Appendix 5 26 Appendix 6 28 Appendix 7 30 Appendix 8 31 Appendix 9 33 Appendix 10 35 Background Information Sport relies on three major physics concepts: force‚ acceleration and velocity; many of which involve elastic propulsion and/or projectile motion. Various types of sporting equipment are constructed with springs and elastics‚ in order to absorb a force or apply a force to another object. In the context of this investigation‚ the spring is utilised to propel an object. According to

LivePhoto Physics Activity 12 Name: __________________________ Date: __________________10/22/14_________ Projectile Motion Vectors There are multiple ways to represent an object’s motion. If the motion is two-dimensional and lies in a plane‚ some representations include: (1) recording x and y coordinates of the object at different times in a data table; (2) displaying the object’s x and y locations at regular time intervals on a diagram; (3) drawing vectors showing displacement‚ velocity

Chris Crouse‚ Juan Agosto‚ Bianca Butler‚ Hunter Zaun Feb. 12‚ 2013 Mrs. Rarig Physics Projectile Range Versus Angle Intro: First off‚ what projectile motion is motion in two dimensions in both X & Y directions. The only force on the projectile is gravity. With gravity being a presence and a factor in our everyday lives and in this experiment‚ gravity will push down on the projectile forcing it back down to the ground. For example if someone shot a cannon straight and there was no gravity

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

watch the professor perform this experiment. The equipment used in this experiment was a projectile launcher (ME-6800)‚ a drop shoot accessory (ME-9859)‚ one photogate (ME-9204A)‚ white paper‚ carbon paper‚ two time-of-flight timing pad (ME-6810)‚ two balls (ball 1 and ball 2)‚ and an interface computer. Ball 1 is dropped from rest (free fall)‚ and ball 2 is simultaneously projected horizontally (projectile motion); successive positions of these two balls are separated by equal time intervals. At

Paul Abidogun‚ Dexter Aguado Block ½ September 22‚ 2014 Ballistic Pendulum Lab Objective: Determine the velocity of the projectile as it reaches the pendulum. Hypothesis: Firstly‚ we guess that the outcome of the velocity of the projectile is 6.3 meters per second [left].The formulas we use to find the final velocity of the projectile are Trigonometry‚ Kinetic and Potential Energy‚ and Momentum. Mass of the pendulum = 80.0g Mass of the ball = 7.64g Length of the string = 21cm

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Guns are a simple idea‚ and work all the better because of it. To put it simply‚ gasses push a projectile out of a barrel. The gun hasn’t changed much since it was created in china centuries ago. Other than looks it has kept the same principle elements‚ the primer‚ the propellant‚ and the projectile (Leghorn). A primer is a small explosive that occurs when the trigger is pulled to light the propellant. Despite what many people think‚ the propellant doesn’t explode‚ it burns. It burns very quickly

height of a horizontally launched projectile affects the projectiles range. 2.0 Theory: Galileo showed an appreciation for the proper relationship between mathematics‚ theoretical physics‚ and experimental physics. Galileo discovered that a parabola was the theoretically ideal trajectory of an accelerated projectile in the absence of friction and other disturbances. Galileo agreed that there are limits to the validity of this theory and noted that a projectile trajectory which was close to the

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that
