The Ballistic Pendulum Crime Lab Physics You are a criminologist‚ and have been given a gun which has been used in the commission of a crime. Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there

8th physics light reflection refraction eyes defect and dispersion The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray. The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence. The ray of light which is sent back by the mirror is called the reflected ray. The ‘normal’ is a line drawn at right angles to the mirror surface at the point of incidence. The angle between incident ray and normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between

Experiment 1: Simple Harmonic Motion Dominic Stone Lab Partner: Andrew Lugliani January 9‚ 2012 Physics 132 Lab Section 13 Theory For this experiment we investigated and learned about simple harmonic motion. To do this we hung and measured different masses on a spring-mass system to calculate the force constant k. Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion. It is best described as an oscillation motion that causes an object to move back-and-forth in response to

Presentation In Physics Objectives: 1. To answer the following questions: What is an investigatory project ? Why do 4th year students make an investigatory project ? Why did we choose our investigatory project ? To defend our investigatory project. What is an investigatory project ? An investigatory project is also known as an experimental project and is one which is used to show how something might happen if certain conditions are added to it. It can also be used to investigate why

Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down

Physics 1 – Mechanics and Heat Lecture Notes Prepared by: ENGR. HAROLD JAN R. TERANO‚ ECE Lesson 5 ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS Uniform Circular Motion – an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. Velocity is always tangent to the path in circular motion. Speed is constant‚ velocity is not. Centripetal Acceleration‚ – acceleration that maintains the object along a circular path directed towards the center. Also called as radial acceleration

ATOMIC PHYSICS The nuclear atom All matter is made up of atoms which consist of a central nucleus‚ surrounded by electrons. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. Particle Relative mass Charge Location Proton 1840 + Nucleus Neutron 1840 0 Nucleus Electron 1 - Outside nucleus Proton or atomic number (Z) This is the total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleon or mass number (A) This is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Note: a nucleon
