Escape velocity

weighted hanger placed on the pulley system Set up the Vernier motion detector under the hanger to appropriately measure its acceleration Hold the cart in place until the motion detector has started tracking Release the cart and use the measured velocity of the cart to graph the acceleration as a function of time Select the appropriate area of the graph and measure the slope Record the value and repeat steps 4-6 four more times and average the data to ensure a more accurate result Determine the…

Title: 2-D Kinematics Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine and relate the distance of a nerf-gun with a dart shooting out of it at an angle of 45 degrees. In addition, find the displacement and average acceleration of the dart as it shoot out of the nerf-gun. Hypothesis: If the dart is shooting out of the nerf-gun with choosing a small angle, then the distance will become larger, because if shooting at a right angle the dart is going to go straight up and then fall, but…

Doris speed began faster, Frank gained speed and passed her and thus seemed to be the winner of the race. After looking more closely at the problem I discovered this was not quite the case. I first sketched Frank and Doris given values onto the one Velocity-Time graph. Originally looking at this graph, it looks as if Frank passes Doris at 10 seconds, because that is when his speed becomes greater than Doris’s speed. This was not true. Sure, Frank’s speed was now faster than Doris, but it did not…

types of roller coaster for speed and length of track. We have tracks that reduce the amount of friction that slows the cart down. Our carts resemble baseballs, except for the fact that they’re 450 kilograms in mass! You will experience a terminal velocity of 85 m/s.…

As the height of the ramp increased, the speed, velocity, and acceleration also increased. In Run 1, the height of the ramp was highest at 5 textbooks. Evidence: The speed and velocity of the car in this lab are essentially the same because the total distance traveled is equal to the total displacement of the car. In Run 5, the ramp had the lowest height of one textbook. Using the slope of the position versus time graph, the speed of the car from Run 5 to Run 1 was calculated to 0.439 m/s, 0.745…

Mephisto prison, a prisoner William James who was convicted of first degree murder for killing his wife with an axe, had unsuccessful escape from the notorious island prison ending 3 other people life and his too yesterday. the warden said that James was disguised as the captain of the boat that he stole from the real captain that he murdered whose body was found later floating near the coast of the island. three other man on the boat were with him, Roby Rob who was vesting his brother,…

at some point in their life to simply escape from themselves, from the realities of life, and to try and find some deeper meaning to what they have to go through and eventually find happiness. The story follows Ad Magic on this path as he becomes the want within all of us. In the beginning of “A White Horse”, the idea of escaping reality plays a crucial role. The fact that Ad Magic suffers from amnesia because of his epilepsy (Jones 29) symbolizes an escape from…

forces when he was eight. The path is a religion that gives people "The Choice" which is a way of recruiting. You join or die. Cal tries to escape the path and go back to his home in New York, but he is at the bottom of the U.S. so he has to walk on foot. He meets many people along the way that help him get to New York but he gets captured again. He finally escapes with the help of his brother and they travel to New York yo find their parents. But will they make it Cal is held in a path…

experience this for their entire life unless they make an effort to do something for a better future. Everyone has had the feeling of being trapped in a damp, wet cave at least once in their life. However, only the bravest and smartest people will escape the cave using knowledge obtained by disbelief of the manipulators, or the oppressors. The bravest and the smartest people will find the truth and have a better life than the ones who remained trapped inside the cave with lack of knowledge and…

Irving’s character Rip Van Winkle was a man looking to escape his troubles. When he escaped he slept for twenty years. During his sleep wars were won and lost, a new country was formed and people moved on from their memory of him. Rip Van Winkle’s town, townspeople, and house changed physically and politically while he stayed in the past during his sleep. His sleep demonstrates Irving’s idea of escapism. Irving writes how Rip Van Winkle wanted to escape due to his troubles. Before Rip fled, he…
