ANALYSIS
There are lots of topics to be discussed in Physics. There are always new discoveries all the time. The world, and everything in it, moves. Even seemingly stationary things, such as a roadway, move with Earth’s rotation, Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the Sun’s orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and that galaxy’s migration relative to other galaxies. Dynamics is the study of the relationships between motion and forces. One of its branches is Kinematics, which is the lesson for this experiment, is a branch of mechanics that consists of the study of motion without considering the forces that cause or develop the motion. Kinematics can be described in terms of space and time. Motion is the action of changing position. The aspects of motion are time, position, displacement, velocity and acceleration.
Newton has described objects in motion in balanced and unbalanced state. There is equilibrium to the object with balanced forces that are acting on it. He said that the object will never accelerate if there will be no net force acting on it. Thus, the velocity is constant and its acceleration is always zero. In the Second Law of Motion, he showed that an object will have acceleration due to unbalanced forces acting on it. There are two forces considered, net force and the mass of the object or the gravitational pull. Gravity is an existing force wherever the object is on. It is the pull of Earth in every object it is near with or within the atmosphere. Thus, there is always force acting on an object.
Experiment 102: Kinematics deals with the simplest type of motion, which is the motion of a particle in a straight line. In the experiment, a dynamics cart is used as well as a dynamics track, two photogates and photogate mounting brackets, a picket fence, a meter stick, an iron stand, and an iron stand. The experiment is subdivided into three parts. In the first part, the displacement of the dynamics cart is directly measured along with the time the
