Recommended: Physics of cars

In this lab, we experimented how the incline of a ramp affects the acceleration of the toy car. In this experiment, we sent a toy car down 3 different ramps at 3 different heights. All 3 of the ramps had the same length of about 3.065 meters to ensure accurate data. We had to record The number of Trials, time, final time, distance, final distance, velocity, final velocity, and acceleration. In our lab the Independent variable was the height of the ramp and the Dependent variable is the Acceleration of the car when going down the ramp. With the small ramp, the average time moving down the ramp was 3.58 seconds. Then the average acceleration for the small ramp was .26 m/ss. That was the slowest time and acceleration out of all 3 slopes. Up second

    The tennis ball is the constant variable factor (the variable that is kept the same, to make the investigation valid). The ball will dropped from increasing heights (cm-25, 50, 75,100,125,150,175,200) and the bounce of the ball will be measured. A sample size of 3 results will be taken from each height the ball is dropped. The same investigation will then be repeated, but one of the independent variables will be changed.

    On Tuesday in lab, we wanted to measure the velocity and acceleration of a ball rolling down an incline. To do this, we made our table have an incline by putting wood blocks under two legs of the table. We placed meter sticks on a table so we could determine the distance the ball traveled for a certain amount of time. We placed the ball at the 0cm mark on the meter stick and let go of the ball so it could roll down the table. To make our results more accurate, we videoed the ball rolling down the table with a stopwatch on our phone following the ball. We then went through the video and paused it at every 10cm and recorded the time it took for each 10cm interval from 0cm to 150cm. We did this experiment with 2cm, 4cm, and 6cm inclines to show

    This experiment was conducted to calculate the running movement and velocity of four people running in a straight line for 100 meters and compare them to the all-star Usain bolt. Usain bolt is the number one all-star ranking, the best and fastest runner ever. The things I could have improved on were that I didn’t really contribute that much to the experiment due to me being sick and non-present for the experiment itself. Things that I did well on were getting down all the results onto the Microsoft excel. The conclusions made from this experiment were that Usain blot is still faster than everyone else and the boys are still faster than the girls by a large amount.

    The terms velocity, speed, and acceleration are all very important concepts in physics. They all mean separate things and they have their own conceptual ideas, however they are also very similar. Velocity, speed, and acceleration are all rates of time, but two of them are vectors and one is a scalar, they are all physics concepts, but only one can be positive.
