    Student Exploration: Fan Cart Physics Vocabulary: acceleration‚ force‚ friction‚ mass‚ newton‚ Newton’s first law‚ Newton’s second law‚ Newton’s third law‚ velocity Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Imagine a horse pulling a cart. What would happen to the speed of the cart if several bags of cement were added to the cart? The speed of the cart would decrease. 2. Suppose several more horses were hitched up to the same cart. How would this affect the speed

    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

    Impact Of a Jet Introduction: Over the years‚ engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be imparted by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example‚ the pelt on wheel has been used to make flour. Further more‚ the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings

    edges the acoustic flow velocity amplitude is comparable to the main flow velocity. A two-dimensional potential flow model based on the vortex blob method‚ used to simulate the flow in the junction‚ describes accurately the flow visualization and laser Doppler data obtained in pipes with square cross-sections and with sharp edged junctions. The numerical simulation is used to calculate the acoustical power generated by the vortical flow at a given amplitude of the acoustic velocity field and Strouhal number
