of physics, a textbook excerpt, and the process of skydiving. As stated from above, unbalanced forces cause a change in velocity. As said by Isaac Newton, an object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (Newton, 1st Law of Physics/Motion, 1666). By this, Newton had meant the object would change velocity if acted upon by an unbalanced force. According to the Physical Science textbook

probably most famous for his discovery of the laws of motion which describe gravity for the first time. The laws of motion also described the force of an object depended on two things, mass and acceleration. With Newton’s help the modern world has been able to innovate and invent many things some that during Newton’s time was thought of as impossible. Isaac Newton was a scientific genius who was the first to describe gravity, he wrote three laws of motion, and finally helped modernize the world with the

Falling is a natural part of horseback riding, and will eventually happen to every equestrian. If a horse stumbles and the rider is not properly balanced or in equilibrium, it could cause the rider to fall. The horse’s sudden stumble causes the rider to begin to fall and it is gravity that pulls the rider to the ground. How bad the fall is could depend on the gear that the rider is wearing. Vests are worn to support the back and ribs and cushion the impact with the ground, and helmets are worn to

to instruments. One of the sports physics is involved in is softball. Newton’s first law states when an object is in motion it stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. This is the key element in softball. When the pitcher pitches the ball it travels on the path until the batter hits the ball. The softball travels through the air due to the seams (Bauer & Westfall, Motion of a Softball, 2010). The seams cause high and low pressure fronts while the grip determines how the ball will rotate

1) What was Galileo’s discontent with Aristotelian mechanics in De Motu? - According to Aristotelian philosophy, he believes that there is no effect without cause; therefore, there is no motion without a force. In this theory, an object that is falling down is known for the force that is cause by the weight and it is pushing down the object; however, the resistance is the medium such as air or water. The objects that fall are looking for their natural place; therefore, large objects contain greater

God that “moves” things when no human moves them. This idea was accepted by all physicists but some were brave enough to challenge it, and this is what Galileo did. This discovery was very useful to Isaac Newton in producing his universal laws of motion and gravity that we use

characteristics of periodic motion is its period. The period, T, is the time required to complete one full cycle of the motion. I chose a sprinkler because it takes approximately five seconds to move from maximum displacement in one direction to maximum displacement in the opposite direction. It again takes another five seconds to go back to the starting point. In this case it takes ten seconds to complete one cycle of oscillation, and the period is ten seconds. Since the sprinkler has a motion that repeats in

fall with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 towards the center of mass) , work (work is done on an object to set it in motion and give it speed), air resistance (A friction force that slows down the speed of an object), normal (perpendicular to surface and balances out the force of gravity) and contact force (One object comes in contact with another creating a force) and Newton's laws of motion (1. Velocity is constant if the sum of all forces acting on object is zero. 2. The sum of all

Gravity Lab The goal of the experiment was to identify the gravitational acceleration from the recorded distance(cm) vs time(sec) data of a fallen object. The first step was to graph the distance-time graph from the data collected. Upon graphing the data, the best fit line was identified in order to find the formula of the function. As the data is representative of a graphical parabola, a parabolic function was utilized to be the best fit trendline. The function Positon=404.289cm/s^2(t^s) + 44

Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. Gravity of the Earth pulls objects towards the center of the planet. Gravity or gravitational forces are forces of attraction. Mass: Every object in the universe that has mass exerts a gravitational pull, or force, on every other mass. The size of the pull depends on the masses of the objects. You exert a gravitational force on the people around you, but that force isn't very
