Case Analysis 2 - Research in Motion – RIM TM583 9/23/2012 1. What were some of the challenges that RIM faced to protect its intellectual property‚ and how did RIM handle those challenges? RIM is a Waterloo-based company founded in 1984 by two University of Waterloo engineering students‚ Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin. Through the development of integrated hardware‚ software and services that support multiple wireless network standards‚ RIM provides platforms and solutions

of Celestial Motion Through Aristotle’s crystalline spheres‚ the Copernican Revolution‚ and Newton’s understanding of Kepler’s laws of planetary motion; it becomes clear that mathematics was the driving force that guided us through the evolution of celestial motion. One of the first to theorize the motion of both terrestrial and celestial bodies was Aristotle around 330BCE. To this philosopher‚ the universe had always been eternally geocentric. On Earth the concept of motion was‚ not only

THE FORCE OF GRAVITY Topics covered in this lab: Gravitational force Newton’s Laws One of the topics we have discussed is acceleration‚ meaning that the velocity of the object being studied is changing. What causes something to accelerate? In this lab you will investigate the forces that affect the motion of objects. Materials Something to toss Procedure Toss an object straight up into the air and catch it as it falls back down. Carefully watch the object’s vertical position

Abstract: The previous lab explored the effect of gravity on free fall. It was determined that acceleration is always constant under free fall. However‚ in this lab‚ acceleration was observed under different forces‚ other than just gravity. Therefore‚ depending on how strong the forces being exerted were‚ acceleration differed. It wasn’t constant anymore. Using a glider on a air track and a pulley‚ different masses were attached at the end of the string and the glider was allowed to move on the

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

Kristen Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley

projectile motion is motion in two dimensions in both X & Y directions. The only force on the projectile is gravity. With gravity being a presence and a factor in our everyday lives and in this experiment‚ gravity will push down on the projectile forcing it back down to the ground. For example if someone shot a cannon straight and there was no gravity then the cannon would keep traveling at a constant speed‚ go farther and travel in a straight line. Note this is Newtons first law about motion‚ an object

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would

Projectile Motion Purpose: An object in a projectile motion move horizontally with no acceleration and vertically with the gravitational acceleration at the same time. This experiment is to investigate projectile motion using experiments‚ equations and comparing the expected and experimental data. Procedure: Case I: Use formulas to find equation of horizontal Range (R) in a projectile motion. Rearrange equation for Rmax‚ and find the angle Adjust the launches angle to angle Launch

Force‚ Motion‚ Newton’s Laws‚ Momentum‚ and Impulse What is force? Force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object. There are two types of force‚ contact forces‚ and forces resulting from action-at-a-distance. A contact force can be frictional forces‚ normal forces‚ applied forces‚ and air resistant forces. The formula for contact force is F = ma. This type of force occurs when two objects are contacting each other physically. If you kick a ball
