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

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

research to explore other scientific discoveries made by Galileo. Provide one example. Galileo discovered the concept of inertia. He proposed that objects in motion did not come to a stop because of a non-existent force‚ but because of a force between a surface and an object. This concept would later help further develop Newton’s Laws of Motion. 4. List three other scientific theories that have recently challenged scientific thoughts The Big Bang Theory‚ Copernican system and the Black Hole Theory

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

variables involved in uniform circular motion Hypothesis: I predict that the velocity of the stopper will increase as the radius is shortened. Rubber stopper with a hole PVC tube or wooden spool 1. Measure the mass f the stopper and washer‚ m‚ and record it in the data and observations section. Then‚ prepare the experimental apparatus as shown in figure A. 2. Throughout this experiment‚ you will need to maintain a constant radius of uniform circular motion while ensuring that all of the centripetal

The Ballistic Pendulum Crime Lab Physics You are a criminologist‚ and have been given a gun which has been used in the commission of a crime. Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there

Student Project The Physics of Sports Instructions: One of the best (and most fun) ways to explore physics and how it relates to the real-world is through sports. Every sport utilizes multiple physics principles. For this project you will chose a sport and study the physics principles involved. The sport you choose must be an actual sport‚ not a computer simulation or animation You will create a short PowerPoint presentation (5 slides max) summarizing your project. The following outline is designed

Physics End of Year Reflection Paper At the beginning of this course you were given some overarching enduring understandings and essential questions. These were: Overarching Enduring Understandings: Students will uncover and use appropriate scientific models to describe and quantify the nature and interactions of matter and energy. Students should understand that there is a network of rules and relationships that determine what will happen in a given situation Students

science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the relation between
