Purpose Determine the acceleration in a quick sprint. 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

April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation of momentum. Because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction‚ the horizontal component (v_x) of the projectile’s velocity remains unchanged from its initial value throughout the motion. In a closed isolated system‚ if no net external force acts on a system of particles‚ the total linear momentum of the system cannot change. There are two simple types

identified. I also have referred to explosions as divisions. Is this appropriate? Newton’s First Law of Motion: A body will remain at rest or moving with constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Example: • Q: while traveling in train if one throws a ball up it lands on his palm though the train is moving. my doubt is that though the ball is detached from motion how does it manage to land on his palm though he is moving along with the train? • A: he ball

Controlled variables: 1. The lighting was kept constant during the complete test. No additional light sources were added throughout the experiment‚ nor were any light sources removed throughout the experiment. This minimized the errors involved with trying to read and record the indicated measurements on the ticker tape‚ as well as the ability to analyze the experiment. 2. The same person measured and recorded the height and length of the incline plane and level horizontal track to ensure consistency

Karunakaran Physics Honors Period 6 Physics Kinematics Lab Report Kinematics is the study of the motion of bodies without reference to mass or force. This lab aided students in observing kinematics by giving them a visual graph to look at from experiments previously performed. Variables used in this lab were “x” for position of the object‚ “v” for velocity of the object‚ and “a” for acceleration of the object. Understanding the graphical representation of motion was important
