Potential energy

Electrical energy are several types of energy that exist in this experiment. Wind energy was present as it was used as a resource to make the propellers move, the wind was blown toward the propellers, making them spin therefore transforming wind energy into mechanical. Mechanical energy was present because a fan is a machine that helped to generate the wind, when the wind was blown through the propellers, the gadgets inside transform the mechanical energy into electric. Electrical energy was…

angle was for of each hill. The more pointy the hills, the more dangerous the landing of the cart would be. Another example would be the height of the loop of the roller coaster. The loop should be high enough so that the cart could travel with more energy. 2. Describe a roller coaster design that the cart was able to travel through safely. A roller coaster has to be able to nice and smooth without stopping to abruptly. Another way a roller coaster design that would move the cart safely…

The search for "energy capsule" made me get acquainted with such a mysterious phenomenon of nature, Ball lightning. In truth, no one yet knows exactly drive it or not. But I'm with some degree of risk still decided to consider a Ball lightning energy accumulator. Here is a brief those characteristics of ball lightning, which are made by scientists on the basis of a large number of eyewitnesses: the energy contained in the lightning - from 0.1 to 4 kWh; lifetime - from several seconds to minutes;…

Projectile Motion Worksheet A ball rolls off a desk at a speed of 3.0 m/s and lands 0.40 seconds later. How far from the base of the desk does the ball land? How high is the desk? What is the speed and angle of impact? A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away. At what speed was the stone launched? What is the speed and angle of impact? A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0 m/s across a level table that is 1.0 m…

Experiment 3: Buoyancy Introduction Mass is described as the measure of the amount of matter contained in an object. On the other hand, weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on the mass. Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons. The density of an object is found by dividing the mass by the volume. Buoyancy is the upward force of a liquid which counters the weight of an immersed object. The theoretical buoyancy of an object can be calculated by using the…

Hydroelectric energy is made from a turbine that turns falling water into mechanical energy; then that mechanical energy is turned into electric energy. This process helps produce electric energy from the kinetic energy of falling water. How does this process involve chemistry? It first begins with the mechanical energy of the water. Mechanical energy is all the energy that is put upon an object. In the case of the hydroelectric generator, the mechanical energy is made from the position of…

Fill the flat beaker with water. 6. Place a plastic bag over the top of the cylinder and place it, upside down, in the flat beaker. Make sure the bottom of the beaker is always underwater. 7. Fasten the beaker in place using the stand, clamp and boss. 8. Place one end of the tube inside the large beaker and fasten the other to the cynical flask’s arm. 9. Quickly pour the CaCO3 into the cynical flask, plug in the rubber stopper and start the stop watch. 10. Every 10 seconds,…

In the first experiment, the acceleration of a falling mini-basketball, the results gathered disagreed with my predicted outcome. Originally, I could not imagine how the graph might appear. I could not visualize an object falling and what its acceleration, position, and velocity might be on the graph. However, after completing the first experiment, I realized that the graphs would look somewhat the same in relation to the basketball since this object was not affected as much as the lighter…

Roller coasters with loop-the-loops are generally rides that appeal to thrill seekers, however without the use of dynamics, these rides would not be able to function. A roller coaster loop-the-loop is a type of large scale centrifuge, as one approaches the loop, the rider's inertial velocity is straight ahead. However the track of the roller coaster keeps the car and therefore the rider, from travelling in a straight path. The force of a rider's acceleration pushes them from…

In class today we dropped a racket ball beneath a sensor in order to describe the motion of the ball in free fall. We collected our data through a sensor that determines the distance of an object from its current location. The sensor connects to a LabQuest that connects to the program Logger Pro, which copies the data collected and forms a position versus time graph as well as a velocity versus time graph. In order to have the data fit the situation of the bouncing ball, we zeroed the sensor so…
