Range of motion

beginning… Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy. His parents were Vincenzio Galilei and Giulia di Cosimo Ammannati. Vincenzio was a musician and did several mathematical tests to explain how different instruments got their ranges. This most likely had an effect on Galileo. Galileo was the oldest…

Although his discoveries would change the world of science, he did not care the fame that came with them. He was just an intellectual who liked solving challenges. His most important and notable discovery of all, however, was the principles and laws of motion, and his book: "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" could be considered the single most valuable publication ever written to science. This is what formed the basis of modern physics and what will be used and referred to…

Australia is the flattest continent, with an average height of 330 metres above sea level, as well as an average annual precipitation of 450 millimetres, making it the driest inhabited continent there is. These characteristics are hidden beneath the range of exclusive topographic features and river systems that are found in Australia. While Australia is part of a global community there are many features of the physical and human environment that make the country unique. Taken together, these…

occupations. In the setting of driving and community mobility I got into my truck and cranked it and I thought this isn’t bad at all. I stopped at a store to get a drink and when I reached to turn the ignition off, I realized that I was limited in range of motion especially in radial deviation and wrist extension. Upon entering the store and getting my drink I realized all my money was in my right front pocket. The splint doesn’t go into my pocket and I could not reach into my pocket with my…

gravitational field. What is horizontal motion? horizontal motion is the motion of object that is going in a horizontal line. Though gravity affect many things it does not affect the horizontal motion of an projectile. What is a vertical motion? Vertical motion is the motion that a projectile is traveling up or down. Unlike horizontal motion gravity does have an effect on vertical motion. Gravity slowly pulls the projectile down to the earth which alters the vertical motion of a projectile. But…

scientists and mathematicians as a parabola, and objects that fly in the shape of a parabola are said to be in parabolic motion. A projectiles motion can be broken up into two separate pieces, horizontal and vertical motion. These two motions act independently of each other meaning no matter how much one of them changes the other will be unaffected. While in parabolic motion the only motion…

Motion Down an Inclined Plane Andrew Park Ms. Jatindranauth SPH 3U7-A September 28, 2017  Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect displacement has on the final velocity of a trolley on an inclined ramp. What is hypothesized is that as the distance the trolley rolls down decreases, the velocity should decrease with it. Also, because the trolley should uniformly accelerate, the standard equations of motion can be used to calculate many different variables (one such being…

Newton’s 3 laws of Motion 1. If a body is as rest it remains at rest or, if it is in motion, it moves with uniform velocity, until it is acted on by a resultant force. 2. Acceleration is dependent on the forces acting upon an object and the mass of the object. Therefore, if the force is increased, the acceleration is increased. And the more mass the object has, the more acceleration decreases. So the resultant force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma). 3. For every action,…

objects which can be transferred to other independent objects or be converted into different forms. It is described as “a system to perform work.” We have two different types of energy; kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. This allows work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. This use of energy becomes constant until the speed changes. Potential energy is when energy results from a position or configuration. This gives…

Introduction In 1686, in the book, Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis, Sir Isaac Newton penned his three laws of motion. In the first law he states that, “Every body perseveres in its state of rest… unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.” (p. 83) His second law builds upon this principle, “The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive forces impressed.” (p. 83) Newton’s third law, perhaps the most famous, serves to tie the three…
