The Introduction Abstract Through examining the simple harmonic motion of a mass hanging on a spring‚ three investigations were conducted in the experiment. The experiments include the relation between the period in oscillations and mass‚ and figuring out if the period vs. mass graph should go through the origin and lastly‚ finding the mass needed to create a one second timer. It was investigated by placing a motion detector under a spring that was attached to a clamp which was attached to a retort

One of the most compelling arguments made against the use of computers by children is the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This problem may be greater for children than for adults because their musculature and skeletal systems are not fully formed and may be at greater risk for injury. Children’s risk of suffering repetitive motion injuries may be further increased because they tend to use computers that are sized for adults‚ placed on adult-sized furniture‚ and positioned

undergo a vertical motion‚ but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is‚ as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally. There are the two components of the projectile’s motion - horizontal and vertical motion. And since perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other‚ these two components of motion can be discussed separately. The goal of this part of the lesson is to discuss the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion; specific attention

The motion of an airplane or helicopter through the air can be explained and distinguished by physical principals discovered over three centuries ago by Sir Isaac Newton‚ who worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. Throughout recent science history‚ three of the most important theories proven were all evaluated by Isaac Newton. He developed the theories of gravitation in 1666‚ when he was only 23 years old. Some twenty years later‚ in 1686‚ he presented his three laws of motion in the

Lab 1‚ problem 3: Motion Down an Incline Shaoren Yuan October 5‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ professor: Dr. Zudov‚ TA: David Abstract The processes of a cart rolling up and returning back along a track were recorded‚ and the processes (motion of the cart.) were described as equations. Also‚ we calculated the accelerations of every stage (aup‚ adown and ahighest). Then the relationship among aup‚ adown and ahighest was concluded. Finally‚ the acceleration was measured and was proved from data. Introduction

Term 3 Uniform Circular Motion When a body moves in a circular path with a constant speed‚ it is said to undergo uniform circular motion. Although the speed is constant‚ velocity is continually changing‚ since it is constantly changing its direction of motion. Centripetal V V ac ac Acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle and is therefore called “centripetal acceleration.” ac =v^2r ac =v^2r If T is the time taken for one revolution then: V = 2πrT ac =v^2r

Perpetual Motion (of machines) is defined as “The motion of a machine that‚ once activated‚ would run forever unless subject to an external force”; is it possible? Let’s start off where it all began. Ever since the 8th century man has been attempting to build Perpetual Motion Machines‚ many were designs of a system of weights on a wooden wheel.[1] These work in a simple cycle starting with the weights on the left side‚ these weights hang close to the wheel resulting in a lower torque; but when the

Moses Ochieng Newton’s Second Law of Motion Objective As you are probably aware from everyday experience‚ heavier objects require a greater force to move around than lighter ones. Isaac Newton quantified observations like this one into what is probably the most useful expression in all physics: F = M a‚ otherwise known as Newton’s Law of Motion. Here‚ F is the net external force acting on mass M‚ and a is the resulting acceleration. The primary objective for this lab is to test the conjecture

Motion sickness Overview: The motion sickness is a deeper malaise - whose symptoms are nausea‚ vomiting‚ fatigue - due to non-uniform motion caused from traveling in a car‚ a ship‚ a train or a plane. Causes: You get motion sickness when one piece of your offset detecting framework (your internal ear camera.gif‚ eyes‚ and tactile nerves) detects that your body is moving‚ yet alternate parts don’t. Case in point‚ in the event that you are in the lodge of a moving ship‚ your internal ear may sense
