practicalphysics.org/go/Experiment_480.html Pendulum Motion Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity by using a pendulum. Background Information: Equation One: T=2πlg Where T = the period of the pendulum (s). This is the time taken for the pendulum to return to its starting position. l = length of the pendulum g = the rate of acceleration due to gravity (ms-2) * In order to find the acceleration due to gravity‚ the equation must be rearranged to look like this‚ and give “g” as

The system’s task is to assist the driver in demanding driving situations‚ e.g. if a wild animal suddenly runs across path of vehicle‚ and also to compensate for overreaction on the part of the driver and to prevent loss of vehicle stability. However‚ ESP is not intended for speed manics to try and defy

due to gravity‚ g the acceleration due to gravity‚ G the Universal Gravitational Constant (6.67x10-11 N.m2/kg2)‚ m the mass and rthe distance between two objects. Then F = G m1 m2 / r2 Acceleration due to gravity outside the Earth It can be shown that the acceleration due to gravity outside of a spherical shell of uniform density is the same as it would be if the entire mass of the shell were to be concentrated at its center. Using this we can express the acceleration due to gravity (g’) at

subject only to the earth’s gravitational field. To prove the law of conservation of energy‚ the free fall motion of an object can be represented through 3 different analyses; position of the object vs. time‚ velocity of the object vs. time‚ and acceleration of the object vs. time. It is observed in this ball toss experiment‚ at any point during the free fall period‚ the system contains the same total amount of mechanical energy. This amount is the sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy

elevators. The mass is constant as if your not doing anything to change it. We feel heavy in a elevator because the accelerator is going up with an acceleration and not when it is going up with uniform speed. That is due to the force that we may experience from the floor of the elevator on our feet. Law of Acceleration - The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F acting on the body‚ is in the direction of the net force‚ and is inversely proportional

THE FORCE OF GRAVITY Topics covered in this lab: Gravitational force Newton’s Laws One of the topics we have discussed is acceleration‚ meaning that the velocity of the object being studied is changing. What causes something to accelerate? In this lab you will investigate the forces that affect the motion of objects. Materials Something to toss Procedure Toss an object straight up into the air and catch it as it falls back down. Carefully watch the object’s vertical position
