Acceleration

The definition of an accelerant is a substance that accelerates the speed of fire or makes a fire more intense (Accelerant | Define Accelerant at Dictionary.com, n.d.). When forensic laboratories have debris that was collected from a crime scene they can use either the Headspace or the Vapor Concentration techniques to determine if there was an accelerant used. Both techniques use Gas Chromatography, which is separating mixtures based on their distribution between a stationary liquid phase and…

The purpose of this lab was to find the acceleration of a toy car and create graphs to display this acceleration. These graphs will then be compared to graphs of what is expected for perfect constant acceleration. In order to find the acceleration of the toy car, a strip of ticker tape was attached to one of those toy cars that you pull back and move once your hand releases the car. After attaching the ticker tape and feeding the tape through the spark timer, the timer was turned and the car…

it will experience centripetal acceleration and there must be an external force causing centripetal acceleration. As shown in the diagram, the only thing in contact with the car is the road, which is between the tyres of the vehicle and the surface of the road. Therefore, we can know that the frictional force exerted between the tyres and the road directed to the centre of the arc of which the car is travelling, is the causative force for centripetal acceleration. F= Frictional force between…

Angular Acceleration is described as the rate of change of angular velocity, it is also recognized as rotational acceleration. According to the author the magnitudes and lengths of angular acceleration vectors are proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish…

Abstract The value for the acceleration of gravity was measured in this report through the investigation using three different methods, each varying in accuracy, to calculate the period of a pendulum. The period was measured by repeatedly timing the time it took for the pendulum to return to its original position once it was swung from a certain point (for the first method one oscillation was timed, however in the second and third ten oscillations were timed and the overall time was divided by…

This book is named “Acceleration” and is written by Graham McNamee. In this book a young teen named Duncan is required to do his community hours because he was charged for stealing a toilet and instead of going to jail, his father bailed him out. During his boring adventures for the TTC lost and found, he finds a mysterious leather book that was written by an anonymous person. The lesson that Duncan learns is that he forgets his fear of saving a little girl named Maya. The ways he tries to…

centripetal acceleration of an object undergoing uniform motion. The results show centripetal acceleration is affected by radius and velocity but not mass. It gives a better understanding to why objects in uniform motion accelerate towards the centre of a circle. Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine how the radius, mass and speed of an object can affect the centripetal acceleration of the object in uniform motion. Some concepts used to understand this lab are: 1. Acceleration…

My main reason for applying for an acceleration subject is to both challenge and improve my technique. Applying for an acceleration subject will help benefit and further advance my knowledge in the field of The Arts. I am also applying for this acceleration to further enhance my terminology as this will allow me to take on Art as a subject in the close future. This experience will help me learn and grow as a person as well as make me able to deal with time consuming, stressful situations. 4.…

of Academy of Acceleration is to equip students with the tools that needed to be successful in the classroom, community and in their by providing enrichment opportunities in the area of reading and writing. Mission At Academy of Acceleration, we believe that student learning is the chief priority and all students can learn to their fullest potential. The Academy of Acceleration Community will work collaboratively to ensure all students that will be successful. Academy of Acceleration will place…

The skill I selected is acceleration because it determines how quickly the runner can reach its full. The ways APC is improving my acceleration is by power clean, and glute hamstring raises because it mostly focuses on the lower body. Power clean shows it importance by performing with a fairly high amount of weight while accelerating rapidly. This quote helps supports my evidence, “In a meta-analysis, Wilson et al. reported a significant interference effect of simultaneous AE and RT. Large…
