relative to you‚ the car you pass has an acceleration a to the west. However‚ the driver of the other car is maintaining a constant speed and direction relative to the road. Is the reference frame of your car an inertial one? If not‚ in which direction (east or west) is your car accelerating relative to the other car? Determine the Concept No. You are in a non-inertial frame that is accelerating to the east‚ opposite the other car’s apparent acceleration. 3 • [SSM] You are riding in a limousine that

Free Fall Methods Investigation Aim I am going to use three different methods in which I will find the value of gravity (g). Then I am going to compare all three methods to see which is the best. The three experiments will be - Pendulum - Spring - Electronic timer Background Research Free fall Is motion with no acceleration other than that provided by gravity‚ and no deceleration other than that caused by the aerodynamic drag of the object (hence the term also applies for moving

Duncan‚ Vinny‚ and Wayne are all friends working - or wasting time - the summer before senior year in high school. Duncan is the soul‚ Vinny the brains‚ and Wayne the muscle. At the end of the previous summer‚ Duncan tried to save a drowning girl and failed. Not being a hero has really affected his life‚ particularly his relationship with his girlfriend Kim. Also‚ he is now terrified of swimming‚ especially when the nightmares come back. Duncan’s summer job is with the public transit lost and

[pic] Exploration Guide: Uniform Circular Motion Names: ______________________________ ______________________________ Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory use their knowledge of circular motion when they launch spacecrafts. By timing the launch to take advantage of the circular motion of Earth rotating on its axis‚ scientists can control the speed with which the craft will travel around the Sun. If the spacecraft travels around the Sun at a slightly higher speed than Earth does‚ the

Scientific question: How does the incline of a slope influence the acceleration of a cart when it travels down a wooden plank? Introduction: What is an incline plane? Commonly referred to as a ramp or a slope‚ an incline plane is an even surface that is titled at an angle. An object placed on the tilted surface will often slide down the surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater

What is the direction of the acceleration vector for each of these situations? Remember that if an object speeds up‚ then the velocity and acceleration vectors are in the same direction. If an object slows down‚ then they are in opposite directions. Any object that is traveling in a vertical direction also experiences acceleration due to gravity. Left: Object travels to left and speeds up. Down: Object is tossed upward. A ball is tossed up into the air with a velocity of 50 m/s. The figure

Law of Acceleration (1907) by Henry Adams (1838-1918) Images are not arguments‚ rarely even lead to proof‚ but the mind craves them‚ and‚ of late more than ever‚ the keenest experimenters find twenty images better than one‚ especially if contradictory; since the human mind has already learned to deal in contradictions. The image needed here is that of a new center‚ or preponderating mass‚ artificially introduced on earth in the midst of a system of attractive forces that previously

Uniform linear acceleration Introduction This topic is about particles which move in a straight line and accelerate uniformly. Problems can vary enormously‚ so you have to have your wits about you. Problems can be broken down into three main categories: Constant uniform acceleration Time-speed graphs Problems involving two particles Constant uniform acceleration Remember what the following variables represent: t = the time ; a = the acceleration ; u = the initial speed ; v = the final
