thing good and finding a balance of good and evil. Master Yoda says this to Luke to help him understand the force. “You will know when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack,” (Yoda Quotes, 2017). He also said “Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path,…

Using physics, we can calculate the mass of a bolt fired from a blaster used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. First of all, we know that these bolts are not lasers based on two facts: they can be seen from the side and they do not travel at the speed of light. Thus, from there, we have to find their velocity. Rhett Allain calculated that to be about 35 m/s. He did this by finding distance and time of various bolts fired throughout the series, dividing the two measurements, and averaging out all…

Angular Acceleration is described as the rate of change of angular velocity, it is also recognized as rotational acceleration. According to the author the magnitudes and lengths of angular acceleration vectors are proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish…

and the 40° angle. This may have occurred due to an error in recording the data or a bad ticker timer being used. 2. What forces are acting on the object while it is sliding down the slope? When the object is sliding down the slope the gravity component is the force which pulls the object down. This force also results in the object accelerating. 3. Explain how the forces change as the angle of the slope…

will keep following that pathway. Near the Earth's surface, the influence of gravity begins immediately and affects the entire course of the projectile's flight. A projectile's horizontal velocity remains constant. It does not accelerate. But the force of gravity causes a projectile to accelerate in a vertical direction down toward the surface of the Earth. The influence of gravity pulls the projectile away from its straight-line original path into a curved, parabolic path. Downward acceleration…

The objective of this lab was to figure out how to determine the range from a given set of velocity and height from the ball. The height of the ball when it leaves the horizontal projectile is at 93.5cm or .935m. The velocity of the ball was .0674 seconds in the range of .1 meter. Creating a total velocity of 1.484m/s. To calculate the hang-time the formula: y= -4.9t^2 was used. The hang time is used to figure out how long the ball will be in the air for. After you find the answer, the time is…

Physics Behind Archery Physics A Exam Paper Morgan Avink 11/18/13 The bow and arrow have been around for many years. The bow and arrow were used for wars in the beginning however they were more efficient for hunting and that is what they are continually used for even today with the dangerous substance of gunpowder that could be used. Guns are cool however the physics behind them is nowhere near to the elaborate physics involved in archery. Today we have three common bow types; the longbow,…

Diagram of Prototype A that consisted of an octagonal prism with a length of 11 in. or 27.94 cm. and height of 10.16 cm., while we created corrugated layers within the prism. We decided to change all the dimensions to centimeters instead of using inches as the units. Tinkercad model of Prototype B that consisted of a hexagonal prism with a length of 27.94 cm., height of 10.16 cm., and sides of the base of 4.445 cm. WIthin the hexagonal prism consisted of 6 equilateral triangles are connected…

1st, 2nd, 3rd law and aerodynamic forces had an effect on the rocket. The changes made to the rocket was that more mass was added to the rocket. Two grams of clay was added to the nose cone. The straw is 205 cm body length and there’s 3 fins on the bottom that are 4cm x 2cm. Newton’s 1st law is if an object in rest it will stay in rest unless an outside force acts on the object. Also, if an object in motion will remain in motion, unless an outside force acts on the object. For example,…

Does a track at which a car is on, affect the speed of the car? There are many different kinds of angles for tracks, they can be heading downhill, uphill, or can be straight. Sometimes the angle of the track determines the speed of the car. Potential and kinetic energy will also have an effect of the car's speed. Potential energy is taken in when the car goes up, and kinetic energy is released when the car goes downhill. I think that when the car goes down, it will go faster do to the kinetic…
