Projectile Motion Lab Trip How Long Acceleration
555 wordsIn physics MC 503, we are required to write a paper twice a semester summarizing the previous four to six labs. In this, the first paper, I am writing about the previous four labs. As each lab comes around each week I start to get excited. I know that the lab is going to help me understand or comprehend some form of formula I am learning in the chapters. As we do one lab and look back upon the previous. You may notice that the foregoing lab is a part of a current lab. Such as in acceleration due...

Sense Data Space Time
1,315 wordsOne night I saw a TV program, Einstein's Universe. I turned it on because it was narrated by Peter Ustinov, whom I admire, even though I'm tired of Einstein's universe. The program was well done. A great effort was made to make a clear and convincing dramatization of the universe according to Einstein; just enough mystique to sugar the dull sterility of science. What bothered me most was the subservient role of Peter Ustinov playing an average man who didn't know science, feeling privileged to b...

Cm M
1,324 wordsThe purpose of this lab was to find that gravity of Earth is indeed 9. 8 m / s /s (the The theory, according to Galileo, is that two objects have the same acceleration if dropped from the same height will land at the same time at the speed of 9. 8 m / s /s as long as there is no air resistance. To have an understanding Galileo's theory of acceleration, certain terms and equations must be known. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time interval which the change of vel...

Another consequence of Einstein's quantum research in this area was interest of the scientific community in quantum mechanics, a science Einstein would dismiss as too in deterministic. From these discoveries, Einstein was to receive a Nobel Prize. Einstein regarded his second paper of 1905 as relatively unimportant. In it, he calculated a way of determining the size of molecules and found a value for Avogadro's number. By ana...

Planets Revolve Copernican Theory
1,512 words... an accelerating automobile feel the force of the seat against their backs overcoming their inertia so as to increase their velocity. As the car decelerates, the passengers tend to continue in motion and lurch forward. If the car turns a corner, then a package on the car seat will slide across the seat as the inertia of the package causes it to continue moving in a straight line. Any body spinning on its axis, such as a flywheel, exhibits rotational inertia, a resistance to change of its rota...

Air Resistance Tyres And Friction
1,870 wordsDragsters use a combination of large wide tyres or the rear and small narrow tyres on the front this combination is used for the following reasons: The front wheels: The front wheels are very narrow. This is so a minimum of air resistance or drag affects the dragster with lower drag better acceleration an in turn a better top speed can be achieved all leading to a better pass (race time). Now lets try to understand the concept of air resistance and drag. A basic example is placing your hand out ...

Isaac Newton Positively Charged
1,757 wordsI read this book called, "The Cartoon Guide to Physics. " In this book the author explains how the law of physics work and the cartoonist gives a visual explanation which helped me understand how the equation works, since I'm a visual person. This paper is about a book titled "The Cartoon Guide to Physics. " This book explains complicated physics equations using cartoons. This approach helped me a great deal because I understand things better if I can picture them in my mind. This book was very ...

Kinetic Energy Net Force
1,017 wordsDurbin said "In order to accelerate, you need a net force. As soon as I let go of the bowling ball, it's accelerating. As soon as your fingers are out of the holes, the ball is at its highest point of acceleration. " According to the author, gravity is the net force acting upon an object, which means it is accelerating. The swinging of my arm (back the forward) being the net force. When my fingers leave the hole, it's accelerating. Now, how fast it goes is determined on how fast you swing your a...

Earthquake Loads Resistant Design Of Buildings
2,074 words... Spectra are developed by calculating the of response a single mass oscillator (usually with 5 % critical damping present) to the design level earthquake motion. Engineers traditionally have shown a preference for acceleration spectra, since the resulting coefficient, when multiplied by the seismic mass, results in the lateral base shear for the building. In Australia [ 7 ] and the Uniformed Building Code used in the western USA [ 9 ] these spectra are presented as a simple uniform coefficien...

Cycloids, Brachistochrones, and other Archaic Words Introduction: Everyone with a decent math background knows that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Intuitively, many would think that it would also be the path taken that took the shortest amount of time. We will show that the time that it takes ...

Air Resistance Large Amounts
1,602 wordsThe average driver doesn t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that s because they don t have to. The average driver doesn t have to worry about having enough down force to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and ...

Sir Isaac Newton Law Of Motion
968 wordsSir Isaac Newton- Newtons fascination for gravitation started was when he was sitting underneath an apple tree alone in the countryside observing the scenery. While he was sitting down, he noticed an apple fall from the tree, he was asking himself why the apple fell down, thats when he realised that the apple and its force pulls itself to earth. That little apple began his quest for the reason of gravitation. Galileo Galilei- Galileo was inspired when he observed the things around him like a swi...

1,768 wordsSir Isaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727), was an English mathematician and physicist, he is considered one of the greatest scientists in history, who made important contributions to many fields of science. His discoveries and theories laid the foundation for much of the progress in science since his time. Newton was one of the inventors of the branch of mathematics called calculus (the other was German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz). He also solved the mysteries of light and opt...

Force Of Gravity Roller Coaster
1,477 wordsIndividuals love to go to the amusement parks and try out the rides that are available. The most common and thrilling ride is the roller coaster. An amusement park is not an amusement park if it does not contain a roller coaster. What makes these roller coasters so fun that every amuse parks has one. A lot of people would say it is their extreme high speeds that makes it very exciting. That is a valid answer, but it is the wrong answer. The speed has nothing to do with the excitement. It is more...
