information to determine a value for acceleration due to gravity using the pendulum motion or computer assisted technology and identify reasons for possible variations in the value 9.8m.s-1 AIM: To measure the value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. APARATUS: A weight attached to a thick‚ non-elastic string that was tied to a clamp on a retort stand. METHOD: 1) Set the pendulum in motion‚ making sure it doesn’t swing in a deflection greater than 30° (as greater than

which it hits next dominoes is increased it will take longer for it hit‚ acceleration is constant‚ the longer it has to travel‚ the longer it will take to hit. According to Newton’s first law every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. This relates to the domino effect since the nothing can happen until the first domino hits the second one and continues in such a pattern. Due to the conservation of energy‚ the law

PHYSICS UNIT 2 Physics P2 for GCSE Additional Science or GCSE Physics AQA GCSE Science PHYSICS 2 Unit P2.1 Forces and their effects Appreciate that forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs

of a process called motion capture. Motion capture has been around since the late 1970s‚ where it was then called rotoscoping and was used by Walt Disney in the film Snow White (Sturman). To begin with‚ the term “motion capture” actually has many different names‚ such as mocap‚ performance animation‚ performance capture‚ virtual theater‚ digital puppetry‚ real-time animation‚ and the favorite among traditional key frame animators is “The Devil’s Rotoscope” (Furniss). Motion capture‚ in its most

whether it will be powered by AC or DC and what reliability is required. The essentials of an electric motor are the supply of electrical energy to a coil in a magnetic field causing it to rotate. The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator‚ mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy while the opposite occurs in an electric motor. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current

Matching PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled‚ the speed and whether the motion of the student is accelerating or decelerating

Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet

The objective of the first part of the experiment was to derive an expression‚ under conditions with negligible friction‚ for the acceleration of a cart on a level track when it is attached by a string to a hanging mass at the end of the track. With the value of acceleration and the mass of the weight divided by the mass of the weight plus the mass of the cart‚ a value for free fall acceleration (g) could be determined. For the second part of the experiment‚ the objective was to derive a second equation
