    The pendulum shows elastic collision and conserved momentum. In this set up‚ no momentum is actually lost. Ball 0 just transfers its momentum to stationary ball 1 which it collides with(head-on collision) so ball 0 is put to stop then ball 1 collides with ball 2 causing ball 1 to stop and transfer its momentum to ball 2 and so on until the momentum gets transferred to ball 4 then ball 3 collides with ball 2 and the cycle continues.

    relationship between periodic time and length for a simple pendulum. Apparatus: Pendulum bob‚ light string‚ clamp stand‚ meter ruler‚ stopwatch‚ graph paper. Theory: The relationship between two physical quantities can be determined by graphical means. For a simple pendulum‚ the relationship between periodic time and length is given by the equation Where‚ T is the periodic time‚ 1 is the length of the pendulum string and g is acceleration due to gravity A graph of periodic time against length should

    earth; gravity. Whenever I think of gravity‚ the same questions never fail to come to mind. What exactly is gravity? Could human life possible go on without gravity? How exactly does gravity work in terms of numbers and formulas? How was gravity truly discovered and defined‚ and by whom? Gravity is universal‚ and it not affects earth and its inhabitants‚ but also the entire nebulous of stars and planets. Gravity is the force that pulls all things toward the center of the earth. Gravity holds your

    Scientific question: How does the incline of a slope influence the acceleration of a cart when it travels down a wooden plank? Introduction: What is an incline plane? Commonly referred to as a ramp or a slope‚ an incline plane is an even surface that is titled at an angle. An object placed on the tilted surface will often slide down the surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater

    length of a simple pendulum affects the time for a complete swing Theory When the pendulum is at the top of its swing it is momentarily stationary. It has zero kinetic energy and maximum gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum falls the potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. The speed increases as the pendulum falls and reaches a maximum at the bottom of the swing. Here the speed and kinetic energy are a maximum‚ and the potential energy is a minimum. As the pendulum rises the

    What is the direction of the acceleration vector for each of these situations? Remember that if an object speeds up‚ then the velocity and acceleration vectors are in the same direction. If an object slows down‚ then they are in opposite directions. Any object that is traveling in a vertical direction also experiences acceleration due to gravity. Left: Object travels to left and speeds up. Down: Object is tossed upward. A ball is tossed up into the air with a velocity of 50 m/s. The figure

    Pendulum From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released‚ the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass
