Mass hysteria

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS: Answer the following Questions: 1. How did changing the angle of the slope affect the acceleration of the object? Use information from the summary table and/or graph. According to our data, the larger that the slope was, the faster the acceleration of the object was. Although, this was not the same for the 30° angle and the 40° angle. This may have occurred due to an error in recording the data or a bad ticker timer being used. 2. What forces are acting on the object…

In this report i will be explaining some of galileo experiments. It will explain how the projectiles and the parabolic actually work. Using an incline plane Galileo experimented acceleration motion and he will use the same projectile motion to study. He placed a inclined plane on a table with a curved piece at the bottom which deflected a bronze ball into a horizontal direction. The ball results accelerated rolled over the table top with a uniform motion then rolled of the edge of the table on…

The objective of this lab was to figure out how to determine the range from a given set of velocity and height from the ball. The height of the ball when it leaves the horizontal projectile is at 93.5cm or .935m. The velocity of the ball was .0674 seconds in the range of .1 meter. Creating a total velocity of 1.484m/s. To calculate the hang-time the formula: y= -4.9t^2 was used. The hang time is used to figure out how long the ball will be in the air for. After you find the answer, the time is…

Diagram of Prototype A that consisted of an octagonal prism with a length of 11 in. or 27.94 cm. and height of 10.16 cm., while we created corrugated layers within the prism. We decided to change all the dimensions to centimeters instead of using inches as the units. Tinkercad model of Prototype B that consisted of a hexagonal prism with a length of 27.94 cm., height of 10.16 cm., and sides of the base of 4.445 cm. WIthin the hexagonal prism consisted of 6 equilateral triangles are connected…

The smallest black holes are called primordial black holes, which can be as small as an atom with the mass of a large mountain. Scientists think that these black holes most likely formed near the time of the big bang. Another group of black holes are known as stellar black holes, which are categorized as medium sized (10 miles wide, with the mass over 20 times greater than our sun) and are the most commonly found type of black hole. It is theorized that dozens of this type…

The distance the rocket will travel will increase because the rocket has more mass. Newton’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd law and aerodynamic forces had an effect on the rocket. The changes made to the rocket was that more mass was added to the rocket. Two grams of clay was added to the nose cone. The straw is 205 cm body length and there’s 3 fins on the bottom that are 4cm x 2cm. Newton’s 1st law is if an object in rest it will stay in rest unless an outside force acts on the object. Also, if an…

Does a track at which a car is on, affect the speed of the car? There are many different kinds of angles for tracks, they can be heading downhill, uphill, or can be straight. Sometimes the angle of the track determines the speed of the car. Potential and kinetic energy will also have an effect of the car's speed. Potential energy is taken in when the car goes up, and kinetic energy is released when the car goes downhill. I think that when the car goes down, it will go faster do to the kinetic…

to the equation one must use precisely 2, not 1.99 or 2.001. The force of gravity has been tested over and over with sensitive torsion balances and has shown repeatedly that the factor must be precisely two up to five decimal places. Similar to the mass of a proton which cannot be changed without catastrophic results, if any value other than 2 is substituted in the equation, it would result in the eventual decay of orbits and the disintegration of the whole universe. This precision found within…

When a ball is kicked at its side it begins to spin around in its place according to the location of the kick. If it is kicked at the side and a bit towards the bottom the ball rises up in the air while spinning on its own axis. In the beginning it will fly exactly in the direction of the kick, and as it slows down due to friction with the air, the spinning motion will cause the air on one side to move faster than that on the other side and because of the Magnus effect the ball will then change…

Why am I doing this lab? In this lab we are determining which of the two scientists Aristotle or Galileo has the correct theory in the laws of a falling objects. Aristotle was a physicist who was born in 384 BC and his theory is that when a object falls it keeps a constant velocity. Galileo was also a physicist but born years later in 1564 and his theory is that when an object falls it changes velocity. At the end of this lab we will figure out who's theory is correct. Hypothesis My…
