2.25A MUHSA Video "The Law of Falling Bodies" The answers are in red Questions: 1. The video introduces one of the "deepest mysteries in all of physics." The deepest mystery in all of physics is that in a vacuum all bodies fall with the same constant acceleration. 2. In the next sequence‚ we see a person diving from a board and a leaf falling from a tree. It is stated that the speed of a falling body increases as it falls. If the statement concerning falling bodies is true‚ then why does

Roller Coasters The main energy transfers that happens as a “car” travels along the track from the start of the ride to the end. 1. The main energy transfers are between gravitational potential energy (GPE) and kinetic energy (KE)‚ and the eventual decrease of mechanical energy as it transforms into thermal energy. Roller coasters often start as a chain and motor exercises a force on the car to lift it up to the top of a very tall hill. At this height‚ GPE is at its highest‚ as we can see

Aeronautical Science Perspective Paper Mauricio Manzano ASCI 202 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prof. Luis Reyes September 27‚ 2013 Aircraft Systems and Aircraft Maintenance Humans have many systems which work independently but at the same time they need to work together as the digestive system‚ neurological‚ cardiac‚ and etc.‚ that are very important for our survival. Within these systems there are other smaller systems that take care of the proper function of

Imagine what life would be like without gravity. Would it be fun or maybe the most horrible experience ever? Astronauts are forced to deal with these types of issues everyday. In the story ’Life Without Gravity‚’ astronauts are challenged to find solutions for problems faced in space. Despite all the problems‚ there are also positive outcomes of experiencing zero gravity. Weightlessness has advantages such as being fun and useful. There are also disadvantages such as changes in the body and nausea

“Life As We Knew It” by Susan Beth Pfeffer Danielle Graves What would I do? This is what I kept asking myself as I was reading “Life as We Knew It” by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The book follows Miranda and her family through their day-to-day struggles to survive the aftermath of a life-changing event. Astronomers miscalculate the density an asteroid that hits the moon‚ and it pushes the moon closer to Earth. The gravitational pull results in natural disasters that happen

The Lagrange point phenomenon exists in any system wherein the gravitational fields of two large bodies interact to create five “sweet spots”‚ within which lies the exact centripetal force necessary for a smaller object to remain in a constant orbit with the larger objects. There are five Lagrange points within the Sun-Earth orbit‚ as well as five Lagrange points within the Earth-Moon orbit. These points will vary according to the mass of the two larger objects‚ as well as the distance between

The biggest equation to come out of Einstein’s theory of special relativity is E = mc^2‚ which tells us how E‚ the energy‚ M‚ the mass‚ and C‚ the speed of light‚ are related to each other. This mass we are using is not the same as weight. An object’s mass is how much stuff is inside of it‚ while its weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it. This is why when you measure your weight in outer space‚ it is close to zero. Einstein’s theory states that‚ the speed of light becomes a sort of ultimate

Apollo 13 The movie Apollo 13 is a true story about a failure of a space mission to the moon. Before they end up getting to the moon‚ something goes wrong with the rocket ship. The quote “We just put Sir Isaac Newton in the driver’s seat” from the movie Apollo 13 is figure of speech. A figure of speech is an idiom‚ metaphor‚ or simile. In this case‚ the quote is an idiom. An idiom is a figure of speech that is meant not to be taken literally. It’s raining cats and dogs is an example of an idiom

FREE FALL AND CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY ABSTRACT Free fall is defined as the ideal falling motion of an object that is 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‚
