Purpose The reason for this experiment is to prove that objects of different masses‚ when dropped from the same height‚ fall at the same velocity. Apparatus - 2 Marbles of different mass‚ one steel and one nylon - Dropping Mechanism with a lever to hold the marble and pull for drop - Bee Spi (measures velocity in kilometers per hour.) - Box to catch the marble on the way down Procedure The dropping mechanism was set up‚ with the BeeSpi attached to it at 26.5” from the lever that drops

terrible concept to begin with‚ but it was sort of tolerable to some at the moment‚ but very useful to the masters. Although many enslaved africans acted a certain way‚ there were a few who did otherwise. The typical response of enslaved africans were resistance‚ and adaptation and I have many examples to justify my agreement. Slaves resisted in many ways‚ such as purchasing freedom. There were many people who bought their own freedom‚ after years of saving up money. After receiving freedom‚ they began

Determine the weight and volume of the cylinder (for lab experiment written on side). 2. For the mixed aggregates ensure they are well mixed. Now fill the cylinder with the aggregate to 1/3 the height of the cylinder using the scoop. 3. Compact the aggregate with the tamping rod giving 25 strokes without

Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

Slave resistance by kiara gundy Thousands of enslaved individuals formed a mutiny that would later on revolutionize rights of africans‚ and set the stepping stones needed for a better future for the many generations next to come out of those in the slavery era.

Well this is one of those kind‚ except instead of a story about one person who went through such great lengths to stand up against

Neglecting air resistance‚ if you throw a baseball at 20 m/s to your friend who is on first base‚ will the catching speed be greater than‚ equal to‚ or less than 20 m/s? (3.5); b. does the speed change if air resistance is a factor? A. Equal to 20m/s. B. Yes‚ it decreases. 15. What do we call a projectile that continually “falls” around Earth? An Earth Satellite. 16.

Their organization has defined oppression as confining minorities to the lower limit and outer edge in political‚ social‚ and economic aspects of life (Martin).

investigate how parachutes work and whether size matters to performance. Background According to Agee (2010)‚ “As a skydiver is falling‚ the force of gravity is pulling them towards the earth… The parachute slows the skydiver down because it causes air resistance or drag. The air pushes the parachute back up‚ and creates a force opposite to the force of gravity‚ slowing the skydiver down.” Question We wanted to find out how the size of a parachute would affect its descent as we felt slowing descent was

It was the final major clash between the Native Americans and the U.S. military‚ and it finally proved that white men are the “true savages” of humankind.
