    coplanar forces though the use of graphical addition, rectangular components by graphical and trigonometric methods, and the use of the a force table. The magnitude through trigonometric methods was 1212.4 newtons,and the the magnitude through graphical addition was 1184 newtons. Due to time constraints, we were not able to use the force table. Discussion In part A, the weight of each force is found by multiplying the mass(g) of each force by gravity(10.0 m/s^2). The weight of force one is

    (Jones, 2012) In this experiment, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction, as it is at rest and there is no acceleration or motion in the horizontal direction. However, in the horizontal direction, there is the force of tension (FT) acting upwards, as the rope is holding it, while there is a force of gravity (Fg) acting downward, as the force of gravity is always acting downwards (DiGiuseppe, 2012). In the horizontal direction the net force (Fnet) would be zero as there are no

    friction is studied. Friction is the force that is parallel to the surface and goes against the force of motion. Friction is dependent on the material of the two surfaces acting upon each other. Two types of friction were observed. Kinetic friction is the friction of two surfaces in motion. Static friction is the friction that must be overcome in order for an object to be in motion. Static friction will always be greater than kinetic friction because it requires more force to move a motionless object than

    competition too narrowly, as if it occurred only among today’s direct competitors. Yet competition for profits goes beyond established industry rivals to include four other competitive forces as well: customers, suppliers, potential entrants, and substitute products. The extended rivalry that results from all five forces defines an industry’s structure and shapes the nature of competitive interaction within an industry. As different from one another as industries might appear on the surface, the underlying

    According to Lewin’s force field theory, he argued that any level of behaviour is maintained in a condition of “quasi-stationary equilibrium” by a force field comprising a balance of forces pushing for and resisting change. The aim of this literature review is to describe the key argument of the driving and restraining forces that respectively promote or impede the success of company’s transaction; the review primarily uses an integrative analysis of studies and reviews from the Hayes J (2014). The

    reaction force and subsequent linear motion of the center of mass of the body. A force is “a push or pull expressed as units of mass times units of length divided by unites of time squared or as newton in SI; a vector quantity (McGinnis 418).” Newton’s Second Law of motion (F=ma) governs the resulting motion of the subject’s force. A reaction force is equal and opposite to the force of the body as stated by Newton’s Third Law of Motion. A force platform was used to measure the ground reaction force of

    Analysis: 2. Of the alcohols tested 1-Butanol was found to contain the strongest intermolecular forces (IMF) of attraction, with Methanol containing the weakest. It was discovered through experimentation that Methanol induced the highest ?T of all alcohols tested, and that conversely 1-Butanol induced the lowest ?T. The atomic structure of all four alcohols is very similar, as starting with 1-Butanol a CH2 group is lost as you move from 1-Butanol to 1-Propanol to Ethanol and then again to Methanol

    them, may help to minimize and avoid the mental and physical pressures that are currently happening in the police force. There are specific stressors in which contribute to the mental and physical fatigue that police officers endure. Typically these stressors can be grouped into two clusters: stress associated with critical incidents and stress within the organization of the police force itself ( ). The first cluster, stress associated with critical incidents, focuses primarily on the job content

    Bullers Physics 1201Q Lab Section 002 Lab Activity 4: Centripetal Force Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to create a model that showed the motion of a spinning body and to test the accuracy of said model. The model was created by calculating the measurements of the orbital period of a stopping mass for six varying mass ratios and then comparing them to the model equation derived from the equation for centripetal force. The primary results of the lab were in agreement with the predicted

    Kayla Ward Formal lab report 1: lab 4 10/9/16 Centripetal Force Abstract: The idea of this experiment is to represent a mathematical model of centripetal force. This is obtained using a rubber stopper and various hanging weights. Using these items one would attach the weighted rubber stoppers to one end of the apparatus and a hanging mass on the opposite end. The time and number of rotations were recorded for various weight scenarios and then used to graph the square of the orbital period
