To do this experiment you will need two subjects that have different arm lengths. In this experiment Subject 1 had an arm length of .81 meters and Subject 2 had an arm length of .77 meters. It is crucial that the subjects have different arm lengths because if they don’t your results will be invalid. The first step in this experiment is to set up the camera using the tripod and insert an SD card. Next, position the camera perpendicular to the sagittal plane along the x-axis in regards to the…
residual mean and the residual standard error. Residual Mean Residual Standard Error -2.665E-16 0.09601 2.2.2 Graph 4 and 5 After achieving a statistical method of displaying the relationship between the velocity that the truck was travelling and the time that the truck took to achieve that velocity. It has been displayed in Figure…
Diagram 1.6: Diagram showing tension force in the string (from 0 cm increasing in 1 cm until a displacement of 15 cm has been attained) This diagram shows the manner in which the tension force applied to the string was calculated. Starting at 0 centimeters, forces were provided in the string such that the string would extend one additional centimeter from the previous measurement. Using the Capstone® software, the force applied to the string was calculated at the given horizontal…
Report: Uniform Motion Table of Contents Background Information 1 Research Question 1 Hypothesis 1 Variables 1 Materials 2 Procedure 3 Background Information Motion is the change of position of an object with respect to time. The physical quantities velocity, acceleration, displacement, time and speed are used in the study of motion. If an object does not change position with respect to time, it is considered as stationary. Note that if an object is motionless, it does not necessarily mean that…
being dropped? Independent Variable: The height of release of the tennis ball Dependent Variable: The peak height of the bounce Controlled Variables: • The mass of the tennis ball • The tennis ball • Surface the ball is dropped on • The initial velocity…
In this experiment the main goal is to examine the correlation between position, velocity, time, and acceleration of objects, moving in one or two dimensions. Each and every experiment will be conducted under different conditions. For example, the first experiment requires a constant force (gravity) to act on the object, the picket fence. This experiments other condition is that we neglect friction. This object should be in nearly ideally circumstances. In the second experiment, the conditions…
measurements to figure out the uncertainty of the time measured, the final velocity and acceleration of the car on the ramp. The initial velocity was zero since the car started at rest. We then calculated our downward acceleration to get our measured acceleration due to gravity. Then we determined the percent difference between our measured value and the actual value of gravitational velocity. After that, we predicted the velocity that would come from the cart travelling a further distance with…
affected by displacement (the final difference in position), instantaneous initial velocity and instantaneous final velocity (the rate of change in position), acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) and time. Each of these variables are interrelated as one can be calculated as long as three others are known. Newton’s…
What does the slope of a V vs T graph tell you? How do you know? The slope of the velocity versus time graph shows how as time passes, the velocity either increases or decrease or stays the same. This would also be called the acceleration of the object, which makes sense, given that slope is the delta y (velocity, cm/s) divided by delta…
In the chapter Kinematics of Particles, we studied about various relations among time, position, velocity and acceleration of a particle. When we have a relation between any two parameters, we can calculate remaining parameters. In Kinetics of Particles, we applied Newton’s second law of motion ƩF = ma. The fundamental concept is when external forces acting on a particle are balanced (zero resultant), the particle will be in equilibrium. But when external forces acting on a particle are not…
