Objective: To study the conservation of energy and momentum using projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation 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

All planets except Mercury and Venus have at least one moon. Saturn has the greatest number of moons—18. In 1995‚ the Hubble Space Telescope detected what appeared to be four additional moons of Saturn; however‚ that discovery has yet to be confirmed. Planet | Number of Moons | Names of Moons | Mercury | 0 | | Venus | 0 | | Earth | 1 | The Moon (sometimes called Luna) | Mars | 2 | Phobos‚ Deimos | | Jupiter | 16* | Metis‚ Adrastea‚ Amalthea‚ Thebe‚ Io‚ Europa‚ Ganymede‚ Callisto

Impulse and Momentum Lab Part I: As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum‚ our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity‚ we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track‚ a timer

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

Physics Lab Report#3 “Determining the period of a pendulum” Name: Fei Huo Date performed: October 1st‚ 2014 Period 5 Teacher: Mr. Glasel Purpose: The Purpose of this Lab was so that my classmates and I can examine what kind of factors affect the period of a pendulum. Introduction: In a simple form‚ the pendulum is a weight hung from a long string that Galileo discovered that it can be used to track the passage of time very accurately around 400 years ago. In this
