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

affects how much centripetal force affects an object. Centripetal force plays a major part in every day life. This force is the reason for the sensation of being ‘pushed’ into the car door that passengers in a car feel when the driver makes a sharp left turn (The Centripetal Force Requirement‚ n.d.). It is the reason people feel almost weightless on rollercoasters‚ and on an even larger scale‚ it is what keeps the moon orbiting around Earth. Without centripetal force‚ cars would not be able to make

influence of significant gravitational forces? _______ Explain your answer. 5. If a moose were chasing you through the woods‚ its enormous mass would be very threatening. But if you zigzagged‚ then its great mass would be to your advantage. Explain why. 6. Inertia can best be described as _____. a. the force which keeps moving objects moving an stationary objects at rest. b. the willingness of an object to eventually lose its motion c. the force which causes all objects to stop d.

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

They will study the effect of the shooting angle on H and R. Material used: 4 rulers‚ track‚ metallic ball‚ landing track‚ A4 white paper‚ red carbon paper‚ timer + supply‚ gun + protractor. Theory: A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of projectiles: an object

Translational motion Translational motion is the aspect in which a body moves from a specific point to the next. This can be in terms of objects‚ molecules or atoms. This kind of motion normally takes place in a straight line for instance bullet which is fired by a gun. The object in motion does not change by turning on its axis for it travels in a straight line. Any slight change or rotation can cause the object to change direction in general making it not move toward the specified direction.

Projectile Motion Experiment # 4 Introduction: Projectile Motion exists commonly in our everyday lives and is particularly evident in the motion or flight of objects which are projected from a particular height. The key to working with projectile motion is recognizing that when an object with mass is flying through the air‚ its motion is a combination of vertical and horizontal movements. Although the horizontal velocity of the object remains constant throughout the flight‚ it’s vertical velocity
