Using a “picket fence” dropped through a photo gate with disregard for air resistance; students calculated the results from the charted data and compared it with the accepted value of 9.8 m/s2 discussing any variations and their potential causes. Goal The goal of this experiment is to measure g‚ the acceleration of gravity‚ using various software and a picket

century‚ Galileo experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to measure the acceleration due to gravity‚ or the acceleration of freely falling objects. Unfortunately‚ his timing devices were not precise enough to measure the free fall time directly. He decided to “dilute” gravity by using fluids‚ inclined planes‚ and pendulums. Galileo’s idea of diluting gravity using inclined planes worked like this: the acceleration of a rolling cart on an inclined plane is small‚ therefore

Hugo van der Goes’s Portinari Masterpiece Hugo van der Goes is considered one of the great northern Italian Renaissance artists. His unique style and artistic inventions inspired numerous contemporary artists in Florence. The Portinari Altarpiece‚ Sant’ Egidio‚ Florence‚ Italy‚ ca. 1476‚ is remarked as great altarpiece within art history that clearly depicts the influence of patronage within society. Tommaso Portinari‚ the donor of the Portinari Altarpiece‚ an Italian agent who worked as an assistant

with the cart’s acceleration. The total mass of the cart is easy to vary by adding masses. Using these tools‚ you can determine how the net force on the cart‚ its mass‚ and its acceleration are related. This relationship is Newton’s second law of motion.

which ones? What do they have in common? Yes‚ the ball and the jump both move in similar ways. Due to the acceleration to be constant for both. The pendulum and the spring move also in the same way‚ the difference is that the pendulum encountered

The average acceleration‚ a = ᐃv/ ᐃt‚ is in the same direction as ᐃv‚ that is‚ toward the center of the circle. As the object moves around the circle‚ the direction of the acceleration vector changes‚ but its length remains the same.One should take note of the fact that the acceleration vector of an object in uniform circular motion always points in toward the center of the circle. Due to this fact‚ the acceleration of such an object is called center- seeking or centripetal acceleration. Remember

Acceleration of a Ball Bearing on an Inclined Plane Group 3 Block 3 Annie Nguyen‚ Cal Malone‚ Amanda Robotham Purpose of Lab: The purpose of this lab is to understand the motion of a ball bearing on an inclined plane through the graphical relationship between displacement and time. The independent variable in this lab was the displacement change of the ball bearing in meters and the dependent variable was the time in seconds. The control variables in the experiment was the ramp angle

purpose of this lab was to learn about how force influences acceleration. A hanging mass is tied to a frictionless glider and the mass is dropped. While the glider is being pulled by the mass it is possible to measure to tension force on the rope between the two objects. A motion sensor graphs the movement of the system and from the slope it is possible to calculate the acceleration of both items. By recording the masses and acceleration of both the glider and hanging mass‚ it is possible to measure

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)
