    law applies to air bags, seat belts, and headrests in terms of keeping your body at rest while you are driving, which in turn will keep you safe. When you crash your car, the motion of your body in the car matches the motion of the century itself, so when it crashes, your body has the tendency to stay in motion. So, with the headrest, seatbelt, and airbag, they are all designed to slow down the forward motion of your body in a car. Riding a rollercoaster is a great way to experience Newton 's…

    Three tests are done through a Gizmo to determine how radius, mass, and velocity affects 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…

    When lining up your shot, try moving your body weight a little more forward than usual. This will help you to hit down on the ball and keep it out of the air. Don’t Force It: As much as you may wish you could, you cannot control the wind. However, you can control the level of risk that you take…

    Newton’s 3 laws of Motion 1. If a body is as rest it remains at rest or, if it is in motion, it moves with uniform velocity, until it is acted on by a resultant force. 2. Acceleration is dependent on the forces acting upon an object and the mass of the object. Therefore, if the force is increased, the acceleration is increased. And the more mass the object has, the more acceleration decreases. So the resultant force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma). 3. For every action,…

    Vertical dimension (VD) defined in the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms as "The distance between two selected anatomic or marked points”. Occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) defined as "The distance between two selected anatomic points when in maximal inter-cuspal position”.(1) The OVD is determined by the repetitive contracted length of the elevator muscles which sets the jaw-to-jaw relationship.(2) During growth and development OVD affected by three factors: Growth of the ramus, gonial angle of…

    everything to do with forces and motion. There are three laws; the first being every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. The second is the relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. The last one being for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.…

    Physics can often explain many of the everyday activities of life; from playing football to ice skating to visiting an amusement park. Most people step into an amusement park excited for the thrill of riding all of the roller coasters without ever giving any thought to the physics behind the ride. There are several components of physics which contribute to the thrill of roller coasters, including gravitational forces, the law of conservation of energy, friction, centripetal force, and normal…

    1. How do you adjust the pulling force of the mousetrap? Adjusting the length of the snapper will change the pulling force—making something move as it goes in a certain direction. Making the snapper on the mousetrap longer will decrease the pulling force and a shorter snapper will increase it.…
