the period and the frequency of a ticker timer. Materials/Apparatus: One ticker timer One carbon paper disc One 1.5+ meter tape One test tape One stop-watch Theory: The recording timer is a device that helps you study motion‚ it is a simple electric device plugged into mains power‚ with a stylus that vibrates up and down. The stylus hits a tape that can be drawn through leads‚ and presses it onto the carbon disc below. This leaves a dot on the tape for every hit. The

You throw the ball. You catch the ball‚" said a well-respected baseball manager by the name of Casey Stengel. Mr. Stengel was a baseball man‚ not a mathematician nor a physicist. Physics and mathematics can be applied to the game of baseball on every pitch‚ and on every swing of the bat. To understand the physics of the game‚ it is first necessary to look at the center of the game‚ the ball. Section 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules states that the ball must weigh between 5 ounces and 5 ¼

ATOMIC PHYSICS The nuclear atom All matter is made up of atoms which consist of a central nucleus‚ surrounded by electrons. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. Particle Relative mass Charge Location Proton 1840 + Nucleus Neutron 1840 0 Nucleus Electron 1 - Outside nucleus Proton or atomic number (Z) This is the total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleon or mass number (A) This is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Note: a nucleon

Physics 1 – Mechanics and Heat Lecture Notes Prepared by: ENGR. HAROLD JAN R. TERANO‚ ECE Lesson 5 ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS Uniform Circular Motion – an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. Velocity is always tangent to the path in circular motion. Speed is constant‚ velocity is not. Centripetal Acceleration‚ – acceleration that maintains the object along a circular path directed towards the center. Also called as radial acceleration

Investigating Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion using an Air-track Introduction: My experiment is investigating the Newton’s 2nd law of motion by using an Air-track. The air-track can make the trolley frictionless by testing the velocity with different weights and shows that F=ma. Research question: How much acceleration does the frictionless trolley has? Aim: Use the air track to measure the acceleration of the no friction trolley by hanging with different mass of weights. Apparatus: *

There are several definitions of what the term motion sickness really means. According to the article Effects of Motion Sickness Severity on the Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials by Cynthia Fowler‚ Amanda Sweet‚ and Emily Steffel (2014)‚ explained that motion sickness is defined by unconscious and physical indicators of displeasure. Motion sickness can be caused by various forms of movement. Some movements could be made through transportation such as cars‚ air planes‚ subways‚ trains‚ and boats
