    Lab Conclusion When comparing the average speed results from part two of the lab and the definition of acceleration‚ you find similarities between the two. First‚ average speed is distance divided by time‚ and we use it to describe the motion of an object moving at changing speeds. We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum

    The point where the centripetal acceleration is provided completely by gravity is when the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravity. This happens at the point where h=r/2. As the truck moves from point A to point B‚ it would have decreased in height by r. Applying this again to our equation‚ we get; Hence‚ Using this in our g-force equation‚ we get; And so the rider experiences an additional 2g of centripetal force from that experienced at the top. Later‚ as the tuck moves to point

    Terminal Velocity Lab

    Introduction: This lab is an experiment in terminal velocity‚ the speed an object cannot surpass due to frictional forces. To begin‚ it is important to note that the objects in this lab are not in a free-fall scenario. A free-fall scenario is a situation where an object is dropped in a frictionless environment‚ and the only force that is acting upon it is the force of gravity. In a free fall environment‚ terminal velocity would not occur‚ because no frictional forces would act on the object to

    Mass Affecting Final Velocity Name: Anlin Pereira Class: 11C The lab was conducted on 24th September 2014 Teacher: Ms. Timlin Research question: How does the mass (grams) affect the final velocity (m/s) of the toy car on a one meter ramp? Aim: To carry out an investigation to prove that factors such as mass (grams) affects the final velocity (m/s) of an object as it travels a straight line and has a constant acceleration (m/s²). Hypothesis: It is predicted that the mass of the moving object

    is to measure acceleration on a freely falling object assuming the only force acting on the object is gravitational force. Theory All dense objects in free fall have the same acceleration‚ which is known as the acceleration due to gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.80 m/s2. In this experiment‚ a vertical stand with an electromagnet at the top for holding and then releasing of the falling body‚ called the plummet. The plummet falls between two vertical wires

    What are the key differences between Modernism and Post Modernism? The differences between Modernism and Post Modernism are vast; in fact Post Modernism was a direct reaction to the strict rules set by early modernist. In my essay I will discuss both movements and outline the main differences between both. Modernism was a cultural movement established in many areas like art‚ literature and architecture in the 20th century. The expression applies to a revolutionary group of designers who forged

    Both New England and Chesapeake regions were settled by people of English origin‚ however‚ each region evolved into two separate societies. This development difference occurred because of at least three reasons‚ which are religious‚ social and economical. These differences would lead to disputes between North and South that would take place for years. Religiously the two regions were on almost opposite ends of the spectrum. The North‚ according to document D‚ made God the center of their government

    Free-Fall Acceleration Introduction Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)‚ the man first accredited with the correct notion of free-fall with uniform acceleration‚ stated that ’if one were to remove entirely the resistance of the medium‚ all materials would descend with equal speed.’ Today‚ this statement holds true for all objects in free-fall near the Earth’s surface. The purpose of this experiment is to verify Galileo’s assertion that acceleration is constant. In addition‚ the magnitude of acceleration will
