Slow motion

According Peter M. McGinnis (2013) the Newton’s first law is about the linear kinematic and is called law of Inertia. This law states that, ‘everybody continues in it states of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it’ (McGinnis, 2013, p.88). Simpler, the law of Inertia says that if there is no external force acts on a subject, that subject will not move and it will remain in states of rest or if it was moving it will…

headrests in terms of keeping your body at rest while you are driving, which in turn will keep you safe. When you crash your car, the motion of your body in the car matches the motion of the century itself, so when it crashes, your body has the tendency to stay in motion. So, with the headrest, seatbelt, and airbag, they are all designed to slow down the forward motion of your body in a car. Riding a rollercoaster is a great way to experience Newton 's laws. Relate each law to an aspect of the…

Our Rube Goldberg machine used several physics concepts in order to complete its simple task, which was to turn on a Roomba. One of the most prominent physics concepts within our project was gravity and/or gravitational potential energy, which could be seen in places such as the inclined planes and the hammer swinging down. Gravity was the downward-pulling force that allowed the energy to be transferred from the top level, to the Roomba on the floor. The toppling rule was another major concept…

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…

Laws of Motion Have you ever wondered a soccer ball continues to move long after your foot has lost contact? Or why you can coast downhill on a bicycle but going uphill you have to pedal to get to the top? Or maybe you’ve asked, why do we use seatbelts and airbags in cars? All of these seemingly complex questions can be explained by three simple rules called Newton’s Laws. For most, Newton’s Laws call up some hazy memory from childhood. You may have instantly remembered “An object in motion…

1. C Why: according to Newton’s first law of motion, an object that is free from all outside forces travels at a constant velocity, covering equal distances in equal times along a straight-line path, C is true. 2. D Why: not matter an object is still or is in motion, the object has inertia all the time. Inertia is a nature/property of any objects. 3. D Why: the ship is moving at a constant speed, which is in a balanced status. For the athlete, it would be likely to do a long jump on ground.…

There are many famous and influential mathematicians that have done many wondrous and extraordinary things, some of these range it Einstein, newton and to pascal. But one interesting one in particular is Pythagoras. Pythagoras is one of the many famous mathematicians that has lived on the earth. What he did in math helped shape math to what it is today. Some things he did was learn math and science as much as he could, create the useful Pythagoreanism, and help progress the advancement of…

After four hundred years of its invention, it became an important scientific instrument, a symbol of science. All through the 400 years history, this invention changed our view of the universe, our thoughts, societies and even our thoughts. This incredible scientific instrument has been built by the famous astronomer and philosopher from Pisa, Galileo Galilei. This invention can make far objects appear closer when viewed through one end of its long pipe. It was a telescope. The telescope’s…

Newton's Second Law: It describes what happens to the body when it is affected by force, as it shows the relationship between the force affecting the body, and the movement acquired by the body. Through the study of Newton's first law, we see that in the absence of an effective force on an object or the existence of a group of balanced forces affecting it, This body will be in a state of stillness or regular movement in the straight line. We continue to study the movement of objects when a force…
