important. F=m(dv/dt)(Quote) F=ma Force = Mass x Acceleration (Newtons) With the use of this equation he proved that objects that are heavier fall at the same rate towards earth as objects that are lighter because the earth pulls them down with the same force. To put it in perspective a car and a feather would fall at the same universal rate of 9.8m/s^2 even though one is much heavier. Newton also figured out that the moon is held to the earth by the same force that pulls an apple off a tree…

Rube Goldberg Project For this Rube Goldberg project I am going to explain how my machine worked. My simple task was to pop a balloon. The item we used to pop the balloon was a mousetrap. I am going to go step by step through how I created my Rube Goldberg machine. First, we started out with a ramp that we dropped the ball on. That was our potential energy. Next, we had a ball drop down a tub at approximately 180°. That was mechanical energy. After that, the ball went through an elbow and…

novel Sula, Toni Morrison presents nature as an all controlling force over people in the Bottom by emphasizing the embodiment of nature in powerful characters, by depicting a sense of liberation in death, and by illustrating a lack of agency in the Bottom’s population. Morrison first suggests the pervasiveness of nature in the lives of people in the Bottom by creating parallels between powerful characters in the community and natural forces. With this humanized view of nature’s…

would look somewhat the same in relation to the basketball since this object was not affected as much as the lighter weight objects (Frisbee and coffee filter) in terms of air drag. The outcomes of all experiments conducted were substantially correct, as they properly evaluated the consequences of objects in respect to drag force. As stated above, the first experiment, the acceleration of a falling mini-basketball, I had trouble visualizing the experiment and thus my predictions were incorrect…

a constant speed.Your heart's pounding getting ready to fall past potential energy, then you fall 1,500 ft in the air going 128 mph down a snake like a path passed pointed…

Trajectory and applied force both have very much too do with our rocket lab. Trajectory affects how far the rocket will get beacuse trajectory is a curved path of an object that has been fired or thrown through the air. This affects the rocket beacuse the angle of the rocket that is launched at is part of trajectory and the rocket was launched off of an angled platform so this affetced how high the rocket went before coming down. Another part of trajectory is how gravity affects the objects…

will have no traction if not for the balloons being wrapped around them. With the wheels being CD’s they are thin and therefore more aerodynamic and will help the velocity and speed of the car. Then with the pens being hollowed out, it helps with the air and power from the mousetrap to flow through the pen which is attached to the wheels and helps the energy be sent to the wheels and thus, making the car move forward. When designing the car, we chose to use eye hooks because tape and glue would…

Bouncy balls bounce because the material of the ball is extremely elastic and can convert kinetic energy from falling into potential energy and back into kinetic energy again with little loss of momentum. They are used in many classrooms because they can easily demonstrate conservation of momentum through a highly elastic collision. Like many things made out of rubber, bouncy balls have very high elasticity, meaning they rapidly return to their resting state after being stretched or squashed. If…

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 acceleration. Secondly, the affect of friction. The presence of friction affected the motion of the object as it went down the ramp. Lastly, the imperfections of the…

by an outside force. This law applies to gymnastics when a gymnast is flipping through the air they will not stop flipping until they either hit the ground or change their body position. Newton's second law states that the net force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate (F=ma). Newton's second law applies to gymnastics because male gymnasts are usually more muscular than female gymnasts so the tend to have more mass. This means that they will have to apply more force than female…
