Perpetual Motion I will be researching perpetual motion and why it is said to be impossible. The reason I chose this topic is because I remember learning the laws of thermodynamics in my eighth grade science class. After explaining these laws‚ the teacher added‚ “…and that is why perpetual motion machines are impossible.” Since we have been studying related topics such as motion‚ gravity‚ and friction‚ I figure it would be a great time to learn specifically why it is considered impossible

Stop motion animation has a long history in film. It was often used to show objects moving as if by magic. The first instance of the stop motion technique can be credited to Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton for The Humpty Dumpty Circus (1897)‚ in which a toy circus of acrobats and animals comes to life. In 1902‚ the film Fun in a Bakery Shop used the stop-trick technique in the "lightning sculpting" sequence. French trick film maestro Georges Méliès used true stop-motion to produce moving title-card

Circular Motion Uniform circular motion is the movement of an object or particle trajectory at a constant speed around a circle with a fixed radius. The fixed radius‚ r‚ is the position of an object in uniform or circular motion relative to to the center of the circle. The length of the position vector of the circle does not change but its direction does as the object follows its circular path. In order to find the object’s velocity‚ one needs to find its displacement vector over the specific

between the two lines is that one line is at a faster speed than the other in the same amount of time. While one is steeper the other one is not as steep. 2. How would the graph change if you walked toward the Motion Detector rather than away from it? Test your answer using the Motion Detector. Since the graph is going in a positive direction‚ the guess would be‚ that the graph would start from the top instead of the bottom‚ and would go downward causing the direction to become negative.

Motion graphic If you’re a fan of the show Mad Men or have seen the opening‚ then you’ve seen a motion graphic. Motion graphics were all the rage in the 1960s (hence the look for the Mad Men series set in the advertising field of the 1960s) and were popular in movies‚ TV show openings and commercials. You’ve seen plenty of them‚ now that you’ve put the graphic with the term. They’re once again on TV‚ commercials‚ movies‚ web sites and any other visual medium. Is it that they are retro? Do

Projectile Motion Experiment # 4 Introduction: Projectile Motion exists commonly in our everyday lives and is particularly evident in the motion or flight of objects which are projected from a particular height. The key to working with projectile motion is recognizing that when an object with mass is flying through the air‚ its motion is a combination of vertical and horizontal movements. Although the horizontal velocity of the object remains constant throughout the flight‚ it’s vertical velocity

circle) were used to describe anomalies such as the retrograde motion of planets. Equants (a point which the centre of a planet’s epicycle moved at a uniform velocity) were used to approximate where planets would be at a certain time. Even though the Ptolemaic model had various defects‚ as astronomers assumed that all the planets revolved at a uniform rate‚ planets revolved in perfect circles‚ and didn’t explain the retrograde motion of planets that it was formulated to do; it was still widely accepted

Assessment Task #1: Part A Open ended investigation By Rex Whiticker Projectile Motion Abstract: The Project motion of a catapult being fired is varied by a range of factors that affect the path of the projectile. In this experiment‚ the angle of trajectory‚ mass of the projectile and change in initial velocity of the launch‚ were all factors considered in the end result to investigate the properties of projectile motion. The purpose of the experiment was to conduct a first-hand investigation to design

Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion
