One World: Motion Topic: Write an article that explores how the Physics of Motion is (or can be) used to solve a specific problem in a local or global context. Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

Practice Projectiles (Source for the first five problems WWW.MIAMI-BEST-MATH-TUTOR.COM‚ 1. 1. A physics book slides off a horizontal table top with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350 s. Ignore air resistance. Find the height of the table top above the floor; the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; the horizontal and vertical components of the book’s velocity‚ and the magnitude and direction of its velocity‚ just before

Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where

is thrown‚ hurled or shot in the air‚ the object is a PROJECTILE (“Projectile”). The study of projectile is important because it must be realized that they are very much part of man’s daily life then and now. Whether man likes it or not‚ he encounters and uses projectile in his everyday life. Our hunting ancestors threw stones and spears on animals to kill them for their food. In today’s sports‚ balls follow projectile motion such as when a basketball player shoots the ball into

Procedures: Create a ramp that can be a repeatable launcher for your marble‚ one in which the marble will not bounce once hitting ground surface. Take 2 photogates and place them 10 centimeters apart‚ along the edge of the table. (d) The photogates are instruments that will time the marbles speed. Measure the height (h) carefully‚ in which is vertical to the floor. Time the marble several times as you launch it from the ramp; make sure to catch the marble as it leaves the table. Use the

The Physics and Components of Medieval Projectile Launchers Before the age of cannons‚ gunpowder‚ and modern warfare‚ projectiles were fired using machines generally identified as catapults. Civilizations in the middle ages were the ones to use the catapult the most‚ utilizing basic laws of physics to hit their target. We will look at different designs in catapults and how they function. Even today‚ launching projectiles is a lesson in physics. Catapults are no exception. From the great minds of

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

Translational motion Translational motion is the aspect in which a body moves from a specific point to the next. This can be in terms of objects‚ molecules or atoms. This kind of motion normally takes place in a straight line for instance bullet which is fired by a gun. The object in motion does not change by turning on its axis for it travels in a straight line. Any slight change or rotation can cause the object to change direction in general making it not move toward the specified direction.

LivePhoto Physics Activity 12 Name: __________________________ Date: __________________10/22/14_________ Projectile Motion Vectors There are multiple ways to represent an object’s motion. If the motion is two-dimensional and lies in a plane‚ some representations include: (1) recording x and y coordinates of the object at different times in a data table; (2) displaying the object’s x and y locations at regular time intervals on a diagram; (3) drawing vectors showing displacement‚ velocity
