Linear Kinematics. Fielding a backhand requires acceleration and deceleration. The fielder must accelerate towards the ball and decelerate when approaching the ball to field it. Acceleration occurs in the first three phases of the backhand and deceleration occurs in the critical phase‚ drive phase‚ when the fielder picks up the ball with their glove. Acceleration helps the athlete gain distance between the fielding positon and the ball. This allows the fielder to get their glove in front of the

REPORT2013JAN-PHISICS Group: LUCA Does mass/weight affect acceleration? Hypothesis: The heavier the car the slower ( the more the mass the slower)‚ the more weight(force) we added the faster. Experiment: Materials: Trolley Elastic cords for accelerating trolley Rod for attaching elastic cord to trolley Ticker-timer with power supply unit Ticker-tape Sellotape Process: 1.Thread a length of ticker-tape through a ticker-timer and attach the end to a trolley. 2.Pull a trolley with a fixed

physics honors Acceleration due to gravity by picket fence method Varun Kumar Pd 7 Saumya Kapoor & Tonia Li 9/26/2014 INTRODUCTION Acceleration is the increase or decrease in velocity. It can also be described as the rate of change in velocity. Acceleration is represented by the formula: . In this experiment we look at a specific type of acceleration‚ Free-Fall. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important

This assignment entailed the task of investigation into the a) Conditions under which corrosion is accelerated‚ and b) Methods of preventing corrosion. Two experiments were implemented to answer these questions and hence reach a definate conclusion.First off let’s look at the background of corrosion and the way in which it occurs.The first hypothesis to answer was‚ ’What affect does water temperature have on the rate of corrosion of iron in sea water?’ The assumed answer was that ’ As temperature

garret.hebert@hindscc.edu Abstract: During this lab we will study what rotational Inertia is and how different shapes of masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences in the acceleration to determine how the ring and the disk resist rotational

Uniform Acceleration Cedric C. Labasan Physics Department‚ De La Salle University St. Joseph Hall Room 404‚ 2401‚ Taft Avenue‚ Manila‚ Philippines cedric_labasan@dlsu.ph Abstract This lab report defines what uniform acceleration is and how to calculate uniform acceleration of a cart rolling down a ramp at different angles and elevations. The experiment will be performed by setting the cart on the track against the end stop and then record this final position on the steel ramp ten times

Open-ended Investigation (mass and force) Aim: To show the relationship between Mass‚ the force acting on it‚ and acceleration by gathering data through investigations. Hypothesis: As Mass increases‚ Acceleration Decreases. Therefore‚ Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Introduction A force is a push or pull acting upon an object‚ as a result of its interaction with another object. In a state of motion‚ an object experiences different forces which influences its movement. There are many

Using a simple pendulum to find the acceleration due to gravity/g Task 1 Aim: To find the acceleration due to gravity/g Objective: To find the relationship between the length of simple pendulum and the period oscillation Hypothesis: The longer the length of the simple pendulum‚ the longer the period of oscillation will take. Variables: a) Independent- the length of the pendulum; b) Dependent- the time it takes for 20 oscillations; c) Control - the mass of pendulum. Task 2 References

Conclusion to Motion Lab Kerreon Wright 3rd Period Ms. Gislason The purpose of this Motion Lab was to find the acceleration of a steel marble going down a straight track six different times to figure out how an object’s mass affects acceleration. It doesn’t due to Newton’s second law of motion. There were six different accelerations for each trial and they are: 7.88 m/s squared‚ 6.78 m/s squared‚ 6.07 m/s squared‚ 5.57 m/s squared‚ 4.32 m/s squared‚ and 5.11 m/s squared. It’s possible
