Equations of motion

Lab 1, problem 3: Motion Down an Incline Shaoren Yuan October 5, 2013 Physics 1301W, professor: Dr. Zudov, TA: David Abstract The processes of a cart rolling up and returning back along a track were recorded, and the processes (motion of the cart.) were described as equations. Also, we calculated the accelerations of every stage (aup, adown and ahighest). Then the relationship among aup, adown and ahighest was concluded. Finally, the acceleration was measured and was proved from data. Introduction

energy and allowing a small amount of movement of the plates. This movement of the tectonic plates produces the 4 types of seismic waves we feel in earthquakes, P waves, S waves, Love waves and Rayleigh waves. • P waves (or pressure waves) have a motion similar to sound waves in that the particle of the rock move in the direction of propagation, compressing and dilating the rock. P waves have the ability to travel through rock, and through liquid such as magma. In an Earthquake, these faster traveling

ball in the air and in motion. On the day of this demonstration, a professor, Alfred T. Halstead, recommended to change the name to “Volley Ball” because the game’s objective was to “volley” the ball over the net. William liked this idea and changed the name, he wrote the rules in a guide to be used for the development of

concavity of the curve. b. location of the inflection points on the curve. c. number of inflection points on the curve. d. area under the curve between certain bounds. 3. Which of the following choices is the general solution to this differential equation: ? a. b. c. d. 4. If D is the differential operator, then the general solution to a. b. c. d. 5. A particle traveled in a straight line in such a way that its distance S

This report will be focusing how some physics laws apply on the sport of figure skating. Friction is “the force that opposes the motion of an object.” (study.com) For figure skates to be able to glide across the ice, the ice needs to be almost frictionless. There is a thin layer of water on the ice rink that is formed when the blades glide over ice (blades melted ice as heat generated) which acts as a lubricant in between the ice and blades of ice skates; giving very little resistance to skaters

guidance and control missile system, the missile mathematical modeling is one of the most important steps. In this chapter, the mathematical model of the missile will be structure using six equations of motion to represent the motion of a body with six degrees of freedom, three force equations and three moment equations [6, 7]. Definitions of coordinate systems Two coordinate systems can be defined to describe the movement of missile: the earth-fixed coordinate system and the body coordinate system. The

So if there is no resistance this system could act like simple harmonic motion, but there is resistance in the system which means without the force it is a damped system and because of this force it has to be classified as a forced oscillator. So all of these forces act have to act in perfect harmony to keep the oscillating motion going or else this oscillator will no act like a forced oscillator and will act like a damped oscillator or a simple harmonic

Johannes Kepler was born December 27, 1571, Weil der Stadt, Germany. He was a German mathematician, astrologer,and astronomer. He attended Tübinger Stift a university in Germany from 1587-1591 and would be a teacher of astronomy at the same university. He married Barbara Müller and had 5 kids 2 of those kids died as infants he would get a divorce and remarry in 1613. He would die November 15, 1630, Regensburg, Germany he would leave a large contribution to the science and math curriculum coming

one of history’s greatest scientists. Not only is he one of the most recognizable names in the field of science, but he also made many remarkable discoveries. A few of his most recognizable discoveries are the three laws of motion more commonly known as Newton’s Laws of Motion. Isaac Newton was a large part of the scientific revolution in the 17th century. Many say he was one of the greatest minds during that time period. Isaac Newton made amazing contributions to not only science, but also to the

Another interesting point to note is that it is not so difficult to modify and symmetrise Maxwell’s equations if monopoles are ever observed to exist. The zero on the right hand side of Maxwell’s second equation (div B = 0) is simply replaced with the density of the magnetic charge, a term similar to that of the density of electric charge that occurs on the right hand side of the first of Maxwell’s equations (relating the divergence of the electric field to the density of the electric charge). In addition
