    “isochronous”, which means it always takes the same time. Therefore these are oscillations that always repeat in the same time period maintaining the same this constant time even with a change in amplitude. A simple pendulum follows this pattern and it is why it has been such an important element in clocks. This can also be applied in different gravitational field strengths as the motion of the pendulum will always take the same time for one oscillation. Although there is a limit to the angle of…

    galaxy but how does gravity affect these things? All objects have a gravitational pull. This means that this force had a huge impact on the formation of our solar system and other solar systems in our galaxy and in the universe. First of all, a phet simulation showed us this. When mass 1=50 kg and mass 2=200 kg, the gravitational pull was 41712 E-7 Newtons. When mass 1 increased to 150 kg and mass 2 stayed the same. The gravitational pull increased 125856 E-6 Newtons. This shows that when the…

    Doppler technique, also known as the wobble method or the radial-velocity method. The influence of a planet’s gravitational pull on its parent star causes the star to wobble slightly, and this wobble influences the waves of light that a telescope can…

    energy is measured in Joules (J). When we talk about waterfalls and dams, the energy’s original form is Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) which is energy that comes from the potential all objects have to move due to gravity when they are not on the surface of the Earth. The GPE of an object is just the relationship between the object’s mass, the acceleration due to gravity which is a constant, and the height of the object above the surface of the…

    The balloon is placed on a contraption which was custom built to provide the desired gravitational potential energy between the balloon (or object) and a strip of wood. The apparatus also is able to exert a normal force on the balloon which equals the force due to gravity. This allows the balloon to be held up until there is a new force applied to it horizontally. The train begins to move forward and creates more tension on the string which is tied to both the balloon and the train. Once the…

    2017). When passing the observer on the platform, it is expected that the light would be moving at 1.5 times the speed of light as you add the speed of the train to the speed of light (VCE Physics, 2017). However, due to special relativity, light is constant from every perspective, resulting in time being altered. This is because more time has passed for the observer on the platform than in the carriage, hence creating a time dilation (VCE Physics,…

    Gravitational theory is a theory that states any two particles attract each other with a force that is equal to the product of the two masses. Before Newton, the views on gravity and the motion of the planets, were quite different. Aristotle believed the universe never had a beginning and would never end; he believed it was eternal. Kepler’s view on gravity and motion was that the planets orbited around the sun and orbits faster the closer it becomes to the sun. Galileo believed if something…

    C Why: according to Newton’s first law of motion, an object that is free from all outside forces travels at a constant velocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path, C is true. 2. D Why: not matter an object is still or is in motion, the object has inertia all the time. Inertia is a nature/property of any objects. 3. D Why: the ship is moving at a constant speed, which is in a balanced status. For the athlete, it would be likely to do a long jump on ground. Since…
