Company Todd Kutta and Scott Lambrecht were both friends as well as golf lovers. During play they both were facing identical issue of determining club selection and distance. In its simplest form, the GolfLogix product consisted of a customized, handheld GPS receiver, called an "xCaddie," that indicated the distance to the green to which a golfer was hitting. A golfer could record the exact location of his ball at the beginning and end of every shot as well as the club used to make that shot. The GPS receiver employed by GolfLogix was manufactured by Garmin International, a leading maker of GPS receivers for consumer and commercial use in the United States with over $350 million in sales.
This is done by using the conservation of momentum formula M_1 V_1=M_2 V_2 The mass of the club ×the velocity 〖ms〗^(-1) of the club or swing speed=The mass of the golf ball ×the velocity of the golf ball This has to be rearranged as we are trying to find the V_2the velocity of the golf ball after the contact with the driver, so our new equation is: (M_1 V_(1 ))/M_2 =V_2. The average driver club swing speed is 41.75354 ms-1 and the average mass of the driver is 200g this gives us values for M_1 〖and V〗_(1 ). The mass of an average golf ball is 46g this represents M_2 now we substitute our values into the equation to get the final velocity V_2. (M_1 V_(1 ))/M_2 =V_2 → (200g
If you're going in a specific direction, you will always go in that direction unless something happens to you. 2. “The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.” The second law shows that if you apply the same amount of force on two objects which have different masses, you will get different accelerations. The bigger the mass of an object, the less effect the force applied has on it.
While golf is typically pursued as a leisure-time activity, I, and countless others, have also used a friendly round of golf as a way to take the measure of our fellow golfers. Playing golf exposes all kinds of personality and character traits, and one’s behavior on the course is a useful predictor for one’s behavior in life. An
We used a vernier caliper to obtain the diameter of those two and therefore, the radius. When adding all the numbers together, we found that the true radius(r) of the orbit was 0.139 m. To find our tension, we needed to find out how much weight we needed to pull the object towards away from the spring and on the tip of the pointer as shown below. The tension needed to pull the mass on the tip of the pointer 1.05 kg. In theory the force of acceleration needed to pull the mass to same exact spot should equal the force of tension multiplied by the force due to gravity. Using Newton’s second law, F=ma, we know that the
The position of two wings should be relative to each other as if they were very close then the resultant force will be in opposite direction and thus cancel each other. Two wings produce more down force as the lift coefficient increases and the drag decreases. Table 1. Calculated value of Air Resistance Determination of Air Resistance Air resistance is the resistance offered by air to the movement of a vehicle. The air resistance has an influence on the performance, ride and stability of the vehicle and depends upon the size and shape of the body of the vehicle, its speed and the wind velocity.
Essential Questions: * How will the mass of an object affect the period of a single pendulum swing? * How will the length of the string affect the period of a single pendulum swing? Materials Needed: * String * Set of weights * Weight “bucket” * Tape * Stopwatch (or iPad) * Protractor Hypotheses: In your notebook make 2 hypotheses: 1. How do you think weight will affect the period of a pendulum? 2.
Golf Injuries Golf is one of the most popular sports in the world. More and more people become addicted to this sport every day. They are willing to spend much of their time on it. However, while a golfer is playing golf, what he may get from it is not only fun, but also golf injuries. There are many things could lead to golf injuries.
The objective of this investigation is therefore to establish a relationship between the length of a cantilever and its deflection in the aforementioned situation, which may give some insight into the physics of cantilevers. Variables The independent variable in this investigation is the length of the cantilever in meters. This will be varied by changing the length of the yardstick functioning as a cantilever that extends over the edge of a table. It will be measured indirectly by measuring the length of the portion of the yardstick not in use and subtracting that from the entire length of the yardstick. The dependent variable in this investigation is the deflection of the cantilever in meters.
Automatic lawnmowers are not currently on the market; therefore, Toro is offering a product that is both different and potentially desirable to consumers. One of Toro’s leading attributes is innovation. In working with customers, academic institutions and leading researchers, Toro’s Center for Advanced Turf Technology (CATT) has been influential in the area of robotics, hydrogen fuel cells, advanced battery technologies, precision irrigation and soil moisture sensing (Toro, 2013). With CATT’s advanced battery technologies, the group developed Toro's Greensmaster® eflex™ Lithium-ion. This battery allows consumers to mow their lawns more frequently without having to recharge the battery too often.
