their degree, the University shares with you all a great sense of pride in the award they have worked so hard to attain. For those of you graduating today, these ceremonies mark not the end of your relationship with the University but the start of a new stage. It is my hope that the links between the University and you will grow ever stronger and I look forward to you becoming an active member of the University’s alumni body. I wish you every success for the future and that you all have a truly memorable day. Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell President and Vice-Chancellor 1 The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences is large and The quality, breadth and volume of research activity at the Faculty of comprehensive with nine component schools: Chemical Engineering and Engineering and Physical Sciences is unrivalled.

  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.
