    Uniform Accelerated Motion Down an Inclined Plane Audrey LeClair Physics 130: Introduction to Physics 11 September 2015 Introduction: In physics, it is thought that when objects are placed under a pattern of uniform acceleration they will obey, v_f^2=v_i+at, or the equation of motion, according to the lab manual. Each of these variables has a direct meaning to the uniformed acceleration, where, v_f^2 is final speed, v_i is initial speed, a is acceleration, and t is time. According

    of the inclined plane have on the work input of the simple machine? Hypothesis: If the length of the incline plane increases then it will potentially take less force for the Aspire crew to lift and complete the task. The amount of work input varies on the length of the inclined plane the longer the ramp is, the less force will be needed to be exerted in order to lift the stone. Through a complete understanding of the concept through my research it is my understanding that the incline plane will decrease

    laws of motion and the inclined plane. The laws of motion are called newtons laws. There are three laws. These laws are an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is the law of inertia. The second law is F=ma and the third law is every action has an equal or opposite

    Lab 2 (10 points)Laboratory: Motion on an Inclined Plane. Objective: To determine the Force, Mass, Acceleration relationship on an inclined plane with friction. Hypothesis: Increasing the mass of the cart will decrease the acceleration. Materials: protractor, car, calculator, meter stick, weight(s) Procedure: Set the inclined ramp to θ= 15.8 Measure a length of 1.0 m. Place a 0.2 kg mass into the cart. Release the cart and measure the time to travel the 1m. Repeat with two additional

    I had the opportunity to take 2 hard college classes this year STEM, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine, studies and engineering, but I’m only going to talk about engineering because were eating lunch and I don’t think anyone wants to talk about diseases while they eat lunch. I had the privilege of being a leader of the varsity A robotics team. The robotics team creates and programs a robot made out of 3D printed parts and tetric pieces to complete a task and then compete

    freely falling objects. Unfortunately, his timing devices were not precise enough to measure the free fall time directly. He decided to “dilute” gravity by using fluids, inclined planes, and pendulums. Galileo’s idea of diluting gravity using inclined planes worked like this: the acceleration of a rolling cart on an inclined plane is small, therefore is easy to measure; when the angle of the incline gets bigger, the acceleration will get bigger; by measuring the dependence of the acceleration on

    Discussion The aim of the investigation was to determine the friction coefficient of different materials on an inclined steel plane. The main causes for opposing force of friction are molecular adhesion and surface type and the objective was to discover difference sin surface type of each of these materials: whether any existed, and if so the value of difference of each. The experiment was divided into two studies. In the first study (Activity One), four different materials Aluminum, Brass, Nylon

    uncertainty to fly alone and for the first time, or my inexperience with the procedures at the airport contributed to this calamity, but even my neighbor on the plane added his bit of sand in the affair. All this situation was such traumatic to me that I even considered never daring to fly again. The nightmare began long before I even set foot on the plane. To start, I was traveling from the international airport of Havana,

    slid on his new shoes and twisted the cold door knob, stepping into the crisp outside air and hurried to his car. Once he opened the car door he turned the air conditioner to the hottest setting. There was a very few things that David actually hated, planes, being alone, and the cold air that the air conditioner makes before it gets warm. The freezing air made David shiver, and it slowly transitioned into warm air, then hot air. David was full of joy and dread at the same time, he knew there was going

    born, we always went out to Texas to spend Christmas with them. We usually would drive a strenuous twelve hours, which made for a very tiring trip, for both me and my parents. However, this particular year, my parents decided to buy plane tickets. I had never been on a plane before, and I was not thrilled about it. Airplanes scared me to death, and I couldn’t help but think about all the things that could go wrong. I was
