Lily Li____ Class: A__ Teacher: ___Mrs Slater___ Purpose: To determine the period and the frequency of a ticker timer. Materials/Apparatus: One ticker timer One carbon paper disc One 1.5+ meter tape One test tape One stop-watch Theory: The recording timer is a device that helps you study motion‚ it is a simple electric device plugged into mains power‚ with a stylus that vibrates up and down. The stylus hits a tape that can be drawn through leads‚ and presses

Title Projectile Motion Abstract A projectile was fired from atop an elevation and an angle. The initial velocity for each firing was likely to be the same. The distance traveled in the horizontal direction was measured for multiple firings of each trial‚ and the values were averaged. When the initial velocity for each of these averages was calculated it was proved that the initial velocity was relatively constant. These measurements had many possible sources of error including air resistance and

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would

= m x g x h supports the fact that as height increases (keeping the mass constant) the energy stored‚ that is‚ the potential energy increases. So when the ball is released the energy stored inside the ball would get converted to kinetic energy of motion which collides with the clay slab resulting in a crater. Thus 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

Alexander‚ Allison Stenko Interpretations: 1. The time required for the objects with different masses to fall equal distances was equal. 2. The average speed of the two different masses was quite similar‚ within one tenth of a second of each other. 3. Yes‚ because physics theory says that objects free falling‚ where the only force acting on them is gravity‚ accelerate at the same rate no matter what their mass is. 4. The change in spacing of the dots tells us that the speed of the object
