Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to be able to measure the velocity of a ball using two Photogates and computer software for timing‚ apply concepts from two-dimensional kinematics to predict the impact point of a ball in projectile motion and ability to understand trial-to-trial variations in the velocity measurement when calculating

Introduction: This lab is an experiment in terminal velocity‚ the speed an object cannot surpass due to frictional forces. To begin‚ it is important to note that the objects in this lab are not in a free-fall scenario. A free-fall scenario is a situation where an object is dropped in a frictionless environment‚ and the only force that is acting upon it is the force of gravity. In a free fall environment‚ terminal velocity would not occur‚ because no frictional forces would act on the object to

is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include physics‚ the first one being displacement. This happens when a

of a puck constrained by a string‚ traveling a circular path on an air table. Be sure the 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. a. The puck in the Gizmo is traveling at a constant speed‚ but it is NOT traveling at a constant velocity. Explain why. b. Because the velocity of the puck is changing (because its direction is changing)‚ the puck must be experiencing an acceleration. Click BAR CHART and choose Acceleration

was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled‚ the speed and whether the motion of the student is accelerating or decelerating.

positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main objective of performing this experiment is to measure the velocity and position of the ball to eventually find the acceleration of free fall. A computer program called‚ DataStudio‚ was used to create a graph of position vs. time and a graph of velocity vs. time. The second part of the experiment involved randomly dropping a ruler and having your partner catch it to determine reaction time. Questions

This will measure the acceleration‚ velocity‚ and position of the cart as it moves down the track. The most important measurement collected is the velocity; which will be used to calculate the momentum. We will also explore how mass impacts in the change of momentum‚ and if there can be a non-changing impulse between the two carts with different

Velocity is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. the length of an imaginary straight path‚ typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P.
