    on the other hand, occurs on the surface of the skin, specifically at the interface between skin and device. As the skin’s coefficient of friction increases, greater force is required to cause sliding of the skin on the surface. However, a problem arises when the amount of force required to cause sliding overtakes the amount of force the skin is able to handle without breaking. When this happens, the epidermis begins to strip and tear, paving the path for the development of more serious complications

    Newton’s first law explains an object in motion stays in motion unless a net force acts on it and an object in rest stays at rest. Our balloon car followed that law. While it was waiting to go it stayed exactly where it was, until we put the air from the balloon out onto the car. The car went across the floor until it became to a stop, because of the friction between the car and floor acting on the car. For this reason, I feel four features that you need to have a successful car are 2 wheels, something

    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. GENERAL A beam-column joint is a very significant zone in reinforced concrete framed structure where the elements are interconnect in all three directions. Joints ensure stability of a structure and transmit forces that are present at the ends of the members. In reinforced concrete structures, failure in a beam often occurs at the beam-column joint, making the joint one of the most important sections of the structure. Abrupt change in geometry and intricacy of stress distribution

    determine the acceleration of the weights of an Atwood’s Machine, both experimentally and theoretically. We will attempt to verify Newton’s Second law which is a mathematical statement relating force, mass, and acceleration.  Newton’s Second law states that acceleration, a, is directly related to net force, F, and inversely related to mass, m. Naturally this give F=ma.  Using the Atwood’s Machine experimental acceleration data (for 10 different runs with 10 different combinations of masses) will be
