    incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R. The block then slides onto a horizontal plane where it finally comes to rest 8 meters from the beginning of the plane. The curved incline is frictionless‚ but there is an 8newton force of friction on the block while it slides horizontally. Assume g = 10 meters per second2. a. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block while it slides along the horizontal plane. b. What time elapses while the block is sliding horizontally

    leaning in the opposite direction of the applied/unbalanced force. Another physical example can be seen if someone were to push an ice cube across a surface. When pushed‚ an imbalance occurs because the applied force is stronger than the kinetic friction force that is aiding in keeping its inertia. Therefore the ice slides‚ but it does eventually slow down and stop. A third example occurs when someone may try or succeed in pulling a tablecloth from beneath the table settings. When the person pulls

    A world without friction.

    Without friction the world would be very different! It would be so strange in a bad and good way..... For a start‚ walking would be different because when you put your weight on the foot behind you there would be nothing to stop it sliding. You would fall over and not be able to walk. It would be very hard to get around. You could consider blowing yourself around but it still wouldn’t work. Taking in a breath‚ you would slide forward and then blowing out‚ you would slide backward! Having no friction

    Investigation of the factors affecting the period of vibration of a weighted cantilever Introduction The aim of the experiment is to find out how the period T of vibration of a weighted cantilever depends on the vibrating length L. Hypothesis: Assume the relationship between the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is in accord with the equation: T=kLn‚ where k and n are both constant values. According to the hypothesis‚ the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is a linear relationship

    Abstract This purpose of this experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the

    Essay On Trebuchet

    • 359 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The trebuchet is made of five basic parts. The base‚ counterweight‚ throwing arm‚ sling‚ and pivot. The base gives the trebuchet a secure base to help with over rotation and other engineering problems that may occur. The counterweight falls and the force of gravity thrusts the projectile forwards. The throwing arm is used to connect the counterweight and sling‚ and is part of the thrust downwards.The sling holds the projectile and the pivot is there to prevent over-rotation. Trebuchets can be made
