Mathematical Exploration : Investigating Forces And The Movement Of Objects

The initial examples of use of force continuum were developed in the 1980s and early

1. Find the westward component of a resultant vector 85.42 unit, 23º W of N.

First things first, what is force? Force is the interaction of the fundamental elements of our universe. The elements that form the basis of our material domain. These are the substances that cannot be reduced to smaller parts. Even though they originate from a single source, their foundation cannot be adequately verified outside the realms of experientially gained information. In spite of the fact that even then, they evade cognition through the mind or description through language. Our senses cannot yet perceive their all-pervading base (unless we are trained to do so or the occurrence is spontaneous but meets specific criteria and often occurs within certain

In the tennis serve Newton’s third law of motion is applied as the player performs a leg drive to the court to generate an equal and opposite reaction (Ackland, Elliott & Bloomfield, 2009, pp 314).

In this experiment, the signal generator was set so that the frequency meter showed a reading of 1,803 Hz. The microphone was moved to a distance from the speaker so that the oscilloscope displayed a straight diagonal line. This position was of the microphone was recorded as the initial position, or beginning of a wavelength. The microphone was then moved farther in the same direction until the oscilloscope displays the same horizontal line. This position was recorded as final position, or the end of the wavelength. The distance between the two positions represents one wavelength for this frequency. This was repeated for frequencies of 2,402 Hz, 3,002, Hz, 3,602 Hz, and 4,201 Hz.

The objective of this lab was to explore the behavior of centripetal acceleration and identify the relationships between the acceleration and several forces acting on the object.

Circular motion is one of the fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical world because it is so common. This interactive lets you examine the basic ideas of kinematics and forces for objects moving in circular motion.

However what is force? Also how does it impact the community? Use of force is defined in 7 levels, and used in the

I know a lot about what i talk about. Motion is when something is moving. Force is when you apply pressure to any given object. This is what I know about forces. A force is a “strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.

5. What’s really meant is that the forces are the same but going in different directions as a mirror image of one another. So when one force is going for example 2 newtons in a positive direction, the same amount is going in the opposite direction.

The main objective of this lab was to measure the friction force it takes to start moving a weighted block across a table, and as it continued to move. This force was tested experimentally in three separate ways. The force was then solved graphically and mathematically through six different runs per method. TALK ABOUT RESULTS HERE.

Gravity keeps us on this planet. If it didn’t then we would float away. But the sun’s gravity pulls us into orbit. 9 planets and dwarf planets go into orbit because of the sun’s gravity but the motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun and the Earth. The gravity from the moon pulls the water to make tides rise and fall regularly. When the moon passes over the ocean the sea level swells. When the moon passes over the ocean it causes the swell to move, making the tides move. It doesn’t matter what phase it is it will still always create the tides. (Andrew Rader Studios 2015, 'Motion:

Just about everything you do from moving to eating to listening to music involves physics. Now that I have really explored them I think it is hard to go about our day and not do something that involves physics. Some of the things I will talk about are getting out of bed, the eye and how eye glasses help a person see better, speakers, the Frisbee, sailing, and the pulleys I use to get my jeep unstuck in the mud when I ride in the woods.

When two objects get in contact with each other the force between them forms. Scientists call this force the frictional resistance, or friction. It occurs because of the imperfections in the surfaces of objects, the molecules of both surfaces interfere with each other creating a natural force between two objects. The friction opposes direction of motion of the object and is parallel to the surface on which the action takes place. The force and magnitude that are necessary to overcome friction can be calculated. Area of objects that is involved in the contact is disregarded when calculating friction.
