Student Project The Physics of Sports Instructions: One of the best (and most fun) ways to explore physics and how it relates to the real-world is through sports. Every sport utilizes multiple physics principles. For this project you will chose a sport and study the physics principles involved. The sport you choose must be an actual sport‚ not a computer simulation or animation You will create a short PowerPoint presentation (5 slides max) summarizing your project. The following outline is designed

Word Processed Practical Report Pendulum Aim: To investigate the relationship between the length of pendulum and the time it takes. Theory: Hence the gravitational acceleration “g” can be calculated by this equation: T=2πLg T=2πLg (T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meter and g the gravitational acceleration in m/s2) Method: As stated earlier in the introduction‚ it was decided to measure the time for 10 complete swings‚ in order to reduce

Physics End of Year Reflection Paper At the beginning of this course you were given some overarching enduring understandings and essential questions. These were: Overarching Enduring Understandings: Students will uncover and use appropriate scientific models to describe and quantify the nature and interactions of matter and energy. Students should understand that there is a network of rules and relationships that determine what will happen in a given situation Students

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.

science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the relation between

Edgar Xiong David Blackburn Period 3 Physics of Flight One may wonder‚ what is flight? Many just stare up into the blue skies above and assume. while others devote their lives to discovering and finding a passion in aviation. Flight can be simply characterized as the [powered] gliding of an object through the air‚ but the wonders of soaring through the air does not simply stop there‚ instead‚ flight is a whole myriad of forces acting on each other‚ as so found out by scientists decades

AP Physics HW #1 Multiple Choice 1. A car travels 30 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour and then 30 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. The average speed the car over the 60 miles is (A) 35 m.p.h. (B) 40 m.p.h. (C) 45 m.p.h. (D) 10 m.p.h. (E) 53 m.p.h. Answer: B. Method: Vavg = Δx/Δt The average speed is the total distance traveled‚ divided by the total time. They give us all distances traveled is‚ so we just need to find the time. We find the time‚ by applying
