Perpetual Motion I will be researching perpetual motion and why it is said to be impossible. The reason I chose this topic is because I remember learning the laws of thermodynamics in my eighth grade science class. After explaining these laws‚ the teacher added‚ “…and that is why perpetual motion machines are impossible.” Since we have been studying related topics such as motion‚ gravity‚ and friction‚ I figure it would be a great time to learn specifically why it is considered impossible

Circular Motion Uniform circular motion is the movement of an object or particle trajectory at a constant speed around a circle with a fixed radius. The fixed radius‚ r‚ is the position of an object in uniform or circular motion relative to to the center of the circle. The length of the position vector of the circle does not change but its direction does as the object follows its circular path. In order to find the object’s velocity‚ one needs to find its displacement vector over the specific

between the two lines is that one line is at a faster speed than the other in the same amount of time. While one is steeper the other one is not as steep. 2. How would the graph change if you walked toward the Motion Detector rather than away from it? Test your answer using the Motion Detector. Since the graph is going in a positive direction‚ the guess would be‚ that the graph would start from the top instead of the bottom‚ and would go downward causing the direction to become negative.

circle) were used to describe anomalies such as the retrograde motion of planets. Equants (a point which the centre of a planet’s epicycle moved at a uniform velocity) were used to approximate where planets would be at a certain time. Even though the Ptolemaic model had various defects‚ as astronomers assumed that all the planets revolved at a uniform rate‚ planets revolved in perfect circles‚ and didn’t explain the retrograde motion of planets that it was formulated to do; it was still widely accepted

Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion

FORCE AND MOTION Scalars vs. Vectors Scalars | Vectors | A scalar quantity has only magnitude. | A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. | Scalars can be added‚ subtracted‚ multiplied and divided just as ordinary numbers‚ i.e.‚ scalars are subjected to simple arithmetic operations. | Vectors cannot be added‚ subtracted and multiplied following simple arithmetic laws. Arithmetic division of vectors is not possible at all. | Example: mass‚ volume‚ time‚ distance‚ speed‚ work‚ temperature
