Hypothesis: If a car is involved in a crash‚ a domino effect of reactions will occur. Background: The modern day automobile is a very complex piece of machinery that has a lot to do with the world of physics. Like every great invention‚ there was a beginning. For the automobile this beginning was in 1769. Nicolas Cugnot‚ a Frenchmen inventing for the French Army‚ came up with was first self-propelled‚ steam engined‚ three wheeled cart that was said to go as fast as walking speed. The next

the collision in terms of changing momentum‚ impulse‚ impact force‚ and impact time. All moving objects have a quantity of motion‚ otherwise known as momentum. Momentum of a moving object can be found by multiplying the mass of the object by the velocity. Because mass is measured in kilograms and velocity is measured in meters per second‚ the unit for momentum is kilogram meters per second. Similar to velocity‚ acceleration‚ and force‚ momentum is also described by its direction along with its quantity

physical abilities will be discussed in details. STRENGTH FACTORS: • DYNAMIC STRENGTH: The ability to exert muscular force repeatedly or continuously over time. Dynamic strength is to apply force repeatedly over a long time. It improves one’s endurance. For example: Doing exercise in the gym such as press-ups or cycling which will involve a lot of force that needs to be applied for a long time over and over. • TRUNK STRENGTH: The ability to exert muscle strength

Newtonian Absolute Space When Newton proposed his axioms describing fundamental laws of physics‚ he insisted on the necessity of absolute space to a completed theory of mechanics. Absolute space can be best described as not-relationally-dependent space. Newton purports that there is something more to space than just being a vessel to conceptualize positional differences between specific bodies; he claims that there is some objective truth to space -- that spatial differences are not dependent

urge to protect those who can’t help themselves. It is a doctrine that has been instilled in me ever since I was a child. When I was young‚ I was always captivated by the tales of my mom’s cousin‚ who was a pilot in the US Air Force. They had to go through extreme G-force training‚ and practice complex maneuvers while remaining in complete control of the plane. My family would also regularly go to air shows‚ and I was amazed at the power and complexity of the airplanes. I realized I wanted to fly

Physics Content with Answers 1. In the absence of air resistance‚ a ball of mass m is tossed upward to reach a height of 20 m. At the 10m position‚ half way up‚ the net force on the ball is A. 2mg. B. mg. C. mg/2. D. mg/4. B is correct‚ as a vector diagram would show. Other choices show carelessness or confusion between force and speed‚ and what constant acceleration means. 2. When you drop a ball it accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2. If you instead throw it downward‚ then its acceleration

A child is twirling a 0.0120-kg ball on a string in a horizontal circle whose radius is 0.100 m. The ball travels once around the circle in 0.500 s. (a) Determine the centripetal force acting on the ball. (b) If the speed is doubled‚ does the centripetal force double? If not‚ by what factor does the centripetal force increase? 4.
