Relative Velocity and Riverboat Problems On occasion objects move within a medium that is moving with respect to an observer. For example‚ an airplane usually encounters a wind - air that is moving with respect to an observer on the ground below. As another example‚ a motorboat in a river is moving amidst a river current - water that is moving with respect to an observer on dry land. In such instances as this‚ the magnitude of the velocity of the moving object (whether it be a plane or a motorboat)

Law of Acceleration (1907) by Henry Adams (1838-1918) Images are not arguments‚ rarely even lead to proof‚ but the mind craves them‚ and‚ of late more than ever‚ the keenest experimenters find twenty images better than one‚ especially if contradictory; since the human mind has already learned to deal in contradictions. The image needed here is that of a new center‚ or preponderating mass‚ artificially introduced on earth in the midst of a system of attractive forces that previously

Uniform linear acceleration Introduction This topic is about particles which move in a straight line and accelerate uniformly. Problems can vary enormously‚ so you have to have your wits about you. Problems can be broken down into three main categories: Constant uniform acceleration Time-speed graphs Problems involving two particles Constant uniform acceleration Remember what the following variables represent: t = the time ; a = the acceleration ; u = the initial speed ; v = the final

The Speed of Toy Cars & Measuring Acceleration Introduction: The Speed of Toy Cars & Measuring Acceleration was investigated by using a ticker timer and changing the angle of the ramp. Changing the angle of the ramp affects the speed and acceleration of the trolley. The speed and acceleration of the trolley was determined by using the ticker timer. Aim: The aim of the practical is to investigate the motion and acceleration of a trolley by using a ticker timer and rolling the trolley down a ramp

2: SPEED‚ VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION 2.1 Distance and Displacement • Distance is the total length covered by a moving object irrespective of the direction of motion‚ i.e. only the magnitude is of importance. • Displacement is the distance measured in straight line AND in a specific d__________________. Both magnitude and d_________________ are important. Example 1 A car travels 5 km due east and makes a U-turn back to travel a further distance of 3 km. Find (a) the distance covered‚ (b)

Open-ended Investigation (mass and force) Aim: To show the relationship between Mass‚ the force acting on it‚ and acceleration by gathering data through investigations. Hypothesis: As Mass increases‚ Acceleration Decreases. Therefore‚ Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Introduction A force is a push or pull acting upon an object‚ as a result of its interaction with another object. In a state of motion‚ an object experiences different forces which influences its movement. There are many

Albert is riding his scooter at a velocity of 80 km/h when he sees an old woman crossing the road 45 m away. He immediately steps hard on the brakes to get the maximum acceleration of 7.5 m/square second. how far will he go before stopping? Will he hit the old woman? 3. the time a male bungee jumper if

What does slope of position time graph give? (a) speed (b) acceleration (c) uniform speed [1] (d) Both (a) and (c) depending upon the type of graph. 3. When a body moves uniformly along the circle‚ then:(a) its velocity changes but speed remains the same (b) its speed changes but velocity remains the
