Gizmo has these settings: radius 8 m‚ mass 5 kg‚ and velocity 8 m/s. Then click Play and observe the motion of the puck. 1. The puck in the Gizmo is traveling at a constant speed‚ but it is NOT traveling at a constant velocity. Explain why. _______________________________________________________________ (Hint: Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both a magnitude and a direction.) 2. Because the velocity of the puck is changing (because its direction is changing)

The purpose of this experiment is to find out the relationship between the spacing of the magnets in a Gauss Rifle and the velocity of the last ball‚ and use it to determine the maximum velocity that can be achieved. III. Significance of the Study It is important for us to know whether the spacing in-between magnets would affect the overall velocity of the last ball. This will give us accurate measurements to improve the speed of the ball.

Impulse and Momentum Lab Part I: As the first lab of the Physics 2 curriculum‚ our class completed a lab experiment that introduced us students to a new concept that would be a foundation to the future topics that we learn in this class. In this lab activity‚ we used a lab cart on a flat track to compare the collision of the cart with a force sensor with and without the plunger during different trials. The materials that we would need for this activity are a lab cart on a flat track‚ a timer

Title: How does a moving cart rolling down a slope? Objectives: Adapt the traditional vertical and horizontal axes to a coordinate system aligned with a slope. Determine the acceleration of a cart that rolling down from a frictionless track (our assumption) by calculating theoretically and measuring experimentally. Compare the experimental and expected values of acceleration. Show that the acceleration of a cart moving down a slope (from frictionless track) is dependent on the angle of the slope

Purpose: To find the initial velocity of a marble leaving a ramp using time‚ range‚ and background information learned in class. Equipment: The equipment used in this experiment was a toy track and ramp‚ a small marble‚ multiple Physics textbooks‚ meter sticks‚ bright-colored cardstock‚ masking tape‚ sidewalk chalk‚ plastic bag and a cloth. Procedure: Our experimental values include the height that the marble would travel‚ y= 88.1 cm‚ and our ramp angle‚ θ= 44.0°. These independent variables
