Paper Bullets Experiment: Data Analysis The scientific question that was investigated by the paper bullets experiment asked, “Does the width of a paper bullet affect the distance it travels when it is launched?” The hypothesis that goes along with that question is, “If a paper bullet has a larger width, then it will travel a shorter distance than a standard paper bullet with a width of 4cm.” Variables in this experiment included the independent variable (width of the starting piece of paper used
However, this excludes the mass of the vehicle itself. Thus, highway departments post road signs which stated the speed at which vehicles ought to make the turn, but these signs do not need to include particular explanations with respect to the weight of given models. REAL LIFE
distinguished scale where one would expect that typical quantum-gravity effects can never be neglected. This scale is found if one combines the gravitational constant (G), the speed of light (c), and the quantum of action (ħ) into units of length, time, mass (and energy).These are called the Plank unit.
Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics to the study of air movement together. It is a subfield of fluid dynamics and gas, and the term "drag" is often used to refer to the gas dynamics. The earliest records of the basic concepts of aerodynamics on the work of Aristotle and Archimedes in the third and second centuries BC, but the efforts to find a quantitative theory of airflow develop until the 18th century, beginning in 1726 was Isaac Newton as one of the first in modern aerodynamics mind when he
Abstract The purpose of carrying out this experiment was to investigate the phenomenon of Newtons’s Rings, to gain a better understanding of the theory Newton developed as well as to calculate the radius of curvature of a plano-convex lens and the thickness of a section of optical fibre. The effect is named after Isaac Newton who first studied it in 1717. The pattern observed appears as a series of concentric bright and dark fringes, which has its centre at the point of contact between two surfaces
What is trampolines? A trampoline is a device consisting of a piece of taut, strong fabric stretched over a steel frame using many coiled springs. The fabric that users bounce on commonly known as the ‘bounce mat’ or ‘trampoline bed’. And is not elastic in itself; the elasticity is provided by the springs that connect it to the frame, which store potential energy. People bounce on trampolines for recreational and competitive purposes. It is said that the trampoline was first developed by an artist
Sir Isaac Newton born in January 4, 1643 and he died in March 31, 1727 was an English physicist, philosopher, inventor, alchemist and mathematician, he described the law of universal gravitation and established the bases of the Classic Mechanics by means of the laws that take its name. The other scientific discoveries that he have are the work on the nature of light and optics and the development of mathematical calculus but I’m doing this proyect for writing about the three laws of motion so I
biped robot prosthetic should be designed as a free-falling manipulator with no fixed ground. It has the Body Position Reference Generator with a position reference to the mass center of the prosthetic which is sent as input to body posture controller that determines the limbs position of the prosthetic in relation to the mass center by taking consideration of the force exerted by the body and the environment. It has a reactive force controller that regulates the amount of force created by the robot
The results of this experiment support our hypothesis that a two-foot vertical jump did indeed generate a greater amount of impulse. However, we based our hypothesis on the assumption that a one-foot vertical jump would produce a lower amount of force in comparison to a two-footed jump on the basis of muscle use. Interestingly enough, that was not exactly the case. The average amount of force produced in a two-foot jump was 777.76 N, whereas a one-foot jump actually produced an average force of
An Introduction To Forklifts About each distribution center has a forklift - an apparatus equipped for lifting a huge number of pounds. A forklift is a vehicle like a little truck that has two metal forks on the front used to lift freight. The forklift administrator drives the forklift forward until the forks push under the load, and can then lift the freight a few feet noticeable all around by working the forks. The forks, otherwise called cutting edges or tines, are typically made out of steel
The planar motion of the two adjacent body segments can be described by the concept of the instant center of motion. As one body segment rotates about the other, at any instant, there is a point that does not move. This point has zero velocity and acts as a center of rotation. This technique yields a description of motion at one point only and is not applicable if motion of 15 degree or greater exists in other planes. When the instantaneous center of rotation is at the contact point between femur
Fitness is an important part of a healthy life. It is defined as the condition of being physically fit. It is important, because when a person is fit, they are capable of living life to its fullest. People who are physically fit are less prone to becoming ill, and it reduces your risk for many medical conditions. How you stay fit is different for everyone. Calisthenics and weight lifting, while similar in many ways simply because they’re both about being physically active, are vastly unalike. Calisthenics
different kinds of energy, the two main ones are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has while it is motion. The faster an bject moves the more kinetic energy it has. The kinetic energy increases as its mass increases. Potential energy is stored energy, which means that an object can have energy even if it is not in motion. Some other forms of this energy include gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and chemical potential energy.
Throughout many years, roller coasters have been main attraction for events and places like amusement parks and county fairs. Famous roller coaster are part of iconic landmarks such as Coney Island, Disneyworld, and many other major tourism attractions throughout the world. As millions of people ride these high-speed thrill rides, they are probably not thinking about how the coaster is going so fast, or how they did not just fall out of their seat at that last loop? The most basic concept that can
I. Title: Mass and Mole Relationships in a Chemical Reaction II. Background: Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. Amount in percent of one product formed in chemical reaction. Actual yield is the information found is experiments or is given. It is also the real amount. Theoretical yield is found through a mathematical equation. The amount produced is another way of identifying theoretical yield. The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used in the reaction
Does the size of a parachute affect the falling rate and safety of an object? A parachute is a device used to slow down an object that is falling towards the ground. Without a parachute the gravity is more than air resistance. But as the parachute opens, the Air resistance increases. Now air resistance is more than gravity. Using a parachute is safer because instead of falling straight down at an extremely fast speed they would be used to slow one down, with a risk of fewer injuries. one would
In a Rube Goldberg experiment you can find many different physics concepts woven into its complicated transitions and exciting outcomes. During our experiment we used Gravitational potential energy, Kinetic energy, Momentum, mechanical energy, and elastic potential energy (among other things) to make this experiment happen. Our experiment started out with a type writer’s tab bar being pushed to push a car down a ramp, the typewriter has potential energy before the key is pushed as does the car. When
gravitational force pulled it towards the ground which leaves the first bounce lower than the drop and every bounce it gets lower until it is at a still motion on the ground because of the gravitational force. The patterns in the data is, that if there is less mass the ball will bounce higher because the gravitational potential energy is lower which allows the balls elastic energy to be used to its maximum. The hypothesis is supported by the data because when the ball was increased in height the bounce was higher

How Mass affects Acceleration down an Incline Sabeena Jagdeo, Brianna O'Donnell, Alec Wigdahl Problem Statement: In this lab some friends are wondering if a roller coaster's acceleration will decrease with less mass in the roller coaster. The purpose is to test whether the mass of the roller coaster impacts its acceleration. Prediction: The roller coasters acceleration will stay constant whether the mass of the roller coaster changes our not. This is true because acceleration is represented
