Circular Motion and Gravitation Circular motion is everywhere‚ from atoms to galaxies‚ from flagella to Ferris wheels. Two terms are frequently used to describe such motion. In general‚ we say that an object rotates when the axis of rotation lies within the body‚ and that it revolves when the axis is outside it. Thus‚ the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves about the Sun. When a body rotates on its axis‚ all the particles of the body revolve – that is‚ they move in circular paths about

One of the most compelling arguments made against the use of computers by children is the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This problem may be greater for children than for adults because their musculature and skeletal systems are not fully formed and may be at greater risk for injury. Children’s risk of suffering repetitive motion injuries may be further increased because they tend to use computers that are sized for adults‚ placed on adult-sized furniture‚ and positioned

undergo a vertical motion‚ but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is‚ as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally. There are the two components of the projectile’s motion - horizontal and vertical motion. And since perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other‚ these two components of motion can be discussed separately. The goal of this part of the lesson is to discuss the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion; specific attention

Approximation of Planck’s constant and work function using Photoelectric effect on the particle nature of light Abstract This experiment aims to demonstrate the particle nature of light by photoelectric effect. Stopping potential was measured against different intensities of yellow (λ = 578 nm) and green (λ = 546 nm) light from first order spectral lines of mercury. No significant relationship was observed for stopping potential and percent transmission. However‚ charging

Term 3 Uniform Circular Motion When a body moves in a circular path with a constant speed‚ it is said to undergo uniform circular motion. Although the speed is constant‚ velocity is continually changing‚ since it is constantly changing its direction of motion. Centripetal V V ac ac Acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle and is therefore called “centripetal acceleration.” ac =v^2r ac =v^2r If T is the time taken for one revolution then: V = 2πrT ac =v^2r

ARCELIA ARRATIA MEASUREMENT OF LENGTH‚ MASS‚ VOLUME‚ AND DENSITY PHYSICS LAB REPORT Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. Physics utilizes the scientific formula to test hypothesis and calculate matter such as density. Tools were created to measure material in a laboratory and have been perfected to reduce error. In this experiment measurement of length‚ mass‚ volume and density will be obtained through instruments of measuring

Perpetual Motion (of machines) is defined as “The motion of a machine that‚ once activated‚ would run forever unless subject to an external force”; is it possible? Let’s start off where it all began. Ever since the 8th century man has been attempting to build Perpetual Motion Machines‚ many were designs of a system of weights on a wooden wheel.[1] These work in a simple cycle starting with the weights on the left side‚ these weights hang close to the wheel resulting in a lower torque; but when the

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;
