    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…

    Chapter 4 Questions 1. If the acceleration of an object is zero, are no forces acting on it? Explain. a. No, forces would still be acting on an object if its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is only the change in velocity and in the F=ma equation, the F stands for net force. For example, if a car was traveling at a constant velocity, it would still have forces such as gravity, friction, and normal force acting on it. 2. Only one force acts on an object. Can the object have zero acceleration?…

    When the soccer ball lays down in the middle of the field the object is at rest but when Hugo kicks the ball to juan the object (which is the ball) is at motion with every pass. This demonstrates Newton’s First Law, which states, “An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force” they make a pass and it is collecting water because it is raining outside and the more water it gets filled up with the more weight and mass/pressure is being put towards the ball think of…

    This law of motion stems off of the idea of force. Simply meaning that when you push off of something, the object that you are pushing off of is going to be pushed back due to the energy it takes to move an object. An example of this is hitting a golf ball with a club…

    Biomechanics refers to the “study of the action of external and internal forces on the living body, especially on the skeletal system” (Dictionary.com, 2015). By using biomechanics we can examine and find ways to successfully enhance performance, develop exercise programs and modify sporting techniques (Swedan, 2013). This paper will be analyzing and evaluating the athletic event of high jump. Biomechanics will be applied to critically examine the techniques used in high jump and improve upon…

    important in astronomy. (3 pts) Kepler’s Three Laws that everything orbits the sun. The first law is that everything orbits the sun, all the planets orbit in the ecliptic of the sun which clear up a lot of the problems with the tycho model in retrograde motion. Ellipses. The second law is equal areas in equal times. Equal Areas. And the third law is the mathematical relationship equating distance from the sun, average distance from the planet to the sun, to the amount of time it takes that…

    Goal The goal of this experiment is to verify Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion. Introduction Newton’s 2nd Law states that when an external net force acts on an object, the acceleration of the object is proportional to the net force, and it also occurs in the same direction. The acceleration is also inversely proportional to the net force. Thus, the net force, which is the sum of all the forces acting on an object, is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. In this experiment,…

    This statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Newton's Third law of motion states that for every action force, there is a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction. The catapult arm is pushing up on the elastic bands with a lot of force, but my hand is pushing back, in the opposite direction, making…

    livescience.com/46558-laws-of-motion.html. Newton is known for his work in gravity and the motion of planets. Isaac Newton based his discoveries off of Descartes and changed the modern era of scientific thinking. In mathematics, Newton created integral and differential calculus, and in optics, he created the first telescope. His most influential and famous contribution came from his three laws that describe the motion of objects on the earth. The first law Newton created was based off of…
