PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled‚ the speed and whether the motion of the student is accelerating or decelerating. THEORY: The

What is Physics? Physics is a field of science that shows the interaction between matter and energy. It shows physical processes that help us understand better how our universe behaves. Physics also use scientific method that formulates and tests hypothesis which are based on observations and comprehensions. What are the different fields under Physics? PHYSICS PHYSICS dealing with physical processes and their relations in the science of physical chemistry. dealing

Yr. 12 Physics Assessment Task #1: Part A Open ended investigation By Rex Whiticker Projectile Motion Abstract: The Project motion of a catapult being fired is varied by a range of factors that affect the path of the projectile. In this experiment‚ the angle of trajectory‚ mass of the projectile and change in initial velocity of the launch‚ were all factors considered in the end result to investigate the properties of projectile motion. The purpose of the experiment was to conduct a first-hand

“The Pit and the Pendulum” Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” was one of his most famous works of artistic literature. With his unusually morbid writing technique‚ Poe created a story in which real fears came alive. “The Pit and the Pendulum” consists of two main themes as well as symbolism. The first theme is the terror a human goes through when being confined and sentenced to mental and physical torture‚ which may end in death. Poe shows us the fear from the narrator within the

The Pit and the Pendulum There are some stories‚ where the objects that are described or portrayed play a more important part of the story than what we believed. In The Pit and the Pendulum‚ a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe there is certain symbolism that adds meaning to the story. The narrator is telling the story from a dungeon in Toledo‚ Spain as a prisoner during the Spanish Inquisition. In the story‚ there are certain objects that have important symbolism for the drama‚ since they lead

Method/Pendulum Exercise Worksheet 1. What is the difference between an observation and an inference? Observations are based on collecting knowledge through our senses. An inference is making an educated guess based on observation. 2. In doing science‚ why are hypotheses either supported or not supported‚ but never proved beyond all doubt? There are many other factors that could be unknown and new data could be found in the future to support or not support a hypothesis. 3. For this pendulum exercise

Projectile Motion Purpose: Apply the concepts of two-dimensional kinematics (projectile motion) to predict the impact point of an object as its velocity increases. Introduction: The most common example of an object that is moving in two dimensions is a projectile. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. That is to say a projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own‚ and is influenced only by the downward force
