Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials. Dependent Variable: The

Laura Cortez Science Per. D 11/28/12 Soccer Ball Lab I. INTRODUCTION Speed‚ distance‚ time‚ and acceleration are all very complex formulas that are interdependent. These formulas are measured in motion data and used to determine the final instantaneous speed‚ distance‚ time‚ and acceleration. Distance and time are two formulas that are used to determine speed and time. For example‚ distance equals speed multiplied with time given‚ time equals distance divided by speed‚ and speed is

hit the ground exactly. 3. When counting the dots we could have missed counted the dots because they were small and faint. Conclusion: The acceleration of the 50 g rate weight was .10 greater than the weight of the 100 g weight; however‚ this is attributed to our sources of error. Therefore‚ we concluded that mass does not affect the acceleration due to

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

Physics Investigation Investigation Question: Does the mass effect the acceleration of each person while going down the slide? Hypothesis: The heavie How will we take measurements? Using the equations: V= u+at s=ut + .5 at2 Measure the overall distance the mass will be travelling. To calculate the time it took to reach the end of the ramp‚ then using the equations above‚ add in the distance‚ time‚ and initial velocity. Variables Independent: Difference of weight on each

experiment consisted of two parts‚ the first part was done with springs hanging weights as well as the pulling down of a string attached to the spring for both individual and two springs. The second part was done with a collision cart and springs attached on both ends of the cart. The data obtained supported that simple harmonic motion obeys Hooke’s law as the spring value constants were all positive and the graphs displayed a positive slope. The percent discrepancy obtained for one spring was 14.66%

more and more as time passes‚ showing that the velocity is increased each second. As the car is also moving in the positive direction‚ it shows that the car is travelling down the ramp‚ and moving further from its starting point each second. The velocity at 0 seconds on the velocity time graph is 14.6 cm/s [down ramp]. The velocity
