Argument: Acceleration is caused by two factors‚ mass and force. The graph above shows the relationship between acceleration and force as proportional. As the force upon the car in the experiment increased‚ the acceleration of the car increased by a similar proportional. This complies with Isaac Newton’s second law of motion‚ the law of acceleration‚ which describes acceleration and force as two proportional measures in the equation F (force) = m(mass) x Ac(acceleration)‚ also described in

Abstract In this experiment Newton’s Second Law of Motion was measured with the use of the gravitational acceleration g on Earth by applying a free fall process. Objective The objective of this experiment is to validate Newton’s Second Law of motion. In experimenting the Law the measurement of acceleration of gravity was used by measuring the distance a dropped ball travels for a specific amount of time. Procedure First‚ measurements were taken of the distance from the stairway

this experiment was to (Using Matlab) determine the relationship between acceleration and applied force when the total system mass is held constant (Constant Mass)‚ and the relationship between acceleration and total mass when the applied force is held constant (Constant Force).

Duncan is the soul‚ Vinny the brains‚ and Wayne the muscle. At the end of the previous summer‚ Duncan tried to save a drowning girl and failed. Not being a hero has really affected his life‚ particularly his relationship with his girlfriend Kim. Also‚ he is now terrified of swimming‚ especially when the nightmares come back. Duncan’s

Kristen Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

This assignment entailed the task of investigation into the a) Conditions under which corrosion is accelerated‚ and b) Methods of preventing corrosion. Two experiments were implemented to answer these questions and hence reach a definate conclusion.First off let’s look at the background of corrosion and the way in which it occurs.The first hypothesis to answer was‚ ’What affect does water temperature have on the rate of corrosion of iron in sea water?’ The assumed answer was that ’ As temperature

Linear Kinematics. Fielding a backhand requires acceleration and deceleration. The fielder must accelerate towards the ball and decelerate when approaching the ball to field it. Acceleration occurs in the first three phases of the backhand and deceleration occurs in the critical phase‚ drive phase‚ when the fielder picks up the ball with their glove. Acceleration helps the athlete gain distance between the fielding positon and the ball. This allows the fielder to get their glove in front of the

garret.hebert@hindscc.edu Abstract: During this lab we will study what rotational Inertia is and how different shapes of masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences in the acceleration to determine how the ring and the disk resist rotational
