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

[pic] The product of average force and the time it is exerted is called the impulse of force. From Newton’s second law [pic] the impulse of force can be extracted and found to be equal to the change in momentum of an object provided the mass is constant: |[pic] |Calculation | The main utility of the concept is in the study of the average impact force during collisions. For collisions‚ the mass and change in velocity are often

Centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "to seek"[1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body‚ toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Centripetal force is generally the cause of circular motion. In simple terms‚ centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre

The officer believes that one of them might be responsible for a string of recent burglaries. The teens are questioned‚ and the officer becomes angry at their responses. Over the objections of the teenagers‚ both teens are pulled out of the car and shoved around a little. They are both told that they are under arrest

How competitive forces shape strategy Pflicht 4. (5Forces) " 1 von 3 While one some- times hears executives complaining to the contrary‚ intense competition in an industry is neither coincidence nor bad luck. Moreover‚ in the fight for market share‚ competition is not manifested only in the other players. Rather‚ competition in an industry is rooted in its underlying economics‚ and competitive forces exist that go well beyond the established combatants in a particular industry. Customers

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

= 300g 9.8 3. Explain the effect of mass on Hooke’s Law. Hooke’s Law states that the restoring force of a spring is directly proportional to a small displacement. Applying a mass to the end of the spring stretches it‚ changing the length from its original equilibrium position of rest‚ to a new (lower) equilibrium position. At this position‚ the vertical restoring force of the spring balances the weight and the downward pull of gravity is balanced by the upward pull of the spring

In our case‚ the rider’s back is the lowest body part in the bicycle‚ with his legs angled upward to the pedals. The rider sits in a seat with a back‚ which serves as a fixed datum relative to the frame so that he/she can exert as much force as possible at through crank and driveline. By making the front wheel the drive wheel‚ the bicycle no longer needs a chain to run under the rider. This allows the rider to sit at least 4 inches lower‚ which decreases the frontal area from their previous rear
