Components of Force Vectors Equipment: String‚ spring scales‚ 1.00 kg hooked mass‚ supports‚ meter stick‚ protractor‚ 20-N spring scales. Objective: During this lab‚ you will investigate the relationship between the angle of an applied force and the magnitude of one component. You will compare your actual force with the theoretical force and provide a computer generated data table that calculates the theoretical values. You will graph your actual and theoretical values and provide a complete

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher

with craters‚ formed by many asteroids smashing into its surface. These crater differed greatly in size‚ making it easy to assume that the larger the asteroid‚ the larger the crater. While this is partially true‚ it is not the only factor that controls crater size. This experiment will be exploring the asteroids speed and how this effects a craters size. Aim This scientific experiment was conducted to find how the impact speed/energy of an asteroid affects the diameter/size of a crater. Method

3. Recent technological developments have allowed greater use of the electromagnetic spectrum 1. describe electromagnetic waves in terms of their speed in space and their lack of requirement of a medium for propagation In space (a vacuum) electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light‚ a constant equal to 3.00108ms1. Unlike sound waves‚ electromagnetic waves do not vibrate particles‚ therefore they do not need a medium (substance) to propagate (move). 2. identify the electromagnetic wavebands

COMBUSTION AND FIRE INVESTIGATION There are many different types of fires and it can be quite difficult to establish what may have started the fire in the first place. Fire investigation is an important process that attempts to establish the cause of the fire and whether a criminal act has taken place. The National Fire Statistics in the UK compiled by the Home Office states that 25% of fires are electrical in origin but this does not tell the whole story. The statistics are compiled from fire

Some reasons that a homicide investigation starts at the primary crime scene is mainly because the police are usually called to this location by the person who discovers the body‚ or‚ a witness to the crime‚ but it could also in some cases even be the victim. In homicide cases‚ the location where the body is discovered hold a great deal of physical evidence and serves as a starting point for the beginning of an official investigation. At this point it is safe to say that it is important to assume

Criminal Investigations The method of inquiry is the way that an investigator or detective gathers information about a specific case. There is several different method of inquiry such as evidence collection‚ witness and victim statements‚ and information stored in public and private databases. The methods of inquiry are used to figure out what happened at a particular crime scene. A criminal investigator is trying to establish the who‚ what‚ where‚ when‚ why‚ and how of the crime. During this process
