Constant Acceleration‚ Velocity and Displacement On A Downward Ramp 3/3/2014 Purpose: To determine the velocity and acceleration of an object at different positions going down a ramp at four different angles. Hypothesis: If an object is accelerating at different angles then the larger angles will always have the largest acceleration. Materials: Ramp Miniature car Ticker Machine Masking tape Ticker tape Carbon paper Power supply Ruler Procedure: 1. A ramp

measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion with constant acceleration. THEORY For a given initial velocity‚ v0 ‚ and initial position‚ s0 ‚the position of a particle‚ s‚ as a function of time‚ undergoing constant acceleration‚ a is given by sr = sr 0 + vr 0 t + 12 ar t 2 ( 1 ) This is a vector equation and can be broken up

Physics C-110 Module 1 Chapter 1 1. What is science? Science is a body of knowledge that is ever changing. It is made up of not only facts but also theories that are made up of well-tested hypotheses. 2. Distinguish among the scientific fact‚ hypothesis‚ law and theory As stated above‚ a theory is made up of well-tested hypotheses‚ which in themselves are well educated guesses yet to be proven. A fact is something that can change over time even though it was agreed upon by knowledgeable

C1. A room in a house has a floor area of 120 ft2. Which of the following is most likely the approximate volume of the room? b. 30 m3 C2. When SI units are plugged into an equation‚ it is found that the units balance. Which of the following can we expect to be true for this equation? a. The equation will be dimensionally correct. C3. How long has it been that scientists have accepted that the nucleus of the atom consists of neutrons and protons? Think of your answers in terms of order

these two components of motion can be discussed separately. The goal of this part of the lesson is to discuss the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion; specific attention will be given to the presence/absence of forces‚ accelerations‚ and velocity. A basketball being thrown up to hoop fits. When shooting‚ ball follows the same direction as a projectile in motion. Doing free throw is a projectile. It is related to a projectile as the force exerted upon the basketball is

opens‚ click on ‘Show Both’ for Velocity and Acceleration at the top of the page. Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around. When the ball is stopped there isn’t any changes in the placement of the ball. This means that there is zero velocity at that time. 2) Which color vector (arrow) represents velocity and which one represents acceleration? How can you tell? The green arrow represents

| Vectors cannot be added‚ subtracted and multiplied following simple arithmetic laws. Arithmetic division of vectors is not possible at all. | Example: mass‚ volume‚ time‚ distance‚ speed‚ work‚ temperature | Example: displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ force | Distance and displacement Distance is defined as the ground covered by a moving object during its motion. Its SI unit is metre (m). It has only magnitude‚ but no direction. Distance can never be negative. The minimum value of distance

Point - a point against which position is measured. B: Vector Quantity - a physical measurement that contains directional information. C: Scalar Quantity - a physical measurement that does not contain directional information. D: Acceleration - the time rate of change of an objects velocity. E: Free Fall - the motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity. 2. No. Motion depends on the reference point that is used. 3. That depends on the
