Premium Velocity Acceleration Classical mechanics
Tumble Buggy Lab‚ my partners and I used several different methods to calculate the velocity of a Tumble Buggy. The methods we used were a meter stick and a timer‚ a Spark Timer‚ a Photogate‚ and a Motion Sensor. Each method was different but overall‚ our velocities were very similar. Using the meter stick and timer‚ our velocity was 0.22 m/s. With the spark timer‚ our velocity was 0.26 m/s. Next‚ the velocity found with the Photogate was 0.325 m/s. Finally‚ when we used the motion sensor‚ we 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

conducted on 13th August 2008 in Machines Dynamics Laboratory. The experiment was conducted in groups of four‚ and was supervised by lecturer Mr. Mohd Azahari Johan. Conducting this experiment is for fulfilling the requirements of Applied Mechanics Lab (MEC 424). A pendulum is defined as body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and from by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery. Therefore‚ a compound

It transforms linear motion to circular motion or vice versa. A crank is an arm attached at right angles to a rotating shaft by which reciprocating motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. It is used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion‚ or vice-versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft‚ or

One World: Motion Topic: Write an article that explores how the Physics of Motion is (or can be) used to solve a specific problem in a local or global context. Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

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

Measure the mass f the stopper and washer‚ m‚ and record it in the data and observations section. Then‚ prepare the experimental apparatus as shown in figure A. 2. Throughout this experiment‚ you will need to maintain a constant radius of uniform circular motion while ensuring that all of the centripetal
