Velocity

area on the bat that is right in the center of the barrel of the bat. Hitting the ball on the sweet spot of the bat will make that ball go farther. Velocity of the thrown ball will also affect how far and how hard the ball comes off of the bat. Velocity is the rate of an object and the direction it goes. Speed is the distance between an object, and velocity is distance traveled by an object per unit time in a particular direction. There is a ton of physics that goes into baseball and is why…

Stimulus artifact is a signal that is produced due to an electric pulse present between two electrodes, which is recorded using the cathode ray oscilloscope (Johnson and Byrne, 2003). As the stimulus intensity begins to increase, the stimulus artifact also increases (Johnson and Byrne, 2003). Thus, the change in stimulus artifact allows the compound action potential (CAP) to appear (Johnson and Byrne, 2003). As it can be seen in the figures there’s a delay in time between the stimulus artifact…

Because of inertia and gravity the roller coaster has acceleration which according to "The Physics Classroom" is the rate at which an object changes velocity. When the coaster is under a negative slope (going downwards) the gravity naturally pulls the front of the car towards the ground, it keeps moving because of inertia and accelerates 9.8m/s/s due to gravity pulling it towards the ground and the opposite…

The trebuchet was used to hurl large stones at castles in the medieval era. The trebuchet was a new war machine that terrorized castles throughout the British isles. With it’s origin dating back to China in 300 B.C., the trebuchet was used primarily by the French until the twelfth century. During the Siege of Dover, the French attacked the British stronghold at Dover. Once King Edward the first of Britain laid his eyes on this weapon he knew he must construct one for Britain. He told his master…

collecting of beet extracts. The first experiment performed looked at how different enzyme concentrations effect the rate at which a reaction will occur. It was hypothesized that as the amount of beet extract in each sample decreased, the initial velocity would decrease. The purpose behind the second experiment was to see how varying pH levels effect the activity of enzymes, which in this case was peroxidase. We hypothesized that there would be an optimal pH seen at about a pH of 7. The third…

From TV shows to textbooks, I have heard about the importance of air resistance ad nauseam. Mythbusters taught me about how air resistance prevents pennies dropped from the Empire State Building in New York from killing innocent people. My textbook taught me about the importance of drag in preventing Felix Baumgartner from reaching speeds that would physically break him. However, throughout my entire physics career, air resistance was never included in projectile motion. The concept of…

An impact basin or impact crater is defined as the circular depression in the surface of a solid body in the solar system such as moon or some other planet. A lunar impact basin is a depression / cavity caused by a meteor or comet hitting the Moon with a greater speed. Impact basins typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding surface. There are over 40 impact basins on the Moon. These basins were created by extremely powerful impacts, which usually…

work and nothing to show. That’s how it was for early sailors, they had trouble keeping track of how fast they were going, when it changed , and where they sailed. To solve this they had a Traverse Board an early “computer” for logging the ship’s velocity, which is it’s speed and direction. This affected Transoceanic exploration (T.O.E) because it would help sailors find shorter routes for sailing, kept track of where they went to prevent getting lost, and helped with making maps.…

The physics of the game involves the starting speed of the ball and its velocity so that if the pitcher throws the ball harder – the batter will have fewer chances to score a home-run. The reason for that relies on the fact that the batter has to overcome the starting speed of the ball which travels in the opposite direction…

internet, businesses are struggling to cope up with large volume of data they collect (Whittaker, 2012) VELOCITY Velocity of data refers to the speed at which data is generated that is the speed of data input and output. More fast data is generated more efficiently and quickly it can meet demands and challenge for growth and development. Due to the increase in machine generated data in millisecond velocity of data has become important aspect for example cell phone providers that generate GPS…
