Acceleration

For this project, the first thing that my group and I did was research what needed to be known, such as: running techniques, diet plans, recommended stretches, appropriate running attire, and how velocity and acceleration help the runner in seeing how they can improve. After we gathered all of our research, we documented it and filed it until it was needed. The next step was the running. Materials needed for this portion are a stopwatch, a meter stick, calculator, and appropriate running gear.…

The sport known as badminton has its origins in ancient civilisations in Europe and Asia. The ancient game was known as battledore (bat or paddle). Shuttlecock was probably originated more than 2000 years ago in the 1600s, where it was just two people hitting a shuttlecock back and forth without it hitting the ground. In 1934, the International Badminton Federation was formed, with the initial countries, which included England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand…

The radius at the bottom of a clothoid loop is much larger than the radius at the top of the clothoid loop. The roller coaster experiences acceleration as it travels through a clothoid loop due to the change in direction. As the roller coaster goes up into the loop, the velocity decreases and as it goes down, it increases. A roller coaster loop was originally circular where the rider experiences…

forces, this shows that an object can only be moved as a result of an external force acting on it. The boat was designed according to Newton’s second law of motion. To create a greater acceleration rate, a carton of milk was used. The carton is very low in mass which allows for greater acceleration since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the…

imagine it without friction, so on some ice or somrhting). If you're travelling in a straight line, you keep moving along. But if you're in the middle of a curve and let go of the wheel, you careen off on a tangent. Right? First understand that acceleration means a change in velocity (think speeding up or slowing down). Now, keep the car metaphor in mind. if you hold the gas pedal down (the accelerator) this applies a force to move your car. If you hold the accelerator in the same place, your…

different sources. One is the string sliding over the pulley wheel. Another is the pulley wheel turning on its axle. Also, the string sliding through the hole; all these cause friction in our experiment. Glider on Frictionless Air Track Lab The acceleration of the glider can be calculated by tracking the speed as it passes through the two photogates. On the frictionless air track a glider is placed on one end of the model while a small weight weighing 50.0 grams dangles on the other end (both…

Biomechanics is the study of the body as a machine. This study of the body looks at the internal and external forces that act on the body and the movements that these forces produce. By grasping biomechanical concepts, it enables us to programme our bodies to correct technical errors, reduce injury, move our body with precision and understand the importance of equipment design. This can be used in all sports including volleyball. I will be analysing myself and how I compare to a professional…

If a tennis ball on a tower 225 miles high were dropped, what would its rate of acceleration towards the surface of the Earth be at the time it was dropped? Explain. The gravity is 90 percent at the altitude, so you would multiply the rate of acceleration (9.8 m/s/s) by the percent of the altitude. The acceleration towards the surface of the Earth would be 8.8 m/s/s. The rate of acceleration at which objects fall solely would at 9.8 m/s/s toward the Earth. The reason is because objects…

velocity of the car. 3. The distance from the third floor to the first is y initial and y final is zero, initial velocity is zero, and acceleration is -9.81 m/s. Using this information and the appropriate formula, time can be found. 4. The number calculated in part two is the velocity for both x initial and final, time is the number found in step three, acceleration is zero m/s, and x initial is zero m. Using this information and the appropriate formula the student should find x final. 5.…

indeed, this theory is ridiculous, perhaps even more than the idea of the towers falling at freefall acceleration. The freefalling towers theory is another idea that people have about nine eleven. And basically, the title pretty much explains itself: some believed the twin towers fell at freefall acceleration. But it’s wrong, because csicop.org claims, “truthers then insist that free fall acceleration indicates a complete lack of resistance(Thomas 1).” This shows the incorrectness of the theory,…
