surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater the tilt of the plane‚ the faster the rate which an object will slide down. Thus‚ if a physics cart is released on at a steep slope‚ the acceleration of the cart is expected to roll down the slope at a faster rate. As shown in figure 1‚ when a cart is released on an inclined plane‚ there’s always two to four forces acting upon the cart – the

AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment

The Physics of Rainbows As we are coming down to the final weeks of winter‚ the days are getting longer‚ and it is slowing starting to warm up. We are all looking forward to springtime‚ with its promises of flowers and rain. Along with this rain brings reminders of rainbows. As Donald Ahrens says in the Meteorology Today magazine‚ “rainbows are one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth (About).” In fact‚ one of the best ways to view a rainbow at it’s utmost

PHYSICS WORK SHEET - 2 CLASS – IX LESSON : MOTION 1. Analyze the following situation and answer the following questions. A circular track has a circumference of 3140m with AB as one of its diameter. A man riding a scooter moves from A to B along the circular path with a uniform speed of 10 m/s. a) Distance covered by the man b) Displacement of the man c) Time taken by the man in reaching from A to B. 2. A car starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m/s2 for 2 minutes. Find the

Murphy Grand Canyon University: Physics 1 Lab September 5‚ 2013 Testable Question: Circular objects; what happens to the circumference as the diameter changes? Hypothesis: As the diameter increases‚ the circumference will increase in a proportional linear way. This is because as the diameter increase‚ the object will as well. Variables: Independent- The diameter of the circular objects. Dependent- The circumference of the
