Privileged motion

Lab Report: Uniform Motion Table of Contents Background Information 1 Research Question 1 Hypothesis 1 Variables 1 Materials 2 Procedure 3 Background Information Motion is the change of position of an object with respect to time. The physical quantities velocity, acceleration, displacement, time and speed are used in the study of motion. If an object does not change position with respect to time, it is considered as stationary. Note that if an object is motionless, it does not necessarily mean…

Within The Character of Physical Law, Dr. Feynman details the characteristics of nature. He describes nature as being incredibly complex, pointing to examples such as the orbits of the planets around the sun and tidal movement. Yet, he is able to describe nature as being simple. For a potential reader this can be confusing, as something cannot simultaneously be simple and complex. It is through the understanding and the application of logic that Feynman connects simple ideas to larger and more…

objects are supposed to have the same amount of acceleration , the larger object must be acted on by a larger force , whereas the smaller object must be acted on by a smaller force. The second law of motion applies to the behavior of objects for which all existing Isaac Newton’s 3rd law of motion is technically stated as, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Which means that in every interaction, there are forces acting on the two interacting objects. Or in simpler…

in picture.  Keep your legs straight , one above another parallelly placed. Now raise your left leg upwards as much as it can go up and then slowly bring it down by rotating clockwise and then going in other direction continuing clockwise circular motion.  After 3-4 circular movements bring down leg in resting position.  Now lie on your back and repeat all steps with other side of your body. BENEFITS:  It helps in strengthening your lower body especially the pelvic joint through circular…

Determining the effect of the mass on the drop time of a parachute Introduction and hypothesis The drop time of a parachute is dependent on multiple factors. Apart from mass, there is the obvious height, area of the parachute and other external factors such as wind. Mass is one of the main effectors of the drop time of a parachute, which can be proven through Newton’s second law, F=ma (Force=mass*acceleration). Rearranged, this gives a=F/m, where acceleration can also be gravity, if falling down…

we studied about various relations among time, position, velocity and acceleration of a particle. When we have a relation between any two parameters, we can calculate remaining parameters. In Kinetics of Particles, we applied Newton’s second law of motion ƩF = ma. The fundamental concept is when external forces acting on a particle are balanced (zero resultant), the particle will be in equilibrium. But when external forces acting on a particle are not balanced, the particle will move in the…

Acceleration, velocity, and gravity are important concepts that each played a role in this lab. Velocity is defined as the speed and direction of motion of a given object. The equation for this particular concept is: v=d/t which states that velocity equals displacement in respect to time. Acceleration is defined as how quickly and in what direction velocity changes. The equation for acceleration is: a=∆v/∆t in which the variable a represents acceleration, ∆v represents the change in velocity,…

In this big gigantic world of ours, math is everywhere. It surrounds us. Whether you like it or not, math actually makes our world very functional place. Without it, it would probably be very chaotic. It helps us when we’re dealing with money, school, and work and just about anything that you can think of. But who came up with this “math” thing? Lots of people helped contribute to the discovery of it. It wasn’t just one person. Like Isaac Newton, a very influential scientist, and indeed…

In this video olympic swimming athlete Bennet Clark demonstrates a race start with the help of his Cal swim team coach and the laws of physics! Clark’s dive can be related back to Newtons 1st law of motion. This law states that “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force” In this video the athlete is at rest when he is first on the starting block. He is being acted upon by normal force…

How Newton’s Second Law changed Physics. There are many equations and formulas that are important in physics because of what they imply or solve like E=mc^2, but Newton’s Second Law of motion has to be one of the most important. F=m(dv/dt)(Quote) F=ma Force = Mass x Acceleration (Newtons) With the use of this equation he proved that objects that are heavier fall at the same rate towards earth as objects that are lighter because the earth pulls them down with the same force. To put it in…
