Riley Jefferson Block 7/8 October 8th 2012 Electrostatic Gedanken Lab Group Gamma Objective: The objective of this lab is to determine the charge on a pith ball. Hypothesis: I fully believe that the charge of the pith ball will be positive. The formula I will use to prove this is Coulomb’s Law‚ (Fe=(k*q1*q2) / r²). ‘Fe’ is equal to the electrostatic force between the spheres‚ measured in Newton’s. It is also a vector quantity‚ and it’s in absolute value. Secondly‚ ‘k’ is equal to Coulomb’s

soccer ball on the distance the ball travels. The data collected shows that as the distance ran before kicking the ball increased‚ the distance the ball traveled increased. In other words‚ the farther back the person started running towards the ball‚ the farther they were able to kick it. When starting at 0 meters‚ the person had an awkward kick because they weren’t able to get a running start‚ making the ball not go very far. However‚ as soon as they were able to start further away from the ball‚ at

Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where

Matthew Mannetta Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report Introduction Simple harmonic motion is the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke’s Law. In this lab‚ we will observe simple harmonic motion by studying masses on springs. In the first part of this lab‚ you will determine the period‚ T‚ of the spring by observing one sliding mass that is attached to two springs with the spring constant k‚ and attached to a hanging mass by a string

Kalia Townsend Earth Science A2 5/28/14 ECCENTRICITY LAB REPORT Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion: The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion by calculating the eccentricity of ellipses. The 3 main words that were important in this lab exercise was eccentricity‚ ellipse‚ and foci. Eccentricity means the degree of ovalness of an ellipse or how far an ellipse is from being a circle.

AP Physics C - Homework Two Dimensional Motion 1. A particle moves along the parabola with equation Y = ½x2 shown below. a. Suppose the particle moves so that the x-component of its velocity has the constant value vx = C; that is‚ x = Ct i. On the diagram above‚ indicate the directions of the particle’s velocity vector v and acceleration vector a at point R‚ and label each vector. ii. Determine the y-component of the particle’s velocity as a function of x. iii. Determine

Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Report In this lab‚ I will study the principles of simple harmonic motion using an oscillating pendulum. If I were to design an experiment that would help me study the properties of an oscillating pendulum and investigate what causes a pendulum to swing faster or slower‚ I would prepare several masses (e.g. 20g‚ 50g‚ 100g‚ 200g‚ etc.) that can be attached to a string‚ several strings of varying lengths from 0.1m to 1.0m that are strong enough to support the weight of the

The Physics and Components of Medieval Projectile Launchers Before the age of cannons‚ gunpowder‚ and modern warfare‚ projectiles were fired using machines generally identified as catapults. Civilizations in the middle ages were the ones to use the catapult the most‚ utilizing basic laws of physics to hit their target. We will look at different designs in catapults and how they function. Even today‚ launching projectiles is a lesson in physics. Catapults are no exception. From the great minds of
