    horizontal. The velocity can be found using the kinematic equation v2=2ax, where a is the acceleration and x is the length of the ballista that the projectile is accelerated upon. Since F=ma and F in this case is -kd, the equation can be simplified into v2=2-kdx/m. After it is released, the projectile obeys the laws of projectile motion, disregarding air resistance. Therefore, the range of the ballista can be given by the equation R=v2sin2q/g, where g is the accleration due to gravity.

    The Three Laws of Motion The three laws of motion were founded by an English mathematician names Sir Isaac Newton. He explained the three laws of motions by using his scientific inquiry. All the laws of motions are physics, which is physical science. Without these laws of motion, we would not know how to explain why things move or not. Also e wouldn’t know how to be safe. Each law of motion is very different from the others and is very specific in terms of explanation. For example, one of the laws

    mathematics. Isaac Newton is often referred to as the “father of science,” an honorary name. Newton’s work has greatly impacted not only the ways we study and use science, but our everyday lives as well. For example, Newton also discovered the laws of motion (force, inertia, reaction), gravity, and light’s components. His work was studied using experiments that questioned the natural world and tested hypotheses. His system of calculus showed extreme thinking and high intelligence. Newton’s life and work

    force applied to it. Fluids such as Gases & liquids in motion are generally referred to as “Flow”. Flow tells about how fluids behave and how they interact with their surrounding environment. 1.2 Fluid Dynamics: Fluid dynamics is the sub-discipline of Fluid Mechanics which in turn the sub-discipline of Continuum Mechanics. Fluid Mechanics dealt with the study of motion and the effect of motion of fluids [liquids &Gases] as Fluid motions are responsible for most of the transport of the pollutants

    that” and the bully continues to egg him on. He then launches the bully in the air. this motion it is not a real motion in our universe. However, hypothetically speaking the motion of the flying bully is a uniformly accelerated motion. The value of the acceleration is gravity= 10 m/s^-2 and it’s direction is always vertically downward. In the video the bully’s time of falling is twenty-three seconds long. The equation I used is : s(t)=v(0)t + 1/2 at^2 At the maximum height v(0)

    objects. There are four equations that can be used in both one-dimensional kinematics and two-dimensional kinematics. These equations are as follows: v=u+at s=ut+12at2 v2=2as+u2 s=(u+v) t2 Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration (gravity in most cases), t = time, and s = displacement. Each equation can be used by plugging in values. For example, a ball is thrown off of a building. Its velocity 5 seconds after being thrown can be found with the equation v = u + at. v = 0

    ramp had the same exact effect on the horizontal velocity. When the length of the ramp was 0.3050 meters, the horizontal velocity was at 0.86 m/s2. Yet, when the length decreased to 0.2400, the horizontal velocity decreased to 0.67 m/s2. The second equation used in the lab, vx= x/t, was able to represent the relationship between the velocity of x and the x direction. The farther the ball traveled in the x direction, the greater the velocity of x was. This is obvious due to the fact that time was a constant

    Born in 1879 in Ulm, Germany, Albert Einstein was a physicist who made quantum leaps in microscopic and macroscopic sciences and greatly influenced all of science with the derivation of his mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc2. At age five, Einstein received his first compass, and his fascination with it ignited a spark within him to investigate the natural world. As a child, Einstein was interested in math and science and excelled in these areas due to a self-education program he created. As

    objects move in a circular motion or change direction, they are accelerating, this form of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration (ac). The direction of the acceleration is always towards the centre of the circle. Centripetal acceleration can be represented by the formula ac=V2r=42rT2=42rf2. In these formulas, v is the velocity, r is the radius of the circle, T is the period, and f is the frequency. Furthermore, velocity can be represented by the following equations v=2rT=2rf. In order
