Gravity is the force that attracts matter together (Northwestern). When an object is under the influence of gravity it is referred to as a free fall object. Two things that always remain true about free fall objects on earth are their acceleration is always at 9.8 m/s/s and they never encounter air resistance. It is…
Purpose The purpose of this lab was to evaluate the increase in velocity with time during a free fall. Also, to determine the position from the start of the fall. Hypothesis It is hypothesized that the object that is dropped will endure gradual change acceleration in acceleration. The acceleration for the object in the velocity…
March 14 1879 – April 18 1955 Born: Ulm, Germany. Died: Princeton, USA. Albert Einstein was a very famous scientist; he was mostly famous for his theory of Relativity. In 1894 Einstein’s family moved to Milan and Einstein decided officially to relinquish his German citizenship in favor of Swiss. In 1895 Einstein failed an examination…
Purpose To see how the acceleration of a cart depends on the resultant force acting on the cart and the mass of the cart, and how this relation can be expressed in a single equation. We hypothesized that with a constant mass of the system (a decrease in cart mass) and an increased net force,…
Introduction In physics, any increase or decrease in velocity is referred to as acceleration or deceleration. The rate of acceleration is measured in m/s² or km/m/s respectively. The average acceleration of an object can be derived from the formula: Purpose To identify the correlation between the movement of the cart and the appearance…
