Kathryn Marchessault Physics Lab LR Tuesday 8-9:55 Due 02/26/15 Experiment #1 Free Fall Experiment Abstract In this experiment we studied the motion of an object in free fall‚ that is an object being dropped from a certain height to Earth’s surface. In this experiment we tested the idea that no matter what the size‚ shape‚ color‚ etc. of the object if it would still experience the same constant acceleration throughout its fall (short distance). The constant downward acceleration it experiences

PHYS 221 Experiment M10 Harmonic Motion of a simple Pendulum Jacob LaMarre Group members: Josh‚ Courtney‚ Ashley Abstract: Determine the acceleration due to gravity using a pendulum. Introduction: A simple pendulum consists of a mass suspended by a length of string. When set Oscillating‚ the mass will have a period “T” given by the following equation. This equation shows the only variables that affect the rate at which the pendulum swings is the length “l” that is measured to the center

by many as a cruel and primitive sport‚ however every aspect within the sport of football is based in the field of physics. To begin to understand the complexity that is the game of football one can start by looking at how the punter needs to know the laws of physics to kick far. A punter’s job is to execute a drop kick (holding the football out and dropping it‚ then kicking the ball in midair) so as to give the other team the worst field position possible. This goal is only achievable with a kick

Regents Physics Constant Velocity/ Acceleration Lab 10-3-13 Problem: Graphical Analysis of Constant Velocity and Accelerated Motion. Theory: Gravitational acceleration is constant on Earth g=9.8m/s2 Therefore‚ when the golf ball is dropped‚ the acceleration will be equal to gravitational acceleration agb=9.8m/s2 Given there is no air resistance‚ this means that when the golf ball is dropped from a given distance‚ according to the formulas‚ the golf ball will accelerate

PHYSICS PROJECT TO STUDY THE OPTICAL LENS OF A HUMAN EYE Eyes are organs that detect light‚ and convert it to electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment; regulates its intensity through a diaphragm; focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image; converts this image into a set of electrical signals;

Circuit analysis means looking at a schematic diagram for a circuit and computing the voltage‚ current‚ or power for any component in that circuit. Closely related to the task of circuit analysis is the task of troubleshooting‚ which means figuring out what is wrong in a circuit that is not working correctly. Analyzing and troubleshooting go hand in hand; when a circuit
