Velocity

From the Bering Strait to the connection between the Hill Center and the Engineering Building, bridges have been used for thousands of years to connect people with places. As people began building bridges, they have to consider not only the structural integrity of the bridge for the safety of the passengers crossing the bridge. With the invention of cars, even more safety precautions must be enacted to keep everyone safe. A car is being driven on a windy day has a higher chance of turning over…

higher angular velocity of the distal segment (shank). This proximal to distal action generates and transfers the required force to propel the ball in a forward and upward motion (K. Ball, 2008; Blazevich, 2012; Rath,…

as the wobble method or the radial-velocity method. The influence of a planet’s gravitational pull on its parent star causes the star to wobble slightly, and this wobble influences the waves of light that a telescope can…

differentiability (no sharp turns on the rails) to derive the two equations needed to find the value of the constant. To ensure that the roller coaster is continuous at x=5, Ax^2-1085=972x+D Since at x=5, both functions share the same instantaneous velocity, ⅆ/ⅆx [Ax^2-1085]=ⅆ/ⅆx[972x+D] 2Ax=972 10A=972 A=97.2 By substituting A=97.2, 97.2x^2-1085=972x+D At x=5, 97.2〖(5)〗^2-1085=972(5)+D D=-3515 To ensure that the roller coaster is continuous at x=5 with knowing the value of D,…

equation, the derivative must be found. dt/dx = -10 [ 1/(810+x) - 1/(10w-x) ] By solving for x, based on the denominators of the derivative, the minimum distance from the cutoff to home can be determined after plugging in the shortstops initial velocity. 922 + x = 10w – x 922 + 2x = 10w 2x = 10w – 922 x = 5w –…

limitations to the performance of electrodynamic shaker are displacement, velocity and acceleration. Shaker is operated by displacement at the lowest frequency. On the other hand, acceleration limit the performance of shaker at highest frequency. For velocity limit performance of shaker in a band between the other two. For example, Thermotron?s DS- 2250 vibration system has a displacement limit of 2? peak-peak, a velocity limit of 100 inches per second, and an acceleration limit of 100 g?s. Each…

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 weight objects (Frisbee and…

piercing or by explosion of the target. Some examples of conventional weapons would be cruise missiles or rifles which use a chemical propellant (explosion of gun power to fire a bullet and burning of liquid fuel to propel the missile) to gain high velocities until the point of impact. The principle of conservation of momentum explains the projection. As the initial momentum is zero, the backward momentum of the chemical propellant is equal to the forward momentum of the missile/bullet,…

goes through the air it keeps a velocity that is relatively similar to what velocity it started with. The form drag would be greater on a knuckleball than a back spinning ball, because there is no spin giving diverse air pressure levels and creating a small air pocket. With the knuckleball there will be an air pocket which creates further turbulence behind the ball with the drag being greater because of this, but not causing a large enough effect to slow the velocity enough. Knuckleballs are…

Fig.\ref{Str_1_T} compares the jet trajectory measurement for the open nozzle configuration at the two blower velocities. Fig.\ref{Str_1_W} compares the weight distribution along the centerline axis, normalized with respect to the total mass distributed. Fig.\ref{Profiles_1}.a shows the centerline profile of the straw distribution on the ground, normalized to their respective maximum weights and Fig.\ref{Profiles_1}.b shows the jet spreading along curvilinear trajectory $\zeta$.…
