    Laws of Inertia

    • 8 Pages

    Inertia (Law of Inertia) Name _____________________ Section _________ Date ______ The law of acceleration explains how a net force makes a mass accelerate. It shows how the magnitude of the acceleration depends on the magnitude of the force (directly proportional) and on the magnitude of the mass (inversely proportional). Acceleration happens only when there is an unbalanced force. Where All Forces Are Balanced No change of velocity occurs when the forces acting a body are balanced

    Sadie D. Hood Lab 8: Moment of Inertia Partner: Florence Doval Due 16 November 2011 Aims: To use a centripetal force apparatus to calculate the moment of inertia of rotating weights‚ using theories derived from ideas of energy transfer (Im = MR2 (g/2h)(t2-t02)) and point mass appoximation (m1r12 + m2r22). Set Up Procedure First we measured the weights of two masses and wingnuts that secure them. Then we placed one of the masses on the very end of a horizontal rod on the centripetal force apparatus

    person‚ the easier it will be to stop. We all experience this every day. The reason for this‚ is because of the inertia of the moving object. An object will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon on an external force. The magnitude of this force is dependent on the weight of the object. It makes logical sense to think more mass will require more energy. The inertia of an object is it’s resistance to change in motion‚ if an object is stationary‚ it will stay stationary. If an object

    Thermal Inertia

    1. Thermal inertia is a measure of the thermal mass and the velocity of the thermal wave which controls the surface temperature of a material. In heat transfer‚ a higher value of the volumetric heat capacity means a longer time for the system to reach equilibrium. 2. The ocean acts as a massive heat-retaining solar panel. 3. Salinity‚ temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. 4. A pycnocline is the cline or layer where the density gradient (∂ρ⁄∂z) is greatest within a body of water

    Icarus Essay In the poem “Icarus” by Edward Field‚ the author adapts the old myth of Icarus and employs a contemporary setting to the theme. Field utilize foreshadowing to create a probability of what might had happened to Icarus after he fell from the sky. As the poem develops Icarus becomes more as an ordinary person who dreams of the greatness he felt before the fall. As the poem continues on where the myth left off‚ Field foreshadows the probability of Icarus life after the fall. In the quote

    The myth of “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” starts with Icarus’s father‚ Daedalus‚ making them wings to fly out of the labyrinth they were imprisoned in. The wings were fragile and Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too high or the wings would melt. Icarus ignored his father and flew too close to the sun. Consequently His wings melted‚ and he fell into the sea and drowned. This myth is important enough that Pieter Brueghel depicted a scene‚ and William Carlos William wrote a poem about it‚ because

    The” Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” best represents the themes of Ovids’ story “The Story of Daedalus and Icarus” and Brueghel’s painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. Some similarities between the three works is the depiction of Icarus flying‚ the melted wings‚ Icarus drowning and the ignorance of the towns people.”Musee de Beaux Arts” does not include the incident where the wings melted. “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” is more representative of the stories and painting themes because
