    Practical Investigation 1: Circular Motion Aim of the experiment: To study the relationship between the centripetal force FC and the period of the rotation in a uniform circular motion Hypothesis: F is inversely proportional to T^2 which causes circular motion Apparatus and Materials: Electronic balance, weights and weight hanger, paper clip, meter ruler, plastic handle, string, stopwatch and rubber stopper Theory: The rubber stopper maintains a uniform circular motion provided by the force Fc

  • The Movement of an Object During Circular Motion

    in a circular motion that they want to move outwards, away from the centre but still carry on going in a circle. He called this force creating the above movement pattern Centripetal Force. This experiment shows how when we are in a car, on a roller coaster or on the swings at a fun fair, the Centripetal force causes us to move outward and away from the centre but also keeps us in circular motion. Investigative question Hypothesis What is the movement of an object during circular motion? Variables

  • Centripetal Force Lab Report

    1350 Words  | 3 Pages

    Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to study the nature of Centripetal force by measuring it acting on a mass undergoing angular motion and centripetal acceleration. In this experiment we will evaluate relationship between Centripetal Force, mass, and velocity. Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path which is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. The apparatus used for this experiment contains a vertical shaft fit into a bearing

  • The Physics of Riding Bulls

    1790 Words  | 4 Pages

    bulls. Fast bulls are the hardest to ride. Typically, a bull can move much faster that a human making it difficult for the rider to keep up. There are basically three types of motions that a bull can make: linear, circular, and rotational. Linear motions include the rare, kick, jump, and just plain running. Circular motions include spinning. Rotational m... ... middle of paper ... ...ay at the center point of the circle. Some bulls can do so many random and different moves so fast that the rider

  • St. Thomas Aquinas’ First Two Ways in Proving the Existence of God

    5036 Words  | 11 Pages

    believe God on faith alone. Aquinas’ first way is based on motion. He calls it the most obvious way. This first argument, the Argument from Motion, tries to prove the existence of God as the first mover which is unmoved. Now, it is certain as a matter of sense-observation that some things in this world are in motion. Whatever is in motion, Aquinas states, is moved by something else. Aquinas then defines one type of motion as the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality

The general role of biomechanics is to understand the mechanical cause-effect relationships that determine the motions of living organisms. In relation to sport, biomechanics contributes to the description, explanation, and prediction of the mechanical aspects of human exercise, sport and play. (TopEndSports, 2013) Subroutines: 1.

    “The Circular Ruins” by Jorge Luis Borges “Green is derived from blue and green will become more brilliant than blue” Chinese Proverb The Chinese have a proverb about the evolution of humanity, and in particular, the nature of intellectual relationships. Although the color green is composed from the color blue, it often shines with a more brilliant luster than its predecessor does. This is a metaphor for the pupil and teacher. The pupil learns knowledge from his teacher, but will outgrow

  • Andrew Jackson and the Bank War

    The validity of President Andrew Jackson’s response to the Bank War issue has been contradicted by many, but his reasoning was supported by fact and inevitably beneficial to the country. Jackson’s primary involvement with the Second Bank of the United States arose during the suggested governmental re-chartering of the institution. It was during this period that the necessity and value of the Bank’s services were questioned. The United States government in 1816 chartered the Second Bank of the United

    intellectual models in his writing, one of which is George Berkeley’s subjective idealism. In "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," Borges paints a picture of a perfect reality governed by Berkeley’s idea that matter only exists in perception, and in "The Circular Ruins," he presents a man who creates a boy who cannot exist independent of his perception. However, by employing Berkeley’s logic in these stories, Borges is in fact denying Berkeley’s ultimate purpose: the justification of the existence of God

    Total Synthesis of CP Compounds Man's fascination with the many uses that can be found with the exploitation of natural substances has been demonstrated time and again throughout history, but the stage was set at the turn of the century for organic chemists to begin to focus on utilizing natural compounds for the benefit of medicinal and industrial uses. The discoveries of penicillin, aspirin, and other naturally occurring useful compounds in the earlier parts of the century set the stage for

  • Tragic Death of a Young Boy in Frost's Poem Entitled Out, Out

    “Out, Out” is a graphic and emotional poem about the tragic death of a young boy. It is a powerful expression about the shortness of life and the fact that death can strike at any time. ¹ The fact that the boy’s death came right before he could “call it a day” leads one to think that the tragedy could have been avoided (line 10). This poem brings the question of mortality to the reader’s attention and shows that death does not discriminate. It could strike at any time no matter who the person is

    “The Man Who Was Almost A Man” is a disappointing story, written by Richard Wright, that reveals the sad truth about how people tend to define themselves by what they own of tangible power such as money or weapons. In the story Dave did the same. He defined himself as a man when he bought the gun. I think most people, especially in their teenage years, just like Dave, start to believe that they are adults. They do what they think is right, but they end up paying the prices of their mistakes. The

  • Introduction to Linear Motion Graphs

    Introduction to linear motion graphs The change of location of an object along a straight line and can be described using a single spatial dimension is called linear motion. It can be uniform or non-uniform, that is, constant velocity or variable velocity. The motion of particle can be described in terms of X with time T. A very good example for linear motion is a ball throwing down and up straightly. Plotting of graphs under linear motion is called Linear motion graphs. Here we study about two

    is a somewhat rare occurrance. On the average we get a naked-eye comet once every five or six years and this includes comets that become barely visible to the naked eye. Classic comets with long tails only appear about once every 10-12 years. The motion is very difficult to detect and comparing its place with naked-eye stars over several days is the only way to see it move. In general, comets are best observed with telescopes or binoculars. What are They? Comets are primarily composed of ice and

Changes in the Earth's spin are measured in terms of length of days. A faster spin shortens the length of daylight. "Due to the reservoir effect," (Chao).

    Construction Construction is a necessary art form that requires vision, which calls upon the use of tools and provides shelter from the extreme environment. These processes call upon the use of tools and material. Construction is a main ingredient to building. If they do not have it, you cannot make anything and if they do they can make a lot of things. We have schools, homes and office buildings for us today. Carpentry Technology predicts that a novice should have the provided space for the project
