Year 11 Preliminary Physics Assessment Tasks Year 11 Preliminary Physics Assessment Tasks Research Report – Models of the Universe Research Report – Models of the Universe Date Due: Friday 31st Agust Weighting: 15% Abstract The Universe is where everything exists‚ matter and energy. There are two main models of the universe: the geocentric model and the heliocentric model. The geocentric model is where the Sun and other planets‚ moons and stars revolve around the Earth. The

Research Question How does spacing between dominoes affect the average velocity of the dominoes? Increasing space between each domino will decrease its velocity‚ decreasing the space will increase its velocity. Force at which it hits next dominoes is increased it will take longer for it hit‚ acceleration is constant‚ the longer it has to travel‚ the longer it will take to hit. According to Newton’s first law every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion

and planes. Wheelchair ramps are used to allow people in wheelchairs to get over vertical obstacles without exceeding their strength. Escalators and slanted conveyor belts are also forms of inclined plane. In a funicular or cable railway a railroad car is pulled up a steep inclined plane using cables. Inclined planes also allow heavy fragile objects‚ including humans‚ to be safely lowered down a vertical distance by using the normal force of the plane to reduce the gravitational force.

Physics Laboratory Report Sample PHY 223 Lab Report Newton’s Second Law Your Name: Partner’s Full Name(s): Date Performed: Date Due: Date submitted: Lab Section: (number) Instructor: (Name) Introduction We verified Newton’s Second Law for one-dimensional motion by timing an accelerated glider moving along a flat track. We varied both the accelerating force and the mass of the glider. We found that for a given force the acceleration of the glider was inversely proportional to the mass of the glider
