Velocity

of the distance vs. time graph along with the velocity vs. time graph, accurately supports the hypothesis formed at the beginning of this experiment. From the interpretation of the first graph, the chart vaguely shows the changing velocity (acceleration) as well as positive velocity of the objects motion (as seen from the slight curve upwards). However, from another perspective, it might seem as if the diagram is showing a constant, positive velocity as the line is linear with no curved…

Three tests are done through a Gizmo to determine how radius, mass, and velocity affects centripetal acceleration of an object undergoing uniform motion. The results show centripetal acceleration is affected by radius and velocity but not mass. It gives a better understanding to why objects in uniform motion accelerate towards the centre of a circle. Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine how the radius, mass and speed of an object can affect the centripetal acceleration of the…

Renatta Oyles car driving down 84th street like she is has a velocity of a leftward direction and a leftward direction for acceleration. Velocity is defined as the speed of an object that is going in a certain direction. In this case her velocity is in a leftward direction because she is starting on the right and her car is moving to the left. She is starting on the right because in the diagram is shows that she was stopped on the right and those are the first dots in the diagram because she…

All moving massive objects possess this property of momentum, a quantity proportional to the mass of the object times its velocity. Momentum is what allows objects to exert forces; it is the mechanism whereby two objects in a collision can influence one another. When two objects collide, they both enter the collision with some momentum – both have some mass and some velocity – both leave with some momentum; however, the total momentum of the system before impact cannot exceed the total momentum…

concerned about his maximum height, horizontal and vertical displacement and the speed required to perform a perfect jump with a double axel. A figure skater’s trajectory can be determined by the initial takeoff angle of the ice skate’s blade, initial velocity, and the initial height of the takeoff. The peak of the figure skater’s vertical displacement is also known as the figure skater’s maximum value due…

because projectiles have a constant velocity, resulting in no horizontal acceleration. The y component of acceleration is a constant -9.8 m/s2 in relation to the gravitational force acting on the projectile. Why does the x component of velocity remain constant? The x component of velocity remains constant because since the horizontal acceleration is 0, then the x component of velocity (horizontal velocity) must be constant. The expression for horizontal velocity at any time is vx=c, and as you…

Introduction: Every company wants to improve the quality of their product which in turn will increase the market potential of their product. Food companies are also among those companies those have always tried to develop new ways to provide fresh and healthy foods to their customers. In this process, they have to face some difficulties. These difficulties usually happen in the sorting phase of foods. Everyone knows after the passage of time, every food item loses its freshness. As a result, it…

spark timer, the timer was turned and the car was pulled back and then released. In a perfect world, a distance-time graph of this perfect constant acceleration would have a curved line that gets steeper as time increases. On the other hand, the velocity-time graph would be a straight line with a…

Finding values like these can help create a space shuttle simulation for future launches. We can use these values along with the mass, velocity, time, etc. to create something that will help us create safer launches for future operations. From this example, you can see that there is calculus out there in the world in everything you may do, whether it is as complex as a space shuttle being…

By finding the area underneath the velocity versus time graph and by adding up all the displacement intervals gave values near each other. This means that there are two ways to calculate displacement using a velocity versus time graph. Experimental Uncertanties There were several experimental uncertanties accountered in the accelerated motion lab. Firstly, the presence of air resistance. As the object traveled down the ramp increasing its velocity, air resistance increased which affected the…
