Jessica Yan Rick St. Denis, Tyler Wiseman 13 September 2012 Projectile Motion: Ball in the Bin Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the velocity of a ball launched from the Projectile Launcher device, and then to use that velocity to find where on the floor the ball will land given a specific angle. Theory: Two-dimensional motion is as it sounds, made of the two components of Vertical velocity and Horizontal Velocity. Horizontal Motion can be described as constant, neglecting air resistance, and Vertical Motion is characterized by the acceleration of gravity pulling at 9.8m/s². In this particular experiment, the total velocity will be split into the two components in order to find the time in the air, and horizontal distance from the launcher. The motion of these components can be described as d=vt for constant horizontal motion, and d=1/2at² + Vit.
Eng 2116 Engineer Egg Drop Paper Description: Using only a single piece of cardboard, scissors and masking tape, construct an egg carton that will allow an egg to fall 20 feet without breaking. Idea: 1) Cut the poster board in to 2 halves. 2) Use one half to construct a cone. The cone should be large enough that the egg will fit into the open end of the cone but will go no farther than half way down the cone. (See figure 1.1.)
Science Fair Project Summary-Egg Drop Experiment For my project I decided to conduct an egg drop experiment. I wanted to test free-fall, the downward movement of an object under only the force of gravity. In order to test this I designed two different models to place the egg in. One of which I knew would not work as a result of my research. The other I made to succeed.
Replace the ramp as in Figure 3.1. Figure 3.1: Equipment Setup Mark with pencil Photogate Use a plumb bob to determine the point directly below where the ball will leave the edge of the table after rolling down the ramp. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the table at the point where the ball leaves the table and record this value as dy. Ramp Ramp To measure the position where the ball will strike the floor after rolling down the ramp, tape a piece of plain paper onto the floor with a piece of carbon paper on top. The impact ® LED comes ON LED goes OFF Figure 3.2: Measuring Dd 9 Photogate Timers 012-06379A of the ball will leave a clear mark for measuring
Haocheng Zhen Aron Jouvenet John Cureg Date: 5/20/2014 Egg Drop Competition Lab Abstract: The Goal for the lab is to design and build a contraption that can protect 1 large Grade AA raw egg from breaking when it is dropped from the second floor balcony of the Pg Bldg at Citrus College. At the Day 1 we design the first contraption, and find the physics behind contraption. At the day 2, we test the prototype, and if the egg broke, we should adjust it. After the adjustment, we measure the mass, height of drop, and time in flight of the contraption. We did the calculation after we finished the measurement and adjustment.
* We kept the foam block (metal in the box) at the end of the ramp. On the jack(an equipment which is used to vary heights), the top of the ramp was placed on it. * The Light gates detector was placed at the finishing point of the ramp. * Like in method 1, the five different heights : 0.10m, 0.15m, 0.20m, 0.25m and 0.30m were taken. * The final speed was recorded by the light gate detector about three times for each height.
A ball was diameter was taken of the ball (in cm). The projectile launcher had to be leveled by the inclinometer. Afterwards, using the projectile ball, and the ram rod, the projectile had to be shot onto the clip board with the carbon paper attached to it. The geometric center of the trials was taken; this height was the initial height of the projectile. The launcher had to be relocated to an appropriate distance that will let the projectile strike the lower portion of the target.
Record the readings of the three instruments at eight different speed settings of the tunnel: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, & 50. 4. Plot two calibration curves with pressure transducer reading as the abscissa and micromanometer reading as the ordinate for the first, and micromanometer versus scannivalve as the second. Convert micromanometer data to read as total pressure in SI units [Pa]. 5.
Richtofen continued his teleporter tests with Schuster behind Maxis' back. Richtofen was the first human test subject and was first sent to the M.P.D., which he believed to be of alien origin. When he touched it, he felt static and started hearing whispering. He was then teleported to a jungle. Dr. Scheuster got worried and planned to scrap the teleporter when Richtofen had been gone for a few days, but he returned as Schuster was talking about it and told him that there was work to be done.
Every time the monkey in the tree would set off a firecracker Bert would perform the drill and duck completely in his shell. In January 1952, Duck and Cover was completed. This video was determined to help save the lives of innocent people ad to help them become more prepared. People did not know about all of the effects that the nuclear blast could occur. Radiation sickness and the blast that would demolish a whole city were not known.
