    Angular Momentum

    • 847 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Angular velocity, with the addition of a product’s moment of inertia is what creates an angular momentum quantity (Bi 2014). Moving objects keep a constant velocity, however, if acted on by outside forces this would not occur. Say a moving object like, the planet Saturn keeps this constant speed, it thus keeps a constant momentum, since the system is conserved. This conserved system of the planet Saturn would be referred to as angular momentum, since Saturn rotates about an axis. Saturn is also known for it’s massive thunderstorms, which have created angular momentum changes to suppress the planet to cyclones. Saturn’s changing of angular momentum, comes from uprising thunderstorms, beta-drifting and it does not necessarily always have to produce cyclones. Now these cyclones on Saturn are not produced how…

    Essay On Figure Skating

    knowledge of the relationship between body coordinates and movements/positions of figure skating. I will be investigating the relationship between the body’s initial and interim positions and the outcome of a figure skater’s trajectory during a jump as well as a figure skater’s angular momentum during counterclockwise rotational spins. A figure skater is trained to use a double axel, a jump with forward takeoff, with a split jump to create a parabolic leap in the air. A double axel contains…

    The flips involves the jumper to first create a rotational motion around their centre of mass. This is done to create angular momentum which ensures the spin occurs and must have a net force greater than zero. The angular momentum occurs around the centre of mass for the dive, which is often around the belly button region on the body in a tight ball. Angular momentum is the product of angular velocity and rotational inertia. The momentum remains the same throughout the dive, however for the…

    Experiment Lost Momentum

    • 6 Pages

    The graphs above demonstrate that there is a value, but theoretically this value should be zero. As demonstrated in Table 1, every trial lost momentum. As the formula for momentum is and the mass remained constant, the velocity must be the responsible factor. Additionally, the only the magnitude of is necessary to observe adherence to the conservation law. The conservation law states that should be equal to zero, and as this wasn’t observed in any trial, it can be said that the…

    My Slapshot In Hockey

    • 285 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Last Thursday, I had a hockey practice, and before anyone else came on the ice, my brother Michael and I were just shooting around. To see how fast my slapshot is, I had him stand at the other end of the ice, and using his phone, see how long it took for my shot to go from one goal line to the other, exactly 60.96 meters. Keeping the puck on the ice the whole time during my shot, changing just the position of the puck, my slapshot took 4 seconds to cross the far goal line, making my slapshot…

    every crevice imaginable to add even more absorption power to the device. In its final state, the device comprises itself of a Gatorade bottle with an inner chamber, cotton balls in the inner chamber and all around the exterior of the bottle, rice in between the inner and outer chamber of the Gatorade bottle, and pool noodles around the outside. Upon the device’s drop at seventy-five feet, the conclusion that the device would not work unmasks itself. Once my group discovers that the device…

    The first concept to go over here is kinetic energy and conservation of momentum. We know that when something is in motion, it has kinetic energy. This kinetic energy from the ball and bat collide, and for a moment (like the picture) the kinetic energy becomes potentially energy, and then back to kinetic energy in the opposite direction the ball was originally going. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum of both the bat and the ball have to be the same…

    Table of Contents Introduction 2 Method 3 Results 4 Discussion 6 Conclusion 7 Plagiarism Report 6 Introduction The law of Conservation of Momentum states that the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant. This law is based on Newton’s third law (If body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an equal force but opposite force on body A). Thus when objects collide or explode apart, equal forces are exerted on the objects but in the opposite direction. The time of…

    principle of conservation of momentum. Despite the somewhat imposing name, this principle is actually quite intuitive in nature. To understand this principle, I utilize an example from my own life: duck hunting. While some may consider it a rather barbaric pastime, I rather enjoy the thrill of venturing into a marsh in the early hours of the morning and I love the satisfaction of dressing and cooking a prize. You know immediately when your shot is a successful one; a bird flying in one direction…
