By flinging these items I tried to find out if heavier things would travel farther than lighter

4.1.1 Study: Momentum and Newton’s Second Law Study SheetStudy Sheet Claire Hasenoehrl Physical Science (S2541215) Date: ____________ Use the spaces below to take notes on the key concepts presented in this study. Main idea #1: If something is moving‚ it has momentum. Impulse is change in momentum. The product of mass and velocity mass*velocity vector because it has both magnitude and direction the product of the amount of force on an object and the time during which the force is applied

Newton’s First Law of Motion states explains that a force is needed to change the motion of an object. It states that objects do not move or change their speed unless a force acts upon them. The first law applies to gymnastics in some areas‚ particularly on the bars and the balance beam. For example‚ on the bars when a gymnast performs a giant she is doing complete revolutions around the high bar while keeping her body straight. In order to begin this skill she had to apply some force to get into

E203: MOMENT OF INERTIA GAGABI‚ Dann Gil T. OBJECTIVES This experiment will determine the mass of inertia of a disk and ring. This will also allow us to compare the moment of inertia of solid disk rotated at two different axes: at the center and along its diameter. MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials: 1 set rotating platform 1 pc disk 1 pc ring 1 pc photogate 1 pc smart timer 1 pc smart pulley 1 set weights 1 pc mass hanger 1 vernier caliper Before starting the experiment‚ always make sure that

Moment of Inertia and Rotational Motion Garret Hebert PHY 2311 Tues 1:00 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

rotation of a rigid body. The two investigations performed during the lab included investigation 1; an investigation into the moment of inertia of Maxwell’s wheel and investigation 2; an investigation into the dynamics of Maxwell’s wheel. Data & Analysis Investigation 1 In order to calculate the moment of inertia of Maxwell’s wheel the moments of inertia of the disk and the axle had to be added to each other. In order to perform this task various quantities and qualitative data were calculated

Physics in Sports Introduction Billiards‚ Pool or 8 Ball are the names given to this game. For many of us 8 Ball is a game that we play at friends’ place or at pool houses‚ pubs and a good many other places. But when you are playing 8 Ball you would never really think about physics would you? But it is there‚ and it is in play everytime the cue hits the ball to make it curve‚ everytime you jump the ball over another or bounce it around the cushioned sides to get the white ball
Premium Classical mechanics Force Newton's laws of motion
Newton’s second law of physics dictates that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass of the object‚ the greater the force needed to put the object in an accelerated motion. This relationship can be viewed in the formula: Force = mass (acceleration) The key to keeping the mousetrap car accelerating is to keep the forces acting upon it unbalanced. The force of the mousetrap car has to be larger than the force of friction working against the car. Because the force
