LAW TONG &AIDEN 2013/9/23 AP PHYSICS B Mr. Moss THE LAB OF ATWOOD Procedure: The purpose of this experiment was to verify the predictions of Newton’s Law for an Atwood machine‚ a simple machine constructed by hanging two different masses and from a string passing over pulleys and observing their acceleration.. Newton’s Law predicts that the acceleration should be proportional to the difference between the masses and proportional to their sum‚ where = 9.8 m/s2 is the

Physics Stage 6 – Yr 12 Notes 9.2 Space: Context 1 – The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on it and around it. Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field Mass (m): • The amount of matter in a body • Constant anywhere in the universe • Scalar quantity • Measured in Kilograms (Kg) Weight (W): • The force acting on an object due to a gravitational field • Attractive force • Vector quantity

Background Information: Equation One: T=2πlg Where T = the period of the pendulum (s). This is the time taken for the pendulum to return to its starting position. l = length of the pendulum g = the rate of acceleration due to gravity (ms-2) * In

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‚ that potential energy changes to kinetic energy‚ or energy of motion. The sum of the two types of energy is constant‚ but a roller coaster must maintain an

Shanise Hawes 04/04/2012 Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Introduction: In this two part lab we sought out to demonstrate simple harmonic motion by observing the behavior of a spring. For the first part we needed to observe the motion or oscillation of a spring in order to find k‚ the spring constant; which is commonly described as how stiff the spring is. Using the equation Fs=-kx or‚ Fs=mg=kx; where Fs is the force of the spring‚ mg represents mass times gravity‚ and kx is the spring constant

1. In The Sociological Imagination‚ Mills discusses personal troubles and social issues. Define both of these terms and discuss two examples of both personal troubles and social issues from a sociological perspective. According to Mills‚ personal trouble occurs within the character of the individual and within the range of his immediate relations with others: they have to do with his self and with those limited areas of social life of which he is directly and personally aware. A trouble is a private

= m x g x h supports the fact that as height increases (keeping the mass constant) the energy stored‚ that is‚ the potential energy increases. So when the ball is released the energy stored inside the ball would get converted to kinetic energy of motion which collides with the clay slab resulting in a crater. Thus increasing the height increases the energy stored in the ball and so when dropped‚ more of the energy would be converted to kinetic energy as a result of which the velocity at which the
