Science Newton’s 3 Laws Paper Newton’s 1st Law: Newton’s 1st is an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. This law applies to my balloon powered racecar because when we release the straw, it allows the air to escape through the straw making the object (racecar) move forward. The object will then keep going forward unless acted upon by an outside force. The outside force would be for example, a rock that flips the racecar over. This is considered an outside force because the rock stops the car from staying in motion by flipping it over.
Then Kaku states that force fields can do more than deflecting laser beams because it can levitate objects by the use of magnetic force fields. To support that, he explains that when we place two magnets opposite to each other, the two magnets will repel each other. However he wrote that making force fields and to levitate heavy objects is nearly impossible since we lack advanced technology. For my response, Kaku doesn’t completely explain everything. Suppose that you have a structure on a planet or a spaceship in the middle of nowhere, and suppose you don't want the force field on all the time either because there are times when protection isn't needed.
Answer the following questions: 1. Compare Aristotle's concept of inertia with the ideas of Galileo and Newton. In making your comparison, state the concept as each interpreted it (in your own words) and give the similarities and differences. Aristotle believed that the laws governing the motion of the heavens were a different set of laws than those that governed motion on the earth. As we have seen, Galileo's concept of inertia was quite contrary to Aristotle's ideas of motion: in Galileo's dynamics the arrow (with very small frictional forces) continued to fly through the air because of the law of inertia, while a block of wood on a table stopped sliding once the applied force was removed because of frictional forces that Aristotle had failed to analyze correctly.
Your balloon powered car demonstrates Newton's 3rd law of motion. Newton's third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When the air from the balloon goes through the straw, it carries a force. The direction of this force is in the direction of the flow of the air, in your case, to the back of the car. This is force is 'action'.
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.
Module 3: Natural Forces Affecting the Driver Vocabulary: Please define six (6) of the following terms in your own words. Please do not just copy and paste the definition. 1. Gravity - The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
G. TRUE or FALSE: The acceleration of a particle following a space curve lies in the normal plane. 2) Sketch the curve with the given vector equation, starting at t=0 . Indicate with an arrow the direction in which t increases. Be sure to include a few points to justify your graph. 8pts r(t) = cos t, sin t, sin
When all three are combined and shaped into a ball, it is supposed to be solid, rubbery and bouncy. The ball is also supposed to be resistant to extreme environmental conditions, including heat, cold, aridity and humidity. Methods First measure out the following samples: Table 1: Each mixture has varying amounts of chemicals. Then mix them together in a beaker and form the mixture into a ball. Then test the ball by bouncing it on the table; observe its properties and record the results.
4- We measured the rockets range using a measuring tape. 5- Record the rockets range on the “varying wing size “ complete the data sheet, including calculating the average range for each wing size. 6- Analyze the data generated from the launches and write a conclusion explaning how the difference in wing size affects the rocket that achieved the greatest range. Data table – Size ~ Wingspan ~ Launch Rocket A- Small ~ 2mm ~ 533 Rocket B- Medium ~ 4mm ~ 376 Rocket C- Large ~ 5mm ~
Newton’s Second Law 3/6/2014 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the acceleration of gravity using Newton’s second law. Equipment * Air track, used to place other equipment on to test. * Cart, used as the bigger mass in the experiment. * String, attached to the bigger and smaller masses. * Paper clip, used as a hanger for the smaller mass.
