Ballistic Pendulum (Revised May 22‚ 2012) GOALS (1) To determine the launch speed of the steel ball for the short‚ medium‚ and long range settings on the projectile launcher apparatus using the equations for projectile motion. (2) To use the concept of gravitational potential energy and energy conservation to determine the speed of the ball plus pendulum as it first begins to swing away from the vertical position after the “collision.” (3) To explore the relationships between the momentum

Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)

ballet dancers you think of grace and beauty. While you watch a dancer dance you never think of the physics and mathematics behind their every move. Physics is described as a thing that is all about measurement‚ and that if you know the units of measurement that physics uses and how they work you will understand everything else you’ll learn about (Dennis and Moring 1). The textbook definition of physics is “the study of matter and energy and their relationships” (Zitzewitz 1). Ballet cannot be defined

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

physics paper work Physics - the study of matter‚ energy and their interactions – is an international enterprise‚ which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The support of physics education and research in all countries is important because: physics is and exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about nature. Physics is the most basic of the physical sciences. From chemistry and geology through to biology and cosmology

object’s momentum can be transferred to impulse‚ which is the product of force (N) and time (s) over which the force acts. This allows us to write the momentum-impulse theorem: Procedure: Play with the Sims Physics Motion Collision Lab Work with 1D collisions at this level. Later (AP Physics) you’ll use trigonometry to solve 2D collisions. Velocity to the right is positive‚ left is negative. Check your work in the simulation after you have completed the tables.
