    up with three laws of motion laws that describe how forces and objects relate to each other. the statement means that in every interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. Just to make

    Definition of Force   A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects‚ there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases‚ the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces onlyexist as a result of an interaction.   Velocity‚ Acceleration‚ Momentum‚ and Impulse   Velocity‚ in physics‚ is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction)‚ and is the time rate of

    discoveries‚ the three laws of motion are famous. These include inertia‚ acceleration‚ and the idea that for every action‚ there is an equal and opposite reaction. Inertia is the idea that a body in motion will remain in motion‚ and a body at rest will remain at rest. For example‚ if I were to throw a baseball into the air‚ it would keep going until grasvity pulled it back down to earth. However‚ if I left it sitting on a table‚ it would lie there until some kind of force were to move it. If I were to

    Three Laws of Motion Sir Isaac Newton first introduced his three laws in 1686. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion not only improved math and science all over the world‚ but they played a major role in the development of human beings giving us a better understanding of the world in which we live and the laws that each and every one of us follow. Newton’s first law is law of inertia‚ which is a restatement of Galileo’s idea‚ an object in rest stays in rest or an object in motion stays in motion unless acted

    Universal Gravitation Apples had a significant contribution to the discovery of gravitation. The English physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727) introduced the term "gravity" after he saw an apple falling onto the ground in his garden. "Gravity" is the force of attraction exerted by the earth on an object. The moon orbits around the earth because of gravity too. Newton later proposed that gravity was just a particular case of gravitation. Every mass in the universe attracts every other mass. This is the

    Uniform Circular Motion – a constant motion along a circle; the unfirom motion of a body along a circle Frequency (f) – the number of cycles or revolutions completed by the same object in a given time; may be expressed as per second‚ per minute‚ per hour‚ per year‚ etc.; standard unit is revolutions per second (rev/s) Period (T) – the time it takes for an object to make one complete revolution; may be expressed in seconds‚ minutes‚ hours‚ years‚ etc.; standard unit is seconds per revolution

    DYNAMICS -studies the relationship of motion to the forces that causes it. Types of Forces: (a) Normal Force‚ n :When an object rests or pushes on a surface‚ the surface exerts a push on it that is directed perpendicular to the surface. (b) Friction Force‚ f : In addition to the normal force‚ a surface may exert a frictional force on a object‚ directed parallel to the surface and opposite the motion or impending motion of the object. f s = µ s n - static friction‚ maximum friction before the object

    Experiment 3.1 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Aim: To investigate the relationship between net force‚ mass and acceleration Hypothesis: Since Newton’s second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the total force acting upon that object‚ we can assume that the more mass being pulled down on the cart the greater the acceleration of it will be and therefore the greater its net force will be. Apparatus: Wheeled carts Pulleys Balance

    equilibrium of forces was investigated through the use of different weights attached to cords which were connected to a central ring‚ while pulleys supported them. This assembly facilitated the force band system to demonstrate that equilibrium will be attaining regardless of disturbances. However‚ due to errors in the experiment‚ the sum of the x and y component did equate to zero as predicted. The graphical solution of the experiment yield a polygon that is completed indicating that all the forces are in

    E104: NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION METHODOLOGY In Part A of the experiment (Constant Mass‚ Changing Net Force)‚ place the dynamics track on the laboratory table. Make sure that it is horizontal by placing the dynamics cart on the track. If the dynamics cart does not move‚ then the track is already horizontal. Otherwise‚ make the necessary adjustments. Get the mass of the dynamics cart. Write this under m1 in Table 1. Set the first photogate at the 20-cm mark of the dynamics track and the second
