Newton’s First Law of Motion says that unless an outside force acts on an object‚ the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction. Unless the objects inside the car are restrained they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling even if the car is stopped by a crash. Changing or stopping an object’s momentum requires a force acting over a period of time. If momentum changes instantly‚ as in a car crash‚ the force is very‚ very great! In a head-on collision‚ if

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from

Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

The newtons theroy of it should be trueDuring the first half of the 19th century‚ scientists such as John Herschel‚ Fox Talbot‚ and William Swan studied the spectra of different chemical elements in flames. Gradually‚ the idea that each element produces a set of characteristic emission lines was established. Each element has several prominent‚ and many lesser‚ emission lines in a characteristic pattern. Sodium‚ for example‚ has two prominent yellow lines (the so-called D lines) at 589.0 and 589.6

2013 The Life and Works of Sir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton‚ (1642-1727)‚ mathematician and physicist‚ was one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. Sir Isaac Newton was born at on January 4th (December 25th old calendar) at Woolsthorpe‚ a farmstead‚ in Lincolnshire. Woolsthorpe is the place where he worked on his theory of light and optics. This is also believed to be the site where Newton observed an apple fall from a tree‚ inspiring him to make his law of universal gravitation. He entered

Galileo and Newton 2/4/97 Galileo believed the physical world to be bounded. He says that all material things have "this or that shape" and are small or large in relation to other things. He also says that material objects are either in motion or at rest‚ touching or not touching some other body‚ and are either one in number‚ or many. The central properties of the material world are mathematical and strengthened through experimentation. Galileo excludes the properties of tastes‚ odors‚ colors

The outcome from this lab is to be able to differentiate when to use ohmmeter and voltmeter for the individual circuit. II. Theory Ohm’s Law states that the electric current through a material is directly proportional to the voltage across a piece of material (such as wire) while the resistance is held
