    Since h is a constant vector, it is fixed in direction. Thus the motion of the planet around the Sun or the motion of an artificial satellite around a planet is two dimensional. 2.4 Equations of Motion in Polar Coordinates The last section demonstrates that all celestial…

    Gravitation Potential Energy: Introduction and Theory: Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an elevated object has due to the force of gravity. Potential energy is the stored energy an object has dependent upon its position. Near the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration of an object is 9.8m/s^2. There is no uncertainty associated with this value since it has been measured countless times. The factors that affect the gravitational potential energy include m,…

    mass of a massive object, the following is needed, Newton’s gravitational law (F = ma = mv2/r). Newton’s gravitational law can be used to calculate the mass which is represented by (M). This can be calculated if the velocity represented by (v), at orbital radius represented by (r), is known for the equation. When these two laws are put together they create the formula M = v2 r / G what G represents is the gravitational constant (6.673 X 10 – 11 m3 Kg – 1 s – 2). For a circular…

    The piece of art that I have painted depicts the sky during a colorful sunset, and also includes a silhouette of a carousel on the beach in the foreground of the work. The sunset in the painting is at the peak time in regards to the amount of colors that are scattered throughout the sky. I incorporated all of these ideas into my painting due to the fact that they present important concepts in regards to physics phenomena. The emission of light waves from the sun includes the visible light…

    the Development of the Four Fundamental Forces Nature has a total of four fundamental forces. The forces include gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses. Every object in this universe is pulling upon other objects. Many scientists came up with logics to explain the science behind gravitational forces. The first one to try was Aristotle in around 330 BC. Aristotle believed Earth and the heavens were…

    thus my predictions were incorrect with the final results. However, I soon realized that the position vs. time graph had to be a parabola since the object was falling at a steady motion at rest. Also, I soon realized that the acceleration must be constant because of gravity. Consequently, there was not a greater air resistance on the basketball and thus there was not a great presence of drag force. In the second experiment conducted, the motion of a mini-basketball…

    states that on Earth’s axis, the level of the ocean is centered by the centrifugal force pulling outward while gravity pulls inward. Since both forces are acting in different directions on the same object, it levels off. However, when the Moon’s gravitational force is added into the equation, the water facing the direction of the…

    Trampolines are very fun toys, is an activity loved by people of all ages. A trampoline is an object consisting of a piece of taut, a strong fiber extended over a steel frame using many springs, the fabric used on the trampoline bed has certain elasticity, the elasticity is generated by the springs connected to the frame, which store potential energy (the stored energy of position of an object). The first trampoline to be invented, was invented by a trapeze artist called Du Trampolin, he…
