Contents Defying Gravity M.C. Herden Abstract: This report will investigate two theories about gravity‚ these including Aristotle’s theory‚ of which states‚ the heavier the object‚ the faster it falls‚ alongside Galileo’s trialed theory; Two object of different masses‚ when dropped from the same height will reach the ground at the same time. Correspondingly‚ this investigation shall trail and prove correct Galileo’s theory of gravity. Introduction and Background: Gravity is the attraction

How is Acceleration Affected by Mass and Gravity? Introduction How does force and mass affect acceleration? Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on the object and the mass of the object. If more mass is applied to the car‚ then the acceleration will be slower. If there is less mass on the car‚ then the acceleration will be faster. If more force is applied to the car‚ then it will accelerate faster. If less force is used the car‚ then the

Using a Pendulum to Determine g Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity using the motion of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The numerical g value measured on earth is estimated to be 9.8 ms-2 Apparatus: * Retort Stand * Boss head and clamp * Approximately 1 metre of string * 50g mass carrier or pendulum bob * Stopwatch * Metre ruler Theory: When a simple pendulum swings with a small angle‚ the mass on the end performs a good approximation of the back-and-forth

Pendulum From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released‚ the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass

Pendulum 1. Research to find equations that would help you find g using a pendulum. Design an experiment and test your design using Moon and Jupiter. Write your procedure in a paragraph that another student could use to verify your results. Show your data‚ graphs‚ and calculations that support your strategy. The time it takes a pendulum to complete one back-and-forth swing‚ called the pendulum’s period‚ depends only on the pendulum’s length and the value of gravity. In an experiment

Physics PENDULUM INVESTIGATION Aim of the investigation The aim of the pendulum investigation is to see what will happen if I change a variable whilst I swing a pendulum and see the effect which it has on the pendulums time to complete one whole swing (from where it starts‚ to the opposite end‚ and back again). This will give me an insight into what will effect the time of the swinging of the pendulum‚ be it weight‚ string length‚ the angle‚ or the swinging point. Planning my investigation

| The Ballistic Pendulum | Determining the initial speed of a projectile | | | | | THE BALLISTIC PENDULUM ABSTRACT The experiment was carried out to determine the initial speed of a projectile: i) by means of a ballistic pendulum. ii) by measurements of the range and vertical distance of fall during its flight. The initial speed for the ballistic pendulum was found to be 5.0551±0.0008m/s and the initial speed for the pendulum was found to be 4.72±0.02 m/s. INTRODUCTION:

is to study the period of the pendulum with different masses. Secondly to also study the relationship in the different lengths of the string and how it affects the period. Thirdly to find the different (time) periods in the changes in the arc size. Theory If the pendulum is set ‚ the force of the motion is used to swing back and forth . where the t period is the time the pendulum takes to complete a cycle of oscillation. As t-1/f the complete distance of the pendulum and its mass is finished ‚ the
