between the hammer and nail A hammer exerts a force on the nail and drives it into a board . But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on the hammer to stop it in the process. What exerts this force? The nail does. Newton reasoned that while the hammer exerts a force on the nail ‚ the nail exerts a force on the hammer. So‚ the interaction between the nail and the hammer‚ there is a pair of forces ‚ one acting on the nail and the other acting on the hammer. Between

Galileo: Uniformity of Nature and Experimental Physics The Renaissance became one of the factors for the Scientific Revolution‚ bringing on the renewal of ancient times which led to the discovery of "ancient scientific texts (1)." This time period of the Renaissance also known as "the century of genius (1)" brought on a new view of nature bringing about ideas of great minds such as that of Galileo. He could be described as a Renaissance man‚ gifted in many areas as a talented musician‚ an artist

How does the mass of a ball affect the distance it will travel ? Exploring Newtons 2nd Law of motion. Background Research How does changing the mass of an object effect how far it will travel ? This question can be answered by Newtons 2nd law of motion; Force equals mass multiplied acceleration (F= ma). This law states that a force on an object will cause it to accelerate in the direction of the force. The greater the force exerted on the object‚ the greater the acceleration. But how does

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

We need to question everything. Questioning ideas and things we know as fact is how we learn and progress. Galileo Galilei‚ Johannes Kepler‚ and Isaac Newton understood this. Science had some answers for things‚ however since they questioned those things they were able to get to truth. Galileo was born in 1564. He was a professor of mathematics. It is a common misconception that Galileo invented the telescope. However‚ that is not true. Galileo was the first person to look at the sky through a telescope

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

Newton’s Second Law Lab Preliminary Questions 1. When you push on an object‚ the magnitude of the force on the object directly affects it’s motion. If you push harder on the object‚ it’s motion is larger. 2. If we have a bowling ball‚ and a baseball each suspended from a different rope‚ and hit each ball with a full swing of a baseball bat‚ the ball that will have the greatest amount of change in it’s motion will be the baseball. This is true because the baseball has a smaller mass than a bowling

Newton`s Second Law – Lab Report Name: Tasneen Ahsan Date: 19th November‚ 2012 Purpose To show how the acceleration of an object changes when‚ the mass changes and the net force is kept constant and when the mass is the same.. Hypothesis I predict that by changing the mass of the object will result in a change in the acceleration as Newton`s second law states that the magnitude of the acceleration of any object is directly proportional to the magnitude
