Freefall and Projectile Motion Introduction and Objectives This lab experiment was done to determine the characteristics of free fall and projectile motion in Physics. The motion in which a body is thrown or projected is called Projectile motion while free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it‚ at least initially. In this experiment‚ a photogate‚ a chopper‚ and a Universal Lab Interface were used to determine the free fall motion of the chopper as it was

moves faster over the top of a wing. It moves slower underneath the wing. The slow air pushes up from below while the faster air pushes down from the top. This forces the wing to lift up into the air. Laws of Motion Sir Isaac Newton proposed three laws of motion in 1665. These Laws of Motion help to explain how a planes flies. 1. If an object is not moving‚ it will not start moving by itself. If an object is moving‚ it will not stop or change direction unless something pushes it. 2. Objects

Motion in a Viscous Medium Aim The aim of this experiment is to measure the terminal velocity of spherical beads falling under gravity in a liquid determine‚ and hence determine its viscosity using Stoke’s law. Introduction When a stationary solid object is complete or partially immersed in a fluid‚ it experiences an upthrust or buoyant force. According to Archimedes’ principle‚ this buoyant force B is given by where ρ is the density of the fluid‚ Vs is the immersed volume of the

Projectile Motion You have probably watched a ball roll off a table and strike the floor. What determines where it will land? Could you predict where it will land? In this experiment‚ you will roll a ball down a ramp and determine the ball’s velocity with a pair of Photogates. You will use this information and your knowledge of physics to predict where the ball will land when it hits the floor.

Circular Motion – a constant motion along a circle; the unfirom motion of a body along a circle Frequency (f) – the number of cycles or revolutions completed by the same object in a given time; may be expressed as per second‚ per minute‚ per hour‚ per year‚ etc.; standard unit is revolutions per second (rev/s) Period (T) – the time it takes for an object to make one complete revolution; may be expressed in seconds‚ minutes‚ hours‚ years‚ etc.; standard unit is seconds per revolution (s/rev)

Today I will be analyzing and telling you why Sir Isaac Newton is important in addition discussing why he is still recognized after so many years. Born January 4‚ 1643 in Woolsthorpe‚ England. The things that are Isaac Newton he persevered through his childhood from his mother leaving his for her second husband and later coming back when the husband died and forced Newton to drop out. With the help of newton’s uncle persuaded his mother to let Isaac finish high school and go to college. Finishing

Some of these discoveries are small‚ and some are major things that affect how people live today. Sir Isaac Newton was a scientists who influenced scientists today. Because of his influence on society‚ his discoveries and intelligence‚ Sir Isaac Newton serves a great importance. Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25th in 1642 in Woolsthorpe‚ Lincolnshire. Sir Isaac newton was a premature baby;

ROTATIONAL MOTION CENTRE OF MASS AND ROTATIONAL MOTION INTRODUCTION- For describing the motion of rigid bodies‚ we shall introduce the key concept of ‘centre of mass’. This concept enables us to understand how we can apply justifiably the Newton’s laws of motion‚ in essentially the same form to objects of large size including even the astronomical objects like the planets and the stars. KINDS OF MOTION OF A RIGID BODY- A rigid body may have three kinds of motion- (1) Pure Translation Motion- in such
