    Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration should be positive and constant. Materials * Ticker

    vertically; there is no horizontal deceleration in the absence of aerodynamic forces. Acceleration is the same regardless of the weight of the implement. Therefore‚ the vertical velocity of a projectile decreases by 9.8 m/s every second. Linear Acceleration Acceleration is a measure of the time rate of change of velocity. Acceleration can be caused by a change in speed or direction or both. For example‚ a skater who goes from a standstill to full speed quicker than another skater has greater acceleration

    PHY 1103 Physics I RKMC - HCT   Learning Outcome 1: Sub-outcome 1: Assign given basic units to their corresponding physical quantities. All engineers must use the same language in their communications‚ and one of these universal communication tools is the units of measurements. Physical quantities such as length‚ weight‚ time‚ speed‚ force‚ and mass are measured with standard units. Therefore the magnitude if a physical quantity is given by a number and standard unit of measurement

    1 Introduction ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. Using a calculator to multiply the length by the width gives a raw answer of 6783 m 2 ‚ but this answer must be rounded to contain the same number of significant figures as the least accurate factor in the product. The least accurate factor is the length‚ which contains either 2 or 3 significant figures‚ depending on whether the trailing zero is significant or is being used only to locate the decimal point. Assuming the length contains 3 significant

The horizontal velocity is related to the range‚ while the vertical velocity is related to the maximum altitude. This experiment can help us reinforce the concepts related to the motion in two dimensions although the water rocket does not have the ideal situation. A lot of equations we learned in
