the project of creating a device to secure eggs in a collision with a pendulum at increasing velocities‚ I immediately thought of a car crash. Cars must be built that so that they will protect the passengers during any type of collision‚ like my project must be built to protect the eggs. Upon this thinking I decided to design my egg crash project like the design of a car. I would create an inelastic collision between the pendulum and project‚ meaning

Report: Lessons from the Titanic Adapted from Causes and Effects of the Rapid Sinking of the Titanic by Vicki Bassett (http://www.writing.eng.vt.edu/uer/bassett.html) Date: 12 January 2012 Word count: 2802 Abstract This article discusses the material failures and design flaws that contributed to the rapid sinking of the Titanic‚ which collided with a massive iceberg in 1912 while on her maiden voyage from England to the United States. There were 2200 passengers

Company. This style of management comes from proving yourself and gaining their respect. It takes longer to achieve but has lasting results.

system we have is a system of winners and losers; the losing side of a political agenda often loses their ability to achieve what they believe to be a public good. This type of governmental system has a give and take mentality‚ the political pendulum swings from left to right (republican to democrat)‚ and public interests change alongside it. If our country ever decided to truly pursue the common good‚ we may find ourselves in a communist style country. Everyone would need to be provided for equally

1. Describe a cause or concern that spurred you to be civically engaged. How did you contribute? What did you learn or gain from the experience? In school‚ I saw my peers were having trouble academically without individual attention. They would seek help from teachers‚ but would still not understand the material. This lack of learning turned into a hatred for the subjects‚ which translated into a hatred for school. My friends studied for hours only to fail their tests and fall behind. I was shocked

physicist (1). A substantial part of Galileo’s work was related to mechanics‚ and he was the first to apply mathematics to its analysis; earning the status as the founder of modern mechanics and experimental physics (2). He also introduced the use of pendulums instead of clocks and proposed the law of uniform acceleration between falling objects. Finally‚ he developed the telescope with which he discovered the craters of the moon‚ sunspots‚ phases of Venus‚ and the satellites of Jupiter.

Objective: To study the conservation of energy and momentum using projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation of momentum. Because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction‚ the horizontal component (v_x) of the projectile’s velocity remains unchanged from its initial value throughout the motion. In a closed isolated system‚ if no net external force acts on a system of particles‚ the total

ROBUST C ONTROL STATEMENT The objective of this project is to design a controller that meets the specified robust performance criteria. When the cart-spring pendulum system is considered‚ these criteria reflects on robustness to outside disturbance and plant uncertainty. To get this controller‚ it is necessary to set up this problem in a

The purpose of this experiment is to use the ballistic pendulum to determine the initial velocity of a projectile using conservation of momentum and conservation of energy as well as motion of projectiles.
