TROLLEY ON RAILS Based on document MGS/ID137/203 by Dr MG Sainsbury Modified in Feb 2007 & Jan 2008 by Dr L Huang and Mr WS Sze 1. Objectives (1) To measure the velocity and acceleration of a trolley as it descends on inclined track and is stopped by a nonlinear elastic arrester system. (2) To compare the measured acceleration‚ velocity and displacement with theoretical predictions of various methods and discuss the physics learned. 2. Apparatus The test setup comprises a short inclined railway

(convertible to height) of 1000‚ 900‚ and 800 milliliters. Two trials were conducted for each matrix. From the data‚ it was observed that as the initial concentration of slurry is increased‚ the initial settling velocities decrease. The initial height has no effect on the initial settling velocity but can affect the rate at which solids compact. However‚ it was found that how the height affects compaction can be unpredictable. For the design of a thickener using batch sedimentation data‚ the required

If it enters with a speed of 450 m/s and emerges with a speed of 220 m/s‚ what is the bullet’s acceleration as it passes through the board? Answer: –550 km/s2 5. A particle confined to motion along the x axis moves with constant acceleration from x = 2.0 m to x = 8.0 m during a 2.5s time interval. The velocity of the particle

straightforward mathematical relationships. These mathematical relationships are a recurring concept in the fields of Kinematics and Dynamics which focuses on ways in which objects/matter move whilst evaluating behaviours like displacement‚ acceleration and velocity (Wise Geek‚ 03-13). Kinematics derives its name from the Greek word for “motion” (kinema) (Sparknotes‚ 2011). This field is centred under a sub branch of mechanics which deals with pure motion‚ without reference/implication to the forces and masses

GRAVITATION Kepler’s Laws Towards the end of the sixteenth century‚ Tycho Brahe collected a huge amount of data giving precise measurements of the position of planets. Johannes Kepler‚ after a detailed analysis of the measurements announced three laws in 1619. 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse which has the Sun at one of its foci. 2. Each planet moves in such a way that the (imaginary) line joining it to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The squares of the periods

A projectile is any object that is given an initial velocity and follows a path determined by the effects of gravitational acceleration and air resistance. Projectile motion is the act of projecting an object into the air at an angle when a curved path is an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the earth.For example: a thrown football‚ an object dropped from an airplane‚ or a bullet shot from a gun.Projectile motion may only be used to solve mechanics problems

After that‚ the accelerations were gained by calculating the slope of Velocity VS. Time graph. The accelerations and the relationship among them in every stage are gained from the graph. Prediction It was predicted that the acceleration would be a constant‚ as long as the angle‚ θ‚ between the track and the desk did not
