We can relate physics to softball in many different ways. It is actually hard to not think about the game of softball without some physics in mind. Specifically‚ the ideas of momentum and energy helps define the way softball works and why it works. Momentum Running: When running the bases in softball‚ there is a lot more to it then the average person would think. While we run the bases‚ we are changing our momentum by applying more force‚ the force of friction‚ onto the ground which causes more

Physics of Volleyball Physics is the study of energy and how it is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

2-8 Refraction and polarization of light 5. Experiment Results A. Linearity of light 1. The light beam does go straight when we tested on the angle board. 2. As the source of light beam was getting farther away from the slit‚ the beam becomes narrower and shorter in addition to fading. This is because light particles escape more when they travel to go through the slit. B. Law of reflection Angle of incidence is the angle formed by a ray incident on a surface

PDP Physics Lab Report – 01 NAME: Wang Xueqian DATE: 2014/06/21 Introduction In this experiment‚ we will investigate the relationship between the linear speed of an object and magnitude of centripetal force acting on it. We will use a stopper moving in a circle to create an upward force on the hanging mass; at equilibrium‚ the upward force on the mass will exactly equal the centripetal force.

Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is a constant. TMEinitial=TMEfinal 3. Explain the basic ideas that govern the design and operation of a roller coaster. A roller coaster is operated and designed through the application of Physics. The law of Conservation of Energy governs the changes in a coaster ’s speed and height. Simply put‚ the higher an object is off the ground‚ the more potential energy it has - that is‚ potential to gain speed as it falls. As it falls toward the ground

Preliminary HSC Physics Research Task Part 1 - Inertia Inertia is what keeps an object in its rest state or moving at constant velocity. In other words‚ it is the tendency for objects to resist a change in their motion. The only thing inertia depends on is the mass of the object‚ so heavier objects have more inertia and it is harder to change its motion. When you accelerate quickly‚ you get pushed back against the seat. Because of inertia‚ your body keeps traveling at the same velocity as before
