We can relate physics to softball in many different ways. It is actually hard to not think about the game of softball without some physics in mind. Specifically‚ the ideas of momentum and energy helps define the way softball works and why it works. Momentum Running: When running the bases in softball‚ there is a lot more to it then the average person would think. While we run the bases‚ we are changing our momentum by applying more force‚ the force of friction‚ onto the ground which causes more

Investigation of the factors affecting the period of vibration of a weighted cantilever Introduction The aim of the experiment is to find out how the period T of vibration of a weighted cantilever depends on the vibrating length L. Hypothesis: Assume the relationship between the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is in accord with the equation: T=kLn‚ where k and n are both constant values. According to the hypothesis‚ the vibrating period T and vibrating length L is a linear relationship

Conclusion: Category 1: Momentum was found that after the collision was less than before the collision by 10%. This was not what has been expected‚ so the difference was fairly significant. This happened because of friction‚ when the two pucks collided‚ they have lost a bit of their momentum‚ so the momentum after the collision differed. Kinetic energy differed more than what was expected‚ it was significantly less after the collision‚ the difference before and after the collision was 63.7%‚

Floating Balloon Purpose : To demonstrate the principle of buoyancy of warm air. Additional information : The density variation between warm and cool air can be used to explain why warm air possesses higher buoyancy. As hot air contain atoms and molecules with higher kinetic energy than cold air‚ it has a lower density and rises up while the colder air goes downwards

1) Introduction This Lab is about conservation of momentum. It is to investigate the difference of momentum before and after collisions. Using the photo gates record the velocity of each cart‚ comparing momentum and kinetic energy to find the law. The experimental apparatus are two red carts in approximately same weight and a gold cart in lower weight than the red ones‚ a stable air track (blow a constant stream of air out through numerous tiny holes) with low friction and two photo gates. 2) Project

During an experiment‚ there was a glass eye dropper placed into a bottle filled to the brim with water with the cap closed. The glass eye dropper floated in the bottle when the bottle was left alone. When the bottle was squeezed‚ however‚ the glass dropper sunk to the bottom. When the pressure was released from the bottle‚ the dropper floated back to the top of the bottle. The dropper floated at the top of the bottle when no pressure was applied‚ because the air inside the dropper was less dense
