in the air‚ the object is a PROJECTILE (“Projectile”). The study of projectile is important because it must be realized that they are very much part of man’s daily life then and now. Whether man likes it or not‚ he encounters and uses projectile in his everyday life. Our hunting ancestors threw stones and spears on animals to kill them for their food. In today’s sports‚ balls follow projectile motion such as when a basketball player shoots the ball into the hoop‚ a golfer or a

One World: Motion Topic: Write an article that explores how the Physics of Motion is (or can be) used to solve a specific problem in a local or global context. Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

Cart on a Ramp Argument Essay The experiment can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity accurately when the slope of the ramp is extrapolated to 90 degrees. Experimentally‚ the acceleration due to gravity is valid because when the ramp is set to a 90 degree angle‚ it essentially has no slope‚ so objects that are set at a 90 degree angle experience free-fall which is 9.8 m/s2. Using this knowledge‚ during the experiment if the ramp is set at a higher slope‚ it is essentially approaching

Recently I decided to observe how the inflation of a soccer ball influences the accuracy of a soccer ball. In this experiment‚ I used one Nike soccer ball‚ one pair of Adidas soccer cleats‚ a soccer field‚ an air pump and a pressure gauge. I used a soccer ball with the PSI of 8.7‚ a soccer ball with 9.5 PSI‚ and a soccer ball with 7.75 PSI. Changing the PSI of the soccer ball changes the results because the PSI changes the hardness of a ball. I can see how the PSI affects my accuracy by recording the

Damped Harmonic Motion Erica Partner: Steven November 8‚ 2012 Abstract During this experiment‚ the effects that the size of an object had on air resistance were observed and determined. To do this‚ a spring was set up with a circular object hanging at the end. After the spring constant of 9.0312 N/m was measured‚ equations were used to determine a calculated frequency‚ that being 7.252 Hz. Four trials—each with a different sized‚ same massed object—took place where the object was pulled

ACTIVITY: THE CAT’S MEOW / MILK CO-MOTION PURPOSE: To observe the interaction of detergent with the fat of the milk and food color 1. Provide a possible explanation of phenomenon you observed based on the result of your experiment. When food color is added to milk‚ it floats because it is less dense than milk. The non-polar fat in the milk prevents the food color from spreading‚ as it cannot participate in hydrogen bonding with water. When detergent is added to milk and the food color‚ the

Objective: Motion on an Incline with Friction The purpose of this experiment is to prove that the experimental acceleration value calculated is close to the theoretical acceleration values by finding the tension force‚ normal force‚ kinetic friction and the coefficient of kinetic force from the data collected. Theory: The forces acted on an object can be divided up into many different components depending on what the object is doing. In this experiment‚ an object is sliding up an incline plane

as the other objects‚ then it will have a higher velocity compared to a tank shell‚ a golf ball‚ a baseball‚ a bowling ball‚ a football‚ a pumpkin‚ an adult human‚ and a piano. Introduction: In physics‚ velocity is often defined as the speed. Gravity is the amount of force that acts upon an object. In this experiment‚ when one projects an object in the air‚ gravity acts upon the object causing it to come down. However‚ the answer that I am trying to discover is if the weight of the object affects
