my car. A vector that had to do with my mouse trap car is displacement which is a change in position of an object‚ which goes with my car sense it moves from one spot to another. More vectors that are incorporated into my car are velocity and acceleration. Distance is how far the car would go and displacement is the final point an object is at minus the initial point. If my car traveled 5.5 meters‚ but then rolled back 2.3 meters it would affect how far it went for the distance‚ and displacement

object being dropped from a certain height to Earth’s surface. In this experiment we tested the idea that no matter what the size‚ shape‚ color‚ etc. of the object if it would still experience the same constant acceleration throughout its fall (short distance). The constant downward acceleration it experiences is due to Earth’s gravitational force (g). We measure the position‚ and velocity of a ball to get the experimental g. We then measured reaction time with a ruler. We used our data and g‚ to get

ground with an acceleration of g m/s squared. In the lab a projectile launcher was used to project two steel balls‚ one in the horizontal direction and one in the vertical direction. The ball that was launched in the vertical direction was ball 1 and the ball that was launched in the horizontal direction was ball 2. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate projectile motion through the use of a vertical acceleration apparatus which shows the independence of vertical acceleration from the horizontal

It relates two vector quantities‚ force and acceleration. Both force and acceleration are vector quantities‚ important to understand that the acceleration of an object will always be in the same direction as the sum of forced to the object. An example would be if you use the same force to push a truck and push a car‚ the car will have more acceleration than the truck‚ because the car has less mass. It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than

and the extreme forces needed to land these airplanes and bring them to a halt will also be explored. Firstly‚ the formula F = ma‚ where F is force‚ m being mass and a meaning acceleration. This formula is used in the design stage of airplanes but in a different format‚ a = F/m. This meaning that for the acceleration to be greater F and m needs to be changed‚ this would result in the airplane reaching its top speed sooner. Designers meet these requirements not by using complex formulas but just

another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects‚ there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases‚ the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces onlyexist as a result of an interaction. Velocity‚ Acceleration‚ Momentum‚ and Impulse Velocity‚ in physics‚ is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction)‚ and is the time rate of change of position (of an object). However‚ quite often when you read ‘velocity’‚ what is meant is speed‚ the magnitude

hip joint is a ball and socket joint‚ which means it can move in all directions. The knee joint is a compound condylar synovial joint and allows for flexion and extension of the leg. In this experiment the angle‚ angular velocity‚ and the angular acceleration of the knee and hip were analyzed in oscillatory motion. In the first set of experiments‚ the independent oscillation of the hip and knee were isolated and observed. Then the oscillation of these joints was viewed in conjunction while a subject

truth to space -- that spatial differences are not dependent upon the matter contained within space. In his Principia‚ he states that the difference of relational and absolute space becomes manifest in the consideration of place‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. These considerations serve to metaphysically establish absolute space in themselves. However‚ Newton attempts to support the existence experimentally in his famous ’bucket experiment’. Through an explication of his reasoning and an analysis
