Aim: How does the circumference of 5 different sized ball bearings affect the time it takes to reach the end of the V-ramp? Justify: The reasoning for looking at this experiment was when I was in the car going down a steep hill, and was wondering if the bigger the wheel of the car with the same mass if I would reach the bottom faster than if I had smaller wheels on the axel. Hypothesis: The larger the circumference of the bearings, the faster it would roll down the v-ramp as the force is pushing behind the larger amount of surface as well as completing one full turn rather than smaller turns to make a whole. Independent variable Dependent variable The circumference (cm) of the ball bearings. Measured time to calculate speed. Distance/Time …show more content…
Keep the ball bearings inside of the plastic container and not pour them out all over the work bench. Method: Place all of the following onto your work bench: 5 different sized circumference ball bearings inside 1 plastic container (so they do not roll all over the bench, onto the floor or down the sink), a stopwatch, 15cm string, a black texta and an electronic balance. Lean the 2.17 m v-ramp on the side of the bench on a diagonal so the other end is being blocked by something sturdy such as a wall or side of another bench. Place the container onto the scales and take out all five of the bearings and hold them in your hand whilst pressing the tare button on the electronic balance to take it to zero. Place one of your bearings to see the mass, record it and take it out. Repeat this for each individual bearing making sure to press tare every time to receive an accurate …show more content…
Let go of the ball and start the timer, when it hits the bottom stop the timer. Repeat this 3 times for each of your other ball bearings to minimize any measurement errors. After this you need to measure the circumference of each ball bearing. To do this hold one end of the 15cm string and wrap it around the ball once till the end meets with the string again. Take your black marker and draw a dot or a line so that it is visible when you measure. For accurate measuring do this one more time. Take the piece of string and measure it against the 1 meter ruler (a 30cm ruler will do just fine) and repeat for the other 4 ball bearings. Qualitative Results: When releasing the ball bearing it was really hard to tell the difference in time between all 5 ball bearings.

Baseball is a fascinating sport that is exceptionally fun to play. This assignment is all about understanding the physics of a few key aspects of this sport. One might ask what physics could have to do with baseball? Like most sports baseball involves physical motion. Baseball encompasses all three planes of motion through throwing, hitting, and fielding. All of the classical laws of mechanics can be applied to understand the physics of this game.

friction, affecting the speed and distance the ball rolls. Title: The Effects of Height, Length, Surface, Weight, Size, and Material on the Distance a Ball Rolls Down a Ramp Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the factors that affect the distance a ball rolls when released from the top of a ramp. Variables:
They use a special kind of rubber called butyl rubber. A machine helps to write on the balls to put the letters on it. Some balls are made with higher quality thread.
time graph, and an acceleration vs. time graph. We made graphs with our information from the 4cm and 6cm inclines and excluded our information from the 2cm incline since our data was not very accurate for that specific trial. It was most likely not very accurate because the incline was so small that it did not really have an effect on the ball. We found the velocity from our data by using the formula change in distance/change in time, and then found the acceleration by taking the change in velocity/change in time. After creating our graphs with the data, we found the position time graph was an upward curve. This makes since because as the time increases, the distance the ball has traveled increases at a higher rate. The graphs for the velocity resemble a diagonal line, a constant rate. This makes sense because as the time increases, the velocity increases at a constant rate. For example, the ball is moving at a higher velocity at 3 seconds than it was at 1 second. We also found that as the incline increases, the velocity increases. The ball goes faster as it rolls down the incline because of acceleration. The graphs for acceleration should be a constant number, a straight horizontal line on a graph. We know this because if you take

Roller screws are accustomed remodel rotary movement into linear movement and the other way around. The bearing components are threaded rollers positioned between the screw and therefore the nut. The massive variety of contact points permits roller screws to support terribly high loads. The roller screw is comparable to the ball screw with the distinction that the load transfer components are threaded rollers. When put next to standard ball screws, have the subsequent advantages: the most advantage of roller screws is that they need an outsized variety of contact points to support the load with higher permissible static and dynamic load capability. Due to the larger variety of contact points the bearing perform is ensured by uniform spreading of load over the threaded rollers rather than balls just in case of ball screws. It's higher mechanics and dynamics in operating condition, generates less vibration and lower noise. The transmission exactitude of PRS is higher and may add a lot of more durable condition. Because to these compensation, a lot of analysis on roller screw has been administrated, and therefore the roller screw has been utilized in the medical, aerospace, military, assembly, Food and drink, Plastics, textiles and machine tools industries.
