    Lab Conclusion When comparing the average speed results from part two of the lab and the definition of acceleration‚ you find similarities between the two. First‚ average speed is distance divided by time‚ and we use it to describe the motion of an object moving at changing speeds. We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum

    fall before landing on the ground with a parachute. As the skydiver falls‚ he or she encounters the force of air resistance. The amount of air resistance is dependent on two variables‚ speed and cross-sectional area. The speed of the skydiver accelerates downwards and gains speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity. Once the force of air resistance is as large as the force of gravity‚ a balance

     stopped‚ slowing down‚speeding up‚ and turning provide a sufficient vocabulary for describing the motion of objects. In physics‚ we use these words and many more. We will be expanding upon this vocabulary list with words such as distance‚ displacement‚speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. As we will soon see‚ these words are associated with mathematical quantities that have strict definitions. The mathematical quantities that are used to describe the motion of objects can be divided into two categories.

    Learning‚ Perception The advert begins with Prof. Ian Johnston narrating the following simulation comparing two identical cars travelling at different speeds and the rate of their respective braking speeds. One car was initially travelling at 65 km/h and the other car travelling at 60 km/h when a change in the road ahead appears ahead a truck blocking their path. The time between when the drivers initially react and the time they come in contact with the truck the car travelling at 65 km/h collides

    Results If ski wax can be applied by rubbing‚ pasting‚ spraying‚ or melting then the melt on wax should reduce friction the best because it coats the skis more evenly and creates a thicker protective barrier to the bases of the skis. Consequently‚ this hypothesis was correct because the data captured displayed that the hot wax reduces friction the best‚ see appendix seven‚ eight‚ and nine. Hot melt on wax had the fastest time when the ice disc was slid down the ski and had the highest velocity. It
