    Abstract In this experiment Newton’s Second Law of Motion was measured with the use of the gravitational acceleration g on Earth by applying a free fall process. Objective The objective of this experiment is to validate Newton’s Second Law of motion. In experimenting the Law the measurement of acceleration of gravity was used by measuring the distance a dropped ball travels for a specific amount of time. Procedure First‚ measurements were taken of the distance from the stairway

    In the movie retelling the story of Apollo 13‚ there were many instances where gravity and its properties were relevant. The five main topics I have chosen I feel are the easiest to explain and understand. The first is the requirements of liftoff and how the astronauts will experience g forces. Next is coming into earth and how they will have to calculate the angle and speed at which they will have to re-enter at. Third I talk about the simulator and how it prepares them for conditions in outer space

    Potential Energy • Definition and Mathematics of Work • Calculating the Amount of Work Done by Forces • Potential Energy • Kinetic Energy • Mechanical Energy • Power An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example‚ the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly‚ a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming

    Existence Of Matter In The Universe What is the Universe made of and what evidence s there for this ? The universe consists of billions of galaxies that each contain billions of stars. Around some stars Planets and moons trace elliptical orbits. Within these orbits there are spherical bodies. These range in size from large asteroids to tiny particles smaller than a grain of dust‚ all of this is classified as baryonic matter by Astronomers. The fundamental core of the universe is known as

    Space Exploration and Colonization: Using Technology and Human Enhancements in our Race for Space Since the beginning of man ’s existence on this earth‚ the night time sky has held awe and wonder. The questions of what may exist have long been pondered and are chronicled throughout the written history of our species. Technology and science allowed early scientists to prove the sun as the center of the solar system as well as many planets besides earth orbiting that very sun. It later allowed

    In a world without gravity‚ one would be weightless‚ but always nauseous. Because of this‚ it would be very difficult to complete a lot of your daily activities without throwing up. If you tried to eat something while you and your food are floating around‚ you will probably have a lot of trouble trying to hold your food down. In 0-g‚ life would be very hard. Roller coasters are a perfect example of this. I do not do well on roller coasters. I get sick when I encounter zero gravity for that split
