    affected by displacement (the final difference in position), instantaneous initial velocity and instantaneous final velocity (the rate of change in position), acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) and time. Each of these variables are interrelated as one can be calculated as long as three others are known. Newton’s…

    Particle (steel and spherical particles) waterjet is a new type of waterjet that can effectively break rock and other materials. In this study, simulation combined with experimental method was conducted to optimize the jet parameters (i. e., velocity, water pressure, impact time, concentration, diameter, and standoff distance) for modeling the rock breaking performance of a particle waterjet. In particular, the changes in the rock and particle properties after the impact were analyzed based on…

    The position and velocity data for several oscillations was recorded A smaller amplitude oscillation was used and the amplitude and velocity data recorded until the amplitude decreased to half of its initial value. The position of the mass and the hanger was changed and the last step was repeated once more. The mass of the spring…

    Paper Bullets Experiment: Data Analysis The scientific question that was investigated by the paper bullets experiment asked, “Does the width of a paper bullet affect the distance it travels when it is launched?” The hypothesis that goes along with that question is, “If a paper bullet has a larger width, then it will travel a shorter distance than a standard paper bullet with a width of 4cm.” Variables in this experiment included independent variable (width of the starting piece of paper used to…

    We can easily convert this into Cartesian form by replacing z by x+iy |(x+iy)-(-3 +2i)|=5 |(x+3) + i(y-2)|=5 √(〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2 ) =5 or 〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2=25 Which is the exact form of a Cartesian equation of a circle with a center of (-3, 2) and a radius of 5 We could check if a particular point lies on the circle Ex. z2=1-3i Substituting into the equation of the circle, with z replaced by z2=1-3i |(1-3i) - (-3 + 2i)|=5 |4-5i|=5 √(4^2+〖(-5)〗^2 ) =5 41=5, which is not true, thus z2 does not…

    Finding values like these can help create a space shuttle simulation for future launches. We can use these values along with the mass, velocity, time, etc. to create something that will help us create safer launches for future operations. From this example, you can see that there is calculus out there in the world in everything you may do, whether it is as complex as a space shuttle being…

    What does the slope of a V vs T graph tell you? How do you know? The slope of the velocity versus time graph shows how as time passes, the velocity either increases or decrease or stays the same. This would also be called the acceleration of the object, which makes sense, given that slope is the delta y (velocity, cm/s) divided by delta…

    spark timer, the timer was turned and the car was pulled back and then released. In a perfect world, a distance-time graph of this perfect constant acceleration would have a curved line that gets steeper as time increases. On the other hand, the velocity-time graph would be a straight line with a…

    Graphs of Position, Velocity and Acceleration The use of graphs is very common in science, statistics, economic and etc; in physics the graphs are use to illustrate and compare quantitative data of motion, time, velocity, etc. The graph illustrates the trend accurately, also the trend can be use to predict future outcomes. Graphs are a useful tool to have a efficient description in less words. The Graphs of Position Graphs of position are a way to represent motion of an object or…
