OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this experiment is to practice the addition of vectors graphically and analytically and to compare the results obtained by these two methods. APPARATUS: Cenco force table with pulleys. Metal ring‚ strings‚ weight hangers and weights. Rulers and protractors. The force table provides a means for applying known forces at one or more points and in various directions in the horizontal place. The forces are the tensions in strings which pass over pulleys attaches to the rim

Acceleration at the top of the page. Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around. When the ball is stopped there isn’t any changes in the placement of the ball. This means that there is zero velocity at that time. 2) Which color vector (arrow) represents velocity and which one represents acceleration? How can you tell? The green arrow represents velocity and the blue arrow represents

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/circmot/rcd.cfm What is ‘g force’ in physics? G‚ in physics‚ a symbol relating to gravity. A capital G indicates the gravitational constant‚ as explained in the article GRAVITATION. A lower-case g stands for the acceleration imparted by gravity at the earth’s surface. An acceleration of 1 g is 32. 1 feet per second per second (9.8 m/s2). Fliers and astronauts may experience accelerations many times larger than 1 g. These accelerations are usually expressed

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

Conclusion to Motion Lab Kerreon Wright 3rd Period Ms. Gislason The purpose of this Motion Lab was to find the acceleration of a steel marble going down a straight track six different times to figure out how an object’s mass affects acceleration. It doesn’t due to Newton’s second law of motion. There were six different accelerations for each trial and they are: 7.88 m/s squared‚ 6.78 m/s squared‚ 6.07 m/s squared‚ 5.57 m/s squared‚ 4.32 m/s squared‚ and 5.11 m/s squared. It’s possible

Lab Conclusion When comparing the average speed results from part two of the lab and the definition of acceleration‚ you find similarities between the two. First‚ average speed is distance divided by time‚ and we use it to describe the motion of an object moving at changing speeds. We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum
