is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the second experiment‚ acceleration of a cart traveling

Physics (from Greek)‚ i.e. "knowledge‚ science of nature"‚ from φύσις‚ physis‚ i.e. "nature"[1][2][3][4][5]) is a part of natural philosophy and a natural science that involves the study of matter[6] and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[7] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[8][9][10] Physics is the field of science that studies the physical world. From the large (galaxies

Uncovering the Success of Defying Gravity By Micha Konopka A truly inspirational song‚ that repeatedly receives thunderous applause‚ Wicked’s showstopper Defying Gravity is an exceptional composition accompanied by an electrifying performance. As a showstopper it’s role is to excite the audience‚ which it most certainly does. With Awarding-winning composer Stephen Schwartz being the genius behind the song‚ it’s no secret why Defying Gravity is such a success. Through his manipulation of the various

Regents Physics Constant Velocity/ Acceleration Lab 10-3-13 Problem: Graphical Analysis of Constant Velocity and Accelerated Motion. Theory: Gravitational acceleration is constant on Earth g=9.8m/s2 Therefore‚ when the golf ball is dropped‚ the acceleration will be equal to gravitational acceleration agb=9.8m/s2 Given there is no air resistance‚ this means that when the golf ball is dropped from a given distance‚ according to the formulas‚ the golf ball will accelerate

Physics can simply be defined as the science that studies the mechanics of matter‚ motion‚ energy‚ and force. Dance in my opinion is a type of performance categorized as a form of art that involves the mind‚ body‚ soul‚ and a little something called physics. Dancing is a personal favorite hobby of mine‚ but I’ve never really considered the physics side of dancing which seems odd considering all the different movements and techniques that involve many principles of physics such as rotational inertia

The sport of tennis has multiple opportunities in which the study of physics can go in depth. The sport’s court‚ racquet‚ ball‚ and even the player contain unlimited amounts of physics in which a person can go more into detail with as they study. While it is true that these all contain some form of physics‚ the racquet and how it interacts with the ball is where most of the physics is apparent. Starting with the racquet a person is able to see four main areas of focus. These focuses consist of the

Physics can be related to sports and fitness on many different levels. When you lift weights‚ play sports or even buy athletic equipment you probably don’t know how much physics was really put into any of it. Weightlifter’s need to know which workout is better. Also the equipment athletes use relate to physics. Manufactures design equipment for athletes‚ which involve physics. The manufactures need to think about what will make the object better and what materials will cause the equipment

The Tuskegee experiment was a mind blowing experiment conducted by the Public Health Service (PHS) which lasted forty-years. It took place between 1932 and 1972 in Tuskegee‚ Alabama. This experiment affected many African-American males who were basically used as human “guinea pigs” in order to follow the movement of Syphilis. According to Harry Reasoner‚ “they used human beings as laboratory animals in a long and inefficient study of how long it takes syphilis to kill someone.” (Harry Reasoner).

Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed
