Newton’s 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The racecar demonstrates Newton’s 3rd law because the action that takes place in this project is the air blowing out through straw when the balloon is filled with air. The reaction that happens is the car moving forward. This is considered to be the reaction because it happens immediately after the action happens. The changes that I would make to enhance my racecar’s performance are to use another balloon to achieve the fastest acceleration and the
The faster the acceleration is, the less mass it is. Also physics concepts relates to mousetrap cars because in physics we learned that, in order for the mousetrap cars to move, it must have force acting upon it (ground) which pushes the car up. So both the force of the ground and the force of the mousetrap car must be equal in order for the vehicle to work go forward. Physics concepts relate to mousetrap cars because Newton’s laws are involved in these mousetrap cars. Newton’s first law states that, “everybody continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.” The mousetrap car relates to this because the mousetrap car does not move until the force of the mousetrap moves it.
Momentum will be discussed in a later unit. 4. Supposing you were in space in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion? A: Even in space objects have mass. And if they have mass, they have inertia.
Name Class Date Assessment Pretest Work and Energy 1. What is the difference between speed and velocity? ______ 2. Which of the following objects is not accelerating? a. the space shuttle as it is orbiting Earth b. a car turning a corner c. the space shuttle when it is being launched d. a bike moving in a straight line at a constant speed 3.
For collisions, the momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision e.g. snooker balls Momentum before collision EQUALS Momentum after collision p=mv p=0 p=0 p=mv Another example is cannon before being fired and after being fired. Before the cannon is fired the momentum is zero, after it is fired the cannon ball moves forward and the cannon moves back. The momentum of the cannon ball is the same as the momentum of the cannon moving backwards. In this sort of example you should choose one direction to be positive and the other direction to be negative.
Then a cylinder was placed after writing down the results(On a numerical table) of how far the block was pushed from the marked spot. This hypothesis was successful. Mass plays a big part during a collision , because the greater the object the greater the collision is going to be. Not only mass plays a large part ,efficiency does as well. How does speed effect collision?
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. The outer layer of your force field is hot plasma (hot gas of ion). Where are these ions when the force field is off and how long does it take to turn it back on? The middle layer is the group of laser beams. When the force field is off, do the laser beams stay outside the nanotube layer?
Use algebra to find the time measured by Person A with respect to how he or she perceives the time measured by person B. 4.Person A is flying through space with Person B exactly 186,000 miles behind. When Person A wants to accelerate, he or she uses a flashlight to signal person B. This means they accelerate together and remain exactly 186,000 miles apart. Person A waits exactly 1 second to allow the light to reach Person B before he or she accelerates, so they remain 186,000 miles apart from their perspective.
The further an object is from its axis of rotation, the further its linear speed. If the center of your back is the axis of rotation, the further your hold your stick out and whip it forward will cause the release of the ball to travel faster. The arms with the stick in hand act as a series of levers which propels the ball forward. Your feet causing friction with the ground allows you to twist your body and transfer the energy from linear momentum to rotational momentum. This allows your body to coil and transfer more kinetic energy into the shot.
Today there is really no danger that can be seen from the space, so our Governments aren’t startled or anything at all. Now what if… One day they saw an object that, without a doubt, was heading towards earth? What could the NASA do about it? While NASA doesn’t advocate the application of nukes to shoot asteroids out of the sky, they speculate it’s possible to send a rocket in space to sway the object’s trajectory off-course to avoid a
