To analyse this further, we can observe Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s law describes how an object in motion, remains in motion. This is why the roller coaster continues going up the slope [1]. However, the KE is lost, as gravity takes effect and
Assisted by Frank, Julia, Hannah, and ______ Abstract In this lab, Thermal Energy is being determined once the car starts from the top of a track, to the bottom of the track. Once the car starts at the top it has Potential Energy which is due to the objects position. As the car slides down the track, it creates Kinetic Energy which is due to an objects motion. The purpose of the lab was to figure out the Thermal Energy as the car slid down the track. Data was lead to figure out the Thermal Energy is J.
This is force is 'action'. According to Newton's 3rd law, there should be an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction force will then work opposite of the air flow, meaning towards front of the car. This force will cause the car to move forward. So you see, Newton's 3rd law can explain your balloon powered car.
This allows the driver to increase the down force on the rear wheels while turning to increase traction. Additionally the wing is used to increase drag during braking. The wing is stabilized in the lateral direction with a link arm utilizing spherical rod ends at each end. While cornering the link arm failed, causing a tire to blow out. Stress Analysis An important factor to determine is how much stress the stabilizing link needs to withstand.
Experimental Procedure The procedures for this experiment were followed as outlined in the Physics 215 laboratory manual and background materials. The following items were used in the experiment: * TI-84 Calculator * Tape measure (meters) * 4- 1 kg weight * 4- 2 kg weight * Four Stopwatches * Ball drop apparatus * PASCO 750 computer interface * 2 meter ruler Data The class utilized an open window to drop eight 1kg and 2kg weights from an average height of 6.44m ± 1cm. Each drop was recorded by a stop watch from four students, and recorded on the data sheet. The next experiment to determine free fall utilized the PASCO 750 computer interface and ball drop
PK-S Lab 03 – Lab Report Name: ____________________ Section: ___________________ EXPERIMENT 3: Trigonometric Measurements Procedures: 1. Experimental measurement of the angles and sides of a right triangle: A. Create a triangle by taping a string against a wall and taping the bottom of the string to the floor or a table set against the wall. Make sure that the wall is perpendicular to the floor or table by measuring angle C, which should be 90o. B.
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
AS Physics Coursework: Quality of Measurement A Comparison of Methods of Measuring the Same Thing (Measuring ‘g’) Introduction For my physics coursework I am going to be doing “A comparison of methods of measuring the same thing”, the thing I will be measuring is gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls everything to the centre of the earth and its known value is 9.81 Newton’s. I will do this by dropping a ball over a set distance while measuring the time. And with these values I can use the SUVAT equations to find the acceleration due to gravity. And can then compare the result I get to the known value of gravity, 9.81N.
Determination of “g” by the Falling Ball Method We are going to conduct a test to determine the acceleration of a steel ball during free fall and then calculating the value of little “g” with the results of the test. This is a lab that will be conducted using a steel ball that is held in place by an electromagnet. When released the ball will pass between a light beam sensor starting the timer and then a second light beam sensor stopping the timer. The distance of the second light beam sensor will be increased after each successful measurement of time at the designated measurement. We will start at 0.1 meters and then increase the distance by 0.1 meters each successful measurement until we are no longer able to get acceptable measurements.
Projectile Lab Physics C Period 2b Purpose: The purpose of the projectile lab was to help students better understand projectile calculations and allow students to see if air resistance plays a role in the speed and distance the wooden balls flew. Back Ground Knowledge: -Horizontal Velocity has 0 acceleration -Initial velocity is equal to final velocity in the x-direction -acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 in the y-direction -Velocity is 0 at the highest point of the projectiles arc in the y-direction -important equations: - - - Hypothesis: When we compare actual velocity to our calculated velocity, the actual velocity will be smaller than that of the calculated due to air resistance putting a negative force on the wooden ball. Materials: PVC pipe, wooden ball, two photo gates, 2 ring stands, protractor, tape measure, carbon paper, paper, markers, tape, and a calculator with the physics program. Procedure: 1. First securely fasten the PVC pipe to 2 ring stands and then secure the two photo gates in front of the pipe in order to calculate actual velocity.
