Center of mass

Research question How was the efficiency of the bounce dependent on the height of a ball being dropped? Independent Variable: The height of release of the tennis ball Dependent Variable: The peak height of the bounce Controlled Variables: • The mass of the tennis ball • The tennis ball • Surface the ball is dropped on • The initial velocity…

bullet, it will then have more mass causing it to not go as far as a paper bullet with less mass. This shows that a paper bullet will travel a shorter distance if it has more mass and a farther distance if it has less mass. The data overall proves that the original hypothesis was correct because the paper bullets with more mass traveled less distance than the paper bullets with more…

Tell us about you: I’m currently a senior at Tustin High and have been attending there over the last four years. I have been part of the AVID program for the last four years and have gained many useful skills through the program. I was also part of the STEM program throughout my freshman until junior year and have been able to grow more in knowledge because of it. I was able to learn how to use Solidworks, which is a 3D modeling software program. Not only have I learned many useful skills…

propel the penny toward the other end of the lab table trying to get it to stop exactly at the edge of the lab table. Station 8 (Newton’s Second Law of Motion) 1. There are two carts with different masses on the table. 2. Give the cart with the lower mass a gentle push and record how far it goes. 3. Give the other cart a push, just as hard, and record how far it goes. Station 9 (Newton’s Second Law of Motion) 1. Set up the cart so that it is at the starting tape. 2. One partner gently pushes…

4.6 The Selection of the Injection Machine 4.6.1 Calculation of the Injection Volume Figure 4-8 shows the volume of plastic parts by Solidworks modeling. Figure 4-8 Volume of the Stress Cone Plastic parts volume: Vplastic = 4.198 × 10-5 m3 = 41.98 cm3 Plastic parts density: ρ = 1.2 g/cm3 Plastic parts quality: mplastic = ρVplastic = 1.2 × 41.98 = 50.376 g 4.6.2 Preliminary Estimation of the Gating System Although the gating system of condensate cannot determine the exact value prior…

Learning Objective At the end of this topic, you will be able to understand about: • Brakes Introduction: Brakes are classified into six types based on the nature of power employed. Brakes are employed to stop the vehicle in the least possible distance. The following media (Brakes) explains about the functions and types of brakes. Original OST In this media, you will learn about ‘Brakes’. Brake: Brake is one of the vital control parts of a vehicle. Brakes are needed to stop the vehicle in…

Physics is everywhere. Especially in NASCAR which stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing is a racing sport which the racing cars have motion. “NASCAR is motorsport's preeminent stock-car racing organization. The three largest racing-series sanctioned by this company are the Sprint Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series.”(Mukul Bhatia.What is NASCAR?.www.quora.com.) On the rough racetrack nascar cars are made to be driven in extreme conditions. In…

Changes affect people every day, and people react to changes in many ways. In Long Day’s Journey into Night, the characters experience many trials and obstacles in their lives that induced a change. In physics, there is the principle known as the Coriolis Effect or Force, which is the effect a rotating object has on the motion of another object. The trials experienced in the lives of the characters are the Coriolis Force in their lives that induced the change in their behavior or lifestyle. The…

In this world all of us have different views on activities, food, and a number more. There are various activities, like snow sports. When choosing a snow sport, a person needs to know the difference between snowboarding and skiing. First, a person needs to know the difference in the learning curve involved in snowboarding and skiing. Skiing is probably the harder one to master. In skiing, a person can clock at least 80 miles an hour on a head wall(this is the steep face of a hill; also it is a…

the hanging mass to fall a known distance that can be determined experimentally? (as seen in Figure 1) Before beginning to attempt to answer the question, the lab had to be set up correctly. First, the rotating object was set tangent to the hanging mass. Once the hanging mass was released from rest, the rotating object began moving in the clockwise direction. The weights placed on the rotating object would also affect the time for the hanging mass to hit the floor.The greater the mass, the less…
