Describing Motion with Words Scalars and Vectors Distance and Displacement Speed Velocity Acceleration Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects using words‚ diagrams‚ numbers‚ graphs‚ and equations. The goal of any study of kinematics is to develop sophisticated models which serve in describing (and ultimately‚ explaining) the motion of real-world objects. Much of our lives are spent in motion‚ travelling from one place to another. We measure motion by the rate

Simple Harmonic Motion Objective The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the different variables describing simple harmonic motion (SHM) using a spring-mass system in vertical oscillation. We measured the position and velocity of the spring-mass system under different conditions in order to extract parameters used to describe SHM such as amplitude‚ frequency‚ and phase. We tested whether the predicted behaviour based on our mathematical model of SHM was cohesive with the observed parameters

experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the horizontal shaft. We took the distance

order to absorb the impact of a head on collision‚ most of the time crumple zones are designed to be in the front part of a vehicle‚ they can also be found on the rear and sides of vehicles. Isaac Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless it is acted upon by unbalanced force. An example of this is if a car is moving at 60 km/h so are the bodies inside of the vehicle. But if this vehicle was to stop suddenly after colliding into a solid

Newtons third law of motion By: Crismaily Valdez Evaluate Newton Third law of motion work ● For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction. The Introduction in every interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal

Newton’s Three Laws Newton’s three laws of motion are laws or “rules” as to why objects move or don’t move they way they do. They tell us why things that move or at rest stay that way‚ or why the speed up‚ or simply what kind of things it takes to move objects. Newton’s three laws are very important because before he discovered these no one really knew why objects did what they did‚ they simply just did it. I care about these laws because I’ve learned so much that I never really understood nor knew

Ryan Grizzle Period 7 Mouse Trap Car Essay This purpose of this essay is to relate what I learned in first semester to my mouse trap car and its motion. My mouse trap car is made with paint stirring sticks as the body‚ and CD’s serve as the wheels. The back wheels‚ or CD’s‚ have a rubber balloon around them‚ and there is a string wrapped around them attached to the mouse trap in order to make it move. My mouse trap car is decorated very festive‚ in order for Christmas. I predict my car

Duffy Project title: Lab 3 projectiles / Tractive Force date submitted: 16/11/2013 Introduction: Part A This lab was based on projectile motion and it was to prove the theory that was covered in lecture 5 to be correct. When dealing with projectile motion‚ it is the theory that when an object has been fired from its starting point into the air‚ it will come under the influence of gravity and is attracted to ground with an acceleration of g m/s

(1M) Slowly increase the angle until the object slides down the runway. (1M) Slightly decrease and adjust the angle until the object slides down with a constant velocity(1M) when a light push is given. (1M) The motion of the object can be monitored by a ticker-tape timer or a motion sensor. (1M) Describe briefly an experimental method to find the speed of the block at a certain small time interval. The speed of the block can be measured by means of a ticker-tape timer. (1M) Time interval
