Classical mechanics

When your car is moving, it will keep moving until something stops it. i.e. your brakes or friction with the road/axles. When your car is stopped, it will remain stopped until something moves it, i.e. the the gas pedal. So imagine what you'r car would do if you just let go of the wheel and gas. (and imagine it without friction, so on some ice or somrhting). If you're travelling in a straight line, you keep moving along. But if you're in the middle of a curve and let go of the wheel, you careen…

PACE Speech The problem I researched for this experiment was to see if the weight of a ball affects the speed that ball in travel at when shot or thrown. While researching this I found out that many different sports involve arm strength to throw an object far or at high speeds and many athletes don’t have enough arm strength or maybe don’t have much at all, but for every sport there is always a workout plan to increase what is needed. To increase your arm strength, the weight of a ball is a…

Isaac Newton is mainly known for his great achievements in science. But Isaac Newton was very involved with the Anglican Church and did support a lot of great things. We won't get to that just yet, let's start from the beginning where it all began. “On January 4, 1643, Isaac Newton was born in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England (using the "old" Julien calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642)” (A&E Networks Television). Newtons dad passed away three…

evel the force table and put one of the pulley at the angle 35° and another at 150° Place .100 slotted mass on a weight hanger at 35° Place .200 slotted mass on a weight hanger at 150° Place another pulley at different angle from 35° and 150° On the third angle, place the amount of slotted mass so the ring will remain in center of the force. Now the ring is at equilibrium. Record the required slotted mass that made the ring at equilibrium. Record the tensions in each of the strings on the…

A mousetrap car is a car powered by a mousetrap. It utilizes potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy. Potential energy is a type of energy an object has because of its position. For example, elastic potential energy of a rubber band depends on how far it is pulled back from rest. The farther it is pulled back, the higher its potential energy. Once the rubber band is let go, the potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy, the energy of movement. The held end of the…

Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, England and died in London on March 31, 1727. He made many great scientific discoveries in the categories of optics, motion, and mathematics. With these discoveries, he became known as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. He wrote about these discoveries by publishing a book called Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. This book became known as the most influential book on physics. Newton’s father was a…

Drum servo relates to drum brakes but more specifically the leading and trailing edges of the shoes. Drum brakes can have effective self-servo characteristics based upon which way the shoes are hinged, this has the effect of increasing stopping power without any additional effort by the driver because the rotation of the drum. The shoes within the drum have a leading edge and a trailing edge and are designed so that the leading edge comes into contact with the drum before the trailing edge. The…

Amusement Park and Newton’s laws Magic mountain amusement park is really great especially their roller coaster rides,but it’s not just how it’s built it’s also because Newton’s laws make it even more amazing.Some of them that I am a fan of are the Green lantern, Apocalypse, as well as their Batman no escape. These rides are great with all the ways they go up down and around,but Newton’s law really make it exciting with motion,and an object at rest because it gives you that unexpected thrill…

Our athlete, John, is engaging in the motor task of setting a volleyball over a net. He is not encumbered by non-regulatory environmental constraints since the sun is hidden on this cloudy day and there are no spectators to distract, cheer, or make him nervous. John’s movement must conform to the regulatory environmental constraints regarding the size, shape, and velocity of the ball. He is moving to get into position (a mobility constraint) somewhere on a smooth, yet irregular, sandy surface…

He was born on January 4, 1643 and died on march 31, 1727. He was a physicist and a mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, also the laws of motion, and was credited with one of the greatest minds of the 17th century. Newton made discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics. In 1668 he designed and constructed a reflecting telescope. Newton created a theory of gravity, it states that two objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction that's…
