Introduction The purpose of this section is to introduce the concepts of displacement‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. For the sake of simplicity‚ we shall restrict our attention to 1-dimensional motion. Displacement Consider a body moving in 1 dimension: e.g.‚ a train traveling down a straight railroad track‚ or a truck driving down an interstate in Kansas. Suppose that we have a team of observers who continually report the location of this body to us as time progresses. To be more exact‚ our observers

to any sport. The use of these science laws plays a big part in the way sports are played. Newtown’s laws of motion and the laws of thermodynamics set great examples in a tennis match to help us gain more knowledge in how they’re being used on earth. Newtown’s first law of motion is when force is being applied. If an object is left by itself it won’t move or change its state of motion. Unless the object is moved‚ pushed or pulled‚ it will change its state; it needs force in order to change its

Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around. 1. The green line points in the direction that the ball is going to go 2. The blue line changes the

II Uniform Circular Motion A. Nomenclature 1. Speed – magnitude of an objects rate of motion (no direction‚ scalar quantity) 2. Velocity – speed and direction of an objects motion (vector‚ mag & direction) 3. If a car’s speed is constant but direction is changing‚ velocity is changing. 4. 2 ways to change velocity (change speed or change direction). 5. acceleration – change in speed over time (vector quantity) TWO types; a. Linear acceleration – speed

Before World War I‚ films were being made mostly European countries and in Japan. When the war interrupted European filmmaking‚ however‚ the American film industry began to dominate the world market. In the years between 1917 and 1927 the silent film reached the peak of its development. United States had the largest film industry and American films dominated the international market. Germany and Japan still had some movie industries but mostly left to domestic. Many nations found film production

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

ROTATIONAL MOTION CENTRE OF MASS AND ROTATIONAL MOTION INTRODUCTION- For describing the motion of rigid bodies‚ we shall introduce the key concept of ‘centre of mass’. This concept enables us to understand how we can apply justifiably the Newton’s laws of motion‚ in essentially the same form to objects of large size including even the astronomical objects like the planets and the stars. KINDS OF MOTION OF A RIGID BODY- A rigid body may have three kinds of motion- (1) Pure Translation Motion- in such

Projectile Motion You have probably watched a ball roll off a table and strike the floor. What determines where it will land? Could you predict where it will land? In this experiment‚ you will roll a ball down a ramp and determine the ball’s velocity with a pair of Photogates. You will use this information and your knowledge of physics to predict where the ball will land when it hits the floor.
