Terminal velocity

Customer Trust/Satisfaction A mobile POS system will eliminate the tiring process of having to refer back to a stationary terminal to continually update inventory counts as they are tallied by hand or eye, then written down and logged for referral. An employee can use a mobile POS terminal with inventory reports to check the stock, then make any necessary changes right on the terminal, streamlining the process. This also eliminates fatigue, which can raise the likelihood of human error.…

The Memorial Union Bus Terminal From A Social Context Approach During these eleven weeks in LDA 01, we have discussed several approaches to the discipline of environmental design. Some, but not all of these approaches are the social context, ecological, participatory, artistic, and the cultural competency approach. For this project in specific, I decided to analyze a site using the social context approach. For me, this approach is the most interesting and crucial when planning a project. The…

Report: Uniform Motion Table of Contents Background Information 1 Research Question 1 Hypothesis 1 Variables 1 Materials 2 Procedure 3 Background Information Motion is the change of position of an object with respect to time. The physical quantities velocity, acceleration, displacement, time and speed are used in the study of motion. If an object does not change position with respect to time, it is considered as stationary. Note that if an object is motionless, it does not necessarily mean that…

In the chapter Kinematics of Particles, we studied about various relations among time, position, velocity and acceleration of a particle. When we have a relation between any two parameters, we can calculate remaining parameters. In Kinetics of Particles, we applied Newton’s second law of motion ƩF = ma. The fundamental concept is when external forces acting on a particle are balanced (zero resultant), the particle will be in equilibrium. But when external forces acting on a particle are not…

By finding the area underneath the velocity versus time graph and by adding up all the displacement intervals gave values near each other. This means that there are two ways to calculate displacement using a velocity versus time graph. Experimental Uncertanties There were several experimental uncertanties accountered in the accelerated motion lab. Firstly, the presence of air resistance. As the object traveled down the ramp increasing its velocity, air resistance increased which affected the…

measurements to figure out the uncertainty of the time measured, the final velocity and acceleration of the car on the ramp. The initial velocity was zero since the car started at rest. We then calculated our downward acceleration to get our measured acceleration due to gravity. Then we determined the percent difference between our measured value and the actual value of gravitational velocity. After that, we predicted the velocity that would come from the cart travelling a further distance with…

Human walking has been studied extensively with the assumption of steady-state gait. However, we rarely walk under steady-state conditions. Acceleration and deceleration, obstacle negotiation, disturbance rejection and turning are all examples of behavior that require modulation of walking speed which is in turn driven by transient changes in muscle activations. A few studies in recent years have explored characteristics of transient walking [1], [2], [3]. It has been suggested that control of…

weighted hanger placed on the pulley system Set up the Vernier motion detector under the hanger to appropriately measure its acceleration Hold the cart in place until the motion detector has started tracking Release the cart and use the measured velocity of the cart to graph the acceleration as a function of time Select the appropriate area of the graph and measure the slope Record the value and repeat steps 4-6 four more times and average the data to ensure a more accurate result Determine the…

Title: 2-D Kinematics Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine and relate the distance of a nerf-gun with a dart shooting out of it at an angle of 45 degrees. In addition, find the displacement and average acceleration of the dart as it shoot out of the nerf-gun. Hypothesis: If the dart is shooting out of the nerf-gun with choosing a small angle, then the distance will become larger, because if shooting at a right angle the dart is going to go straight up and then fall, but…

Doris speed began faster, Frank gained speed and passed her and thus seemed to be the winner of the race. After looking more closely at the problem I discovered this was not quite the case. I first sketched Frank and Doris given values onto the one Velocity-Time graph. Originally looking at this graph, it looks as if Frank passes Doris at 10 seconds, because that is when his speed becomes greater than Doris’s speed. This was not true. Sure, Frank’s speed was now faster than Doris, but it did not…
