April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

PHYS 211 Physics for Science and Engineering Experiment 1: Projectile Motion Physics Lab Report 3 OBJECTIVE The objective of the experiment is to measure the speed at which a projectile leaves a spring gun and to predict the landing point when the projectile is fired at a nonzero angle of elevation. EQUIPMENT Spring gun Metal ball Protractor Meter stick Ruler Whiteboard markers THEORY Projectile motion is an example of motion with a constant acceleration. In this experiment

identified. I also have referred to explosions as divisions. Is this appropriate? Newton’s First Law of Motion: A body will remain at rest or moving with constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Example: • Q: while traveling in train if one throws a ball up it lands on his palm though the train is moving. my doubt is that though the ball is detached from motion how does it manage to land on his palm though he is moving along with the train? • A: he ball

Controlled variables: 1. The lighting was kept constant during the complete test. No additional light sources were added throughout the experiment‚ nor were any light sources removed throughout the experiment. This minimized the errors involved with trying to read and record the indicated measurements on the ticker tape‚ as well as the ability to analyze the experiment. 2. The same person measured and recorded the height and length of the incline plane and level horizontal track to ensure consistency

Solving Part A: Center of Mass in One Direction 1. Since the mass of the plate is a uniform‚ the center of mass is in the center of the plate. The plate has diameter d = 28 cm‚ thus the center of mass is 14 cm from the edge of the plate. In the lab‚ two scenarios will be analyzed; 1) when the glass is standing up‚ and 2) when the glass is laying on its side. When the glass is standing up‚ its mass is uniform about the axis of symmetry. Therefore‚ the horizontal center of mass will be at the exact
