If you pull a tablecloth very fast from underneath a table setting, given minimal friction, the dishes will not move from their original position. Describe this trick in terms of Newton's first law.
When you quickly pull a tablecloth from a set table, the items will remain in place on the table due to Newton’s first law regarding inertia and the tendency for objects that are at rest to remain at rest. When the cloth is pulled perpendicular to the force of gravity, and if the coefficient of friction is minimal, it should slide out from underneath the objects on the table, as long as it does not exert a force greater than the inertia keeping the objects at rest.
Are there any conditions you could impose on the demonstration

While driving your car, you make a sharp turn. Explain what happens to you in terms of Newton's laws of motion. What happens to the dingle balls hanging from the rearview mirror? Is a turning motion an example of Newton's first law?
When you make a sharp turn while driving, all of the objects present in the car will want to continue traveling in the initial direction of motion until an external force is applied to change the direction. This can been seen in the car by all of the objects swaying in that direction. For the example of dingle balls in the car, they will be moving around in the car with any directional changes it makes. Turning relates to Newton’s first law in the aspect that as you turn, your body’s motion in the car will continue forward until you are either restrained by the seat belt or you are pushed up against the side of the
A. How did the experiment in Part I demonstrate surface tension? Use your experiment observations when answering this question.
Newton’s Laws played a great part into the motion and function of our car. His first law is known as the law of inertia. Both inertia and friction were the driving forces to slow down the car, limiting the distance and lengthening the time as shown by the most successful run of the car, five meters in around eighteen
Newton’s second law is m= F/a. In my second augmentation the force of car is 5.44 m/s * 62.20 grams which is equal to 338.368 newtons. In the bottle car if you spin it too hard it spin in circles, because there is too much kinetic energy.
Before entering a sharp curve, the kinetic energy of the moving car is very high, to prepare for this curve, the driver can slow down the vehicle to reduce its kinetic energy to stay safe.
In this project groups had to drop an egg in a device they created from different heights and have the egg not crack. The group’s device and egg survived the ceiling drop, though it didn’t survive the foyer drop. To try and have the egg not crack the group had to use Newton’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws along with information on momentum and impulse momentum. These laws explain why the group designed the device the way they did and why the egg cracked when dropped from the foyer.
Kevin is traveling in the middle lane probably going about the speed limit, he is traveling extremely close to the bus or actually riding the line(we’ll come back to that). Anyhow, he sees the car turning, and hits his breaks, he slows down a bit, I assume only has time to make that correction since he‘s traveling at over 18 ft per second. He hits the CRV with his front tire somewhere along the rear passenger side door(impossible for me to tell from the photos,since he took the door off with him) and then since there is still has quite a bit of momentum behind the front wheel, the bike’s back end literally has to pivot one way or the other in accordance with the front wheel hitting the car. The bike swings to the right and hits the car a fraction of a second later swinging it flush and against both passenger side doors. The car continues on toward the curb and the motorcycle, Kevin and the door remain at the point of
Turning the wheel to avoid the deer may result in a worse accident with another car, or cause the car to spin out of control resulting a in much more serious crash” (“Deer Accident Statistics”).
When two objects are not moving parallel to each other static friction occurs. Static friction is the force required to get something to start moving and the coefficient of static friction is μs. According to Leonardo Da Vinci friction is a force that is proportional to load , opposite to the motion and independent to the surface area. When the frictional resistance between two surfaces are constant over a large range of low speeds they are moving with respect with one another, this is called kinetic
The First Law of Isaac Newton’s laws of motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest until acted on by larger force. When the object is at rest it is called inertia. Objects in motion will stay in motion until stopped by a larger force. What this simply means is that an object will not move if an unbalanced force does not affect it. It also states that if the object begins to move, that the object will continue to move in the same direction until a larger force stops the object. Example if you were to put a dodge ball on a computer chair (roll able chair) and were to roll the chair the dodge ball and the chair would be moving in the same direction. If you were to stop the chair, the dodge ball would fling
Depression is defined by the DSM-IV as a mental disorder characterized by sustained depression of mood, anhedonia, sleep and appetite disturbances, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, and hopelessness. Depressive symptoms such as the mere inability to experience pleasure and loss of energy persisting for longer than two weeks are usually enough to indicate an affective disorder (Hirschfeld 2014). There are significant variations in presentations and diagnosis criteria, but regardless of the classification of depressive states (Major (Unipolar), Bipolar, Dysthymia, Atypical, SAD, Postpartum), it is agreed upon that pharmacological interventions are sometimes required: to alleviate debilitating symptoms and improve patients’ quality of life. The interest in depression medications reflects the gravity of the disease i.e. its ability to psychologically impair lives and lead to suicide.
Discuss the fact that the fuller gallon used force to pull the half-gallon further from the floor. It was able to do this because the force of gravity was applied to the full gallon.
Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a
Newton's first law in laymen terms is 'An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless the object is acted upon by an outside force.' You would feel the law if you were in a fast moving car, lets say 70 mph, which suddenly comes to a stop. You would continue to move forward (If you didn?t have a seat belt on) but the car would come to a stop. You would then continue to move through the air at 70 mph until you hit
“Acceleration is a vital law of motion that is described as “the rate of change of velocity per unit of time; Rate of change means the ratio of the amount of change divided by how much time it took to change.” (The Physics Classroom, 2016). This law of motion will be tested and displayed by rolling a car down a ramp and recording the acceleration of the car is it descends the ramp. The speed/velocity of the car will gradually increase by the same amount every second. The steeper the slope (the bigger the angle of inclination of the ramp) that the car is rolling down, the faster the car will accelerate. This is because the amount of gravity experienced is dependent on the angle of the slope.
The first animation shows the first law of motion well. The law says that something will stay in motion until acted on by an unbalanced force. With this animation the test tube figure was skate boarding fine until he came
