Title: How does a moving cart rolling down a slope? Objectives: Adapt the traditional vertical and horizontal axes to a coordinate system aligned with a slope. Determine the acceleration of a cart that rolling down from a frictionless track (our assumption) by calculating theoretically and measuring experimentally. Compare the experimental and expected values of acceleration. Show that the acceleration of a cart moving down a slope (from frictionless track) is dependent on the angle of the slope

not disapear after a few hours‚ this may be a pressure sore and should not be ignored. If you think you have found pressure sores‚ contact your GP surgery as soon as possible and seek advice. As people age their skin becomes fragile. Quite moderate friction on the skin can over time cause pressure sores. When helping the person to move be careful not to drag them across the bed or chair. Also make sure there are no rough seams in their clothes or anything in their pockets that could rub. Check their

you are right - I just don’t know! 1. Tension‚ Weight‚ Friction: You are taking advantage of an early snow to go sledding. After a long afternoon of going up and down hills with your sled‚ you decide it is time to go home. You are thankful that you can pull your sled without climbing any more hills. As you are walking home‚ dragging the sled behind you by a rope fastened to the front of the sled‚ you wonder what the coefficient of friction of the snow on the sled is. You estimate that you are

PHYSICS 1 FAP0015 Questions & Answers to Physics I Assignments Chapter 1 11. What‚ roughly‚ is the percent uncertainty in the volume of a spherical beach ball whose radius is r = 2.86 ± 0.09 m? Answer: To find the approximate uncertainty in the volume‚ calculate the volume for the specified radius‚ the minimum radius‚ and the maximum radius. Subtract the extreme volumes. The uncertainty in the volume is then half this variation in volume. 3 Vspecified = 4 π rspecified = 4 π ( 2.86 m ) = 9

EFFECT OF SURFACE AREA ON AIR FRICTION Design Background Information: Air resistance‚ also called drag‚ is the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object through the air. Drag forces act opposite to the oncoming flow velocity. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance depends on the surface area‚ so‚ as the surface area increases‚ the air resistance increases. When an object is falling‚ air resistance acts to push it back up. This is

Disk With Weight: A 15 kg uniform disk of radius R = 0.25 m has a string wrapped around it‚ and a m = 3 kg weight is hanging on the string. The system of the weight and disk is released from rest. a) When the 3 kg weight is moving with a speed of 2.2 m/s‚ what is the kinetic energy of the entire system? KETOT = KEwheel+KEweight = (1/2)(I)(w2)+(1/2)(m*v2) =(0.5* v2)(m+1/2M) =0.5*(2.2^2)*(3+(.5*15)) J b) If the system started from rest‚

the force of gravity (acts in a downward direction)‚ the normal force (the support force exerted upon the object that is in contact with another stable object)‚ the force of movement (the force from the wheels-moment of an object) and the force of friction (the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across). According to Isaac Newton’s law of Universal Gravitation‚ objects near the surface of the earth accelerate at a rate of 9.8m/s/s towards the ground. The purpose of this investigation

to ride on. This is familiar to people who play air hockey‚ and it’s been used in lower speed transit before‚ such as the people mover in the Detroit Airport. The low pressure in the tube means that it doesn’t take a lot of power to overcome air friction and can be sustained by on board batteries (using numbers gleaned from their work with the Tesla S)‚ and the big power drain from acceleration is accommodated by Linear Induction Motors (many existing transit designs use LIMs‚ such as the Vancouver

SUMMARY OF FRICTION The maximum force of static friction that exists between two surfaces is proportional to the normal force and mostly independent of area of contact. This situation is shown here: N = the total normal force (force perpendicular to the horizontal surface) which is essentially the weight of the object. The coefficient in that equation is called the coeffecient of static friction and that depends on the material: When the object is actually moving‚ the friction is said to be kinetic
