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 linear momentum of the system cannot change. There are two simple types of collisions‚ elastic and inelastic. If the total kinetic energy of the two systems is conserved then the collision is known as elastic

Chris Crouse‚ Juan Agosto‚ Bianca Butler‚ Hunter Zaun Feb. 12‚ 2013 Mrs. Rarig Physics Projectile Range Versus Angle Intro: First off‚ what projectile motion is motion in two dimensions in both X & Y directions. The only force on the projectile is gravity. With gravity being a presence and a factor in our everyday lives and in this experiment‚ gravity will push down on the projectile forcing it back down to the ground. For example if someone shot a cannon straight and there was no gravity

The first slinky’s mass was weighed‚ using a scale‚ and its tension was measured using a force measurer 2. The slinky was stretched to 4m. 3. The linear mass density was solved for‚ by dividing the mass by the length. 4. The theoretical velocity was solved for‚ using the equation

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found

Determining the Acceleration Due to Gravity with a Simple Pendulum Quintin T. Nethercott and M. Evelynn Walton Department of Physics‚ University of Utah‚ Salt Lake City‚ 84112‚ UT‚ USA (Dated: March 6‚ 2013) Using a simple pendulum the acceleration due to gravity in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ USA was found to be (9.8 +/- .1) m/s2 . The model was constructed with the square of the period of oscillations in the small angle approximation being proportional to the length of the pendulum. The model was supported

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive
