Motion

laws that he created were, 1) An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. 2) F=ma, and 3) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Without these three laws there would be a huge misunderstanding in how things move, rise, and fall. Every time you hit a ball or bounce on a trampoline you are using one of Newton’s three laws. Newton’s first law is “an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless…

gymnastics, the physics involved in energy, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and angular momentum each contribute immensely to being successful in the Olympics. Learning how to master these physical science concepts can aid in becoming a strong olympic gymnast. To begin, there is the running start; this is where energy plays a major role. During a gymnast’s running start for a vault, she gains kinetic energy, which is, simply put, the energy of motion. Looking at the equation for kinetic energy (KE =…

because of the physics shown all throughout the sport. There are stunts, tumbling, and jumps. Cheerleading is a sport that involves all these tasks and much more. Cheerleading consists of many concepts of physics, such as Gravity, Newton Laws of Motion, momentum, torque, potential and kinetic energy, velocity, force, gravitational acceleration, free fall. I will explain the definitions of each concept, so readers will be able to get real meaning as to why these concepts consist of cheer leading…

forces balance out the forces between it and the ruler, the kinetic forces create friction which causes the object to slow down and the magnetic forces help move the ball from a distance so it speeds towards the magnet. We know that based on our motion graphs ball A accelerates to the magnet hitting it so the magnets and balls A-D are recoiled backwards. The ball is also going under energy transformations where when the ball does not start moving it has potential energy then the potential…

The similarities and differences of Kinetics of a Particle: Work and Energy and Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy. Kinetics of a particle: work and energy shows the particle moving when forces are applied to it and produces work and energy. Meanwhile under planar kinetics of a rigid body shows the rigid body on the plane when forces are applied and produces work and energy. There are similarities and differences between both of it. Kinetics of a particle Planar kinetics of a…

different… In the third experiment, projectile motion… Experiment # 1 – Measuring the Acceleration of Gravity The object in motion is said to be in free fall. That is because the only force that is acting on the object is said to be the…

exhibit simple harmonic motion were studied. The systems were subjected to a mass of known weight and allowed to oscillate. Afterwards, the period of each was determined. In addition, the harmonic properties in the systems and their limiting factors were determined through quantitative calculations. Introduction Any system that exhibits back and forth periodic motion (oscillator) is important since most systems are typical oscillators. Several systems exhibit periodic motion and their…

foundation for estimating the Hurst exponent. 3.1.1. Brownian Motion theory This theory was first coined by Robert Brown. It was primarily referred as the random motion observed under microscope of pollen immersed in water. In addition to that, Albert Einstein mentioned that this theory was caused by the random bombardment of (heat excited) water molecules on the pollen. Hence, it is just the molecular nature of matter. (Rodriguez, A.). Brownian motion was explained by assuming that the…

Other scientists before him had ideas put on the table about motion and so forth, but it was Newton who made the connections. Newton’s young life was a struggle for him and he wasn’t always treated in the best way. But he made the best of his life and made himself into an important figure who changed how we view the world and science. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress” -Frederick Douglas Newton developed three laws of motion, he wrote a book explaining his scientific ideas and…

As mentioned before, pitching requires several joints and muscles. Shoulder and elbow are two of the joints that are involved in the movement. Of the six phases of pitching, arm cocking, acceleration and deceleration are the three phases when elbow and shoulder joints experience high magnitudes of forces (Oyama 83). Windup is the phase that occurs when the pitcher places the non-throwing hand is in front of the target. In the beginning of the arm cocking phase, the non-throwing shoulder is…
