Physics notes Force is an agent which produces or tends to produce motion in an object‚ stops or tends to stop ‚ motion of an object Newton’s 1st law of motion: If an object is at rest‚ will remain at rest until or unless an external force act on it. If an object is in motion ‚ it continues its motion until or unless an external force act on it Newton’s 1st law of motion is also called first law of inertia. Inertia: The tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion

Lab #1: Projectile Motion Purpose: To determine experimentally the initial and final velocities of an air powered projectile. Hypothesis: If the angle of the rocket is launched at 45 degrees than the distance and velocity will maximize. Materials: Rocket launching platform Rocket launcher Rocket body Air pump Safety goggles Rubber washer Nose cone 40‚ 45‚ 50‚ 55 and 60 angle wooden blocks Measuring wheel Procedure: 1. The rocket was assembled by the rocket launcher

Purpose. The purpose of this lab was to understand equilibrium. To do this‚ you must find the equilibrant of the resultant of three vectors‚ both mathematically and graphically and test the results. Procedure: A) Put the weights necessary for each of the vector forces on each hook. B) Set the wheels of the force table at the proper angles‚ including the calculated equilibrant. C) When placing the hooks on the wheels‚ be careful to hold the table in place so it does not flip over. D) To test

used in this experiment was the Archimedes ’ Principle. Archimedes ’ principle is named after Archimedes of Syracuse‚ who first discovered this law in 212 B.C‚ he stated that: “Any object‚ wholly or partially immersed in a fluid‚ is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.” It is stated in the principle that objects weigh more in air than they do in

The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its rotation. It must be very specific to the chosen axis of rotation. Also‚ it is specific to the mass and shape of the object‚ including the way that is mass is distributed in the object. Moment of inertia is usually quantified in kgm2. An object’s where the mass is concentrated very close to the center of axis of rotation will be easier to spin than an object of identical mass with the mass concentrated far from the axis

Results: Table of Content Objectives i) Tie the end of a thread to a hole in the end of a metal plate so that the length l of the pendulum is about 0.5m. Record the value of l. ii) Clamp the metal plate to the frame so that the plate protrudes horizontally from

increasing the height increases the energy stored in the ball and so when dropped‚ more of the energy would be converted to kinetic energy as a result of which the velocity at which the ball would strike the crater would be more and increasing the impact force of collision resulting in a deeper crater. * Variables- * Dependent- The depth of the crater. * Independent- The height at which the ball is dropped from. * Control- * Mass of ball * Type of clay used

variable represents the length of the string and the dependent variable represents the period of one oscillation. The control variable is the mass of the pendulum. In this lab our goal was to see if we can prove if the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2. The R2 in this lab is closed to 9.8 m/s2 . The formula that we used in this lab is T=2πLg and then we solved for g=L(T2π)2. HYPOTHESIS: The gravity will be 9.81 m/s2 at sea level due to the acceleration. PROCEDURE: Materials: stopwatch‚ meter
